Are you ready for an unfiltered, humor-filled critique of the infamous "The Emoji Movie"? If you've ever been confused or just downright frustrated by this film's inconsistencies and absurd plot, you're not alone. Together, we, Dan and Tony, pull apart this animated disaster, questioning the logic behind its storyline, character development, and even its musical score.We dive headfirst into the murky waters of "The Emoji Movie," exposing its flaws and basking in the hilarity of its absurdities. We question the emoji society's rules (or lack thereof), compare its emotional impact to the likes of "Toy Story," and even question the role of dance in the movie. Yet, our movie massacre doesn't end there. We examine the plot's illogical points, the forced romantic subplot, and the film's failed attempt at feminist undertones. As if dismembering "The Emoji Movie" was not enough, we also tackle the world of popular movies and TV shows. We discuss reality TV favorites like Love Island and the Holiday Baking Championship. Join us in this humorous and insightful episode as we navigate the wild world of film critique, and don't forget to engage with us by liking, commenting, and subscribing wherever you can!

Steve Konopelski is an awe-inspiring story of transformation that began with his career on Broadway as a dancer, singer and actor, eventually transitioning to become a skilled pastry chef and now Pastry Chef Instructor. Steve's reputation precedes him; having won Food Network Champion and Alumni awards (Haunted Gingerbread Showdown, Holiday Baking Championship) as well as featuring on his own Youtube show - The Sweet Life of Steve. We discuss how talent can be defined as a combination of skill, technique and personal experience. Konopelski also explains how taking risks and having faith in one's own abilities is key to being a successful chef. Finally, he explores the importance of permission – in particular, allowing oneself to take risks and make mistakes without fear of judgment or failure. Steve Konopelski's inspiring story and advice are a reminder that anything is possible if you have the courage to take risks, trust in your own abilities and have permission to make mistakes. With hard work and dedication, even the greatest dreams can come true. It just takes a little bit of talent, confidence and permission to get there!

On this special edition of THINK Business Exclusives (Getting to the SOUL of Business), Jon goes in-depth with Norma Zager, Author, Journalist, TV Personality and Comedian. Jon and Norma discussed her journey of boldness, re-invention, following her passions and how she listens to her gut and the universe. You will be inspired by her story, positive attitude, but mostly her courage! If you are looking to re-invent yourself, get out of a rut and/or grow in 2022, you will get a lot of wisdom from Norma. Born and raised in Detroit before moving to Los Angeles in 1993, Award-winning journalist and author Norma Zager returned to journalism after a 14-year stint as a stand up comic, playing Las Vegas regularly and opening for the biggest names in laughter. Her television and radio appearances on Food Network's Clash of the Grandmas, as guest host with Bobby Deen on The Food Network's Holiday Baking Championship and Hallmark Channel's Home and Family show have made her a favorite with audiences. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles from the Detroit area in 1993 she created Norma's 14 Karat Cookies to support herself and her children and was the first comedian to have her own comedy/cooking show in Las Vegas. Her celebrity clients have included Jerry Seinfeld, Arsenio Hall and Roseanne, who dubbed Norma's stuffed brownies, “my favorite thing to eat.” In 1999, Zager returned to journalism and accepted a position as a reporter at the Beverly Hills Courier newspaper. After nationally scooping all other media and breaking the story about Laura Schlessinger's mother's death combined with her in-depth coverage of other important stories, she was promoted to editor. When Erin Brockovich sued the city of Beverly Hills alleging an oil well on high school grounds was the cause of numerous cancers in former students, Zager's coverage and determination to print the truth garnered national attention. In 2003 she was awarded the Los Angeles Journalist of the Year and Best Investigative Reporter by the Los Angeles Press Club. The Wall Street Journal and The Columbia Journalism Review feted Zager's coverage in feature articles. Currently starring on NBC:s “Baking It” and co-hosting a weekly radio show about Israel has afforded her a worldwide audience. Her book, Erin Brockovich and the Beverly Hills Greenscam, released by Pelican Publishing in October 2010, is a cautionary tale about the dangers of ignoring environmental issues within one's community and offers tips and information about how to mitigate health problems. In it she describes the dangers inherent in allowing trial lawyers to police the environment and urges the public to take personal accountability for the health and safety of one's own family and community. The book has been used as a teaching tool in many university law classes. Zager, who graduated with a BA in journalism from Wayne State University, resides in Beverly Hills near her children, Laurie and husband Adam, and son Brad and grandchildren Ben and Sam. She also works freelance as a reporter, blogger, radio show host and writer. She also teaches Journalism part time at California State University Los Angeles. Currently co-hosting a weekly radio show about Israel and the Middle East has afforded her a world-wide audience. She remains a welcome guest on local, national and international radio, and is invited to speaking engagements across the country. Zager is also the author of two eBooks: Lila Luminosity and the Lipstick Murders, 2008 and Lila Luminosity and the Planet Christmas Murders, 2010.

On this episode, we talk allll the things about the show, her baking, and her experience on TV! This is an episode you WONT want to miss! Catch Sabrina here AND every Monday at 8 on Food Network to cheer her on!

It's Ho Ho Holiday time, y'all! You thought perhaps you'd have a day or two to digest your kid's Halloween candy before the holiday police were on the scene, and you were wrong! Toss those pumpkins and don your warmest socks because Food Network's taking us to winter town, and this train's ahead of schedule! There'll be donuts! And cakes! And cheese of the edible AND spoken variety (Oh, Jesse)... It's getting cold out there, so gather round and warm your hearts with us as we fall for another crop of bakers, curse pine nuts, and guess at which baker will prove to be the apple of the judges' eye.

Chef, author, and TV personality Carla Hall (Carla and the Christmas Cornbread, Holiday Baking Championship) plays a sly, surprising judge in this courtroom tale with roots in China and the Ozarks.

The holidays may have arrived, but that doesn't mean that Halloween is done with us just yet! Bakers of the world, the gremlins were out in full force this weekend and they descended on the house of Jen & Chris in ways we still don't yet fully understand. BUT, the show must go on and that meant a quick Live broadcast just minutes before the premiere of Holiday Baking Championship AND the return of the Wheel of Fate to determine our teams for the season! So, deck the halls, because it's Draft Day!

Today on the show: Atlanta Braves fans need a day off. Christian Jennings from WSB-TV with a horrible #Halloween story. Atlanta's own Sabrina Coombs joins us. She's set to compete in tonight's Holiday Baking Championship on Food Network. Plus, #MillennialMatchGame with Randi and Johnny Kielbasa with a Fast Food Review. And...ALL JAY -Z today to honor Jovita Moore! 4-7pm on 95.5 WSB. #preesh

This week Elizabeth & Anna M chat with DC native Executive Pastry Chef Padua Player (aka the Suga Chef), about baking for Joe Biden, issues surrounding food insecurity, and the importance of coming together as a community to help those in need. We discuss: How DC area food banks and non-profits are working to help at-risk families. The association between food insecurity and disordered eating and ways we can address this issue. How the covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated food insecurity for children and the steps we can take as a community or as individuals to help. Ways chefs, public health workers, medical providers, or retailers can work together to change the landscape so that more people have adequate access to healthy and nutrient-dense foods.

He won the 2013 Capital Food Fight’s High Stakes Cake Battle in DC, hosted by Duff Goldman. Following that success, he returned in 2014 and 2015 as a celebrity chef judge and appeared on Cooking Channel’s Cake Hunters in 2018. He has his own line of gourmet desserts and has provided his sweet delicacies to countless celebrity clientele. Chef Padua also lends his time and talents to Child of Mine and DC Central Kitchen.

Career advertising and marketing executive Jeff Gray approached the end of his marketing career by starting a small business, Papa Bear Bakery, from his home in Atlanta, Georgia. It wouldn’t take long for him to be discovered by The Food Network, who found him on Instagram and invited him to join their 2020 show “Holiday Baking Championship.” And the rest is history.

We're not ready for it to be over!! With the year that we've all had, it's hard to believe we've already reached the end of this season of Holiday Baking Championship! But, that doesn't mean this episode was all raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. The return of the sudden death face-off and a main heat advantage straight out of Krampus's sack set the Twitterverse (and our souls) on fire. But, in the end, we celebrate ALL of these incredible bakers, send a much deserved congrats to Kim's adorable home baker/champion, and give thanks to Food Network for giving us this small bit of joy in a year full of darkness! Happy Merry Everything, y'all!

In a year that has felt like one long Blursday, it's almost hard to believe that we've already reached the penultimate episode of Holiday Baking Championship 2020! It’s Classic Dessert week, so naturally the bakers are taking on a dish that no one’s ever heard of, the Charlotte Royale! HBC notches the festivity up to an 11 with a squishy brain cake dessert that has left our holiday spreads feeling woefully incomplete. Should all desserts be named after ladies? Are all desserts improved by booze? Is Lorenzo a baker NOT TO BE TRIFLED WITH? Join us for this hot take AND MORE.

Gay Atlanta baker Jamaal Nettles discusses how he’s gone from boxed cakes as a kid to Season 7 of the Food Network’s “Holiday Baking Championship,” living down being “single and ready to jingle” and death by a spreading cheesecake.

Happy Hanukkah! In this episode, Holiday Baking Championship indulges in some Gelty Pleasures that have some of our bakers channeling their inner Napoleons and turn the world upside down with a topsy-turvy, holiday fruit-filled main heat. Can an upside-down cake actually be made jolly? Will Julianna zamboni a camera man before the end of the season? Will donuts ever get the main heat respect they deserve? Throw that knife and fork aside and let's dig in with both hands!

It’s beginning to look a lot like the holidays as we enter the season of Advent calendars and “TOO MUCH”! Can Lorenzo’s Naughty surprise land him back on the Nice list? Is Jesse looking to expand the special skills section of his resume to include “Thespian”? And how in the name of Santa do these judges manage to keep down 21 bites of cheesecake? Put on your favorite pair of stretchy pants and let’s dig in!

Gay Atlantan Jeff Gray discusses his evolution from home baker to a contestant on Season 7 of Food Network’s “Holiday Baking Championship” and why lemon meringue pie pushes him to the brink of tears.

We have a bone to pick with Food Network and it's NOT the traditionally sought after wishbone. In this week's episode, our bakers are given the very UN-Friendsgiving challenge of baking in teams...against each other? First off, who came up with this very un-holiday challenge? What jerk brings glazed carrots to a Friendsgiving? And why on Earth couldn't we have Thanksgiving breakfast for dessert as our Main heat??! We tackle all this and more as we dig our forks into Thanksgiving one last time and bow to the ultimate cream corn puff!

All we do is PIE, PIE, PIE, no matter WHAT! We’ve got pies for days as the bakers attempt to fulfill Jesse (and Jen’s) insatiable appetite for all things flaky and gooey. Join us as we bid a fond (and, HOT TAKE, controversial) farewell to our “Santa from Atlanta”, explore the interesting dynamics of this year's judges table and find that even a McDonald’s Apple Pie can have a place in our hearts, if we just let it in…

Tall alligators (#talligators?), horny angry mongeese, and diving deep into the biggest Thanksgiving meal letdowns. Then we've got Aida Osman on the pod as our guest complainer. Aida is a comedian, writer, and cohost of the podcast Keep It! They also broke open a bottle of wine at noon just for this interview, so you know it's gonna be good. For DBWP this week, we're highlighting the amazing work of Universe City NYC. You can check out their site to find out how to donate or volunteer. Bari's been watching How To with John Wilson on HBO and Matt's been watching nothing, with a side of Holiday Baking Championship.

WHEEL....OF....DEEE-SSERTTTS! In this week's episode, the bakers step up to the big wheel o'fate to find out what holiday ingredient they'll be using to spice up their holiday desserts and inadvertently send Jen & Chris's entire family into anaphylaxis (nuts! seeds! mangoes!). Complete with a backstory from the Santa from Atlanta that left not a single dry eye in the house, this episode tested our bakers' ability to think on their feet and warm the judges' hearts. Join us as we fall deeper in love with this holiday crew and further away from the correct pronunciation of Curacao.

Anyone else discover 30 minutes into this episode that they were in for not one, but TWO hours of holiday baking goodness? But, has this gift been brought by Santa or by Krampus?! Join us as we put on a cozy winter hat, pull up a plate of "quick breads" (whatever the hell those are?), meet our beloved bakers for the first time and place the producers firmly onto the naughty list for sending TWO of them home in the season premiere of Holiday Baking Championship!

Well on this episode of WTF? - Where’s the Food?, Chef Sarah Tafur from the Food Network Holiday Baking Championship joins Nick in studio to talk about her experience on the show, how hard is it to face the judges every week and of course, she lives here in Miami and she’s opening up a cake shop in Miami Shores, so Nick had to find out when we could expect those cakes and so much more (2:12). Then, Nick gives you this week’s #FoodNews (18:12) and this week’s #FoodPorn of the week (21:01). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thefoode/support

Join the ReWatchable hosts as they continue their re-watch with Sense8 season 2, episode 6, “Isolated Above, Connected Below.” Superfans: Mitch and Danielle Newbies: Caitlin and Natalie Fun Facts: Danielle is really excited about her new podcasting microphone. Natalie finally started watching the new iteration of Queer Eye and is really enjoying it. Caitlin is currently finding some (much-needed) happiness in mainlining Holiday Baking Championship on the Food Network. Mitch is crying over the interview between Harry Styles and Timothée Chalamet. Sense8 season 2, episode 6, “Isolated Above, Connected Below” – Synopsis – Wait, wait, wait. How did the rave happen? What was the plan and who was ACTUALLY there at the rave? – Like Jupiter Ascending, Sense8 is very much wish fulfillment and we should just not question this. – Let’s talk about Puck, baby. – Puck makes Felix look like he should always be walking around in a tuxedo. – Natalie is 100% here for Mr. Hoy. – We can imagine the sensates in a variety of different genres because their story covers so many aspects of the human experience. – Who is the Cannibal? – Riley is told to go to Chicago… Alone. Why? – Nomi gets called out as being narcissistic and we all kind of agree on that point. She could’ve waited 15 minutes, heard her sister out, and not run away from the dress fitting in her underwear to go stomp around the ruins of a cabin in the woods. – Raoul burns down the cabin, but we can’t decide how he was being controlled. – Seriously, what is UP with Angelica and why is she the WORST? – Sun’s dog crying was the worst thing that happened in this episode because SHE’S SO PRECIOUS. – We take a detour and talk about London, Primrose Hill, and where exactly Riley and Will are squatting (which is SUPER exciting for those who have never been to London). – Lito does the São Paulo Pride Parade and it’s so lovely. – Capheus 2.0 is the right iteration of Capheus to run for political office. Capheus 1.0, not so much. – Zakia’s pansexuality is a really interesting layer to add to the show at this point. – Capheus’ mom’s stride of pride is definitely note-worthy. – The Kalagang sex scene is *very* uncomfortable and we hated every minute of it. – Kala’s “fantasy” is really problematic here. – The Kalagang ship isn’t sailing here. At. All. – Lila kills a LOT of people. – Favorite Scenes – Favorite Lines Listener Feedback: – This is the Queer Place points out another great line from last week’s episode. – We get an email from a listener going through our Buffy the Vampire Slayer round who has some thoughts on the rules of vampirism. And we have a lot of our own thoughts in return. Caitlin’s Conjectures and Fisher’s Forecasts: – Sense8 season 2, episode 7, “I Have No Room in My Heart for Hate”
