Sorry Meadows

There are LOADS of characters in fiction, in TV shows and films and books and plays and musicals and EVERYTHING! But can you narrow them down to a Top 100? Well, Rhys, Mike and Sammy have attempted to devise their own list and we will be exploring each other's selections by the most timeless of methods..... THE WHEEL OF FORTUNE!

In this opening episode, we get a few entrants from the world of Disney, Doctor Who (typical, I know) and Community (check out our other podcast if you want more).

Join Sammy, Mike, Jack and Melanie as they discuss the freshly finished Loki! Did they like it, did they not? Who was Melanie thirsty for this time? WOW! so many questions but will we have all the answers? Find out!

We (Melanie) would like to apologise for the bad audio, it seems we were visited by the God of Goofs himself and he messed with our equipment. Guess, he didn't like some of the hot takes we had ;)

Thank you to Spike Capper for the theme song!

Following on from the Golden Age, Mike joins Rhys once again in a look back through Disney's animated past. This week we delve into the package films, a strange collection of money-saving projects and propaganda. This includes Saludos Amigos, The Three Caballeros, Melody Time, Fun & Fancy Free, Make Mine Music and The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr Toad.

Hey y'all, you know what's cool? Time loop films. There are loads and loads and loads of them, and they keep repeating and repeating the concept time and time again. In this episode Rhys, Mike and Mel look at 4 films from this (genre, is it a genre?) starting with the Grand-daddy Groundhog Day (1993) and then moving on to 3 examples of how the concept was utilized in unique ways, including Happy Death Day (2017), Edge of Tomorrow (2014) and Palm Springs (2020).

It feels like only yesterday we were celebrating the end of 2020, and yet here we are already at the end of June! Over that time, lots of new films and TV shows have been released and there have been ample opportunities to discover new content. Rhys, Melanie, Sammy and Mike take a look at the new releases that have stood out so far including new films like The Map of Tiny Perfect Places, Godzilla vs Kong, Army of the Dead and Mitchells vs The Machines, some new TV series like It's A Sin, Love Death + Robots Vol 2, Shadow & Bone and Legends of Tomorrow Season 6. Lastly, we look at films we discovered for the first time in 2021, most notably Spontaneous (2020), Short Term 12 (2013), Local Hero (1983) and When Marnie Was There (2014).

Sammy should watch The Lion King.

This week we take a look back into the nostalgia-filled childhoods of Jack, Sammy, Mike, and Rhys as we delve into the childhood video games that kick-started our lifelong passions for all things nerd! In this episode, we cover Pokemon Red (1996), Halo: Reach (2010), Transformers PS2 (2004) and Ratchet & Clank (2002).

Rhys is joined by Mike as we journey back in time through the history of Disney Animated films. Disney is obviously a household name in the 21stcentury. Holding a near Monopoly over the entertainment industry, it’s hard to watch a new release in cinema that isn’t owned or produced by the Big Mouse. Intrigued by how they became this successful, I decided to watch all 58 animated films, a genre which Disney is most well-known for. Having noticed Mike had started making his way through the films, I couldn’t miss this opportunity to ask him about these films.

We begin this watch-through at the very beginning, dubbed Disney's Golden Age! This includes Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Dumbo (1941) and Bambi (1942).

Now that we've got Justice League out of the way, we're going to lose all sense of focus, consistency or continuity so we can make what we want, whether people ask for it or not. Which in a strange coincidence also happens in the DCEU! This episode we look at the 4 remaining DCEU releases, Aquaman (2018), Shazam! (2019), Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020) and Wonder Woman 1984 (2020).

Mike, Sammy and Rhys continue their journey through the DCEU by discussing two films that, despite containing the same plot, structure, actors and characters, couldn't be anymore different. We'll start with the film that was made second but that came out first, Justice League (2017) before delving into the mammoth film that is Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021). Sit back, we enjoyed this one...
