The Cereal Show episodes

  • Movie 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.

      It’s been a while since our last interview!

    • Movie Review - Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

      There’s nothing more peaceful than dissecting a much loved Star Wars movie… right? In today’s episode, we do exactly that, sharing our thoughts on Rogue One. From Darth Vader inspiring fear to 13th-century chant Dies Irae, Chekhov’s Gun, K-2SO, and you guys!

            We have a bit of a shorter episode with this one, discussing Tesla’s almost 500,000 cars delivered in 2020, Musk the world’s new richest man, Apple’s rumoured iFold, and that some people are finding their Apple AirPods Max’s double as swimming pools.

          • Movie Review - The Emperor’s New Groove
            In today’s episode, Quinn, Seth, and Drayton talk about a movie that on the surface seems quite innocent, but proves to be quite divisive, it’s The Emperor’s New Groove. From plot structure, character arcs, and themes to Kronk’s one-liners, we explore every bit of this movie. And perhaps Quinn and Drayton want to turn Seth into a llama by the end of it, you’ll just have to find out.

          • 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.
