May The 4th Be With You!
Episode 49 takes you to “a galaxy far, far away” as Adam Hartel (@hartelstudio), a Star Wars guru and visual artist, joins Ready 2 Retro to talk about “What Makes Star Wars so Popular?”

Whether you are a diehard fan or haven’t seen the films at all, there is something here for everyone as the conversation covers: the mythological impact of Joseph Campbell’s work on the Star Wars series, how the series changed the merchandizing game forever, the global impact of Star Wars a whole, the special effects revolution that it launched and so much more!

If you're a regular listener of Ready 2 Retro, you probably anticipated this review coming eventually. Well eventually is now! Join Max and Chris as they dive into this silly, forgotten and very obscure Disney movie from 1998 called "Meet the Deedles" starring Paul Walker (Fast & Furious). The movie is "so diculous! It's re-diculous" (actual quote from the movie). So dust off your puka shell necklace, open up a can of Surge and get ready for some "killer dismounts"!

With the recent release of Godzilla vs Kong (2021) it was only right that Ready 2 Retro reviewed the original encounter of these two iconic monsters. In order to do this properly, we asked an expert to the Godzilla universe and buddy of R2R, Rudy from The Ghoul Mates Podcast, to help us review 1963's "King Kong vs. Godzilla"! Join us as we go through the plot and shenanigans of this hilariously awesome movie!

To celebrate the belated 25th anniversary of Adam Sandler’s “Happy Gilmore”, our buddy and “The Godfather of Ready 2 Retro”, Joey from Ninja Toitles joins Max and Chris to give honor to this amazing comedy! The three of them get into why this movie is a classic, discuss their favorite lines and scenes but also Chris and Joey face off in a competition on whether they can distinguish a name that is attached to a professional golfer or an Adam Sandler character. This and so much more!

Ready 2 Retro is going back to 1994 to view for the very first time, the pilot to one of the greatest Nickelodeon shows of all time, "All That". We are joined by "All That" enthusiasts and friend of the show, Prime from the "Prime Nostalgia Podcast" as he helps R2R go through every skit element of the pilot! If you are a fan of the golden age of Nickelodeon, you definitely don't want to miss this episode!

Our 4th and final week of Macaulay Madness is here! Joining us for this monumental occasion is Tim and Dean from the Talking Back Podcast as they join R2R to reminisce about 1994’s “Richie Rich”!

Also in this episode we try to guess Forbes’ top 15 richest fictional characters, give you part 4 of Macaulay’s life including what he is doing now as an adult and so much more!
