"In honor of Godzilla day (which was November 3rd) Host Austin talks about the king of all monsters. Godzilla, Gojira, whichever you prefer; this massive movie giant had humble beginnings in post war Japan. How does Godzilla’s legacy hold up today? How does it fit in with America’s obsession with large monsters and our rampant military propaganda? Why is “King Kong vs. Godzilla” a real movie? Are you Team Godzilla, or Team King Kong?"

It’s the end of an era, and potentially the end of the world. For the first time in almost 60 years, “It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown” will not air on cable. What does this mean for other Snoopy specials that have faded into obscurity? Why does Sony Music Japan own a major chunk of the “Peanuts” Company? And just who is Wild Brain Entertainment? We only answer some of these questions. Others, we’re hoping you can answer for us.

Your Captain Americas. “Blade” paved the way for superhero movies as mainstream entertainment. Host Brenda also talks about the McBarge, a floating Mcdonalds. It’s relevant. Trust me.

Comic con came and went, and nothing of much import occurred, so we don't have much to say. However, Host Brenda watched a 20 year old Disney movie and uncovered the hidden history behind its hi-jinks. If you think the Emperor's New Groove is just a movie about a man who is turned into a llama, you aren't exactly wrong, but you aren't completely right. We uncover this film's surprising history as "Kingdom of the Sun", and also talk too much about the Toy Story Universe in the process.
