#531 - The Jackass Forever Trailer, Loki - Season 1, and Black Widow

We kick things off this week with some listener mail! Specifically, the emails we answered last week but had to cut out of a pretty-lengthy recording session! You know what that means - BONUS RAY HARRINGTON! WOO! Chuck and I then wax ecstatic about the trailer for Jackass Forever. We talk about our relationship with Jackass over the past twenty-two(?) years. We then offer our spoiler-free thoughts on the season of Loki on Disney Plus, then our spoiler-free thoughts on Black Widow. We then make it very clear that we are going into spoiler territory and talk about Black Widow, then close out with our spoiler-ful takes on Loki. Whew! - Brad

#530 - Space Jam 2 + We Pitch Our Own Pop Culture Mash-Up Movie Ideas

This week on the podcast, Ray Harrington joins us to talk about the gigantic Warner Bros. commercial that is Space Jam: A New Legacy!
We discuss how movies like this came to be, the concept of pop culture mash-ups (or "IP mash-ups"), the history of this phenomenon, and the future of making movies based on bringing known characters together.
We close the show with our segment "Pitch Doctors," where we each pitch our OWN ideas for pop culture mash-up movies, including our favorite franchises and characters (Back to the Future, Ducktales, The Peanuts, The Fast and the Furious, the Ninja Turtles, Scooby Doo and MANY more are all in play)!

After a disgusting discovery about our spam filter, we jump right into the past few weeks of adventures.
