Friday the 13th is Fun Lucky night of premieres, which might just be the least catchy promotion name I've ever heard of. It's like if they said must see TV is make sure you watch this television.
It is. Oh, my gosh. It's bad. It showed immediately after the channel premiere of Toy Story 4 and right before Descendants, The Royal Wedding and Disney's Magic Bake Off. So quite a huge night of entertainment.

This was the first DCOM ever to score less than a million viewers in its first airing. And this, my friends, is just the new norm with streaming services. Kids don't watch traditional TV.

Then, even after the scheduling changes, it was finally added to Disney Plus in November of 2021 as part of Disney Plus Day, an annual celebration and content dump for the anniversary of the streaming service's launch.

I do. I love it. I get my Disney Plus candles and I'm very happy. Nice. Spin was the first DCOM to be filmed during the pandemic. Yes, it was shot in, well, Toronto, Canada. So there you go. It gives us a small Utah break from October 5th, 2020 to November 20th, 2020. So it was right in the mix of an absolutely insane time in the world. Very little was filming.

Doesn't it? Well, it is. With the short attention spans that social media has given us, 378 days is 9 million years. And worth noting that Spin was released in India on Disney Plus Hotstar, which is their version of the studio subscription service, and Disney International HD, their version of the channel, on August 15th, 2021, Indian Independence Day.
