66 - What Can Disney Do About Epic Universe? + Hidden Figures (2016)

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 some interesting new shows coming to Disney+ and Universal Studios announces an opening year for their fourth Florida theme park. All that and more plus our featured film discussion on Hidden Figures. Does the true story about the women behind some of NASA's earliest space launches take off? Or was it better left hidden?
