Ellen DeGeneres is finally getting her wish this weekend: Finding Dory is heading to theaters. Of course, we have to chat about that.

On this episode of USA TODAY's podcast Straight Up Hollywood, we talk about how DeGeneres-- the voice of Dory-- and Dory director Andrew Stanton brought back the Blue Tang and her aquatic co-stars over a decade after the original film came out (and a few years since DeGeneres started campaigning for a sequel). 

 

 

Also this week: entertainment reporter Carly Mallenbaum (@thatgirlcarly) attends a surprise standup show with Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones, and television reporter Bill Keveney (@billkev) hears from the stars of Cameron Crowe's new Showtime music series Roadies and discusses Emmys (Nominations have begun!). Oh, and we hear Little Mermaid tunes, as sung by Rebel Wilson, Sara Bareilles and Tituss Burgess.
