Podcasts about Hasbro

Amy's feeling proud, while Kat's feeling sad! We confess all the ways we've settled into getting older, from sensible shoes to loving vacuums to not wanting to go to concerts that start too late. Kat takes us through the realization that millennials are no longer "the future" (or the problem child) as Gen Z has officially taken over that title. Plus: a story about the time Amy's mom showed up at school and walked her to class, a mom who told her kids the TV "broke" four months ago, taking a cruise to Antarctica, and this week's Hasbro Moment honoring a teacher whose family tradition of playing Monopoly turned into decades of showing up for a family in need. Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again. Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one?

We're back from our summer break, and the hobby hasn't exactly been quiet.This week, we get into the latest wave of Marvel releases,including 2026 Mint and 2026 Chrome, before musing on whether the sudden rush of attention around non-sports is genuine growth, good old-fashioned hype, or a little bit of both.That takes us into non-sports “rookies”

In this episode we cover the Card Kingdom acquisition, value of creators, Hasbro clapback, Alchemy sunsetting, and Sony's class action lawsuit.   Please remember to rate the show and leave a comment!

Amy's feeling disappointed, envious, and curious while Kat is just feeling conflicted. Plus: Amy shares an important PSA about Instagram reposts (go check your page, you never know what's on there), Kat tells us why one etiquette expert says "congratulations" on an engagement is actually a faux pas, TSA-approved airport hammocks for your next long layover, a genius gift idea involving printed group texts, and a 70-year-old's texting code cheat sheet that will have you dying laughing (BYOT = Bring Your Own Teeth).

DOCKET ALERTS:   The president is promising to send out $5,000 checks to every American if Republicans win the midterms.   The Fourth Circuit became the ninth appellate court to find that the Trump administration's mandatory detention policy for all immigrants without legal status is patently illegal.   The Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to let it install US Attorneys without Senate confirmation. Time to bring back Alina Habba and Lindsey Halligan!   Andrew and Tristan Tate's motion for bail pending their extradition to the UK was denied by a federal magistrate in Miami.   Hasbro is the latest company to tell the White House to quit using its IP in racist AI slop memes — this time the government is molesting Optimus Prime!   DOOFUS OF THE DAY:    James Piereson has an editorial in the Wall Street Journal wondering if adding new Supreme Court justices is illegal. It's not, and neither is saying absolute drivel in public.   MAIN SHOW:   We're all waiting for SCOTUS to say whether they're planning to let Trump burn down the midterms and refuse to deliver mail-in ballots. In the meanwhile, the US Supreme Court teamed up with the Missouri state Supreme Court to prevent a harebrained scheme by Missouri's Republican Secretary of State, Denny Hoskins, to cram down an even-more-gerrymandered congressional map that would give Republicans an extra seat in the House of Representatives. The Missouri Supreme Court ruled that the new map needs to be approved by the voters before it can take effect, and held Hoskins in contempt for refusing to abide by their September 3 injunction. And the US Supreme Court put the kibosh on a crazy TRO issued by a rogue Trump appointee purporting to require Missouri to use the Trump map. So it looks like Missourians are going to head back to the polls in November under the existing 2022 maps.   Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick has a plan to hack the 2030 Census. And that plan is RACISM.   SUBSCRIBER BONUS:   We break down Law & Chaos's DOOFUS OF THE DAY, James Piereson, a non-lawyer who has the legal opinion that expanding the Supreme Court is unconstitutional, even though it definitely isn't.   Lopez Garcia v. Guadian [Fourth Circuit, mandatory detention] https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/72052515/oscar-lopez-garcia-v-robert-guadian/   Petition for Cert In US Attorneys Case https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/26/26-304/423324/20260908124848584_Jackson%20Petition.pdf   US v.

The Traumatizing Plot Points: The Battle of Autobot City, the passing of the Matrix of Leadership, and the shocking character deaths that rewrote 80s pop culture. The Iconic Soundtrack: Vince DiCola's synth score, Stan Bush's "The Touch," and Weird Al Yankovic's "Dare to Be Stupid".

This week we're looking at Robotix, Marvel's adaptation of a 1980s Hasbro property that desperately wanted to be the next Transformers. The comic is better than the cartoon, but it is missing the rad theme song.

Dungeons & Dragons 2 has a finished script, and the studio that made the first one already passed on it. Avengers Doomsday is deep in edits, the Russo brothers just called their script a living organism, and everyone lost their minds about it. Squeaks opens the show with a full report from the Pokémon World Championships in San Francisco, where the Moscone Center got taken over by TCG, Pokémon Go, Unite, and the new Pokémon Champions app, and where buying a single piece of exclusive merch turned into a timed-entry website that crashed on everybody. Then Allen Dunford joins Frank to talk about The Samurai Redneck Zombie Killer #1, the Comic Soup book he co-wrote with Kit Wallis that funded its previous record in a single day. Allen gets into the grindhouse and manga influences, why the story stays locked on two survivors instead of a community, and the Geek Freaks variant cover on the Kickstarter. Frank closes with the first News Quickfire, a tighter news segment built on listener feedback. The news run covers D&D 2's script and where the project could land, Netflix developing a live action Ravenloft while Forgotten Realms gets canceled, HBO's Baldur's Gate series with Craig Mazin, the real reasons Honor Among Thieves underperformed, the Avengers Doomsday improv conversation, Jim Cummings losing Darkwing Duck to a recast, and a full status check on Gargoyles, Hey Arnold, Doug, and the 90s reboot slate. Chapters 0:00 Intro: Patreon Upgrades, SideQuest Relaunch, and Show Changes 1:34 Squeaks at Pokémon Worlds: Moscone Center, Pokémon XP, and the Tournaments 5:21 The Merch Problem: Pokémon Center Lines, Resellers, and Scalpers 10:12 Guest: Allen Dunford on The Samurai Redneck Zombie Killer 21:37 Seven Years Indie, the Comic Soup Slate, and the Geek Freaks Variant 27:30 News Quickfire: D&D 2's Finished Script, Ravenloft, and Baldur's Gate 34:14 Avengers Doomsday, the Russos, and the Improv Panic 40:52 Darkwing Duck Recasts Jim Cummings, Plus the 90s Reboot Roundup 48:10 Wrap-Up and Listener Feedback Key Takeaways Pokémon Worlds was an incredible event wrapped around a broken buying experience. The Pokémon Center on site required a timed booking through a site that crashed, the second merch area turned out to be reseller tables selling singles for hundreds, and Squeaks walked out having spent twenty dollars and bought his Worlds backpack online later at roughly four times the price. Next year's Worlds moves to Singapore, so US fans have no idea when it comes back. The Samurai Redneck Zombie Killer started as a title and a cover. Kit Wallis brought Allen the name and the first five pages, posted the cover to Instagram, and the response was so far outside his normal engagement that they fast tracked the whole book. It beat Comic Soup's previous best campaign total in a single day. Allen and Kit built the book around two people instead of a community, borrowing the Leon and Mathilda dynamic from The Professional, right down to naming the samurai Lee. The art uses a manga inspired color scheme with the first five pages in full color before shifting to black, white, and splashes of red. Paramount Skydance passed on Dungeons & Dragons 2 as financially unviable, but Hasbro is shopping it. Honor Among Thieves earned around $205 million on a roughly $150 million budget split with Hasbro's E1, opened four days before The Super Mario Bros. Movie, landed a month after the OGL boycott, and never told non fans it was a family comedy. The Avengers Doomsday improv worry is overblown. The Russos worked the same way on Infinity War and Endgame, their visual reference is Once Upon a Time in the West, and Robert Downey Jr. said he would not have come back without them. Improv on a movie this size gets spent on one on one character scenes, not on Sentinels and VFX plates. Jim Cummings and Terry McGovern are both being recast in the Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg Darkwing Duck reboot, seven years after Cummings recorded the pilot that got it greenlit. The 2017 DuckTales storyline he voiced was about an actor destroyed by a Darkwing Duck recast. Gargoyles' live action version is dead but the animated one is alive, Hey Arnold is in conversations, an adult Doug has concept art out, and King of the Hill is the template everyone is pointing to. Quotes "Twenty bucks, because it was a horrible experience when it comes to purchasing anything." - Squeaks "It is a black mark on the Pokémon brand right now." - Frank "He had the title already. It does what it says on the label." - Allen Dunford "We're not focusing on a community. We're just focusing on two people trying to survive this thing." - Allen Dunford "In the indie sphere, you're not just the writer. The book doesn't stop at the script." - Allen Dunford "Improv works better when it's scaled down. It doesn't work super well when it scales up." - Frank All news discussed on this episode comes from GeekFreaksPodcast.com.

The news kicks off with Hasbro's CEO temporarily stepping in to oversee MTG and D&D, sparking discussion about leadership changes and their impact on two of the biggest tabletop franchises. They then dive into console strategy: PlayStation rumored to push harder toward an all‑digital future in response to Microsoft's Xbox Disc‑to‑Digital program. Adding fuel to the fire, Sony told a courtroom that reasonable gamers know they don't own digital games — a statement that raises eyebrows about consumer rights and ownership. The guys also cover the Zeta Set debacle from Secret Lair, analyzing what went wrong and how fans reacted, before breaking down the recent Sony State of Play showcase. To wrap things up, the Inflation Deflation Game of the Week spotlights Harvest Moon on SNES, as John and Ryan revisit the farming classic and evaluate its current market value.

This Week on the Toy Power Podcast; we have a few scheduling conflicts, so it's just Ben & Scot in the studio; with the always entertaining Mr. Davey Damaged joining us as well!! Kicking things into gear, we discuss the latest News that is hitting our radar. With a heart-felt tribute to some of the recent passings; we reflect on what some of these larger than life people have done; & how each of them will be missed. Then we chat towards the very lack-luster reveal of King Hiss from the MOTU Chronicles line. Peacemaker from Mezco 1:12 is arguably the definitive Toy version of this character we will likely ever get! McFarlane wrap things up with their Wave 16 of DC Super Powers - with an interesting line-up of Characters. But with this being the finale; who are we missing from this overall toy line-up? PlayStation One are getting the Lego treatment; which honestly looks great; but what is with their Easter Egg game choices?! Then we pivot into a general chat towards Latest Scores & then followed up with Reading / Playing / Watching. An overall fun episode - if not for Ben continually tripping over his sentences! Davey plugged the New Australiana Book by: Fridalasvegas -Australianarama - A Campendium Of Kitsch - an awesome history of what makes Australia so unique!!

Do you touch your hair or fidget with your jewelry at work? We're breaking down a communication expert's take on small nervous habits, twirling your hair, fixing your earrings, playing with loud bangles, and why these tiny, seemingly harmless movements can unintentionally read as nervousness or even flirtation to the people around you. We talk about the upcoming Verity movie and get into 7 research-backed morning habits that couples who stay in love tend to share, from a 6-second kiss to connecting before checking your phone. We got a sweet DM from a listener grateful for the show's prep work ahead of Kat's baby, a hilariously dark confession about making a younger sibling cry on purpose as a kid, and a whimsical mental reframe for creating your own "golden ticket" to a great day. We're also continuing our Hasbro Moment series, this week honoring a school librarian who creates a true sense of community for her students, and celebrating how games like Jenga, Scrabble, and Trivial Pursuit sneak in real learning through play. Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again. Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one?

The Dungeons and Dragons 2 script is finished, and John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein wrote it. Paramount commissioned it under the old leadership, passed on it under the new one, and Hasbro is now shopping it to other studios.Honor Among Thieves was the kind of mid-budget adventure movie that barely gets made anymore, which is why the sequel script sitting on a shelf stings. The passing was a financial call, not a creative one, and the rights are still with Hasbro. The pitch working in the sequel's favor is that the setup work is already paid for. The party is established, the cast is known, and the story can start at the next adventure instead of the introductions.0:00 The Sequel Script Is Written0:15 Paramount Passes, Hasbro Shops It0:29 Bringing the Same Party Back0:42 Scheduling and Leveling Up0:57 What Happens From HereKey takeaways:The script exists and is done. What is missing is a studio willing to fund it.Paramount ordered it under previous leadership and the new ownership passed for financial reasons.Hasbro still holds the rights and is actively looking for a new partner.A finished script is not a greenlight, and nothing about this means a sequel is close."This is a slam dunk. Somebody take it." - Frank"I actually think Amazon is the right fit." - Frank"It's the same party coming back to the table." - FrankSources: The Playlist, GeekFreaksPodcast.comIf you have been waiting on this sequel since 2023, send this to the friend who still quotes Holga.

“Get the heck out of the way and let really talented, great people do great work, and be there and support them. The satisfaction is just off the charts.”Doug Bowser is the retired President & CEO of Nintendo of America, and current Board Member of Hasbro. Doug is a sales and marketing executive whose nearly four-decade career runs from consumer goods to video games, having led Nintendo of America through a decade of historic growth. Doug led operations across the Americas from 2019 through the end of 2025. During his tenure, Nintendo grew on the strength of the Nintendo Switch — one of the best-selling video game platforms of all time — and he oversaw the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, which became the best-selling console of all time in its initial sales period. Doug also expanded Nintendo's licensed merchandise business, opened the company's San Francisco flagship store, and led its re-entry into the Brazilian market. Prior to joining Nintendo, Doug spent 8 years at Electronic Arts, most recently as Vice President of Global Business Planning, and before that, he spent 23 years at Procter & Gamble in sales leadership roles across Asia, Latin America, and the United States. Doug earned his degree in Communications from the University of Utah — where he later returned as Distinguished Alumnus and commencement speaker, and where, playing endless hours of Donkey Kong, he first fell for video games. Today he serves as an Independent Director on the board of Hasbro.This conversation is hosted by podcast co-founder and P&G Alum Drew Tarvin, Founder & CEO of Humor That Works. Drew spent six years at P&G leading IT + brand initiatives before turning his background in engineering, improv, and stand-up comedy into a career helping organizations use humor to improve leadership, communication, and workplace culture. He's the author of Humor That Works and his TEDx talk has been viewed more than 16 million times.

Amy bought Glen Powell's ketchup on a whim at the store and there’s so much more to this then we realized. We get into his wild journey from a childhood ketchup trauma to co-founding his own organic condiment brand, Smash Kitchen. Kat unpacks family systems for us and the different roles people tend to fall into growing up, the Hero, the Mascot, the Lost Child, the Placater, and the Scapegoat, and talk through why the "truth teller" of the family so often ends up labeled as the problem. We also talk about a psychological trick called the Benjamin Franklin Effect, the surprising reason people actually like you more when you ask them for a small favor, not the other way around. Plus, we share an incredibly touching story from a Hasbro Moment listener whose autistic son found connection and confidence through simple board games like Hi Ho! Cherry-O and Hungry Hungry Hippos, thanks to a teacher who knew exactly what he needed.

Hasbro seems to be struggling with what Dungeons & Dragons actually is. Dark Sun is returning, but most likely nerfed by sensitivity readers. Meanwhile, the OG authors of Dark Sun are bringing back a "spiritual successor" via crowdfunding, and the timing is not a coincidence.

Five years ago, producer & host George Sirois released a five-part miniseries on this show, celebrating the 35th anniversary of TransFormers: The Movie. This week on Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, George has re-launched the fifth and final part of the miniseries to celebrate the 40th anniversary and upcoming re-release of the film. "'Til All Are One" features Mark Maher and Evan Brooks, two designers so inspired by the 1986 film that they would grow up to work on some of the most intricate and detailed figures in the entire TransFormers toy line: Hasbro's Studio Series.PRODUCER'S NOTE: In addition to a very spirited and fun conversation with Mark and Evan, there are some final thoughts about the film from music composer Vince DiCola, story consultant Flint Dille, and screenwriter Ron Friedman (RIP Ron). It has been a true joy revisiting these conversations, and I hope you had as much listening to them as I did. We're going to take one week off, and then we'll be back the day after Labor Day with a very special Season 13 premiere of Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity, which was recorded in front of a live audience for the very first time and features three different guests.Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity exists primarily as a platform for creatives of all kinds (authors, filmmakers, stand-up comics, musicians, voice artists, painters, podcasters, etc) to share their journeys to personal success. It is very important to celebrate those voices as much as possible to not only provide encouragement to up-and-coming talent, but to say thank you to the established men & women for inspiring the current generation of artists.If you agree that the Excelsior Journeys podcast serves a positive purpose and would like to show your appreciation, you can give back to the show by clicking HERE.Excelsior Journeys: The Road to Creativity is now a proud member of the Podmatch Podcast Network, and you can access all shows in the network by clicking HERE.

In 1997, Hasbro for the first time revived their beloved 1980s reboot of G.I. Joe for its 15th anniversary...and all hell broke loose! Well, kind of. The 1997-1998 revival of the Joe team and their rambunctious rivals, Cobra, saw the O-ring figures make a brief return (and only in Toys "R" Us). Many of the choices made with this revival live in infamy to this day - from the legendary Pimp Daddy Destro to the disastrous Stars And Stripes Forever box set. We explore the highs and lows of this strange time in Joe history. Join us!

Amy’s gushing about a book that might be the best read of the year, no spoilers, just pure obsession. Then we dig into some research-backed data on family dinners and why something as simple as eating together regularly can lower kids' aggression, reduce disordered eating, and even boost grades and self-esteem. We also get into a genuinely useful parenting hack for avoiding yes/no questions that invite pushback (and yes, we tested if it works on spouses too), plus Quiet Hours at Sephora, a sensory-friendly shopping option way more people than you'd expect could benefit from. And we share an incredibly moving email from a listener nominating her local teacher, whose classroom was damaged in recent flooding but who's kept showing up for her students anyway. We're kicking off something special with Hasbro over the next several weeks to help honor her and teachers like her. Hasbro is sponsoring Feeling Things for 8 weeks, celebrating back to school by getting families around the table with games again. Even better: they're helping us honor amazing teachers! Know one? Email heythere@feelingthingspodcast.com or call 877-207-2077, they could get featured on the show, plus a $500 Walmart gift card from Hasbro for classroom supplies.

With the Democratic primary less than a month away, incumbent Pawtucket Mayor Donald Grebien is facing a challenge from Adam Greenman, the former president and CEO of the Jewish Alliance of Greater Rhode Island.

In a surprise announcement, the long "on-the-shelf" Star Wars animated comedy from George Lucas, Seth Green and company will be screening at the soon-to-open Lucas Museum in LA. We listen to Seth Green's announcement at San Diego Comic Con and discuss what the show is all about. In other SDCC news, Kevin Feige gets us pumped up about next year's Star Wars: Starfighter by revealing he's already seen it, but we are confused by the total lack of publicly available images and coverage. And we share our disappointment with Hasbro for some of their lackluster SDCC announcements and criticize them for sad offerings going back to Solo: A Star Wars Story. Star Wars fans are still talking about The Mandalorian and Grogu and our voicemail inbox has some listener thoughts about Rotta the Hutt. In our "Outrageous Unthinkable Story of the Week", a former Star Wars actor breaks bad on his role in the prequels and we try to determine why he's trash talking. Plus, we return to the RFR Sound Lab, we look forward to this week's Rebel Scum Con, and more!
