71 - Bob Chapek Tries (And Fails) to Apologize + West Side Story (2021)

Plus or Bust - A Disney Podcast

Welcome to Plus or Bust - A Disney Podcast, where each week we discuss a different, random film from Disney's streaming video service, Disney+, and decide whether or not we would recommend it or not by giving a Plus or a Bust. We also discuss various Disney news and other Disney related topics so each week is something different.
On this episode we talk about the latest Disney news including Bob Chapek's responses to the Florida Don't Say Gay bill controversy and a new Muppet series is coming to Disney+ . All that and more plus our featured film discussion on West Side Story. Does Steven Spielberg's remake of the classic musical make us want to mambo? Or is it better off left in the salt shed?
