·18 min·1 clip

They trust audience scores over critics for Marvel movies, and Ant-Man's audience score is in the 80s.

1. UTM TV covers Ant-Man, Disney World annual passholder changes, Super Nintendo World Hollywood, Rogers the Musical, and the Disneyland Hotel villas. 2. Connie and Bruce host the discussion, and their Disney parks experience matters because they compare annual pass rules, hotel stays, and theme-park expectations from personal visits. 3. The episode asks whether recent Disney and Marvel news actually changes what fans should watch, visit, or book. 4. They say Ant-Man's early Rotten Tomatoes score landed in the 40s or 50s, while the audience score rose to 83 and 85. 5. They describe Ant-Man as a feel-good Marvel movie and say Paul Rudd's comic timing still works for them. 6. They miss Michael Peña's chemistry with Paul Rudd and say the new father-daughter dynamic did not feel as believable. 7. They compare the three Ant-Man films and say the first one remains the most underrated and most rewatchable. 8. They discuss Disney World annual pass holders getting park entry after 2 p.m. without reservations in a few weeks. 9. They frame that move as a possible step toward ending the reservation system altogether. 10. They argue that Disney has had enough time since 2020 to restore a more normal park-entry process. 11. They mention Universal as a comparison point and say its parks do not require the same level of planning. 12. They relay Club UTM feedback that Super Nintendo World in Hollywood felt underwhelming and crowded. 13. They note that Universal Studios Hollywood has limited space, which affects how the land feels right now. 14. They caution against judging a new attraction too early because new openings often draw heavy crowds and constant filming. 15. They say the Rogers musical from Hawkeye and She-Hulk is coming to Disney's California Adventure this summer. 16. They describe it as a short, one-act show on Hyperion's stage and treat it as a limited-time test. 17. The tone stays conversational and opinionated, with back-and-forth reactions rather than a formal news read. 18. The pacing moves quickly from Marvel film reactions to park-policy updates and then to upcoming Disney entertainment. 19. People who follow Disney Parks updates and Marvel-themed attractions will likely enjoy this episode. 20. People who want deep film criticism or musical-theater analysis may skip it.
