Featuring: a stolen Shane Dawson intro & fun facts, Star Wars canon destruction, not-sponsored games, yes-sponsored audiobooks (thanks, Audible!), & salamander prejudice.

This week, Nick, Riley, & Tyler take on the classic children television character. The Magic School Bus. What if there were a fleet of them, and they were for a purpose other than education?

Join Riley, Nick, & Tyler in this episode of Popular Apocrypha as they discuss the intricacies of classic Disney conscience, Jiminy Cricket. How would it look if Jiminy stood for more than himself? What about the Disney timeline? And how can we incorporate Forest Gump for no good reason?
