The day has finally arrived. Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory, the first official Kingdom Hearts rhythm title is finally releasing to the public on a number of platforms. You’ve played the games, but the music has moved you more than you’d ever thought. You’re taken back to a time where you played the original Kingdom Hearts title and nostalgia fills your being. Or, maybe you’ve only played a few titles in the series, opting for the bigger named Kingdom Hearts original, Kingdom Hearts 2, and most recently Kingdom Hearts 3. You’ve skirted the outskirts of the series for fear of the unknown, rumors of a too wide/vast or convoluted story, or you’d like to finally get into the series and a musical endeavor sounds right up your alley? Whatever the case may be, with the release of Melody of Memory we are continuing our HPCritical Podcast series of “What is it” In which we bring on guests and discuss in detail what a series is. Previously we’ve discussed the ins and outs of “What Is Fire Emblem,” and I’m more than excited to share part one of “What Is Kingdom Hearts.” This is a special episode as it features some prominent Kingdom Hearts fans including Chris Penwell and Cameron Hawkins, two prolific Kingdom Hearts fans joined by our very own Brandon Alvelo. We discuss what first introduced them to the series, what Kingdom Hearts is all about including its inception, and they answer all my questions about the series, we discuss characters, plot points, and what Kingdom Hearts is and what it means to them. If you’ve ever wanted to learn about Kingdom Hearts, now’s your chance. Here’s the first part of “What Is Kingdom hearts” so please enjoy and learn along with me the story of the magical video game that is Kingdom Hearts. Listen, learn, and stick around for part two. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hpcritical/support

After talking to himself for 55 minutes about Willy Wonka and it’s remake, Stefan finally talks Chris into politely discussing the five theatrical Pokémon movies and Detective Pikachu. Contrary to what the title suggests though, they never do the PokéRap. Y’know, because they’re adults with dignity and self-respect... I think...? Stefan also considers dragging Chris to a clinic to deal with his unresolved issues regarding the death of Chris Penwell. This doesn’t happen though because they’d rather talk about that guy from Van Wilder. No, not the one who worked for the Obama Administration. Will they finally end this stupid fucking plot-line? Maybe next episode, I dunno anymore. Will you, the audience, remember your childhood? Will you, the parents of said audience, remember that dark time in the late 90’s-early 2000’s when your obnoxious goddamn kids begged to see this opening weekend just to get a piece of paper thin cardboard with a prophetic symbol of capitalism glowing off of it?

Last week, the Sequel Decay boys confirmed the canonical passing of beloved recurring character, Chris Penwell. Unsure if they’d ever recover, Stefan and Brandon elected to take a break this week. But Chris Ranta, being the workaholic (and alcoholic) that he is, decided to run the show himself in an effort to see if he can do an episode that's under an hour. However, in his efforts, he discovered that his co-host this week is the ghost of Penwell! What a twist! Also, they talk about Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory and Charlie & the Chocolate Factory. It wasn't really a franchise, but Hollywood is developing a prequel, so it’s a fucking franchise now, I guess! Also, does it count as a twist that we're not talking about some cape-shit movie?

Unfortunately, Joseph Yaden couldn't join us as he is recovering. He'll be back next episode.

Chris Penwell joins Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan on a podcast that covers the bear necessities of The Jungle Book. Directed by Jon Favreau, this is a stacked voice cast helping to bring the animated Disney classic to life with CG wizardry and red flowers. Does it manage to justify remaking a classic, or did it just really want Bill Murray to play Balou? But before we get to a review of The Jungle Book, we have plenty of news to talk about. The Han Solo movie might finally have its Solo in Alden Ehrenreich (hear our podcast on Hail, Caesar! where Ehrenreich made his presence known to us, and read Dylan's review), Doctor Strange has a trailer that reminded us of Inception during moments, and we now have more reason to be excited for the Kingsman sequel with Channing Tatum being cast. Oh, and how about controversial topics like Scarlett Johansson playing an Asian character in the Ghost in the Shell movie, and AMC Theaters suggesting texting being allowed in cinemas? That's some nasty stuff to discuss right there. Chris went to a 35mm print screening of Pitch Black of the Riddick series, and Dylan watched an HBO documentary called Jim: The James Foley Story about a very controversial subject. So much controversy! Hear the podcast below and prepare for next week when we review Tom Tykwer's A Hologram for a King.

In the second episode of Film Fallout, Christopher Cross and Dylan Schwan talk about Deadpool's insane opening weekend box office, Daniel Craig's upcoming cable network show Purity, Bad Boys 3 is confirmed, and Star Wars Episode VIII has some new cast members attached to it. The Blu-Ray new releases are plentiful this week as well, with Black Mass and Steve Jobs headlining the week, along with Charlie Chaplin's The Kid coming to Criterion. Dylan explains why Horace and Pete is both hilarious and extremely interesting, and Chris watched Funny or Die's Donald Trump movie starring Johnny Depp. But most importantly, Chris Penwell joins the two as they talk in-depth about Marvel's Deadpool. An R-Rated superhero movie that is more about the comedy than action? And it made $150 million on its opening weekend? The three discuss how that could have happened with a movie that seemed to only be championed by its star Ryan Reynolds. Another important topic discussed is how Deadpool will affect the rest of Fox's superhero films -specifically their X-Men franchise.
