He praises the voice cast: Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, Jonah Hill, and Brad Pitt. Characters, Casting, and Voice Performances (10:40 - 21:04) Discussion of the main characters and voice actors: Will Ferrell as Megamind praised for his comedic timing. Tina Fey as Roxanne Ritchi, the strong Lois Lane archetype. Music and Soundtrack (21:04 - 26:00) Soundtrack by Hans Zimmer and Lauren Balfe well received for blending classic superhero score with many rock needle drops. Noted needle drops include 'Highway to Hell,' 'Back in Black,' 'Crazy Train,' and 'Bad to the Bone.' Supporting Characters and Humor (26:00 - 31:27) Minion, Megamind's pet, is highlighted as a great comic sidekick balancing Krypto and Otis-type roles. The film's dense joke rate is praised in comparison to sitcom qualities. Plot and Story Structure Evaluation (31:27 - 41:28) Discussion appreciates that the Superman analog Metro Man faking his death and quitting is a strong story beat.

Cultural and Industry Context (51:29 - 58:56) Megamind's release context: 2010, alongside Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, and before MCU dominance. Positioned as a parody, deconstruction, and love letter to superhero genre before the MCU explosion. Closing Remarks and Tribute (58:56 - 01:07:01) Recognition of Patreon supporters and invitation to join. Tribute to actor Terence Stamp (General Zod in Superman films) who passed away on recording day.

Strong voice cast (10:40 - 18:00) Notable performances, especially Will Ferrell as Megamind and Tina Fey as Roxanne Ritchi. Jonah Hill's character adds a darker twist on typical sidekick tropes. Numerous classic rock needle drops (22:30 - 23:00) A hallmark of DreamWorks animated movies aimed at older kids and adults. ️ Fight sequences and choreography (26:58 - 27:30) Surprisingly well-executed and impactful, elevating the animated action to near live-action standards. Tight story structure (31:27 - 34:00) Well-paced with a high joke-per-minute ratio making it enjoyable for multiple viewings. ️ Megamind's character arc (41:28 - 51:29) From villain to hero effectively supported by strong thematic elements, including friendship, identity, and redemption. Movie fits well in the 2010 superhero context (51:29 - 58:56) Before the MCU boom, making it a timely and insightful satire and love letter to superhero media. Legacy and community engagement (58:56 - 01:07:01) Tribute to Terence Stamp and encouragement for listeners to join broader fandoms through podcasts and social media.

Dave reveals his brands' revenue numbers from Prime Day and talks about what the overall experience was for sellers on Prime Day, from large aggregators to smaller sellers. Did the transition from a two-day to a four-day format make more money than last year? Did it cause a dip? We examine whether Amazon's claims were BS in today's episode. Get mystery shopped for your brand and 2 competitors of your choice FOR FREE! Stord will provide a detailed report that outlines the specific areas you are out performing your competitors and where your competitors are outperforming you. Learn how your consumers truly experience your brand today! Last year, Amazon's Prime Day results were lukewarm across the board with sellers seeing a 1.5x - 2x increase in sales except for a select few.  How was this year's Prime Day?  Well, Amazon claims that Prime Day 2025 was the biggest prime day ever compared to previous years. But is it really?  With Prime Day done and dusted, Dave reveals his brands' revenue numbers during the big shopping holiday to share how his experience was.  Dave also shares how 10 anonymous brands from various revenue numbers did during Prime Day, with data taken from SellerSnooper. Are Amazon's claims BS? Or are they technically correct? We find out in today's episode.  The Big Takeaway Initial reports indicated a 40% dip in Day 1 sales. Amazon claims that Prime Day 2025 was the biggest Prime Day ever.  8 out of 10 tracked companies saw sales gains during Prime Day, but how big were they?  Sellers reported varied performance, with some seeing modest gains. Many sellers felt Prime Day performance was average this year. Sellers should definitely be cautious about discounting heavily during Prime Day.

We discuss the unexpected historical and cultural facets of Buddhism, how modern interpretations can often romanticise ancient practices, and whether Matt's mind has been blown. We also consider important issues like the Buddha's retractable penis, incredibly long tongue, and just how strongly we should condemn monks scribbling pictures of their would-be brides.
