Because variety is the spice of life, we invited Dave and Casey along for todays ride! Yes there are some news topics to talk through (including PulseCon reveals) but it's the review you've all been waiting for: TMNT Mutant Mayhem. Made slightly trickier by the fact Casey hasn't seen it, but that doesn't stop us from having a good time! What did the Turtles fan-boys in the room all think? But most curiously, what did the renowned Turtles hater Producer Scot have to say about it? Next weeks ep will also be a true cross-over with the loveable duo, but done in DVG stylings so consider yourself naughty word pre-warned!Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on the Toy Power Podcast, we are joined by a Spin Master Gab! With our regular get-to-know-you questions out of the way; we move onto our main topic around Raffles, Waffles, Razz or whatever name it takes, to fly under the social media guidelines. So what is a Waffle? (Cause Scotty doesn't know!) What does it take to make a successful Raffle? What doesn't work too is quite interesting too! Then we spin the discussion around; and touch base on what sub-category of the TMNT Franchise is Gab into the most? How does such a huge TMNT fan like Gab focus his collecting habits too? Overall, this was an intriguing conversation on many levels. Enjoy.Support the show: http://patreon.com/toypowerpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ήταν μία προσωπική διαμάχη που προκάλεσε έναν στουντιακό πόλεμο, με κάποια από τα πιο υπερσύγχρονα οικονομικά όπλα που δεν είχαμε ξαναδεί ως τότε: τα ]μυρμήγκια κινούμενων σχεδίων. Κοιτάξτε, το 1998 ήταν μία άλλη εποχή.Εικοσιπέντε χρόνια αργότερα, η σκληρή μάχη μεταξύ του A Bug's Life από την Pixar και του Antz από τη Dreamworks, δύο εντυπωσιακά παρόμοιες ταινίες για μυρμήγκια που αψηφούν τον κίνδυνο για να σώσουν τις αποικίες τους, μοιάζει ξεχασμένη. Τότε όμως τα στούντιο παραγωγής τους βρίσκονταν σε έναν πόλεμο εγωισμών που οδήγησε τελικά τις ταινίες στο να κυκλοφορήσουν με μόλις 49 ημέρες διαφορά. Άξιζε;Το POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες συνεχίζει το VERSUS καλοκαιρινό του αφιέρωμα για παρόμοιες ταινίες που έδωσαν τη μάχη τους στο σινεμά την ίδια χρονιά, και αυτή τη φορά θυμόμαστε το Antz vs. A Bug's Life σκηνικό που προκάλεσε (ακόμα μεγαλύτερη) ρήξη μεταξύ της Pixar και της Dreamworks.Πώς γεννήθηκε η αρχική ιδέα, τι έγινε στο διάσημο lunch της Pixar, τι κόντρα είχε το μεγάλο κεφάλι της Dreamworks με την Pixar, και ποιο τηλεφώνημα λέει ο θρύλος πως έκανε τα πάντα ακόμα χειρότερα στις σχέσεις των δύο εταιρειών; Κοιτάμε επίσης πίσω στην έμφαση που έδινε η Dreamworks στα all-star καστ της, στον δρόμο που χάραζε η Pixar μετά το Toy Story, και στο πόσο, πόσο συντριπτικά άσχημο είναι το CGI των δύο ταινιών. Και τελικά, πόσα εκατομμύρια κοστίζει ο ανδρικός εγωισμός;Αυτά και πολλά περισσότερα στο VERSUS του POP για τις Δύσκολες Ώρες αυτής της εβδομάδας!
On the first ever video episode for Latter-day Takes, Andrew Young joins the podcast to talk about his experiences at Dreamworks and how there is an open agenda by the studios (Disney, Pixar, etc.) to "social engineer" children to think a certain way. Specifically attacking families, religion, tradition, etc. Andrew gives examples which is what makes the video necessary. We are also joined by Dr. Steve Holiday, a children and media researcher at the University of Alabama who provides amazing insights based on media consumption by children that he has personally researched.

When Nico and Kevo first agreed to join this week's SPECIAL GUESTS Joey Lewandowski (@soulpopped) & Joe Two (@JoeyDe_) on their 2 Fast 2 Forever (@2Fast2Forever) series, they weren't quite sure what they were getting themselves into. The combined total of the Fast & Furious franchise, including all of the films AND the Dreamworks animated series, certainly inspires a lot of conversation - which can be found over on the 2f2f channel! And it's why the Action Pack wanted to invite the Joes over to our show this time as we once again get behind the wheel with Fast X, aka Fast & Furious 10, the tenth narrative installment and eleventh overall film in the seriously speedy franchise. We'll discuss the highs of Brie Larson's heel spikes and Rita Moreno's sheer existence, we'll discuss the lows of child recasting and mismanaged music cues, but in the end - it's all about family.
This week on the Toy Power Podcast, its another full on News session; as we kick it off with a chat about the new Star Wars Asoka Show - what are we missing? Then it genuinely seems that Todd McFarlane himself has filled our Runsheet with his upcoming reveals and announcements! But can you believe that we are discussing more characters, from the DC Universe, than just Batman himself! Yes, its a pretty cool mix... with some Batman too of course. Then we move over to some really neat news from Ramen Toys. Ace, announces a new Diorama set in the works plus a bomb shell statement on who has the rights for a certain 80's property.... Then in rounding out the episode, we circle back to a Question initially put forward by Master Fresh; of which - What is the great toy lie you are telling yourself this year? Whilst we attempt to recall our initial answers to that question from 6months ago; we mostly seem to have all but broken the rules; except for Frank. Well done sir! All this and more!

Last week's movie raised the question “Was everybody Kung Fu Fighting?” Well, this week, a 2011 . . . tribute/homage/why-god-why film mumbles the question “Yeah, and was everybody Tae Kwan Do fighting, too? I mean, they might have been! I guess . . .” Like the DreamWorks film, this movie(?) features a Panda and martial … Continue reading "Episode 255 – Chop Kick Panda (2011)"
Davey sticks around and is here to carry the show as we delve into the world of 80s cartoons. Ready your sugar-high cereal, blanket and remote-less TV as we prepare to park it on the shag-pile brown carpet and relive our favourites. Which cartoon had too much singing in it? Best intro? Best voice and music? Is Scot's childhood dependence a little too much? All the controversial opinions are here. Does Ren and Stimpy hold up? Ben reports in.
