Podcasts about Blockbuster

Fast and Furious Franchising charts the transformation of Hollywood through the story of one of its most successful cinematic universes. Released in 2001, The Fast and the Furious became an unexpected hit, developing into a seven-billion-dollar media franchise with nine direct sequels (so far), one “sidequel,” copious spin-offs, and licensing deals from board games to theme park rides. In Fast and Furious Franchising: How the Serialized Blockbuster Remade Hollywood (U Minnesota Press, 2026), Dr. Dan Hassler-Forest shows how Fast and Furious paved the way for a new form of serialized storytelling that balanced new distribution practices and expansion into international markets with a savvy awareness of representational politics. By following the series's development over the past twenty-five years, Fast and Furious Franchising reveals distinct phases that reflect larger media-industrial trends: the postclassical blockbuster era of the early 2000s; the emergence of the megafranchise between 2008 and 2014; the franchise's “imperial” era, from 2015 through 2019; and the postpandemic crisis era of media saturation and franchise fatigue. While examining this rapidly changing media landscape, Dr. Hassler-Forest offers lively, insightful analyses of the films as they have embraced ever-more-ludicrous plots and unlikely character turns while always maintaining their signature faith in the power of family. As he illuminates the role of the Fast and Furious movies in the global entertainment industry, Dr. Hassler-Forest shows how the films' improbable success proves Dominic Toretto's adage that, whether “you win by an inch or a mile . . . winning's winning.” This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtroom drama unfold like a blockbuster thriller, but here we are in mid-February 2026, and President Donald Trump's legal battles are heating up faster than a Florida summer. Just two days ago, on February 11, a judge in Miami made waves by greenlighting Trump's massive $10 billion libel lawsuit against the BBC. Picture this: the Wilkie D. Ferguson, Jr. U.S. Courthouse at 400 North Miami Avenue, where Judge Roy K. Altman set a trial date for February 15, 2027. Trump accuses the BBC's Panorama documentary—aired right before the 2024 election—of doctored editing. They spliced clips from his January 6, 2021, speech at the Ellipse, making it sound like he said, "We're going to walk down to the Capitol... and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell." According to court documents from the US District Court Southern District of Florida, Trump's lawyers call it "false and defamatory," claiming the BBC maliciously misled viewers worldwide. The leak of a memo from Michael Prescott, the BBC's former external adviser, fueled the fire, pointing to bias in that episode. BBC chair Samir Shah admitted an "error of judgement" but insists there's no defamation case. The BBC's fighting back hard, arguing the Florida court lacks jurisdiction since they didn't produce or air the show there—despite Trump pointing to BritBox streaming. A BBC spokesperson told The Independent they're defending vigorously and won't comment further. Trump's no stranger to media suits; he's already tangling with The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.But that's just the appetizer. Shift to the Supreme Court, where whispers of bigger clashes are building. SCOTUSblog reports the justices are eyeing Trump-related heavyweights for their April session, including immigration tweaks, Fourth Amendment fights, and even claims against companies aiding torture. A News4JAX segment from late January flags 2026 as the real showdown year: will the court let Trump reshape birthright citizenship via executive order? Chief Justice John Roberts has been subtly defending judicial independence, hinting at history over politics. Cases like the Federal Reserve governor dismissal—tied to alleged mortgage fraud claims—are bubbling up, with the court skeptical of quick removals without full hearings. Then there's the mass detention policy upheld by the 5th Circuit, but federal judges are finding workarounds, per Politico. The Brennan Center tracks three active prosecutions against Trump from his pre-presidency days: the federal election interference case in Washington, D.C., the Georgia Fulton County probe, and the classified documents mess in Florida—plus that New York hush money conviction from May 2024. Lawfare's litigation tracker notes ongoing appeals, like vacating Trump's executive orders.As a guy who's followed this rollercoaster since the 2024 win, it feels like the judiciary's drawing a line in the sand during Trump's second term—midterms looming, no re-election bid, courts bolder. The BBC trial's a year out, but Supreme Court arguments kick off February 23, with more on February 20. Will tariffs, citizenship, or Fed power test the limits? Buckle up, listeners; the gavel's about to drop.Thanks for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

Episode 143 ist da: Super Bowl LX Review mit Dominik

This week, the boys jump aboard the Andrea Gail for The Perfect Storm 2000 Review, the Wolfgang Petersen disaster epic that tried to answer one simple question:What if Mother Nature just decided you were finished?It's a Monday night. You've done your research.You head down past Burleigh, just west of Palm Beach. Three chairs are waiting. Gow's checking stats, Damo's preparing the Snorbs Report, and Whitey's tweaking the levels.Game time.Based on the true story of a sword-fishing crew who sailed directly into a once-in-a-lifetime weather system, the film brings together an all-star cast, George Clooney, Mark Wahlberg, John C. Reilly, Diane Lane and a collection of "hey-that-guy!" actors, but the real star might just be the ocean itself.Whitey is deep in his Clooney phase and openly declares him possibly "the most handsome man we've ever reviewed," while Gow and Damo debate whether the movie actually needs characters at all once the waves hit 100 feet. Because this is Born to Watch, the conversation doesn't stay serious for long.We cover:The legendary boat-on-the-wave shotWhy every sea captain is basically Captain AhabThe world's worst job (professional fisherman easily makes the grand final)Mark Wahlberg's historically patchy beardThe glow-stick responsibilities aboard a fishing vesselWhether the crew should've just sailed to Portugal insteadThe boys also dig into the film's strange structure. Half character drama, half disaster movie, half weather documentary, and somehow still compelling once the storm begins. Even critics admitted the storytelling problems stop mattering once the chaos kicks in. There's praise for the James Horner score, debate about the true events versus movie invention, and an unexpected emotional reaction to the funeral scenes. Plus:The 2000 Movie Lottery (Remember the Titans vs Bring It On vs The Cell)Box office success vs critic ratingsThe Snores Report returnsMichael Ironside is officially considered for Born to Watch RoyaltyAnd of course, the most important question of all:If you knew the storm was coming… would you still turn the boat around for the payday?Because sometimes the scariest part of a disaster movie isn't the wave, it's the decision that leads to it.JOIN THE CREWIf you enjoyed the episode, don't just listen, become part of the Born to Watch community.

Netflix shouldn't have survived.In 1997, Blockbuster owned home entertainment—9,000 stores, a business fueled by late fees, and a brand that felt untouchable. Netflix was a scrappy DVD-by-mail experiment that almost sold itself off to stay alive.So how did Netflix win?In this conversation, Reed Hastings breaks down the behind-the-scenes decisions that helped the business thrive: the uncomfortable leadership choices, the culture blueprint that surprised corporate America, and a near-catastrophic misstep that could have blown the whole thing up.Reed also talks about what shaped him long before Netflix: being a late-bloomer, teaching in the Peace Corps, learning humility from a former boss, and the painful management mistakes he made while building his first company.This is a masterclass in: challenging the status quo, choosing a culture on purpose, and making big bets without pretending you're always right.What you'll learn: Why Netflix's early “obvious” advantages weren't enough—and how close it came to dyingThe leadership lesson Reed learned from a CEO who was admirable… but strategically wrongWhy Reed says the best companies are like championship sports teams: if you can't perform at peak, leaveThe “keeper test” and how it changed corporate cultureThe Qwikster fiasco: what went wrong, and how Netflix moved to prevent future misstepsBuilding a House of Cards: How Netflix made the leap to original contentReed on the media landscape: The remote-control moment of truth, rival streamers, and the rise of AITimestamps:00:08:06 — “I was a late bloomer.” Reed on why no one saw greatness coming00:09:30 — Peace Corps in Swaziland, and the moment he nearly quit00:11:23 — An unforgettable lesson learned from the CEO who washed Reed's coffee cups00:14:39 — Building his first company in a cold cabin—no internet, just obsession and proof of concept00:16:48 — Reed's early struggles as a manager: “Too busy chopping wood to sharpen the axe.”00:24:11 — Blockbuster's late-fee pain and an early bet on DVDs00:44:47 — The dot-com crash… and the $50M LVMH round that saved Netflix (barely)00:47:12 — A possible Blockbuster buyout: “We probably would've taken any offer.”00:56:18 — The Netflix culture deck: “We're not a family,” and why that shook people up01:05:07 — The Qwikster crisis, and the backlash that humbled Reed01:19:33 — The competition: Netflix is just

Elie Y. Katz, Founder, President & CEO of National Retail Solutions (NRS), joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, for a wide-ranging conversation about what's changing right now for independent convenience stores—and why technology partners should be paying attention. Katz opened with a candid, real-world story from home that set the tone for the episode: small-business life is relentless, unpredictable, and personal. “I'm here, ready to roll… and tell them about National Retail Solutions and how we could help them make more money and put more money in their pocket,” he said—framing NRS as both a technology provider and a support system for business owners who are often juggling everything themselves. NRS serves the “onesies, twosies” of retail: independent convenience stores, bodegas, and similar single-operator businesses. Katz said NRS has deployed more than 40,000 point-of-sale registers across the U.S., supporting stores that compete daily against national chains with far deeper resources. The discussion highlighted how these stores—often located at street level in dense neighborhoods—are increasingly becoming the preferred option for shoppers who want convenience, familiarity, and a sense of safety. A key theme was how consumer behavior shifts can quickly reshape revenue. Katz noted that many NRS-supported stores are seeing strong growth in e-commerce and delivery, enabled by POS integrations that connect store inventories to their own websites and to marketplaces like DoorDash and Grubhub. In his view, this is a repeatable pattern: during COVID, convenience stores went from shutdown panic to becoming essential community hubs, and those that embraced digital ordering surged. “The ones that were smart enough to be hooked into online ordering and the marketplaces… they thrived,” Katz said. Green and Katz also explored what Katz called a “quiet revolution” inside these neighborhood businesses—moving from cash-first operations to modern payment methods, loyalty programs, and digitally enabled workflows. Katz argued that the next generation of customers expects to order, pay, and interact through mobile experiences, and retailers that resist change risk getting left behind. “If you don't want to embrace the technology… you're going to wake up like Blockbuster, Kodak, Yahoo,” he warned. The conversation also covered safety and risk reduction, especially for stores operating in high-crime environments. Katz pointed to a patented feature built into NRS registers: a “panic alarm” workflow that can silently alert police in the event of a robbery while opening the cash drawer to comply with demands. “We have a patented alarm system embedded in our point of sale register… the drawer opens up and a silent alarm goes to the police department,” he said. Beyond POS, Katz positioned NRS as a broader financial and operational services provider for small businesses, including credit card processing, cash advance services to help with cash flow, and payroll services. His message to the channel was direct: technology resellers already have trusted relationships with Main Street businesses, and those relationships can translate into new revenue streams. “They're leaving money on the table by not taking advantage of the fact that they're trusted already by their customer,” Katz said. Finally, Katz emphasized that NRS wraps these capabilities with what he described as “white glove, back-of-house assistance,” helping store owners navigate programs, compliance issues, and operational setup—critical for owners who are often, as he put it, “the employee of the month, the pot washer, the HR person, head of legal, head of purchasing.” To learn more, visit https://nrsplus.com/. Katz also noted there is a “contact the CEO” option at the bottom of the site for direct outreach.

Pour one out for Eddie Bauer, because today's daily comedy podcast starts with the official death of yet another mall staple — and immediately spirals into a full-blown nostalgia spiral that only The Rizzuto Show could pull off. What starts as bad news for quilted jackets turns into an emotional support group for anyone who ever owned an Eddie Bauer Bronco, Explorer, or vest their dad still refuses to throw away.From there, the crew goes deep into the archives of dead retail dreams. Blockbuster. Borders. KB Toys. Gadzooks. Sam Goody. Tower Records. Crestwood Mall (but ONLY the correct year). Everyone has a store they'd resurrect if given the chance, and the list keeps growing until it becomes painfully clear that malls didn't die — we just stopped going. Mostly because now we can buy everything online while wearing sweatpants and avoiding eye contact.Then things get darker. Way darker. The show reacts in real time to shocking news out of Branson involving a once-famous magician duo now facing serious federal charges. It's uncomfortable, infuriating, and handled the only way this daily comedy show knows how — honest reactions, zero tolerance, and immediate career-ending “ta-da.”Thankfully, the mood rebounds with actual good news (we know, weird): America's life expectancy just hit an all-time high. The crew debates what that means, who's optimistic, who's pessimistic, and whether eating garbage fast food within 100 yards of your house might be holding us back as a nation. Spoiler: it is.But criminals aren't done stealing the spotlight. High-tech thieves are now planting hidden cameras in shrubs to case houses, cloning key fobs to steal luxury vehicles, and proving once again that crime is apparently a tech startup now. The gang swaps personal horror stories about lost keys, cloned cars, and the terrifying realization that someone may have broken into a vehicle… and left because they couldn't drive stick.We wrap with scam text warnings, why replying “STOP” is a trap, and one absolutely unhinged car wash story involving a man who tried to enter through the exit like rules are optional suggestions. All of it adds up to another beautifully chaotic daily comedy show where the news is weird, the nostalgia hurts, and no one should ever trust a magician again.Branson magicians accused of sexual exploitation of childrenBurglars planting hidden cameras to scout Bay Area homesN.J. auto theft ring stole "millions of dollars worth" of vehicles, used Bronx garages as showroomsNEVER respond to junk or spam text messagesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome back to The Rizzuto Show, the daily comedy show that asks the important questions — like what genre is your life, why are all malls dying, and how did a World War I artillery shell end up in a man's body?The crew kicks things off by breaking down life as a movie genre. Is Rizz living a straight-up comedy? Is Lern trapped in a rom-com she didn't audition for? Is Moon starring in an action movie with jokes sprinkled in? And is Scott legally obligated to live inside a spaghetti western forever? Spoiler: Rafe's life may be a psychological thriller directed by someone who should not be allowed near a camera.From there, the show takes a nostalgic (and slightly depressing) turn as Eddie Bauer officially joins the retail graveyard. The gang runs through dead mall staples like Borders, Blockbuster, KB Toys, Gadzooks, Sports Authority, and basically your entire childhood. Crestwood Mall gets a full eulogy, Mid Rivers Mall gets absolutely roasted, and everyone agrees: online shopping killed the food court vibes.Then it's Super Bowl chaos. Kid Rock vs. Bad Bunny, alternative halftime shows, cultural representation, and why people are still mad about Maroon 5 years later. The crew also ranks the worst halftime performances of all time, and yes — Adam Levine's shirt removal is still haunting America.In news you didn't know you needed, February is statistically the safest month to not get punched in the face. Science says cold weather equals fewer fights, which leads to personal punch histories, parking-lot ego confessions, and a shocking chair-throwing fail from Australia where a guy absolutely destroys his own friend instead of a bouncer.And just when you think it can't get more unhinged, doctors in France discover a World War I shell inside a patient, triggering a hospital evacuation and a bomb squad visit no one wanted. It's a public service announcement wrapped in a cautionary tale wrapped in “please stop putting stuff there.”The episode also dives into rising U.S. life expectancy (good news!), Branson magician crime headlines (very bad news), and a man attempting to spend an entire year locked in one room to “get healthy,” which the crew debates is either inspiring discipline or a live-streamed mental breakdown.It's another daily comedy show episode that somehow educates, horrifies, and entertains — often at the same time. Laugh, cringe, and maybe stay indoors this February… for your face.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshowConnect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MOAustralian man is hit with flying chair thrown by his friend outside strip clubFrenchman hospitalized after inserting WWI munition up his rearMan Has Locked Himself in a Room for 365 Days to Improve His Health — and Is Now Livestreaming His 'Isolation Year' 24/7106-year-old retailer closing US stores in Chapter 11 bankruptcySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Boogie Nights 1997 Review: 200 episodes in, and Born to Watch hits a milestone with a film that feels weirdly, uncomfortably autobiographical.From the moment Whitey declares this the perfect way to celebrate the show's 200th episode, it's clear this isn't just another movie review. Boogie Nights is loud, chaotic, hilarious, messy, strangely heartfelt and absolutely stacked with characters who think they're on top of the world until reality comes crashing in. In other words, it's the ideal Born to Watch film.Set against the late-70s and early-80s adult film industry, Paul Thomas Anderson's second feature is a sprawling ensemble piece that follows the rise and fall of Eddie Adams, reborn as Dirk Diggler. Mark Wahlberg's breakout performance anchors the film, but this is never just Dirk's story. It's about a group of outsiders who form a surrogate family, chasing success, validation and meaning, until excess, ego and changing times pull them apart.The boys dig into the idea that Boogie Nights is really two films stitched together, the euphoric disco-soaked rise of the 70s, followed by the darker, cocaine-fuelled collapse of the 80s. It's a tonal shift that mirrors the characters' journeys, from optimism and community to paranoia, loneliness and self-destruction. When Little Bill exits the film, everything changes, and the show explores how that moment symbolises the end of innocence for the entire group.There's plenty of love for the ensemble cast. Burt Reynolds' Jack Horner is discussed as both mentor and flawed father figure, a man clinging to an artistic vision while the industry evolves without him. Julianne Moore's Amber Waves is heartbreaking and layered, especially when the conversation turns to her custody battle and the illusion of freedom within the industry. John C Reilly, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Don Cheadle, Heather Graham and William H Macy all get their flowers, with Hoffman's painfully awkward Scotty and Macy's tragic Little Bill standing out as performances that linger long after the credits roll.As always, the Born to Watch humour cuts through the heavy themes. There's banter, self-reflection, side-tracking, and more than a few laughs at the absurdity of certain scenes, including the legendary Alfred Molina drug-deal sequence, which the team agrees is one of the most anxiety-inducing moments PTA has ever put on screen.The episode also looks at Boogie Nights in context, how it landed in 1997 alongside juggernauts like Titanic and LA Confidential, why it underperformed at the box office, and how it grew into a cult classic that feels even richer with repeat viewings. It's a film you can dip in and out of, catch individual scenes, and still be completely absorbed.Ultimately, this Boogie Nights 1997 Review becomes a celebration, not just of the film, but of the journey Born to Watch has been on for 200 episodes. It's messy, honest, occasionally inappropriate, and full of love for movies that take big swings.And really, what better way to celebrate than strapping on the roller skates and heading back to the Valley?BORN TO WATCH – JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Boogie Nights Paul Thomas Anderson's most rewatchable film?Does the movie completely change once the 80s arrive?Which character hits hardest on a rewatch?Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or at BornToWatch.com.au#BornToWatch #BoogieNights #PTA #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #CultCinema #1990sMovies #MovieReview #PodcastLife #200Episodes

Send us a textIf 3 percent of your customers drive 60 percent of your revenue, how much of your budget do they actually get? We open the hood on the equipment industry's quiet math—where rental term length dictates margin, customer concentration drives fragility, and blended sales-rental models bleed value. With Nick Mavrick, we connect dots from Wayne Huizenga's roll-ups and Blockbuster's rental logic to today's Sunbelt and United advantage, then show how dealers can counter with focus, clean data, and local execution that wins loyalty for years.We dig into Volvo Rents as a case study in structure: why franchising empowered local operators to target the 15 accounts that move the needle, and how financing allure pulled in owners without the operating muscle to sustain performance. We explain why sales and rental need separate P&Ls, leadership, and incentives; how average rental term becomes a profit engine; and why national accounts can't be ceded to rental oligarchs when coordinated regional dealer execution can compete. Along the way, we challenge the myth of the normal distribution and replace it with the power law you already feel in your numbers.Then we get practical. Define your top 100 must-win accounts and the next 100 rising stars. Reallocate spend from the long tail to the core. Build lifecycle intelligence by model—parts and service per hour, expected life, resale value—and use real machine population by brand to guide outreach. Establish a single source of truth before layering AI to accelerate insights. The goal isn't to copy the giants; it's to out-serve them where you live, with fast decisions, clear promises, and people who know customers by name.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague who needs a sharper plan, and leave a review to help more operators find these conversations.

TCW Podcast Episode 251 - Virgin Games   As a companion piece to our Mastertronic episode, we look at the rise and fall of Virgin Games. Beginning with Richard Branson's mail-order record business and the success of Virgin Records, the company expanded into games under executive Nick Alexander, whose interest in the industry led to the creation of a Virgin gaming subsidiary. Early successes included the Dan Dare series and computer adaptations of board games. In 1987 Virgin took a stake in Mastertronic, and in 1988 fully acquired the company, gaining both its budget software business and its role in the SEGA Master System launch. From there Virgin Games developed into two distinct arms. In Europe, the company focused on distribution, bringing major publishers and licenses into the region. In the United States, Virgin built on Mastertronic's development studio, centering on strong talent and overlooked licenses, producing titles such as Spot, Cool Spot, Global Gladiators, and later major Disney games including Aladdin and The Lion King. On PC, the company found success with The 7th Guest and through the acquisition of Westwood Studios, gaining Command and Conquer. Virgin Games also had a hand in publishing Dune and Dune II. In the mid-1990s the Virgin Group began seeking a buyer, leading to Blockbuster's acquisition of Virgin Interactive, which soon placed the company under Viacom following the Paramount merger. Heavy corporate debt and shifting priorities resulted in the sale of Westwood to Electronic Arts. What remained was largely a European distribution business that later entered an agreement with Interplay and was ultimately acquired by Titus Interactive. After the collapse of the dot-com bubble, mounting debt forced Titus to shutter the company, and in 2005 Virgin Interactive quietly disappeared   TCW 105 - The Big Voice of Magnavox: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-big-voice-of-magnavox/ TCW 106 - The Small Voice of Magnavox: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-small-voice-of-magnavox/ TCW 026 - The Magnavox Odyssey: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-magnavox-odyssey/ TCW 027 - The Magnavox Patent Lawsuits: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-magnavox-patent-lawsuits-friday-september-16-2016-1003-am/ Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (Live BBC 1973): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbYQYOM66MA Dan Dare - Pilot of the Future (ZX Spectrum): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vUEDOu5ewIQ Dan Dare II - Mekons` Revenge (ZX Spectrum): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Lheo_ao8K4 Dan Dare III - The Escape (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK62NSaE75s Monopoly - Virgin Games (DOS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=un6iagpCwWw Spot - The Video Game (NES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8Ezmf6z3kM 7-Up Spot Commercials: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubNTMHqz6_c TCW 229 - US Gold: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/us-gold/ TCW 023 - The Complete Tetris Story: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-complete-tetris-story/ Lure of the Temptress (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AwSS5zA74jQ Jimmy White's Whirlwind Snooker (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Pr3IsnqxGs Cannon Fodder (Amiga): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFP8WUrBVHc Previous High Scores C&C Ad: https://www.reddit.com/r/OldSchoolRidiculous/comments/x1k61n/could_you_even_imagine_if_westwood_studios/ Robin Hood Prince of Thieves (NES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_1AGDZiLVY Robin Hood Men in Tights - English Accent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9tEH7iWOyk Global Gladiators (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yy9_-iEdXAA Cool Spot (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTROI2ODRM4 Aladin (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngqx0rq7ACg The Jungle Book (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BivK2swrtqM Aladin (SNES): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9m2gAuWkOY The Lion King (Genesis): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-U4RObki-k TCW 194 - The 7th Guest: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-7th-guest/ The 7th Guest (PC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45Z-Q5KVTyI The Legend of Kyrandia: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FO6BE4HOjnM TCW 208 - Two Dunes the Battle for Arrakis: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/two-dunes-the-battle-for-arrakis/ TCW 082 - An Unlikely Pairing of Siliwood: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/an-unlikely-pairing-of-siliwood/ TCW 064 - The Rise and Fall of Infogrames Part 1: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/rise-and-fall-of-infogrames-part-1/ TCW 065 - The Rise and Fall of Infogrames Part 2: https://podcast.theycreateworlds.com/e/the-rise-and-fall-of-infogrames-part-2/   New episodes are on the 1st and 15th of every month!   TCW Email: feedback@theycreateworlds.com  Twitter: @tcwpodcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/theycreateworlds Alex's Video Game History Blog: http://videogamehistorian.wordpress.com Alex's book, published Dec 2019, is available at CRC Press and at major on-line retailers: http://bit.ly/TCWBOOK1     Intro Music: Josh Woodward - Airplane Mode -  Music - "Airplane Mode" by Josh Woodward.

Bruce Leroy joins us for a full-on 90s spiral — cartoons, toys, bad decisions, and the strange realization that we're all officially in different phases of life now. With birthdays looming (44, 47, and a “still-only-40”), we talk retirement dreams, food trucks, moving to the Philippines, and why there's no rush to have life figured out.Then we go deep on 90s culture: legendary cartoon intro music, Ninja Turtles vs. GI Joes, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, He-Man being a toy first, and the absolute chaos of Blockbuster nights (including bike theft and surprise movies behind the wrong case). We reminisce about Tamagotchis, Furbies, Pogs, fake candy cigarettes, and doing wildly dumb things as kids — like outrunning a chow named Bear and learning lessons the hard way.We also get into cancel culture, social media, being present at concerts, how posting habits change as we age, and whether the 90s were actually better — or just different. From Dewey Decimal research to today's information overload, from old-school video games building grit to modern attention spans shrinking, we try to make sense of what's gained and what's lost.It's nostalgia, life perspective, and a lot of laughs — plus a reminder that more money doesn't fix bad habits, not everyone has to win, and sometimes falling into a trash can saves your life.Cheers!m&t
