On this week's Modern Retail Podcast, senior reporters Melissa Daniels and Gabriela Barkho discuss the acquisition of sanitizer brand Touchland. The startup was bought by Church & Dwight, the personal care group that owns Nair and Arm & Hammer, in an $880 million deal. The staff also discusses the rise and fall of Target in the past couple of years, with the retailer marred by pullback in consumer spending and boycotts. In this episode, Daniels and Barkho also welcome Michelle Gabe (18:40), the director of marketing and partnerships at IFG, the parent company of King's Hawaiian, Grillo's Pickles, and Killer Brownie. Gabe joins the show to discuss what goes into brands' collaborations with entertainment franchises and other pop culture moments, especially in film and television. The trend was kicked into high gear during 2023's summer of “Barbie,” when brands of all sizes went pink. Last year, a similar wave was brought on by the “Wicked” movie. Even prestige TV series are getting in on product tie-ins through brand collaborations, as this past season of “White Lotus” showed. During her previous role at truffle sauce startup Truff, Gabe helped bring these types of partnerships to life, such as a collectibles collaboration with the “Super Mario Bros. Movie,” which garnered a waitlist of 20,000. Here is what she had to say about the best way to approach major IP tie-ins.

In this nostalgia-packed, mushroom-fueled episode, Woody and Tyler plunge headfirst into the pixelated madness of one of the strangest movies of the 1990s…The Super Mario Bros. movie.Yes—the live-action one.Yes—with Bob Hoskins.Yes—that one.Released just weeks before Jurassic Park, this movie was supposed to be a surefire hit. Instead, it became one of the most confusing, chaotic, and accidentally brilliant disasters ever to grace the big screen.This week, we explore the bizarre legacy of the first-ever video game movie, complete with:

The gaming landscape continues to evolve at breakneck speed, and episode 129 of the Game Junction Podcast captures this momentum perfectly. We kick things off with an impressive showcase of our latest acquisitions - Brandon's Pokemon Platinum find and extensive Pokemon card haul sits alongside Mark's treasure trove of retro and modern gaming gems, including the Atari 7800 Plus and rare Japanese imports.The industry news this week hits particularly hard, starting with EA's sweeping layoffs and the heartbreaking cancellation of the next Titanfall game. We unpack what this means for beloved franchises and the developers who create them. In a surprising turn, we also explore one of the strangest gaming partnerships in recent memory - the collaboration between a popular Japanese horse racing mobile game and the actual Kentucky Derby. These unexpected cultural crossovers highlight gaming's expanding influence beyond traditional boundaries.Nintendo Switch 2 developments take center stage as we analyze the recent firmware update that enabled game sharing functionality - a clear precursor to the upcoming console's capabilities. We also dive deep into the controversy surrounding Ghost of Yotei's preorders, particularly the collector's edition that doesn't include a physical game copy - a growing trend that has physical media enthusiasts concerned.The episode takes a serious turn when we discuss Xbox's shocking price increase announcement.

The Nintendo Switch 2 has sent shockwaves through the gaming community with pre-orders finally going live—and what a wild ride it's been! We break down every aspect of this momentous gaming event, from the surprisingly manageable online queues to the lightning-fast sellouts.Unlike the nightmare scenarios of PS5 and graphics card launches past, Nintendo seems to have learned valuable lessons. While still chaotic, the implementation of virtual queuing systems and staggered release windows created what we're calling "five times easier than the PS5 launch and 50 times easier than any 50-series cards launch." We share our personal triumphs in securing our consoles and analyze how each major retailer handled the unprecedented demand.The episode dives deep into what's coming for Switch 2 owners at launch, with particular attention to the impressive technical capabilities being showcased by games like Cyberpunk 2077. Using NVIDIA's DLSS technology, the Switch 2 demonstrates significant horsepower that opens exciting possibilities for third-party support. However, we raise concerns about the growing trend of physical releases containing merely download codes rather than actual game cartridges.While celebrating Nintendo's hardware achievements, we spotlight Clear Obscure: Expedition 33, the surprise hit that's sold 500,000 copies in its first day while maintaining a stellar 92 Metacritic score.

Jurandir Filho, Thiago Siqueira, Rogério Montanare e Fernanda Schmölz batem um papo sobre uma mudança silenciosa - mas poderosa - que vem acontecendo em Hollywood: os filmes e séries baseadas em videogames deixaram de ser piada para se tornarem os novos fenômenos da cultura pop. Enquanto o brilho dos super-heróis começa a se desgastar com narrativas repetitivas e excesso de produções, as adaptações de jogos conquistam o público com histórias frescas, universos ricos e legiões de fãs apaixonados.Séries como "The Last of Us", "Fallout" e "Arcane" mostraram que é possível adaptar games com profundidade emocional, visual de ponta e roteiros premiáveis. Já nos cinemas, franquias como "Sonic", "Super Mario Bros." e, mais recentemente, "Minecraft" provaram que há potencial bilionário nas telonas, com bilheterias surpreendentes e apelo intergeracional. Essas adaptações têm uma vantagem clara: os games de hoje já contam histórias tão envolventes quanto qualquer blockbuster, muitas vezes com arcos complexos, personagens icônicos e mundos prontos para explorar. A nova tendência é clara: os videogames são o novo "universo cinematográfico" a ser explorado.Os jogos finalmente derrotaram os super-heróis no coração do público? Talvez não seja o fim dos heróis... mas certamente é o começo da era dos videogames no entretenimento mainstream.

Welcome to Jake's Happy Nostalgia Show, the podcast where nostalgia comes alive!In this exciting episode, we're joined by the creative masterminds behind some of your favorite TV series and films, Bob Schooley and Mark McCorkle! From their early work on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! to writing episodes of beloved Disney hits like Goof Troop and the TV adaptations of Aladdin and Hercules, Bob and Mark's writing careers have spanned decades and captured the hearts of fans worldwide. As creators, they crafted the Toy Story spin-off series Buzz Lightyear of Star Command and are best known for creating one of Disney Channel's most iconic series, Kim Possible. They share stories from Kim Possible's incredible run, which led to two TV movies and a 2019 live-action remake. Bob and Mark also co-wrote the films Sky High and Hotel for Dogs, and even brought us two series based on iconic film franchises, The Penguins of Madagascar and Big Hero 6: The Series.
Dave and Cody revisit Scott Pilgrim vs. The World—a box office flop turned cult classic that might just be one of the more innovative and deeply layered comedies of the 21st century. They talk video game tropes, garage punk soundtracks, hidden Easter eggs, and how this movie walked so others could run (looking at you Super Mario Bros.).They unpack deeper themes of emotional maturity, self-respect, and how Scott's biggest boss battle might've been with himself all along. Plus: Cody makes a strong case for Michael Cera supremacy, and Dave finally acknowledges he's a Young Neil.And Muppets. Because of course.Also news! Including Corey Feldman, Katy Perry and Blue Origin, and White Lotus.https://linktr.ee/PopCulturePastorPod
Nintendo's Switch 2 has captured the gaming world's attention, and we're diving headfirst into what this next-generation console means for players everywhere. With preorders beginning May 8th for My Nintendo members, we explore the system's impressive technical capabilities that have many rethinking its potential. Could this portable powerhouse truly rival the PS5 in some aspects?The controversial $80 price tag for Mario Kart World has ignited passionate debate, but looking back at gaming history reveals some surprising context. Games in the 1990s often sold for what would be equivalent to $130 today—has gaming been underpriced for decades? We examine how development costs, inflation, and consumer expectations collide in this complex discussion.Beyond hardware talk, we're tackling the existential question facing digital gaming: do you actually own your games? Ubisoft's ongoing lawsuit regarding The Crew's shutdown could fundamentally reshape consumer rights in the digital space. If players win their argument that purchasing a game means ownership rather than licensing, the entire industry might face a dramatic restructuring of how online-only games operate.We also mourn the closing of GameStop stores across smaller communities while celebrating the surprising resurgence of retro gaming. From $300 Pokémon cartridges to vintage collectibles commanding eye-watering prices, nostalgia continues driving a thriving secondary market even as physical retail spaces disappear.Send a Text Message to The Game Junction Podcast we may read live!NYXI Gaming - NYXI Wizard GameCube Wireless Joy-pad for Nintendo Switch.

The gaming world erupted this week with Nintendo's long-awaited Switch 2 announcement, revealing a powerhouse hybrid console boasting 1080p handheld resolution, 4K docked capabilities, and frame rates up to 120Hz with DLSS support. We dive deep into the technical specifications that position this new device as a legitimate contender against current-generation consoles while maintaining Nintendo's unique approach to gaming.Mario Kart World headlines an impressive launch lineup, revolutionizing the beloved racing series with an open-world format that represents the franchise's most significant evolution since its inception.

The announcement of a Hyrule Warriors sequel and a Zelda movie trilogy adds further excitement to what's shaping up to be a landmark year for Nintendo fans.We also discuss the impressive third-party support at launch, including titles like Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition and Street Fighter VI, signaling stronger relationships betSend a Text Message to The Game Junction Podcast we may read live!NYXI Gaming - NYXI Wizard GameCube Wireless Joy-pad for Nintendo Switch.

If I've learned one thing as a parent, it's that kids love Jack Black. They loved him as the evil Bowser in The Super Mario Bros.
The gaming landscape shifted dramatically this week with Nintendo's long-awaited announcement of the Switch 2, setting the stage for what promises to be one of the most significant console launches in recent memory.After years of speculation, we finally have concrete details about Nintendo's next-generation hybrid console: a 7.9-inch LCD screen capable of 1080p resolution in handheld mode and up to 4K when docked, with support for frame rates up to 120fps and HDR implementation. What's particularly exciting is Nintendo's partnership with Nvidia to incorporate DLSS technology, enabling AI-powered upscaling that delivers stunning visuals without sacrificing performance - a crucial advancement for a portable system.The biggest surprise wasn't the hardware specs but rather the ambitious reimagining of the Mario Kart franchise. Mario Kart World transforms the traditional circuit-based racing into an expansive open-world experience where players can freely explore interconnected environments, participate in various race types, and discover shortcuts throughout a seamless landscape. The return of the iconic feather item from the SNES era adds another layer of nostalgia-meets-innovation to this flagship launch title.Beyond Mario Kart, we dissect Nintendo's smart approach to backward compatibility, with enhanced versions of beloved titles like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom receiving dedicated Switch 2 editions with improved performance and additional content.Send a Text Message to The Game Junction Podcast we may read live!NYXI Gaming - NYXI Wizard GameCube Wireless Joy-pad for Nintendo Switch.

Jurandir Filho, Felipe Mesquita, Evandro de Freitas e Bruno Carvalho retornam com um papo sobre as trilhas da franquia Mario. As músicas de "Super Mario Bros." são verdadeiros ícones da cultura pop, sendo reconhecidas instantaneamente por fãs ao redor do mundo. Desde o lançamento do primeiro jogo, em 1985, a trilha sonora de Mario, composta principalmente por Koji Kondo, desempenhou um papel essencial na construção da atmosfera e da identidade dos jogos.A primeira música que vem à mente de qualquer fã de Mario é a icônica "Overworld Theme" do jogo original. A melodia alegre, cativante e energética capturou perfeitamente o espírito da aventura e se tornou um dos temas mais reconhecíveis da história dos videogames. Com seu ritmo contagiante e simplicidade charmosa, essa música é uma das mais lembradas e reinterpretações de fãs e músicos são constantes até hoje. Além de Kondo, outros compositores também contribuíram para as trilhas sonoras de Mario em títulos mais recentes, como "Super Mario Galaxy" e "Super Mario Odyssey", mantendo a consistência na qualidade e a sensação de familiaridade, ao mesmo tempo que exploraram novas sonoridades e arranjos orquestrais.A música de "Super Mario" é muito mais que uma simples trilha sonora; ela é uma parte integral da experiência de jogo. Ela nos transporta de volta aos nossos momentos de infância e sua energia continua a cativar novas gerações de jogadores. É difícil imaginar a franquia sem essas melodias que, ao longo de mais de 35 anos, se tornaram tão emblemáticas quanto o próprio encanador bigodudo.Essa é mais uma edição da nossa série PancaTOP!- ALURA | Estude na Alura, a maior escola de tecnologia on-line do Brasil!

The gaming world stands at the precipice of a new era as Nintendo's Switch 2 launch looms just 20 days away. Industry analysts predict a $400 price point and an unprecedented 6-8 million units ready for day one – potentially solving the scalping nightmares that have plagued recent console launches.We explore the fascinating world of indie developers keeping beloved genres alive, from Wild Blue's spiritual homage to Star Fox (complete with animal pilots and dogfighting) to Pip Estrello's GBA-style adventure that introduces the world's first "yo-yo-vania." These passion projects demonstrate how indie developers often preserve gaming traditions that major studios have abandoned.Digital ownership takes center stage as Xbox revokes Alan Wake Remastered from users who received it free in January through a store error. This stark reminder that we never truly "own" our digital games sparks a deeper conversation about preservation and consumer rights in an increasingly digital marketplace. Meanwhile, Star Wars Hunters shutting down after less than a year reveals the brutal economics of free-to-play games competing for player attention and engagement.Send a Text Message to The Game Junction Podcast we may read live!PWRUP Grip 2Use code "GameJunction" for 10% off.NYXI Gaming - NYXI Wizard GameCube Wireless Joy-pad for Nintendo Switch.

Send us a textJack Black sits at the rare intersection of comedy genius, musical talent, and heartfelt authenticity that few performers ever discover. His journey from bit player in 90s action films to beloved family-friendly superstar reveals one of Hollywood's most unexpected and treasured success stories.What makes Black's career so remarkable is his chameleon-like ability to excel across genres while remaining unmistakably himself. When examining his Hall of Fame filmography—from the rock-fueled inspiration of School of Rock to the surprising dramatic depth of Bernie, from the scene-stealing brilliance of Tropic Thunder to the franchise-carrying charisma of Jumanji—we witness an actor who refuses to be typecast yet brings his singular energy to every role.The heart of Black's appeal lies in his fundamental authenticity. Unlike many Hollywood stars who carefully cultivate a persona, Black's on-screen presence feels like a natural extension of himself. This quality shines especially bright in his work with children, where his infectious enthusiasm and lack of cynicism have made him the center of beloved franchises like Kung Fu Panda and Goosebumps. His recent successes with Super Mario Bros and Minecraft further cement his status as cinema's favorite fun dad—the rare actor who appeals equally to children and their nostalgic parents.Beyond his acting, Black's musical background with Tenacious D adds another dimension to his artistry. This rock sensibility infuses his performances with an energy and physicality unusual for comedy actors, creating memorable moments that transcend traditional acting and become pure entertainment. Whether he's performing high-energy physical comedy or capturing subtle emotional beats, Black brings a musician's sense of timing and presence that elevates every project he touches. His career reminds us that true staying power comes not from following trends but from embracing what makes you unique—a lesson Jack Black has mastered with tenacious dedication and undeniable joy.Support the show

"A Minecraft Movie," released in April 2025, defied expectations to become a monumental box office success, grossing $163 million domestically and $313 million globally in its opening weekend, making it the biggest debut of the year and the highest-grossing video game adaptation ever, surpassing "The Super Mario Bros. Movie." Despite mixed reviews from critics, with a 49% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the film resonated strongly with audiences, particularly younger viewers and families, earning a B+ CinemaScore and enthusiastic word-of-mouth that fueled its performance. Produced by Warner Bros. and Legendary for $150 million, the movie's strategic release ahead of spring break, coupled with the star power of Jack Black and Jason Momoa, turned it into a much-needed hit for Hollywood, shrinking the year's box office deficit from 13% to 5.3% behind 2024. Its unexpected triumph, far exceeding initial projections of $70-80 million domestically, underscored the enduring appeal of the Minecraft brand and the viability of video game adaptations when executed with broad, family-friendly appeal.

They highlight standout performances, notably Jack Black as Bowser and Anya Taylor-Joy as a proactive Princess Peach, while critiquing Chris Pratt's portrayal of Mario as merely average. The hosts discuss the film's visual splendor and numerous Easter eggs, though they express disappointment over its reliance on pop music rather than classic Mario compositions.

Send us a textIn time where every person on the internet has access to AI on any platform or interface, the Gents take the time to reflect on the generative images people are creating through inspiration of Studio Ghibli animation (1:15). Where it is all good fun, they stress the message that founder of the studio Hayao Miyazaki warned potential artists that this will destroy the foundations of making art. In recent events, there has been an over surplus of nerd news, which is perfect timing for the Gents to deliver the nerdcore show for April. EstoBro evaluated the latest from Nintendo from their Direct showcase they had a week ago (15:40), as TV opens up questions on what will take place for their Switch 2 announcements this week. There was even additional news on how Nintendo will deliver news to their fans, even with the nonchalant announcement for targeted release date for the Super Mario Bros. movie sequel and a live action Legend of Zelda film. With multiple media outlets to deliver video game news, it is with great pleasure that the EstoBro TV Podcast announces the return of GameInformer magazine (28:05). After a brief hiatus from last year, the major video game news outlet is set to make it's return to delivering quality video game news for gamers. The Gents are more than thrilled to see what is to come from GameInformer as a whole, and the endless possibilities it has to deliver quality video game headlines. Pivoting to the latest in the MCU news, the Gents recap the insanity of the cast teasing of Avengers: Doomsday (37:05). The pair debate over past Marvel alumni that were not featured in the series of clips, but they do hold out optimism on what is to come after releases of titles that set to release this year. They also comment on the reveal of Spider-Man films with release dates set for Tom Holland to return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day and the final installment of the Spider-Verse trilogy. Transitioning from the focus on Marvel, the Gents are truly excited about season two of Marvel Rivals rolling out this month (55:30). They break down the reveals of Blade, Ultron, and Emma Frost as the potential characters that will be playable in the multiplayer hero shooter game. A hefty nerdcore episode indeed, courtesy of the EstoBro TV Podcast.
