Have a beer at the new Indiana Jones-themed bar at Disney World this fall

Beginning this fall, you’ll be able to imbibe on some spirits, and get your Indiana Jones fix at the same time at Walt Disney World. America’s favorite mouse-based theme park is putting up a gastro-monument to the legendary archaeologist/adventurer — and for Indiana Jones nerds, the obscure theme is sure to cause a smirk.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, located in Downtown Disney, will be an aviation-themed lounge featuring themed cocktails, small plates, propeller-based ceiling fans, and a diving bell “booth.” The theme park’s blog gives a taste of the upcoming menu for the 150-capacity restaurant, including the “Hovito Mojito” (Barsol Quebranta Pisco, fresh lime juice, and simple syrup), the “Air Pirates Everything Pretzels” (made with house-made mustard and beer cheese fondue), and “Rolling Boulder Meatballs.”

Wondering who Jock Lindsey is? He’s Indy’s pilot of Raiders of the Lost Ark fame, and owner of a pet snake named Reggie. Most notably, he helps Indy escape from the angry natives at the beginning of Raiders — you remember, he’s the guy chilling in the seaplane as Indy narrowly avoids about 200 spears to the back of the head. While certainly a background character, Lindsey regularly rescues Dr. Jones from danger in his trusty nautical prop plane.

The Hangar Bar will include “an expansive bar, aviation decor filling the room, vintage travel posters covering the walls, and correspondence between Jock, Indy, and their fellow adventurers on display.” Visitors can also dine outside “in Jocks’ old steamboat,” named Reggie. The blog notes that Reggie the snake will be an important part of the new bar, so here’s hoping you don’t hate snakes as much as Dr. Jones does.

While you’re waiting for the latest installment in the Indiana Jones’ series, Disney wants you to take a trip to Orlando. If you do happen to make the trip later this year, you can make a day out of revisiting Indiana Jones by watching Raiders of the Lost Ark-inspired Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular. And you definitely have time: while there is another film in the works now that Disney has the reins to the franchise, Lucasfilm hasn’t begun working on a script yet.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar will be open for business at Walt Disney World Resort sometime this fall.

Why The Last Ronin could be the best TMNT movie ever made
The Last Ronin wields the weapons of his fallen brothers.

Four decades ago, Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird unleashed their independent comic book series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and took the industry by storm. Eastman and Laird’s Mirage Studios pulled off a feat that few other comic book companies in the 1980s were able to match. The success of the comic allowed the TMNT to cross over into an animated series in 1987, which only made the Turtles more popular. Toy lines, action figures, video games, and all manner of merchandise followed before Turtlemania reached its high point in 1990 with the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie.

In a way, it’s been all downhill from there. The Turtles’ popularity has waxed and waned over the last 40 years, but they’ve never quite recaptured the frenzy of Turtlemania. Even the most recent animated movie, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, managed to earn only $180.5 million worldwide. Mutant Mayhem received good reviews, but those aren’t the kind of numbers that scream box office hit.

If you have to watch one Disney+ movie this April, stream this one
An imagined underwater alien civilization in Aliens of the Deep.

It would be understandable if Disney+ subscribers feel a little jealous of Hulu in April. That's because the new additions to Hulu include The Big Lebowski, The Fifth Element, Hellboy, Ocean's 11, Jumanji: The Next Level, and even Wonder Woman. The only major Disney+ movie to debut in April was Wish. For families with kids or animation lovers, Wish might be enough. But when picking the one movie to watch on Disney+ in April, we decided to dive a little deeper into the streaming catalog. That's how we settled on our choice for the one Disney+ movie that you have to watch this month: Aliens of the Deep.

Between the premiere of Titanic in 1997 and Avatar in 2009, director James Cameron threw himself into the realm of underwater exploration and directed or co-directed two documentary films. Cameron's first documentary, Ghosts of the Abyss, is not on Disney+. But Aliens of the Deep has a permanent home here. This movie was originally an IMAX release and it was filmed in IMAX 3D. The streaming experience may not be able to replicate that, but Aliens of the Deep is still visually dazzling even in 2D. And now, we'll share the three reasons why you should watch Aliens of the Deep this month.
It's one of James Cameron's passion projects

Everything you need to know about Umbrella Academy season 4
The cast of The Umbrella Academy stands together in the main room of the family mansion.

More than a year ago, Netflix announced that its superhero series The Umbrella Academy would be returning for a fourth and final season. It's one of the best shows on Netflix, and has been consistently inventive throughout its run on the streaming service. The show first premiered in 2019, and is adapted from a comic book series of the same name. Season 3 ended on a pretty suspenseful cliffhanger, so fans of the show were undoubtedly pleased with the news that the show would be back for one more rodeo.

If you're looking forward to the show's fourth and final season, you're not alone. Here's everything we know about the upcoming season, including who will be returning, how many episodes i will have and when it's coming out.
