This week on The Collider.com Podcast, we're talking about the new, photoreal version of The Lion King. We talk about why the film is a dark harbinger of things to come, the power Disney exerts over the marketplace, why it fails to capture the magic of the original, if younger generations will prefer this new version over the 1994 movie, and much more. We then finish up with Recently Watched.
