Stolendroids Podcast

Remember when Yoda said, "Begun, the Console War has" at the end of Attack of the Clones? Or maybe it was something about the Clone War. I don't quite remember. Anyway, with Sony and Microsoft both recently releasing their next-gen consoles, the debate of which is better: Xbox or PlayStation has new fuel added to the fire. Of course, many gamers will say that PC is the Master Race, but I digress. 

In this week's episode of Stolendroids Podcast, our panelists discuss their recent console purchases. Find out who bought what and why they chose what they did. They also discuss some of the pros and cons of the different consoles, what games they are looking forward to, and the hits and misses from the previous generation of gaming consoles. 

But that's not all! To help turn the fun up to 11, we have not one, not two, but three special guests! Listen now to find out who they are but be warned; entertainment lies ahead.

Every four years, citizens in the United States go through the time-honored tradition of selecting who will be our next Overlord, I mean President. And every four years, these contests become more and more heated as the margins of victory grow tighter and tighter. In fact, as time has passed, election season has started to resemble something from a young adult dystopian novel. But we're not here to talk politics, or are we?

In this week's episode of Stolendroids Podcast, our panelists take advantage of the timely presidential elections by discussing their favorite fictional presidents. Not only are those who have held the highest office in the land talked about at length, but they also talk about those whom they would like to see become President of their respective imaginary universes.

Who was missed? Who would you have put on the list of best and worst fictional President? Let us know on social media!

There are some who would argue that Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest cartoons since The Flintstones, and those people are probably right. But what makes it so great? Why does the series still hold up after so many years?

Come listen to our panel discuss how the Avatar: The Last Airbender manages to tell stories that are fun and entertaining for kids, but still intricate and interesting enough for adults. And true to form, our panelists manage to get sidetracked a time or two. Or three.

As children, we all had our favorite toys. Some were awesome, some weren't. And then some needed to be burned and sent back from whence they came. You know the ones: the porcelain doll with the dead eyes, the teddy bear that reads you stories with its dead eyes, Furby. The nightmares were real, but toy manufacturers didn't always instill fear in children on purpose. And that's what we're talking about on this episode of Stolendroids Podcast.

Listen as our panelists run through some of their favorite unintentionally creepy toys while also asking for large corporate sponsorships and discussing the house-breaking of children. (Yep, you read that right.) And once you're done listening, let us know what some of your favorite nightmare fuel playthings were/are.

The trailer for the second season of The Mandalorian on Disney+ is here! We have some thoughts, and you know that we can't pass up an opportunity to discuss them. In this episode, we have a trailer viewing party, talk about what we are most looking forward to in the upcoming season, and what characters we are excited to see and why.

But before that, we discuss the show's first season and the impact it had on the Star Wars fandom itself. And we can't talk about Mando without talking about Baby Yoda. (Yes, nerds, we know he's called The Child, and that Baby Yoda isn't his name. Or is it?)

Now come and listen to our conversation all about why The Mandalorian is the best Star Wars in years.

Welcome to Utah Remote-Con 2020! This was our first panel of the convention. We kick things off with a bang as we look back on the Fast and Furious franchise and look forward to the future. From the original film through Hobbs and Shaw, all your favorites are here.

This panel was moderated by Steve and Izzy from Everything I learned from Movies Podcast, and included as panelists Val Cameron from Movies That Make Us and Multiplane Podcasts, Craig Price from Matinee Heroes, Be Fuller of SLCNerd, and Robert Neal.

The panel discusses some of the highlights of the series, some of their personal favorite moments, favorite films, and maybe even some of the stinkers. In addition, the team discusses the future of the Fast and Furious franchise. Will FF beat Mission Impossible to space? Clearly, this is the most important space race in the history of the world.

Utah Remote-Con 2020 was a virtual pop culture convention focused on panels that occurred September 7-September 12, 2020. The panels were free to view live on YouTube and Facebook. The hope was to get together and discuss geeky and nerdy topics throughout the week and have fun, as well as helping to raise money for a good cause. The charity we chose to focus on for this convention was the American Cancer Society. Thanks to generous donations from those that attended the panels and enjoyed the show, we were able to raise $2,890 for the fight against cancer. 

Over the coming weeks, we will be adding these panels to our Stolendroids Podcast feed to be enjoyed wherever you listen to podcasts. In addition, you can subscribe to our Stolendroids YouTube channel and relive every fun and entertaining moment of our first Utah Remote-Con.

Utah Remote-Con will return March 8-March 13, 2021 with Utah Remote-Con 2!

The 2020 Emmy nominees have been announced, and we have some thoughts. In fact, some people (Jake) might even say we have some hot takes. Of course, the hot takes aren't really pertinent to the Emmys, but when has that ever stopped us?

Also, Collin hates Dustin from Stranger Things. This means that he also hates everything good in this world. Let him know why he's wrong on our social media pages.

Every now and then you learn that one of your friends hasn't watched a movie or a TV show that you absolutely love. You may feel shocked, dismayed, or even betrayed. That's what recently happened when the Stolendroids team realized that Zohner has never seen Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It was at that moment that it was decided that this wrong must be righted. This episode is the result.

What TV shows do you love that have flown under someone else's radar? Let us know because this was a fun show that we'd like to do again. Obviously, though, we need another topic so send us your thoughts in the comments, on social media, or at [email protected]!
