Pokémon The First Movie (w/James Rodrigues)

🧪Humans may have created me, but they will never enslave me.

James joins me again to return to the Pokémon franchise! This time, we're looking back at the FIRST MOVIE!

Existential, thoughtful story that establishes discussion around cloning? or FIGHT = BAD = SAD? That depends on how extended your cut is!

Barbie and the Rockers: Out of This World (In A Barbie World w/Stephen Palmer)

COME ON BARBIE, LET'S GO PARTY!  It's here! Stephen and I begin our breakdown of Barbie Movies TM!
In the first episode we discuss our relationship with the films, and of course the doll herself - a bit of history behind the first instalment  (a 2 part TV special) - and of course, what we thought of Barbie's first outing into motion picture! 

With 37 movies to go, a leader board to keep checking in on and a host of different worlds to visit - we're gonna HAVE SO MUCH FUN!

Jay joins me to look back on an oft forgot disaster movie from the 90's! I'd never heard of it, had you heard of it? It's great. Seriously! Rob Cohen 1996. (the same year and director of Dragonheart: Best Movie In The World) what could go wrong?

Cutthroat Island (w/Hannah Harrison)

Cutthroat Island (w/Hannah Harrison)

"Stop your chatter and say something Latin-ish." ☠️

FEMALE LEAD GENRE MOVIE LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hannah once again brings a fabulous recommendation from her parents to the pod!

With a death to rival darling Denethor of Gondor, and a lead who just happens to be a woman, Cutthroat Island has it's problems, sure (don't worry we fix them) but it's a must see for how refreshing it is.

Should women get punched in movies? Are female lead movies good? All this and more ☠️
