With this week’s announcement that Rihanna would perform during the 2023 Super Bowl Halftime Show, it only made sense to finally publish a long-gestating episode with Robert Diaz! Long before a team of rappers took the stage, Roberto made his fourth appearance on the pod to draft our favorite halftime shows ever performed. That’s right, y’all! It’s another draft! Be sure to keep a look out for a Twitter poll on who won the draft. But it’s a fun time either way, as artists and performers from Prince to Beyoncé to Coldplay and beyond get a shoutout here. Here’s to a top five-worthy performance from Rihanna next year! (And Taylor Swift one day.) Love to all!

So, couple things. One, help support healthcare for women and believe in the right to choose. Help endangered species. Help push legislation against preventable gun violence in our schools and communities. Help support public education.

Paradigms as a Second Language by Dave Wheelroute is available now! It is a collection of short stories and personal essays that will delight readers of all sensibilities. It includes a short story about Gosling, too! All proceeds Dave Wheelroute receives will go to the Worcester County Food Bank and the Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, in equal measure!

We are rapidly approaching the one year anniversary of Spider-Man: No Way Home, so it’s only logical to devote the 101st episode to lots of Spider-Man talk! A friend from all the way back to fifth grade, Lena Sheldon, joins the episode this week for her first ever appearance! And she brings all of her expertise on everyone’s favorite web-crawler/wall-slinger, Peter Parker/Miles Morales/Gwen Stacy/etc. We discuss the best Spider-Man portrayals we’ve ever seen on screen (movies, television, theme parks, and more included. Not comics. Sorry, Ditko.) and spend some time reminiscing on our favorites. With great podcasts come great responsibilities.

So, couple things. One, help support healthcare for women and believe in the right to choose. Help endangered species. Help push legislation against preventable gun violence in our schools and communities. Help support public education.

Folks, it’s the 100th episode of Goodbye Mello Brick Road! Can you believe it? That’s more than Breaking Bad! It’s crazy that this podcast started five years ago and we’ve now eclipsed a major milestone – nearly simultaneously! I love this hobby and I love all the people who take the time to share it with me. To celebrate, my dad is back on the show! He joins the five-timers club. Fun fact, though: his first appearance was in the first episode! It was only fitting to them have him back for the centennial mark, too! Together, we don’t come up with lists for our favorite comic strips, but rather we unpack the history behind many of them. It’s a great ep and one I’m proud to be the 100th. Here’s to 100 more and lots more love with everyone! You’re the best.

Congratulations to Stevie on winning the Twitter poll for last week’s Disney movie draft! Why not keep the good times rolling ahead of the D23 Expo this weekend with the best Pixar movies? In a nearly two year old episode, recorded after the release of Soul (hence why there’s no Turning Red, Lightyear, or Luca discussion), Ryan Foley and KL return to talk about the best cinematic offerings from one of the best animation studios to ever do it! Pixar is responsible for high quality movies and it’s nearly impossible to rank them, but if you cook up a top five, feel free to send them along! See if you can top what Ryan and I were capable of!

This is not your average top five list! This is a special top five list! Because it’s not a list at all. It’s a draft! The first ever draft comes to Goodbye Mello Brick Road and it is a metric ton of fun. Brett, Stevie, and Pappy Malcolm take a break from the excellent Spoilers! podcast to venture down the Mello Brick Road and discuss some Disney movies! The best part? It’s in draft format! Five picks per person! I was first exposed to Spoilers! through Disney so it’s only right to convene again like this. Enjoy!

Listen to the Spoilers! podcast on all platforms!

Check out the lists Brett made on Letterboxd to see our draft selections and be sure to vote in the Twitter poll tomorrow! I’ll probably put it on Instagram stories, too! Here’s Brett’s list, Pappy’s list, Stevie’s list, and my list.

A long time ago, Dustin and I recorded a podcast about our favorite cereals. Due to technical errors, that episode was lost to time. But we pay homage to it this week with a countdown of our favorite cereal mascots! It’s not Dustin, though. Instead, Sydney Bryant joins the podcast for the first time this week and we have a LOT to say about the various intricacies of those smiling, colorful faces we see every time we go to the grocery store. Does Tony the Tiger have kids? How old was Boo Berry when he died? There’s a ton to unpack and Sydney is the perfect person to unpack it all with! Love to all!

Welcome to the five-timers club, Zev Behar! Once again, Zev joins for a rip-roaring time on the podcast. We are two fine folks who love to travel so we dished on the cities we’re most excited to visit one day in both the United States and in the world around us. The world is wide and daring yourself to experience and connect with new cultures and new people is part of what can help make it an even better place to live. Just make sure you are respectful of the people whose home is your vacation destination for a bit. Treat it with respect and leave it better than you found it! That’s what can make travel so much fun and so enriching! Plus, you can maybe see Zev on your endeavors! Win win!

Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken us to new heights – and to new streaming services. After movies like Black Widow, Shang-Chi, Eternals, and Spider-Man: No Way Home and series like WandaVision, Loki, and Hawkeye gave us a hint as to where we’re going after Avengers: Endgame, it made complete sense to follow up on an idea from longtime guest, Ryan Foley! Making his eleventh appearance on the podcast (wowza!), Ryan joins for a LIVE! And IN PERSON podcast! We count down our top five most anticipated MCU projects, as of January 26, 2022. You know. Long before we knew about Avengers: The Kang Dynasty and Avengers: Secret Wars. But we work with what we got! Love to all and Ryan!

Oh my god, we’re back again. After about a year and a half hiatus (look, man, things were busy, okay?), Goodbye Mello Brick Road has returned to your podcast feeds and your ears! Season four is long awaited and has long been teased and now we’re kicking it off! The first step is easing in, though. To do that, we’re just doing a quick solo outing. Just to get our footing, you know? It’s the best of 2021! Join me as I count down my five favorite movies, books, television shows, albums, sports moments, podcasts, tweets, and more from 2021. It was quite a year, but it’s good to be back and discussing the best of a year when we haven’t checked in on each other in a while. Season four is going to be the best year for the show yet and I can’t wait to explore new formats and guests with you all, as well as our returning favorites. Love to all!

Well, the robins are back. That’s a sure sign of spring! Sadly, the podcast event miniseries that many people are saying has irrevocably changed the trajectory of 2021 is coming to an end today. But there’s still a whole episode of fun to be had! Hector Servin is back once again (he’s absolutely obliterated his way into the nine-timers club, forget about the five-timers club) to cap off Attraction Quotes Week! We’ve traveled to the movies, to the animals, to the future, and to Hogsmeade. Now, we’ve headed back where it all began fifty years ago: the Magic Kingdom! So many attraction quotes to choose from – plenty of time to do it! And maybe a ghost will follow you home! Thank you!

Check out Hector’s clothing company, Doramount!
