Friday Island Podcast

Uhh yeah, the final episode is here!
Speed Racer and stuff! Fun chats, a little sentimental, mostly just silly, classic Friday Island Podcast, right to the end!

Oh the weather outside is frightful, and the podcast is surely ending, but since it's not over yet, let's talk about How the Grinch Stole Christmas!
Oh, didn't see ya there, you're just in time for the penultimate episode of the podcast! You may have heard that all the makeup and costume stuff Jim Carrey had to wear was uncomfortable, but I'll bet you don't know just how bad it really was (it was basically torture). Do you know where the set of Whoville was built? Or who originally recommended Jim Carrey for the role of the Grinch?
Now sit back and relax by the fireplace and enjoy the podcast while it lasts because THE END IS NIGH AND THE BOYS ARE EVACUATING FRIDAY ISLAND SOON.
Oh yeah, merry Christmas and happy holidays!

Oh, so glad to see you've made it! This week, the boys would like to give you a warm welcome to The White Lotus, Sicily (season 2)!
Here, you'll find accommodations such as, elegant rooms with authentic modern Sicilian decor (deep dives on the visuals of the title sequence), lovely views of the Ionian Sea (jokes and spoiler-filled discussions around behind the scenes trivia), and even death (bad IMDb reviews, or more accurately, the ever-approaching end of the podcast)!
Please, make yourself comfortable, enjoy a glass of prosecco sparkling under the Italian sun, take a dip in the pool or the ocean, although we do recommend you steer clear of any yachts, the palazzo owners in the area are a little sus.

Once we colonize planets, is Santa gonna have to fly through space? Will he and his reindeer wear space suits? Maybe the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday special will help, thank goodness that's what the boys are discussing this week!
Why is this Holiday Special important for MCU canon? What changes were made for Cosmo the Spacedog and why? What would Neil and Zach have done differently for this? And how did Nebula get Rocket that gift??
And please stick around for the second half of the episode for some very important podcast news, because you're our holiday special, and we want to cue you in on the future of Friday Island!

Arg, ya see the waters 'round Friday Island be more treacherous than ever before... the lads must be talkin' bout Pirates of the Caribbean yet again...
Ya must be wonderin' bout the trivia fer At World's End, what treacherous conditions did the cast and crew have to work in while filming the maelstrom? What inspired the Brethren Court of Shipwreck Island? And of course, how in this wide world did Germany title this here trilogy?
Quick now, hoist the colours or abandon ship to meet a fate worse than death with Davy Jones himself! (that means please listen to the episode, obviously)

After our last MCU episode, everyone was just saying, "Nah, more!" So we figured we had to do more and it just worked out that the antagonist of this film is Namor, true story.
Just as the MCU returns to Friday Island, so does ADR specialist and friend of the podcast, Jennie! Do you know which actor wanted their character to be the main antagonist? Or how the costume designer worked with so many underwater scenes? Or who nearly played the role of Shuri in Black Panther (2018)? And where was Daniel Kaluuya?
Come on through the invisible wall that makes Friday Island just look like a Wakandan jungle and join us for trivia, talks, and laughs!

Daaa Daaaaa Da-da-da-da-daaa Dun-dun-da-da-da-da-Duuh-Daaaah Dununananaaaah Dun-Dun-Dun-Nah-Nuh-Nah-Nuuuuuuuuh.

Brrr, doesn't that cool autumn wind just make you wanna explore a liminal space between life and death, fall and winter, cute and creepy? Well, the boys sure did! Besides, autumn wouldn't be complete without Over the Garden Wall!
Have you seen the elusive short film that inspired this iconic animated mini-series? What major differences are there between the original concept for the mini-series, and the final product? Do you know all the names of Greg's frog off the top of your head? And is that frog the key to unlocking the mysteries of The Unknown?
You're welcome to bring along your talking blue bird or your own special frog, just please don't tell Jason Funderberker about it.

Spooky season may be over and the Silent Hill/Dead by Daylight fog has finally lifted, but now there's a big office building with a bunch of goats, awkward people, and cards with instructions on how to fight people, it's like the world's strangest petting zoo... Or the boys are just talking about Severance—yeah that's probably it.
Do you know where the show was filmed, or that the street address is a reference to a major real-world company? How much was written for Rickon's lackluster self-help book? Why does the eerie Main Titles theme strike such a chord with you—pun intended.
And what even happened in this show? Oh yeah, there are theories in this one, a show like this doesn't have an episode without a whole lot of theorizing; so please, wear your tinfoil hats as you determine which numbers look friendly and which look scary.

The podcast is officially two years old as of this episode, and the guys are just gettin crazy sentimental! But in typical guy fashion, the sentimentality looks less like softly weeping bittersweet tears together, and more like a funny, reflective vibe! Please, join the boys for a nice walk down memory lane over the last year, and play a fun, funny, and year-two-relevant game with them!
And of course, thank you so much for another year on Friday Island with us, we can't thank you enough, and we hope you'll continue to enjoy all that we have to come!
