Friday Island Podcast

On this MARVELous episode of the podcast, the boys are joined by their first guest, who shares her experiences working behind-the-scenes on ADR for WandaVision (don't worry, we explain what ADR is). The boys share trivia, show/comic book differences, and bad reviews, while Jennie lets us in on a not so often seen side of working with actors that lends itself to some wild stories! Join this lively crew as they discuss their love for the MCU, its characters, and Animal Crossing. Plus, there's a sticker giveaway, and we know how much ya'll love free stuff (who doesn't?)!

This week, the boys discuss Bong Joon Ho’s Oscar-winning social commentary masterpiece, Parasite. Just how metaphorical is this work of art? Is there just one “Parasite” like the title implies? Is the beautiful Kim house real? How long was Bong Joon Ho writing the screenplay? What other films inspired Bong in creating Parasite? Who else is a parasite? Am I a parasite? Are you a parasite? Oh no...

In this episode of the Friday Island Podcast, the boys return to Hogwarts for the fifth time to discuss Zach's favorite entry: "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix". As usual, there's some fire trivia and plenty of changes from the original novel. How many actresses auditioned for the role of Luna Lovegood?

For the final episode of February romance movies month, the boys discuss  "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind". In this episode, Neil kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on Netflix's new original series: Winx. Zach shares trivia on today’s topic, like the stellar cast, strange writing choices for different characters, the hectic timeline, and he even calls a fake number from the film's website! It’s a wild episode, but we swear you won’t wanna erase your memory after listening to it!

Friday Island continues its romance month with the most recent musical phenomena: "La La Land". What exactly did it take to film the remarkable opening tracker shot? What caused the now-famous Oscars mixup? Why aren't Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone together in real life? How much influence was there from classic musicals? Are there too many colors, or is it in that perfect sweet spot? Is this too many questions for a description? Listen and find out!

It's time for Valentine's Day, and the boys talk romance with "The Notebook". They have a lot to say about this classic, and not all of it is good. From Ryan Gosling trivia to huge plot holes and character problems, there is something in here for everyone. Plus, Neil gives his thoughts on the hit Netflix show "Bridgerton", just in case you wanted to hear it. So grab some chocolate hearts and rose petals and enjoy!

As Friday Island kicks off their Valentine's Day celebrations, the boys discuss Neil's favorite Harry Potter film, Goblet of Fire. From the numerous book differences to the awesome villain reveal and other wizarding schools around the world, this episode talks about it all. And yes, we do talk about Robert Patterson. A lot. But it's cool though, 'cause he's gonna be the bat dude.

In this episode, Zach and Neil discuss Netflix's "The Queen's Gambit". From the cool production design to subtle foreshadowing and some wild fan theories, the boys discuss it all. They even debate who would beat the other in a game of actual, real-life chess, and then don't play because you can't see that when you listen to a podcast. That's just how it goes!

Oh, geez. The Friday Island Podcast boys look into one of the most iconic Mid-Western crime movies, Fargo. Was it really based on a true story? How much of the movie actually took place in Fargo?  Just how funny-lookin' is Steve Buscemi? There's trivia, discussions on aspects of the movie that just don't vibe well, honest questions, and plenty of silly accents. Oh, yah?
