On this episode of Fonseca Mommy & Me, we head all the way to Australia to talk about Bluey, the Disney+ favorite that has become one of the most beloved family shows in the world.We look at why Bluey, Bingo, Bandit, and Chilli connect with kids and parents, how the show turns everyday family life into big imaginative adventures, and why its Australian humor, accents, and heart make it feel different from many American children’s shows.We also talk about how Bluey exploded in popularity, becoming a streaming powerhouse, why parents love it just as much as kids, and what families can learn from its themes of play, patience, creativity, and growing up together.Quick Facts for the Show* Bluey is an Australian animated preschool series created and written by Joe Brumm and produced by Ludo Studiofor the Australian Broadcasting Corporation and BBC Studios Kids & Family. * The show follows Bluey, a lovable Blue Heeler puppy, her sister Bingo, and parents Bandit and Chilli, with stories centered around family play and everyday life. * Episodes are usually short — around 7 minutes — which makes them easy for young kids to watch and very easy for families to rewatch. * In Australia, Bluey streams through ABC iview / ABC Kids, while in the U.S. it became huge through Disney+ and Disney Junior. * Bluey was Nielsen’s top overall U.S. streaming title of 2024, with 55.62 billion viewing minutes on Disney+. * It stayed massive in 2025, winning Nielsen’s top streaming title again with about 45 billion viewing minutes. * A Bluey animated feature film is planned for theaters in 2027, followed by Disney+ streaming and later airing/streaming on ABC platforms in Australia.
Australian TV vs. American Kids TV — Simple Talking PointsBluey feels very Australian because:* The family keeps their Australian accents, phrases, humor, outdoor lifestyle, and everyday Brisbane feel. * The show is more about imaginative play and family moments than big villains, loud action, or constant jokes. * The parents are written with unusual depth for a preschool show. Bandit and Chilli are funny, tired, loving, imperfect, and very real. * It comes from a public-broadcasting tradition through ABC Kids, so it feels less like a toy commercial and more like a slice of family life.
Compared with a lot of American kids TV:* American children’s shows are often built around bigger episode blocks, brighter pacing, clear lessons, and sometimes stronger merchandise/franchise goals. * Bluey is slower, smaller, and more emotional. A game in the backyard can become the whole story. * It does not talk down to kids — and it gives parents something to feel, too.
How Bluey Erupted in PopularityBluey took off because it works on two levels at the same time: kids love the games, characters, and silly moments, while adults connect with the parenting, exhaustion, humor, and emotional honesty. The short episodes also make it perfect for repeat viewing, which helped it dominate streaming. Disney+ then gave the Australian series a giant U.S. platform, turning a local favorite into a global family phenomenon.

Okay you GUYS, Darth Maul is literally the coolest character in all of Star Wars and now he has his OWN show on Disney+ and I cannot even handle it. The Maul series is SO awesome — he's got the red and black face, the spooky gold eyes, and the double-sided red lightsaber that nobody else in the galaxy has. And here's the best part: he's not just a bad guy anymore. He's a SHADOW LORD, which basically means he runs a whole gang of bad guys and even THEY are scared of him. That's how cool he is.The fights are amazing, the bad guys are creepy in the good way, and Maul does these flippy jumpy moves that are way better than any regular Jedi. When he talks, his voice is all growly and scary, but you can also tell he's super smart — like, he plans everything out before he fights. He's not just strong, he's tricky.If you have Disney+ and you haven't watched Maul yet… what are you even DOING with your life?? Pause this podcast (after it's over, obviously), go watch it, and then come back.Five out of five lightsabers from me. Maybe six.Tune in to hear me and my [mom/grown-up] break down what makes Maul the absolute BEST.

It is time for another game review on Nintendo Switch. It is with mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Rabbid, Peach, Rabbid Luigi and many other friends (but we find out not Daisy). So listen about a very popular game that still is the buzz since its release last year.
All inspired by the one and only Fonseca who said he wanted to help others understand, "How to deal with disappointments." So let's listen and learn.
You can always start your day right with action especially with Jason Statham and now in Meg2: The Trench Jing Wu and Shuya Sophia Cai.
This sequel follows Meg, the 2018 blockbuster, shark - no I mean Megalodon, the Giant Prehistoric Shark, that has recorded to be as long as 60 feet. However, the movie was 80 feet and there were multiple.
The movie was so good, Mr. Fonseca aka the KID, watched it twice because he had to have his older brothers, Mateo and Andre check it out. The movie is theoried to inspire future palaeontologists and we need it because the ocean floor is the most unexplored area in the world.
The movie is adapted from the bestselling novel "Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror" by Steve Alten. But this movie set in the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean may have a lot of scientific inaccuracies - the megalodon are known to be extinct, but exploring the unknown as a diver or a future scientist may inspire another generation to explore the ocean floor.
Trivia fact: Why the big hype about Pippin the dog? While the Meg wants RIP Pippin, this movie keeps coming back and was first scene in the original Jaws but as Pipit, the black labrador retriever, the true star of Jaws.
Positive review to make sure to go to this movie especially if Barbie is sold out, again!
Is this movie good enough for a back to back viewing, one day after the next? Apparently, YES! Watch the updated Haunted Mansion movie - yes the other one not with Eddie Murphy. Yet, this movie has an all star cast with one of your favorites and soon one of your kid's favorites.
A diverse cast along with diverse stories and backgrounds (a psychic, scientist, a "priest", historican a single mom and a kid -- just perfect for the Fonseca Mommy and ME Show!

We still think that Dwayne Johnson is the best Black Adam for the DC Universe despite what James Gunn decides. As James Gunn removes actors like Henry Cavill and others from the DC Universe to relaunch DC movies with Warner Brothers, we still wanted to put out this review that was enjoyable and great.
If you are asking who is Black Adam he is an anti-hero and was pushed hard by Dwayne Johnson for years and was motivated and was a spin-off because of the success of Shazam.
Black Adam brings a diverse cast with legends and new upcoming legends like Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate, he did the role so good, Quintessa Swindell who plays a fairly unheard DC hero, Cyclone, then there is Noah Centineo who is Atom Smasher.
This movie earned $391.3 million dollars and had a budget of $260 million dollars. His powers are so great that Superman did make a guest appearance because he can endure lots of energy blasts.
Realy appreciate the origin story and enjoy it while you can regardless of the low Rotten Tomatoes review, let's learn what a kid thinks of DC's Black Adam.
