The Cereal Show episodes:

February 02, 2021Movie Review - Fantastic Mr. Fox
What’s the opposite of Star Wars? Probably something like the movie we discuss in this week’s episode! Changing things up a bit we dive into the world of Wes Anderson. Is it The Cereal Show’s cup of tea or does it get a hard pass? (let’s just hope it gets higher than a 6.8) Also, what’s up with the wolf? You’ll just have to listen to find out.

November 04, 2020 Movie Review - I Am Mother
In today’s episode, we have on a guest we’ve had before, Drayton. But we’re not talking about Tesla’s battery day this time, no instead we have our very first movie review on the Cereal Show! This is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time, but how do you pick what movie to do first? Well, we didn’t have to pick, Quinn’s patience did that for us. For 9 months he’s been asking Seth to watch this movie, and finally, finally, Seth got around to doing it. So in this episode Seth, Quinn and Drayton discuss the Netflix darling, I am mother.
