Episode #191: Weirdly Wonderful Movie Merch 1:29:51

22d ago1:29:51

1:29:51

After their recent news note regarding the (only MILDLY suggestive) Deadpool and Wolverine popcorn bucket, Saint and Jim got to thinking about what other off-the-wall movie tie-in goodies might approach that level of bizarre. So, they went looking. And the internet did what the internet do. Specifically, it revealed a completely nutso underbelly of…

Episode #190: Sci-Fi Tech We (Sorta) Wish We Had 1:45:20

1M ago1:45:20

1:45:20

One of the most fascinating aspects of speculative science fiction is the tech. Whatever creators can dream up, futurenauts can use. Teleporters! Time Travel! Fantastic weaponry! Wouldn't it be great if we actually had this stuff for real? Well, not so fast. Heroes of fiction are just that: heroes. So they only tend to use this stuff for mostly alt…

Episode #189: Are Movies Dead? 1:36:14

2M ago1:36:14

1:36:14

Hollywood is having a really difficult time as of late. It seems as tough for every "Barbie" or "Super Mario" that makes literally a billion dollars, there are a dozen flicks like "Furiosa" and "Garfield" that fall severely short in terms of critical reception and box office take. Movie theatres are suffering, studios are scrambling, and ultimately…

Episode #188: Abandoned Fandoms 1:44:00

1:44:00

Fandom is a powerful thing. Hey, this entire podcast is built around it. Even so, we've all experienced moments where we stopped fueling certain fandoms, and they just...run out of gas. Sometimes that's a decision. Whether it's a dip in quality, a creator who disappoints you or a shift in priorities, we all walk away from things about which we were…

Episode #187: Fighting Superhero Fatigue 1:23:46

2M ago1:23:46

1:23:46

There's no denying that the last couple of years have proven cape cinema to be not quite as bulletproof as the heroes on the screen. DC has been struggling with quality consistency, and even the once-foolproof Marvel has had some stumbles as of late. But can this be chalked up to (as critics have termed it) "superhero fatigue"? Or are there larger …

Some weeks are just heavier than others when it comes to all the goings-on that are good to geek out over, and this was definitely one of those. So hereabouts, Saint and Jim do a rundown of what's up in niche nerd news — albeit with a specialized focus on whatever fresh hell seems to be plaguing the video game world as of late. Layoffs, studio clos…

2M ago1:37:05

1:37:05

The range of human motivations is complex and layered — as is the spectrum of human emotion. Still, for years, our entertainment focused on some pretty binary archetypes. Specifically: mustache-twirling black-hatted villains, and square-jawed white-hatted heroes. But at some point, the creators of our entertainment decided to give fictional charact…

1:28:22

Iconic vehicles in entertainment is a uniquely western phenomenon, fueled by American "car culture" and a certain sense of gas-fueled adventure. Almost everyone who has ever seen a TV show or movie almost certainly has a favorite legendary ride that made them sit up and take notice, and maybe even wish they could borrow the keys for a joyride.

There are just so many amazing avenues of entertainment to be into these days, it can be hard to keep up. So admittedly, Saint and Jim have the odd blind spot when it comes to certain areas of fandom. One area in which they share somewhat of a collective question mark? Horror movies. So on today's episode of Fuel Your Fandom, the boys welcome Milwa…

3M ago1:41:08

1:41:08

Memory is a funny thing. Sometimes you'll hear a song, and it takes you right back to where you were the last time you heard it. Or maybe it's a scent — like baked goods, or a spring flower bloom — that makes your brain light up. But food-based nostalgia? That's a different animal entirely. If you eat something you haven't had in awhile, that can r…

Saint and Jim usually like to keep things light around the ol' Fuel Your Fandom...dom. Still, there's no arguing that a lot of people are dealing with a lot lately. When a cute Muppet asks an innocuous "How is everybody?" on social media, only to be deluged with people in genuine pain? It's apparent we're all just ambulatory bundles of raw nerves j…

Kids' entertainment has always leaned pretty heavily toward the fantastic. Not only do young people have the sort of imaginations required to really appreciate the impossible, but since so much of kids' TV and movies tends to be (either literally or figuratively) animated, it's a good medium to explore some out-there concepts. That said, there's a …

Saint and Jim still aren't sports fans, but they can't give up on the March Madness runoff just yet. Reason being, there's another friendly neighborhood superhero — one with a baddie bracket so big, it takes a whole separate universe just to hold them all. Of course, we're referring to Spider-Man.

Of all the things that it should be impossible to hurt yourself on, kids' toys should be the #1 item on the list.
