This week, we tackle Star Wars Reddit questions, build the definitive Jabba Pokémon lineup, test some questionable snacks, and spiral from car disasters into movies where cut brakes are basically a death sentence. Then the nostalgia kicks in with FernGully, Pagemaster, Brave Little Toaster, Homeward Bound, Jumanji, and the childhood movies that either still hit or completely fall apart. We also reminisce about our favorite Star Wars experiences, ramble on with stories of the good ol' days, nerd out about current and upcoming Star Wars shows, books, and games, and talk a little bit about life. Thank you so much for supporting our channel! We love interacting with all of you! We look forward to talking with you guys every week about Star Wars, gaming, 3D printing, pop culture, movies, and everything else!

We're celebrating the paperback release of These Summer Storms this week, and that means we're talking about the weather!

Helloooo friends, fiends, and wood sprites! The GoodTrash Kru is back at it taking names and killin' darlings. This week, we're feeling TOXIC as take a look at a pick from our Patreon Supporter Clayton! Clayton wanted to see how FernGully: The Last Rainforest has stood up against Father Time. With an ex-Disney animator at the helm, a selection of musical numbers, and some attempts at corporate sabotage, the film is a prime conversation starter. We discuss all of that plus activism, optimism, and probably some other isms along the way. Tune in now as we sprinkle some analysis magic on FernGully. Thanks once again to our Patreon supporters, for more info go to Patreon.com/gtm.
A public service announcement from your friends at Cinebuds: “Animated movies” and “Anime” are NOT the same thing. It's a good time to point this out because throughout this month, Milwaukee Film will turn its lens on the magic of both categories as part of its “Ani-May” movie series.Yes, the more general moviegoing public will notice familiar titles like The Iron Giant, Ferngully and Smashmouth-adjacent delight-turned-sequel-factory Shrek (and Shrek 2). That does NOT mean families with young children should descend on the Oriental Theatre willy-nilly for any selection in the series.A prime case in point is the film that earns our focus in this episode, the punctuation-laden Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc. Leave the kiddies at home for this high-octane, high-violence tale that might just lure you in via a slow-burn 40 minutes that seem to be more about teenage dating than the title would suggest.Then … it earns that title.But while Dori and Kpolly spend time exploring the mythology of devils and hunters, compare Chainsaw Man to Blade and wonder whether they're getting too old for this s***, there's more than chainsaws in this episode! Our duo also touch on the full lineup for “Ani-May” — from Shrek's swampy nostalgia to the Fantasia-indebted Allegro Non Troppo.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Doors.
Clayface is stepping into full horror territory, and Frank and Squeaks break down why that could be exactly what DC needs. The episode also covers a packed week of reboots and adaptations, including FernGully, The Phantom, Django/Zorro, RoboCop, Battlefield, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. The back half shifts into a spoiler-heavy Invincible Season 4 review, with a big focus on Thragg, Mark's impossible choices, and the emotional weight of Atom Eve's storyline. Frank and Squeaks also dig into Xbox's future, Game Pass changes, the return of stronger Xbox branding, and whether the next console can make fans excited again. Timestamps and Topics 00:00 Avengers: Endgame 7-Year Anniversary and Favorite Character Arcs 03:05 Capital Creative Showcase and Convention Updates 04:02 Clayface Trailer Discussion and DC Horror Potential 08:27 FernGully, The Phantom, Django/Zorro, and RoboCop Reboots 16:35 Battlefield Movie and Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced 25:28 Invincible Season 4 Spoiler Review 40:01 Xbox's Future, Game Pass Changes, Project Helix, and Brand Identity 59:21 Network Updates, Recommendations, and Closing Key Takeaways Frank and Squeaks look back at Avengers: Endgame seven years later, highlighting Steve Rogers, Nebula, Black Widow, Hawkeye, and the idea of a Ronin video game. The Clayface trailer sparked a strong reaction because it feels more like a horror movie than a standard DC or Batman-adjacent story. Reboots dominate the news cycle, with mixed reactions to FernGully, The Phantom, RoboCop, Django/Zorro, and Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced. The Battlefield movie conversation centers on how it can separate itself from Call of Duty and other military films by leaning into large-scale, multi-front battles. The Invincible Season 4 review praises Thragg as a major villain, explores Mark's moral limits, and gives the season a 9 out of 10 from both hosts. The Xbox discussion focuses on Game Pass pricing, exclusives, Project Helix, and whether Xbox can rebuild its identity as a console brand. Memorable Quotes "Give me a Ronin video game. I think that'd be dope." "This needs to be treated as a full-on horror movie." "Why would McDonald's lose the Golden Arches? You guys are doing that right now." "Mark's weakness is the fact that he's a good person." "I'm excited to be a fanboy again."

In this week's Copeland's Corner, Brian welcomes comedians Natasha Muse, Monique Marvez, and Carlos Alazraqui. The panel delivered a lively, politically charged and comedic discussion covering everything from Trump's record-low approval ratings to cultural identity and representation in entertainment. Highlights: Political Pulse: The group analyzed new polling showing Trump's approval at 33%, with deep disapproval on inflation, gas prices, and the economy. They debated whether his base is fracturing, referencing the surprising turnout at “No Kings” rallies in red states. Foreign Policy & War in Iran: The comics questioned U.S. motives for military action in Iran, suggesting it's a distraction from domestic issues. They discussed NATO tensions and the global response to U.S. policy. Mandatory Military Service Debate: Sparked by Rob Schneider's comments, the panel explored the idea of reinstating the draft. Carlos and Monique shared personal and generational perspectives on military service, while Brian recalled performing for troops abroad. Immigration & Birthright Citizenship: The Supreme Court's hearing on Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship led to a passionate exchange about immigration, open borders, and the fear of America's demographic shift. Cultural Identity & Representation: Carlos reflected on assimilation pressures growing up Latino in California, while Monique and Brian discussed Hollywood's history of whitewashing and evolving attitudes toward ethnic casting. Political Scandals & Relationships: The group dissected the Christy Noem story, kink-shaming in politics, and parallels to past scandals involving public figures. They debated authenticity, hypocrisy, and the cost of maintaining appearances. Environmental Racism & Inequality: The conversation turned to systemic inequities, from freeway zoning in Oakland to pollution in low-income communities, highlighting how environmental and racial justice intersect. Comedy & Career Reflections: The panel reminisced about Rob Schneider's career, the evolution of comedy, and how performers adapt to stay relevant. Upcoming Gigs: Carlos Alazraqui: Performing in a live reading of Fern Gully on April 22 at Dynasty Typewriter (benefit for rainforest and climate causes). Monique Marvez: Headlining Hermosa Comedy & Magic Club (April 30) and Throckmorton Theatre (May 12). Brian: Hosting Comedy in the Plaza in San Leandro on July 18, benefiting the Davis Street Family Resource Center. -- Connect with our Guests... #CarlosAlazraqui - CarlosAlazraqui.com #MoniqueMarvez - MoniqueMarvez.com & @MoniqueMarvez on Instagram #NatashaMuse - NatashaMuse.com -- #TrumpPolls #NoKingsRallies #BirthrightCitizenship #ImmigrationDebate #USPolitics #EnvironmentalJustice #RepresentationMatters #TrumpApprovalRatings #Election2026 #PoliticalSatire #IranConflict #NATO #ForeignPolicyDebate #Project2025 #ReligiousRight #MandatoryService #MilitaryDraft #RobSchneiderComments #VeteransVoices #USOMemories #ComedyForTheTroops #BirthrightCitizenship #ImmigrationDebate #OpenBorders #SupremeCourt #AmericanIdentity #DemographicShift #EnvironmentalJustice #RacialInequality #NIMBY #OaklandFreeways #ClimateAwareness #RepresentationMatters #LatinoVoices #HollywoodCasting #AssimilationStories #CulturalIdentity #ComedyAndDiversity #ChristyNoem #PoliticalScandals #KinkShaming #PublicImage #MediaControversy #ComedyPodcast #FernGullyLive #ThrockmortonTheatre #HermosaComedyClub #SanLeandroEvents #DavisStreetCenter #BrianCopeland #CopelandsCorner #HeadlinersOnTheHeadlines#CopelandUnfiltered #ComedyCommentary #PodcastersOfYouTube #ComicsOnAir #TalkPodcast#PoliticalHumor #PoliticalPodcast #HotTalkTopicsPodcast Hosted by the Bay Area's own Brian Copeland, a longtime Actor, Comedian, Author, Playwright, Television and Radio Personality.

"You cannot live like this, baby, in hate!"James Cameron returns us to Pandora with Avatar: Fire & Ash, and this time the conversation goes far beyond the spectacle. In this episode of Animation Fascination, hosts Marc Vibbert & Stanford Clark are joined by special guest Agustin Rios (of Heroes Reforged) to break down the newest chapter of the Avatar saga—its themes, technology, and whether the franchise is still evolving… or repeating familiar myths.We dive into the film's emotional core following the Sully family after tragedy, the introduction of the aggressive Mangkwan clan, Quaritch's uneasy alliances, and the ever-expanding mythology of Eywa and Pandora. But this episode isn't just a movie review — it's a full-blown discussion about the cinematic experience itself.Agustin also shares insights from his past work in 3-D conversion as the group explores the rise, fall, and possible rebirth of 3-D filmmaking, along with a passionate conversation about physical media, preservation, and what the future of home viewing might look like.(Recorded: Tuesday, January 27th, 2026)Main TopicAvatar: Fire & AshFilm DiscussionThe Sully family after The Way of WaterGrief, family, and belonging on PandoraThe Mangkwan — a Na'vi tribe that rejects EywaQuaritch's evolving motivations and uneasy alliancesSpider's transformation and humanity's future on PandoraKiri's connection to Eywa and the spiritual mythologyThe Tulkun, the Metkayina, and environmental parallelsFinal battle and what it means for the franchise moving forwardFranchise ConversationIs Avatar just FernGully, Dances with Wolves, or Pocahontas?Why Pandora still resonates with audiencesWorld-building vs. storytelling debatesJames Cameron as a technological filmmaker3-D & TechnologyThe rise of theatrical 3-DAgustin's experience in 3-D conversionWhy some 3-D works — and why some doesn'tPremium formats, immersion, and audience expectationsPhysical Media & PreservationStreaming vs ownershipCollector culture and boutique labelsArchival concerns for modern filmsWill 3-D survive at home?
This episode of Hort Culture wanders (joyfully) from overflowing lemon trees and dragon fruit mishaps to the pop-culture moments that quietly shaped our love of plants. The crew swaps stories about greenhouses, houseplants, and being accidental victims of horticultural success, then dives into how movies, books, and cartoons—from FernGully to The Secret Garden—sparked lifelong connections to the natural world. It's a laid-back, nostalgic conversation about growing plants, growing up, and how plants have always been part of the story.Questions/Comments/Feedback/Suggestions for Topics: hortculturepodcast@gmail.comCheck us out on Instagram!
We kicked things off by butchering the Jaws theme on plastic recorders—which we’ve decided are essentially musical sewer pipes—before pivoting to the high-brow realization that physics is actually God’s art museum and humans are just the ones writing the placards.We spent a good chunk of time roasting Hollywood for its recycled plots, rebranding Jaws as the "ultimate fishing film" and realizing Avatar is just a blue-tinted Fern Gully where the characters use their tails as universal adapters. Our nostalgia took us back to the glory days of mastering the "tripod" head-prop to nap in geometry class without face-planting, a skill far more useful than our Gen X school fundraisers involving "high-quality" trash bags and overpriced wrapping paper. To wrap up, we lamented the fact that taking a sick chicken to an exotic vet costs $250—proving yogurt is the only affordable healthcare for poultry—and left everyone on a spicy cliffhanger regarding our upcoming deep-dive into the scandalous world of black pepper.

Brought to you by the butts of the Town and Country security guards, Chelsea's most baffling experience of the season: Xanadu (1980). This beautifully rendered 80's roller disco fever dream skated its way into Madison's heart and melted Chelsea's brain in the process. What was the plot? What was that Ferngully-styled animated love montage? Why is Gene Kelly on skates? None of this gets answered! You'll love it, we promise. The soundtrack is incredible and the visuals were cutting edge. Were. Connect With UsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/loveatfirstscreening/Email: loveatfirstscreening@gmail.comProduction Hosts: Chelsea Ciccone and Madison HillMusic: Good StephArtwork: Chelsea CicconeSocial Media: Marissa CicconeAbout the ShowAn examination of classic tropes and iconic characters pits connoisseur against cynic—one romantic comedy at a time. The cinematic world of love and laughter had rom-com enthusiast Madison head over heels from the time Harry met Sally. For genre skeptic Chelsea, however, it's been a grueling enemies-to-lovers plot. In Love at First Screening, Madison introduces Chelsea to all the fan-favorite love stories she's never wanted to watch. One friend's passion might be the other's displeasure, but doesn't love conquer all? Tune in every other Wednesday to find out.

This week on Myopia Movies, we watched the classic story where an outsider falls in love with an indigenous person and tries to protect them and their land. Ok, not Pocahontas, no, not Ferngully. Ok, not original, but valuable property that somehow earned itself a land in Disney World and now has four sequels coming out, including one this weekend. We watched Avatar, where large cat people have intercourse with trees via their ponytail. Well done, Jim Cameron. Well done. How will Avatar hold up? Host: Nic Panel: Keiko Directed by: James Cameron Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Giovanni Ribisi, Joel David Moore

When Avatar came out in 2009, it shattered box-office records. And even though it was billed as a sci-fi epic featuring blue aliens on a far-away moon, the movie didn't shy away from a pretty Earth-based message of environmental conservation.So, with a third Avatar hitting theaters this weekend, we were inspired to bust out the popcorn, dim the lights, and play the part of pop culture critics. How do movies – from blockbusters to documentaries to Disney films – shape our conception of the natural world?SUPPORTTo share your questions and feedback with Outside/In, call the show's hotline and leave us a voicemail.

Lesley Logan 0:02 Get ready for some wins. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:44 All right, Be It babe. I have a fun inspo, a fun affirmation. It's a fun episode. So welcome to the FYFs. It's a Fuck Yeah Friday. It's kind of like, fuck yeah, I did that, right? I did that. So I am, I'm home. Cambodia. This it's happened and Singapore, but obviously I recorded these beforehand. However, I'm really excited about it. I'm really excited. So here we go. This is the inspiration I saw online, and this is just what I want to share with you all, because I like giving information for you that can support you in your life. So there's this guy on Instagram. It says this guy's a modern day hero, helping people to feel safe while using ride hailing apps and taxis. So his handle is _joshuasummerfield, and he to him, he's been he's an actor, I guess, and he usually plays, like, the protector role. And so he basically created these reels where you could download the audio, and he, he basically, like, he's like, okay, download this audio, and then just turn your phone, like, loud. And so it goes, hey baby, what's up, right? And he has this, like, voice of, like, just like, sounds like a big dude. And then you can go, oh yeah, I'm on my way home. And then he has a script, right? So you just have to pause and he'll talk. And that way your ride share person knows that you have some big, scary person waiting for you. So no matter what, whom you love in this world, or whom you're going home to, you might need this audio. And to be honest, as a female who's been in ride sharing apps, I have been of the course, majority of the rides have felt very safe and very fine and honestly unmemorable, which is what you want. But there have the three times that I have been scared. I was, like, actually scared. And while nothing bad happened to me, bad things have happened. And there's tons of statistics that are out there. And yes, there's apps now, and there's ride sharing apps, including in Vegas, where I live, but probably where you live, where there's driverless cars, which is like, yes please. And then there's also, like, where we live, there's like a woman's only chauffeur, like women only driving, and I love that. But just in case you find yourself not able to use those things, I would definitely hit up his account. I would account. I would definitely do on those audios and save them, because it has been really helpful. You know, I've had it like Brad was traveling once, and this guy had picked me up, right? And he was really gruff about it, and just sent my, like, hackles up, and I was, excuse me, I have to just call my husband, let him know I'm coming home. And I just sent him a voice text. I didn't actually, like, because, like, he was in camp. He was not in the country, so he was not gonna answer his phone while he's sleeping, anyways. And I, of course, was like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, drop me off over here and drop me off at my neighbor's house. And I, like, walk, like I was walking up towards their house and, like, behind the van, you know, because, like, sometimes, like, what is going on? Like, this person gives me the creeps. So this guy's voice would have really saved things for me. So anyways, go check that out. We have the link in the show notes for you. And Ijust like, when people do cool things to help other people out, he gets paid nothing for that, which is awesome. And I think what a win for that guy. Just to, like, help everyone out they could have wins in their day. Lesley Logan 3:57 Okay, so now a win of yours. Let's see it. We have Christine Ivy. She's an eLevator. She just graduated. I have been reading the Contrology handbook, and it is so good, it is getting me even more excited, as if that was even possible to work with all my new classical equipment that is arriving this week, Contrology Reformer, Armchair, classical springs for my Cadillac and for my upcoming happy hours in my studio, I am absolutely thrilled for what is to come as I become more aware and more aligned with teaching and practicing the method as it was originally designed. So I love this because, like, I think, I don't think we all spend enough time celebrating, like the learning we're doing, the being in the process of learning what we're doing. You know, sometimes we're like, oh, I won't celebrate until I've learned it. You know, until I am done, I can't celebrate it. But she is like, like, celebrating what she is, in fact, studying right now. And it's so, so cool. And so my loves, you are probably in the middle of something. Maybe you can celebrate when you did something like, when you read one chapter, right? Oh, I read that one chapter. Or oh, I'm finally able to pronounce that word in this language I'm learning correctly. You know, those are wins that you're not giving yourself credit for. And I love a gratitude, and we're coming up in gratitude season. But like, my goodness, we can be celebrating like, oh, that happened today. You know that one thing happened today, and take some note for it, because things that stand out are the things that like suck, but if you're focusing on the things that like, whoa, I can't believe like, not only did I get that email off that's been on my heart and I was struggling to write it, but I also got some laundry done. I got two hard things done one day. Win, right? All right. So just trying to give you some ideas on all the things you can celebrate in your life. Lesley Logan 5:32 Okay, my turn to celebrate. So I have another bucket list to check off. So Brad showed me the Botanical Gardens in Singapore years ago. I don't even think we'd actually even been to a Singapore Airport when he showed me this, like, I think he's on a movie or a short or something like that. Just look like this world of craziness. And we just kept saying, someday we'll be able to go to Singapore and do it. And we fly through Singapore a lot, but our layovers are rarely able to to go do anything, and the last couple of times, they were overnight and we could have dinner, but we couldn't do the gardens and dinner and sleep and get to the airport on time and all that stuff. But as I mentioned last time, we had this long layover, and we were able to check off a bucket list and go to the Botanical Gardens. And I have seen them, and I just like, I feel like I'm a constantly a girl, just like seeking out like FernGully. I just want to live in FernGully, you know, but without the hexes. And if you don't know what I just said, then you have not seen one of the greatest cartoon movies ever. And it's Robin Williams playing Baddie, and it is just wonderful. And I might just watch it now that I've, like reminded myself how cool it was. I hope it's as good as a child, but anyways, I really hope it ages well. But I just there's something about being in these gardens and seeing plants from all over that you would never get to see. It just feels like a wonder of this world. And so if you have a bucket list and you haven't like looked at it recently, go ahead and give it a look, right? You might find an opportunity to get to check one of those things off, and it feels really, really cool. Have I seen anything else in Singapore? No, not really, but that, yes, I have. So good, celebrate. Oh, what a win. What a win. Because when you start practicing, seeking out what is possible, it's pretty easy to find out more possibilities on those things. Lesley Logan 7:23 All right, I have a really funny affirmation. So this I came across, and I'm pretty sure the person thought that they were like nagging this part, like this thing about LA., but I actually thought of it as a great affirmation. So what the post says is, nothing will prepare you for L.A., small talk. I asked someone today what they do, and they said, I'm in between blessings right now. And so I feel like this person is, like, trying to get like, a shock out of people, because, like, L.A., people do say some interesting things, like, I'm in between blessings right now. But what an awesome affirmation or mantra if you are in that space, like, if you are going through something, you're feeling really stuck, this is for you. So I think we should just co-opt this, because it's great. And there's some weird things. L.A. people say, as someone who's been in L.A., I will happily, yes, there are, but I'll die on that hill that, like some of them, aren't actually wonderful, positive ways of thinking about your life. So, ready? I'm in between blessings right now. Doesn't that sound good? I'm in between blessings right now. Oh yeah, I'm in between blessings right now. Lesley Logan 8:28 All right, loves, you go have a great weekend. All right? You guys, have a great weekend. I hope that you are on the waitlist for the upcoming Cambodia retreat next year. We will open up the doors in January. You got to be on the waitlist for that crowsnestretreats.com. And you know, if you got wins, we want to hear them. Send them into beitpod.com/questions you can also send your questions there. But I want your wins. Maybe you are in between blessings and you want to celebrate that. We would love to hear it. All right, have an amazing day. Until next time, Be It Till You See It. Lesley Logan 8:55 That's all I got for this episode of the Be It Till You See It Podcast.

The year is 2000. You are a 12-year-old boy. You spend your days watching Total Request Live and hoping they'll man up and play “Stellar” by Incubus. You spend an inordinate amount of time choosing the coolest song lyrics to leave as your AOL Instant Messenger away message. And you head out to the cinematorium to see three women kick ass in Charlie's Angels. You like it a lot, but you have difficulty explaining why. Well, revisiting it 25 years later, it's actually pretty easy to see why: It's kind of just a straightforward, fun, slightly silly action movie. In Drew Barrymore, Lucy Liu, and Cameron Diaz, you have three extremely likable and charismatic performances. And, in the biggest shocker of all, the much-maligned McG is able to direct some fairly competent action sequences. Who knew?

They thought they were making a movie that would save the environment and destroy extractive industries. Instead, they made a generation of millennials horny as hell for cartoon trees. FernGully: The Last Rainforest is a fascinating mid-budget animated film that presents a mighty counterweight to the Disney behemoth of the early 1990s: Modest in scope, budget-level pop songs, and an anti-capitalist message Disney would never allow (unless James Cameron does it). And it's not a great movie, but it's very good, and the animation is extremely impressive. And everyone jokes that Avatar lifts the story of FernGully…. But man, it really seems like Avatar has seen FernGully. Or maybe it's just that there are so few anti-capitalist movies made by Hollywood studios that the few that exist all seem to resemble each other. Also: Seriously you guys, there is some legitimately horny stuff going on in this movie. Avatar also seems inspired by that part.

(Spoiler Section Length - 5min 22sec)When it comes to direct-to-video sequels of animated films, though Disney's efforts are often derided, due to their budgets they tend to be better than what other studios manage to do. We've seen various efforts already, such as with sequels to Don Bluth films, and they've run the gamut from 'okay' to 'very bad'. Does Ferngully's sequel fall in that range, or does it manage to break the mold? Listen to find out!
We talk about 10 more animated movies from the 80's and 90's including Fern Gully, Heavy Metal, Aladdin, Rover Dangerfield, Feivel Goes West, We're Back and Dinosaur Story, and more.
(Spoiler Section Length - 7min 45sec)There are a lot of movies and shows aimed toward children that have a goal, primary or not, of advocating for protecting the natural environment from pollution. But if you're a 90s kid, chances are there's one in particular that comes to mind when the subject is brought up - Ferngully. Many pro-environment, anti-pollution pieces of media have a less-than-stellar reputation, often accused of being overly preachy... does Ferngully fall into that trap? And regardless, is it any good, all these years later? Listen to find out!
In this episode, we explore the environmental themes and vibrant world of FernGully: The Last Rainforest. The film's animation brings to life a magical rainforest threatened by human destruction and the malevolent spirit, Hexxus. Join The Dale, Cea, and Twan as we delve into the film's eco-message, its use of mythology, and the ways it portrays the battle between nature and industrialization. So tune in as we discuss whether FernGully's start studded cast can help it stand out as a true cult classic of 90s animation. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cult-of-the-living-dead/support
