    It’s the debate of the century: Busch Gardens vs Animal Kingdom. Indiana Jones has an iconic theme from John Williams but how does it stack up compared to the best theme songs? Somehow we get talking about the 2019 horror film Cats so enjoy that. Sequels and reboots… they are everywhere but which ones are good and which ones suck? All that randomness and more on this week's episode centered around the Steven Spielberg classic.

    This episode features the second-ever guest on the podcast, Jayson Roach! He is the Founder/Director of Ripplify Media and the host of the StoryTrack Podcast. The classic Disney animated film The Lion King (1994) is the basis for discussion. Jayson says that this is his favorite movie of all time and clearly shows the passion he has for it. The guys cover everything from the iconic songs and characters to the 2019 remake. Is it okay that Disney is just slowly taking over the world? Is there any voice actor that you would give your Kidney to meet? Do the economic and governmental structures of the pride lands make sense? We have answers to all of those questions… maybe.

    Peyton, Connor and Joe kick off Season 3 of The Act Four Podcast! The next 12 episodes will cover what the guys have decided are all-time classics. Episode one covers the Robert Zemeckis film Back to the Future (1985). Marty’s mom is super creepy and no one really knows how to react to her advances toward her own son. John Mulaney thinks this is a “very weird movie” and Joe apparently didn’t know that Bill is a common nickname of people named William. It’s fun to be back talking movies again and this is just the beginning of what should hopefully be a fun season.
