In this episode we talk about minute 66 of The NeverEnding Story:

Mike Carlucci is back for "another amazing minute" with these impressive storm clouds.

The plot makes Atreyu fall, and Bastian fights a window in the attic.

Thomas and Tierney took basically the same notes for this minute, but no one could foresee the amazing knee-hurting challenge that ensues among our hosts.

In this episode we talk about minute 65 of The NeverEnding Story:

Thomas and Tierney are joined by Mike Carlucci of Return to Oz Minute and he's NEVER SEEN this movie!

We have fun explaining that the flying dog isn't really a dog at all, that Bastian and Atreyu are two different kids, and talk special effects with our guest.

We also give a shout out to the sound editors even as a sound Thomas swears he heard causes controversy in the attic...

Sorry for the delay in getting out new episodes!

We had an issue with our hosting provider and had to switch. Because of this you may have downloaded old episodes again as if they were new, sorry! 

We should be returning to our regular publishing schedule now, so enjoy and be sure to leave us a review on iTunes.

In this episode we talk about minute 64 of The NeverEnding Story:

Atreyu and Falkor are soarin' over Fantasia for literally all of this minute.

Ralph from Cake Boss drops by one more time to sing for us and to ask the real questions: How is Falkor propelled to fly? Why wasn't there a spinoff movie with the Night Hob? And most importantly: What are you riding in a race across Fantasia?

In this episode we talk about minute 63 of The NeverEnding Story:

The Southern Oracle is destroyed (or is it?) but Atreyu is back on the quest and ready to find the boundaries of Fantasia with Falkor. If only either of them had any idea where those are...

In the studio we bid a fond farewell to the Bloobs, talk about awkward tonal shifts, and finally define our podcast rating by coining the term "80s PG".

In this episode we talk about minute 62 of The NeverEnding Story:

Forget diamonds: glitter is forever.

The Southern Oracle tells Atreyu the empress needs a new name and Tierney encourages audience participation when discussing art styles.

Thomas questions if this statue is made of cake while guest Ralph (of Cake Boss) explains Flavor Flav's contributions to the world of film.

In this episode we talk about minute 61 of The NeverEnding Story:

Atreyu passes through the Mirror Gate and sees the Southern Oracle... which looks *almost* exactly like the Sphinx Gate.

Ralph (@cakebossralph on Twitter) is back to introduce us to the concept of "bloobs" and tell us about the cartoon series, the sequels, and the awkwardness of knowing someone who looks like Atreyu in real life.

Warning for people uncomfortable with the idea of Steve Buscemi giving you a bath; for some reason that comes up starting at 20:30.

In this episode we talk about minute 60 of The NeverEnding Story:

Ralph from Cake Boss graces our podcast with his presence and gets schooled on the fact that librarians do still exist in the world.

After a staring contest with a book, Bastian gets down to some serious reading and totally safely lights many candles in the school attic.

Our tangent into X-Men and the casting choices of the tv show M*A*S*H really did start off naturally by discussing Bastian's possible mutant powers...

In this episode we talk about minute 59 of The NeverEnding Story:

Things have gone too far: Thomas's favorite song is being distorted, books are being thrown about in front of Tierney, and the snow is SO FAKE.

But at least we can all agree that Atreyu seeing Bastian in the mirror as his "true self" gives us a lot to talk about.

Rick and Julia travel one more time from the baking sun of Australia to the snowy tundra of Fantastia to debate the lessons of this movie.

In this episode we talk about minute 1 of The NeverEnding Story:

Rick and Julia of Mad Max Minute are back to watch Atreyu discover the Mirror Gate, talk about the trouble with navigating Fantasia, and witness Tierney dropping some book knowledge that blows Thomas's mind.

We also create one of our darkest theories yet for where this sudden blizzard came from.
