In this episode we take a look back on some of the Cinematic Universes we have discussed this past year. We’ll go into connections we may have missed, theories we may have left unexplored, and update you on any new developments to their canon. Is Raised by Wolves a Sequel to Alien? Is Fanboys a part of the View Askewniverse? And Finally, Is We Can Be Heroes the latest addition to The Tarantino and Rodriguez Movie-In-A-Movie Universe.
In our first annual Holiday Special, Canon Fodder takes you into the most merry and cheerful of Christmas movie universes...the Die Hard universe. Did you know that pretty much all of the Die Hard movies started as something completely different? John McClane could have been Frank Sinatra! And they've basically slapped the franchise tag on anything they could, including a sweet 90's arcade game. Take off your shoes, step into some broken glass, curl up in the air shaft, and welcome to the party!
To me, my X-Men! And all of the batshit continuity that comes with it! Possibly the most confusing movie universe ever put to screen, we dissect all of the inconsistencies, plotholes, and absurd retcons that is the X-men franchise. The good, the bad, and the flat out stupid.
Our first annual Halloween episode is here with none other than the Halloween universe; one of the most convoluted, absurd, and heavily retconned universes in all of cinema history.

Part 2 of our View Askewniverse segment is here and man, is there a LOT of fodder in this world. There's so much fodder that part two of our two-part series had to be recorded in TWO parts! So it's like part three, basically. Clerks: The Animated Series The Lost Scene Tusk Yoga Hosers Jersey Girl? Nah Snoogans
Look at these morose mother fuckers. Coming here to listen to podcasts based on fictional characters. Fic-tion-al. Is any of this getting through? Just a few Jersey boys talking about Jersey heroes while eating fictionalish Jersey cuisine from the Mooby's popup in Red Bank! Here's part 1 of our episode that covers the main movies of the View Askewniverse. Unlike our heroes, we ARE supposed to be here today.
The moment you've been waiting for is here! We go deep into the movies universes of Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez and where they maybe possibly sort of could be really definitely intersecting. What movie in movie? What's realer than REAL? We tell you all about it here!
You know Aliens. You know Predator. You know Aliens vs. Predator. But do you know Aliens vs Predator VS Bladerunner. You do now. You're welcome.
There are a lot of Terminator movies. Unfortunately most of them are bad. But thankfully most of them are also not in canon. Let's discuss!
Have you ever watched a movie and thought, hmmmm I recognize these characters? I've seen them in another movie. Does this movie take place in the same universe as that movie? We're here to tell you that...maybe. What's in continuity? What's not? What could have been? And what is simply...Canon Fodder.
