I just couldn’t wait until midnight! With one hour remaining until Taylor Swift releases her tenth studio album, Midnights, it is the perfect time to release an episode that has long been in the bag – just waiting for Taylor to help the stars align. Good friends Kate Rose and Courtney Colen joined the show (not the first appearance for either!) to talk about our favorite Taylor Swift songs – ever! (Not limited to just one album!) But with a topic this massive and important to the podcast, it couldn’t be an ordinary installment. Instead, it had to be a DRAFT! That’s right, soon enough it’ll be time to vote again on who won the draft. But for now, just enjoy the fact that we’re going to dish on fifteen songs (and then some) for nearly two hours. Swifties rejoice! This is our tome and tribute to her all-time artistry.

Thanks for bearing with us as we took last weekend off! But we’re back in full force as Ryan Foley makes his thirteenth appearance on the podcast! Wow! What a milestone! 13 on the 13th (of October). Almost Friday the 13th, too! Anyway, Ryan joins today for our very first DUAL EPISODE of the podcast. Oooooh, how fun! That’s right: it’s two topics at once! Ryan and I have always bonded over television and it only makes sense to dish on our favorite episodes and our favorite emotional moments at the same time. They’re the best parts of television! It’s also quite fitting to share this following the news that Community’s #SixSeasonsAndAMovie prophecy has finally come true. Happy day and love to all!

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!

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!
