To wrap up Remake Month....we decided to play a little board game!

Jake Bhardwaj joins Yiannis Cove to defend Jumanji (1995) — the Robin Williams classic full of jungle chaos, giant bugs, and board game nightmares. We dive into childhood nostalgia, the film's surprisingly dark themes, and whether it still holds up nearly 30 years later.
The boys messed up. They thought Jumanji was going to be a Movie Remake Showdown, but in fact, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is an honest to goodness sequel to the original! Therefore, this will be a One Two Challenge. Today we review Jumanji from 1995, and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle from 2017Support the showCatch new episodes of the Where to Stick It Podcast every Tuesday and Thursday.

Big Rich, TD, and Fletch recap yesterday's Meet Every Listener event in Santee — where the crew shook every hand, heard every story, and somehow kept TD from bringing up Dancing with the Stars (almost). Then, the great debate: should you actually eat the first pancake off the griddle, or is it doomed to be the sacrificial “test pancake”? Finally, the guys imagine what it would be like to get dropped into any movie and start living that life. Would Rich survive Gladiator? Would TD pick Top Gun just for the jacket? Would Fletch immediately regret his choice of Jumanji? Does Kat even pick a movie we've heard of?
THE HEIRARCHY OF POWER IN THE DCEU IS ABOUT TO CHANGE!! Black Adam Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With James Gunn's Superman in Theatres & Streaming on VOD + the recent updates regarding Man of Tomorrow, Lanterns, Supergirl, & More, Andrew & Tara CONTINUE their DCEU Marathon giving their Black Adam Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review! Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) & Tara Erickson (The Rage Pod) react to the explosive 2022 DCEU superhero blockbuster Black Adam, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Jungle Cruise, The Shallows) and starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (Fast & Furious, Jumanji) as Teth-Adam / Black Adam, the ancient antihero unleashed in the modern world. With his god-like powers and uncompromising sense of justice, Black Adam's arrival shakes the foundations of the DC Universe. The film also stars Aldis Hodge (One Night in Miami, Leverage) as Carter Hall / Hawkman, leader of the Justice Society; Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye, Mamma Mia!) as the mystical Kent Nelson / Doctor Fate; Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I've Loved Before, The Recruit) as Atom Smasher; Quintessa Swindell (Trinkets, Master Gardener) as Cyclone; Sarah Shahi (Sex/Life, Person of Interest) as freedom fighter Adrianna Tomaz; and Marwan Kenzari (The Old Guard, Aladdin) as the villainous Ishmael Gregor / Sabbac. Among the film's most talked-about moments are Black Adam's brutal introduction, the Justice Society's breathtaking battles against him, and the post-credits cameo featuring Henry Cavill as Superman, which had fans buzzing about the future of the DCEU. With electrifying action sequences, mythological backstory, and The Rock's intense performance, Black Adam remains one of the most debated entries in DC's cinematic legacy.

"Is it School of Rock, High Fidelity, or Jumanji? What truly defines Jack Black's most iconic performance?"Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive headfirst into The Ringer's list of the 101 Best Movie Performances of the 21st Century, picking up at #73 and working their way through a cinematic rollercoaster of debate, nostalgia, and hilarious hot takes.From Jack Black's soulful scream in School of Rock to Val Kilmer's noir turn in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, the crew passionately (and sometimes chaotically) breaks down each actor's most memorable role. Expect fiery disagreements, unexpected praise, and side-splitting commentary. Whether it's Tom Hanks surviving solo in Cast Away or Robert Pattinson's gritty performance in Good Time, this episode is a masterclass in movie nerdery—served with a heavy dose of comedy and chemistry that only this crew can deliver.

What does it take to bring rental models into the world of large household appliances (white goods) and why might this be a key step in scaling the circular economy?In this episode of HappyPorch Radio, we're joined by Valentin Lheureux, COO of HomeCycle, a French startup pioneering rental for washing machines, dryers, fridges, and other essential “white goods.”Valentin shares his journey from working in retail to founding HomeCycle, motivated by the unsustainable pressures he saw in the linear economy. He explains why tackling rental for large appliances is so challenging, what customers really want, and how partnerships with manufacturers could change the industry for good.✨ In this episode:Valentin explains how customer demand is shifting, with convenience, repair, and simplicity driving adoption of appliance rental.We discuss the unique financing challenges of white goods rental and why partnering directly with manufacturers is the “royal way” forward.Valentin shares how HomeCycle approaches repair and refurbishment to extend product lifetimes and make rental a compelling alternative to ownership.We explore the difference between B2C and B2B customers, from families to co-living spaces and student accommodation.Valentin reflects on why HomeCycle chose the “hard path” of big appliances and their ambition to become France's leading rental specialist.We consider the tech gap and why existing rental software doesn't yet fully support circular models.

Sony made a sequel to Jumanji, that sad Robin Williams movie from the ‘90s, 22 years later? And it made a billion dollars? And everyone liked it?? It's true. And as a result, every time a movie studio makes a questionable legacy sequel this is why. They're telling themselves: “It worked with Jumanji.” It's why Disney is putting out a Tron movie this year. Well, the thing is, the movie needs to be good! And Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle IS good. It's a very likable and winning comedy. It's just kind of a lackluster blockbuster. But what a fun cast! The Rock is once again able to have fun playing a guy who feels very awkward looking like The Rock. Kevin Hart is very funny, Karen Gillan kicks ass, and Jack Black gives maybe his best ever performance. Nick Jonas is also here. And this movie has us asking the big questions. What makes you you and me me? Are our personalities completely predetermined? Do NPCs have a right to privacy? If you're popular in high school, will you be popular for the rest of your life? And are dicks just the tits of the man? There's also an unexpected 10-minute Blade Runner digression. The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long!

It's Stuart's greatest fear, getting Jumanji'd into one of his board games. But wait a second... is getting Jumanji'd when you go into the game or when the game comes out of the game to you? This 1995 adventure film stars Robin Williams as Alan Parrish who has been sucked into a board game trying to survive the jungle for the past 26 years only to find out he must finish the game he started. This movie lived on a bunch of millennials VHS shelves!

BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL?? I Still Know What You Did Last Summer Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Start your online business with a $1 per-month trial when you visit https://www.shopify.com/rejects! With the 2025 Reboot having its premiere this week, the Roxy & Coy are BACK for I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis & Full Spoiler Review!! Roxy Striar and Coy Jandreau dive into the sun-drenched horror of I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998), the chilling slasher sequel to the 1997 hit. Directed by Danny Cannon, the film follows Julie James (Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ghost Whisperer, Party of Five) as she tries to move on from the terrifying events of the first movie—only to find that the hook-wielding killer is still haunting her life. When Julie and her best friend Karla (Brandy, Moesha, Cinderella) win an all-expenses-paid trip to a secluded island resort, the vacation quickly spirals into another blood-soaked nightmare. Returning alongside Julie is Ray (Freddie Prinze Jr., She's All That, Scooby-Doo), who suspects the contest is a setup. New faces include Karla's boyfriend Tyrell (Mekhi Phifer, 8 Mile, Dawn of the Dead), the creepy resort manager Mr. Brooks (Jeffrey Combs, Re-Animator), the oddball porter Estes (John Hawkes, Winter's Bone, Deadwood), and Jack Black (School of Rock, Jumanji) in a stoner cameo that's become a cult favorite. Muse Watson (NCIS, Prison Break) returns as the menacing Ben Willis, seeking revenge for his past. This sequel features several highly searched and infamous scenes, including the stormy resort massacre, the tanning bed suspense sequence, and Julie's iconic "I will survive!" scream. With tropical isolation, rising body counts, and a twist ending, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer amps up the slasher stakes while revisiting the trauma of its predecessor.

What's better than one Robin Williams movie? Two, right? WRONG. Our return to New Hampshire was a two-for-none deal where 'The World According To Garp' frustrated us and then 'The Rules of Attraction' left a bad taste in our mouths... you could say it left us In The Mouth of Madness - which is what we should have just watched twice, instead.

This week Malia joins the show once again! We're discussing Jumanji from 1995 and try out one of the newest releases from Nelson's Greenbrier. This is their 8 year old Tennessee Rye whiskey coming in at 90 proof. We try it side by side with Nelson Bros Rye to see which one comes out on top. We also dive into the father son dynamics of Jumanji and more. Listen to hear if this movie holds up for us. Cheers!
Which would rather live in?
This week, EJ worries about the fact that people didn't understand a Simpsons episode and now he has thoughts about media literacy. There's some talk about a great video game that he doesn't have time to play, and the Franchise Report takes it to the titular next level with the Jumanji sequel. Probably going to be all Superman talk for the next couple of weeks, so enjoy a variety of topics while you can!
Ken and Stephanie discuss their weekend away at a wedding, dealing with rude hotel employees, going back to Ken's hometown, the Jumanji 30th Anniversary celebration, a trip to Vermont, the Netflix doc :Poop Cruise and more! This isn't a walking one for anyone concerned lol
In this week's episode, I take a look at the frozen pizzas that I enjoyed in 2025, and give my recommendations for the best frozen pizzas. This coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store: WARDEN25 The coupon code is valid through July 14, 2025. So if you need a new ebook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 256 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is June 20th, 2025 and today we are looking at my favorite frozen pizzas from Winter and Spring 2025. Before we get to our main topic, we'll have Coupon of the Week, an update on my current writing progress, and then we will do Question of the Week this week. First up, let's do Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebooks in the Dragontiarna series at my Payhip store, and that coupon is WARDEN25. This coupon code is valid through July 14th, 2025. So if you need a new series of really long ebooks to read for this summer, we have got you covered and as always, the links to the store and the coupon code will be included in the show notes. Now for an update on my current writing and audiobook projects. As I mentioned before, I want Summer 2025 to be my Super Summer of Finishing Things because I want to finish The Shield War, Stealth and Spells, and Ghost Armor series this summer before I start on new things. I'm pleased to report that I have reached a milestone of that. The rough draft of Shield of Power is done at 101,000 words. This will be the sixth and final book in the Shield War series. I am currently writing A Consort of Darkness, which will be a short story that newsletter subscribers will get a free copy of in ebook form when Shield of Power comes out. I am also 109,000 words into Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest and hopefully that will come out very quickly after Shield The Power is out. I'm also 10,000 words into Ghost in the Siege, which will likewise be the sixth and final book in the Ghost Armor series. In audiobook news, recording is still underway for Ghost in the Corruption, which will be narrated by Hollis McCarthy and Shield of Battle, which will be narrated by Brad Wills. Hopefully we will have some more updates on that soon and I don't think it'll be too much longer before both audiobooks are out and available. 00:02:02 Question of the Week Now let's go to Question of the Week. Question of the Week is intended to inspire enjoyable discussions of interesting topics. This week's question: when was the last time you went to an actual movie theater to see a movie? No wrong answers, including “I don't go to movie theaters.” As you can guess, we had a range of responses on this one. Justin says: Last month we saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail (fifty year release) in the theater. Yes, we have the DVD. David says: I guess Dune Two is the last time I went to a theater. For the price of going to the theater, I can wait and stream it later. If I don't like the price, I can even wait a few years. I'm not so quick to give them my money. Haven't gone to the theater yet in 2025. Nothing called out to me. William says: Except for 2020-2021, I've been going to the movies frequently every year since the Hobbit movies first came out. It's not that my habits has changed, just that they started making the kind of movies I wanted to watch like Star Wars, Jurassic World, the Disney remakes, and so on. Before 2012, the last time I went was in 2006 for the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie. It probably helps that it's only two tickets each time and not four or five for a whole family. Randy says: Top Gun: Maverick. It was a throwback to the days when movies were fun to watch. Everything doesn't have to have a deeper meaning and make us think. Just have an unlikely crew of misfits take out the bad guys. Bonnie says: Last one was Mary Poppins Returns with granddaughter in Spring 2019. I can't see spending the price for a one time deal. Cheryl says: The last time I went to the cinema…when did American Beauty come out? That's how long ago it was and the movie was disappointing. Jenny says: Thunderbolts! I wish movies weren't so pricey. Elizabeth says: Last time I went to the movie theater was to see Jumanji 2 with my now husband as our first date because both of us are terrible at first date ideas. I don't know- if Elizabeth's first date with her now husband was Jumanji 2, it seems like that was a very successful first date. John says: War of the Rohirrim, December of last year. A different John says: Dune Two and A Complete Unknown are the only two I've seen in the theater in the last two years. In both cases it was because A: the movie deserved to be experienced completely, and B: there was someone I wanted to share it with. Otherwise, modern tech in the home works just fine. Michael says: Last movie I saw in an actual cinema was Avengers Infinity War, so that's going back a bit. I think the COVID lockdown just killed any desire to do so and haven't been back since. Michael [A different Michael than the one listed above] says: It has been years. For myself, the answer is quite simple. I went on May 31st to see Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning. The inspiration for this question was technological change. I only went to the theater twice in 2024, for Dune Part Two and The Fall Guy. In 2025, I've been to the theater twice so far, for Thunderbolts and Mission Impossible: Final Reckoning, but a long time ago when I was much younger and had far fewer demands in my time, I would usually go to the movies on Saturday afternoons if I saw something that looked at all interesting. I'd always go in the afternoons because afternoon matinees were cheaper and I usually preferred to spend Saturday night playing computer games anyway. Nowadays, like I said above, I only went twice in 2024 and twice in 2025 so far. I am not sure what changed. The obvious one is that I'm old enough to have enough to do week to week that giving up three hours on a Saturday afternoon can often be a problem. The other obvious answer is technological change in the form of streaming, which makes it a lot easier to see things at home and perhaps one's taste change as one gets older. For example, there is no way I would go to the theater to see the Minecraft movie, though I would probably watch it on streaming when it rolls around (and I did in fact watch it in streaming last week and thought it was pretty good. It'll be in my next Movie Roundup.) So that is it for Question of the Week. 00:05:52 Main Topic: Winter/Spring/Summer 2025 Frozen Pizza Roundup Now onto our main topic this week, my Spring/Summer 2025 Frozen Pizza Roundup (though I suppose I've been working on this long enough that it should be the Winter/ Spring/Summer 2025 Frozen Pizza Roundup). I suppose it is a bit odd to talk about frozen pizza on a podcast ostensibly dedicated to indie publishing and indie writing, but I like frozen pizza and it's my podcast, so if I want to talk about frozen pizza, I'm going to talk about frozen pizza. Besides my previous pizza review roundup episode was pretty popular, so that's why I decided to do another one. Unlike a movie roundup, the pizza reviews will be in chronological order based on when I ate them. The grades are, as always, totally subjective and based on my own opinions. I'll also be rating the pizza by eating it hot and eating it cold, since cold pizza is a different experience than hot pizza. Cold pizza for lunch the next day is something to look forward to, especially during a busy day. I should also mention that I purchased each pizza myself with my own money. No one sent me any free stuff, so while my opinion may be subjective, it is nonetheless unbiased. Additionally, I exactly follow the preparation directions for each pizza since I wanted to avoid the phenomenon you sometimes see on recipe blogs where a commenter complains that a recipe didn't work and then admits that they took out the butter, cut the sugar in half, replaced the flour with corn starch, and substituted canola oil for frosting. So with those disclaimers, disclosures, and caveats out of the way, on to the pizzas. The first one is Orv's Ultimate Rizer Three Meat Pizza, which I had on February 28th, 2025. Orv's is a pizza brand owned by Minnesota based pizza maker Bernatello's. In the last pizza roundup, I mistakenly said Bernatello's was based in Wisconsin (though they do in fact have numerous Wisconsin facilities) and Bernatello's also owns many different pizza brands I have mentioned the last roundup. I had never tried Orv's before, so I thought I would give it a try. Eaten hot, the sausage, Canadian bacon, and pepperoni are quite good, as are the cheese and sauce. However, the crust really is quite bready and kind of overwhelmed the other tastes. This is a thick crust pizza and to be honest, I really prefer thin crust because it's generally less caloric and the crust has a greater chance to work in harmony with the other flavors and not overpower them. Eaten cold, it's pretty much the same experience. This is definitely a pizza that would benefit from a bit of added oregano, garlic salt, or perhaps other spices. Overall, I do think I strongly prefer Bernatello's Brew Pub Lotzza Motzza pizza instead of Orv's, though I should mention that Orv's is in fact quite a bit cheaper. Overall Grade: C+ The next pizza is the Red Baron Four Meat Classic Crust Pizza, which I ate on March 7th, 2025. Red Baron is a frozen pizza brand that started in 1976 by the Schwan's Frozen Food Company of Minnesota. Currently, Schwan's is owned by a large Korean conglomerate. Whatever one might think of large corporate consolidation, the fact that the stylized World War I fighter pilot mascot of a Minnesota company is now owned by a Korean conglomerate is kind of hilarious in an absurdist sort of way. Anyway, the pizza! Eaten hot, I liked the crust. It was a bit thicker than usual for thin crust pizza, but it was crisp and didn't get bready. The sauce was a bit sweeter than usual, but I still liked it. The various meats and the cheese were good as well. Eaten cold, it's still pretty good. The cheese and sauce set well and remained flavorful. Overall Grade: B+ Our next pizza is Good and Gather Pepperoni Pizza, which I had on March 14th, 2025. Store brand foods can be hit or miss, like if you go to a big box grocery store and they have their own store brand of essentials like coffee and cereal and bread and so forth. And as I said, those can be really hit or miss since it depends on the company that is actually supplying the food to the store. That said, I've had good results with Good and Gather, which is the store brand of Target, which is a major big box retailer in the United States. So I thought I'd give the Good and Gather Pepperoni Pizza a try. Eaten hot, I was pleasantly surprised. The crust was crisp, the cheese and sauce were good (if not outstanding), and the pepperoni was flavorful. A good workman like frozen pizza. Eaten cold, it still tastes quite good. An important detail is that this is a good deal cheaper than many of the more premium pizza brands I have mentioned in these pizza roundups. So I would say this is a good solid option for the budget minded consumer. Overall Grade: B Next up we have Bellatoria's Ultra Thin Crust Meat Trio Pizza, which I ate on March the 21st, 2025. Bellatoria's is yet another brand of the Bernatello's Frozen Pizza Company, a frequent entry in these pizza roundups and it is a seems to be more of a premium brand compared to Orv's. It also has a less heavy load topping compared to Lotzza Motzza, which is another Bernatello's brand. Despite that, I quite like this one. Eaten hot, the crust was crisp and just a bit flaky in a good way and the cheese, sauce, and meat toppings were all good. Sometimes on a pizza you can't taste the crust. Other times you taste it too much, like with thick crust pizza, but I think this was a good crust that complemented the toppings, which were all flavorful. Eaten cold, it fares well. The thin crust doesn't get soggy and the meat and cheese remain flavorful. A very good pizza. I prefer a thin crust to a thick crust, but this was an excellent thin crust. Overall Grade: A Our next pizza is the Totino's Party Pizza Triple Meat, which I ate March 26th, 2025. Totino's was famously one of the first companies to make frozen pizza and it was later acquired by General Mills. These days, Totino's is mostly known for its pizza rolls, but they still put out small individual pizzas and for the sake of historical continuity, I decided to give it a try. It was okay. It definitely tasted like pizza, but it didn't compare to the stronger ones I've tried like Heggie's or Pothole Pizza. You do need to cook it for a long time for the crust to be adequately crispy and not soggy. I didn't bother to try it cold since I didn't think it would be improved, and this is definitely a pizza where you might want to add some oregano or garlic salt. Its biggest advantage is that it's quite inexpensive, a cheap meal, but don't expect too much. Overall Grade: C+ Next up is Authentic Motor City Pizza Company Three Meat Pizza, which I had on March 28th, 2025. Authentic Motor Pizza Company is owned by the Ilitch billionaire family of Michigan who are the original founders of Little Caesar's Pizza. This pizza is a Detroit style pizza, which is essentially a square pizza cooked in a square pan with a thick crust and lots of cheese. The square shape comes from the fact that Detroit style pizza was originally cooked in a car oil drip pan since the commercially available pans at the time weren't suitable for the pizza. There is some dispute about what actually happened, but it seems Detroit style pizza started at a restaurant called Buddy's Rendezvous in the 1940s, which later became the local Michigan pizza chain Buddy's Pizza. I have to admit, I was originally only vaguely aware of Detroit style pizza, but in 2019 I went to the Detroit area for a funeral and had dinner at Buddy's Pizza, which was amazing. (There was also a guy getting arrested in the parking lot at the time, but thankfully that did not affect the dining experience.) If your travels ever take you to the Detroit area, you should definitely try Buddy's Pizza. Anyway, so after all this, when I happened across a Detroit style frozen pizza, I decided I needed to give it a try. Eaten hot, it is quite good. As I've said before, I'm generally not a fan of thick crust pizza, which this is, but it's a good thick crust, crispy on the edges and bottom without being bready or chewy. The toppings are all excellent, which is helped by the fact that the sauce is good and has a good garlic flavor to it. I was curious how it would hold up when eaten cold and I actually liked it a bit better than when it was hot. The cheese sets well and then everything holds together and so it's a very substantial, very tasty cold pizza. This is good pizza, though that said, I still prefer a thinner crust because the Detroit style of pizza is delicious, but dang, is it a heavy meal. Overall grade: A Next up is Pothole Kitchen Sink Pizza, which I ate on April 4, 2025, and this is another pizza from the Midwestern convenience store chain Kwik Trip and features pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions, and red and green peppers. I really like this one, like the other Pothole varieties I've tried. It's quite good: good crust, good cheese, good sauce, and very flavorful toppings. This has a slight advantage over my other favorite version, the Pothole Meat Sweats Pizza, since the lesser amount of meat means it isn't as greasy. Eaten cold, it is likewise quite good. I think this ties with the Meat Sweats Pothole Pizza. They both represent excellent versions of two different pizza experiences. If you don't want mushrooms and vegetables on your pizza, get the Meat Sweats, but if you do want vegetables, go for the Kitchen Sink. Overall grade: A+ Next up is Heggie's Six Pack Pizza, which I tried on April 11th, 2025. This is another pizza from Minnesota company Heggie's, which had one of my favorite pizzas of the last roundup. Heggie's Six Pack Pizza comes with sausage, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, regular bacon, mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese. Let's just say if you're eating this, you probably don't have a six pack. Anyway. Eaten hot, it was quite good. I like the thin crust and all the meat was good. I would say the biggest weakness is that you can mostly taste the cheese and the Canadian bacon since they kind of drown out all the other flavors. Eaten cold, I would say it tastes better. You can taste all the individual toppings. The cheese, sauce, and crust are pleasant when cold as well. This was a good pizza, but I do like the pepperoni only version better since I think the taste is superior. Overall grade: A- Next up is the Tombstone Tavern Style Meat Crumble Pizza, which I had on May 2nd, 2025, and this is a more upgraded version of the basic model Tombstone pizza with thinner crust, slightly different cheese, and a mixture of pepperoni and crumbled pork sausage. Honestly, it tasted about the same as the standard model Tombstone. The crust and meat were slightly better, but I thought the sauce was rather watery. Eaten cold, it was better since the watery flavor of the sauce wasn't as strong. That said, I do think the standard model Tombstone pizza is a better pizza. Overall grade: B- Then we had a bit of a gap here because I had basically tried most of the pizza brands that I actually wanted to try for this review. There are some more lower cost brands out there, but I figured they'd be mostly similar to the cheaper ones I already tried. Then I came across the final pizza for this review roundup, Screamin' Sicilian Mountain of Meat, which I had on June 6th, 2025. This is another pizza from the Screamin' Sicilian line, which is part of the Palermo Pizza Company of Wisconsin. I tried an all pepperoni version for the last pizza roundup and thought it was pretty good. It got an A-. I decided to try the Mountain of Meat, which has pepperoni, sausage, ham, and bacon, and has a stone fired crust. I liked it better than the all pepperoni version. The different meats blend together well, and I think this version of the crust is quite a bit better. It's a little bit thicker, but still quite crispy. Eaten cold, it likewise holds up quite well. The spiciness of the meat remains flavorful even when cold and the cheese holds it all together. Overall grade: A So to sum up after two pizza review posts, here are my favorites. Overall favorites: Pothole Meat Sweats and Pothole Kitchen Sink. Excellent strong runners-up: Heggie's Pepperoni Pizza, Lotzza Motzza, Bellatoria, and the Screamin' Sicilian Mountain of Meat. The downside of all these choices is that they tend to be expensive, usually $10 US or above. So with that in mind, here are best my choices for the best budget options, which would be Tombstone Pepperoni & Sausage and Target's Good & Gather Pepperoni. Also, one advantage of frozen pizza is that you can add spices to flavor the taste. I found that frozen pizza in general frequently benefits from the addition of oregano or perhaps a dusting of garlic powder. So if you are looking for some frozen pizza, hopefully this will help you find one. So that is it for this week. Next week I promise we will go back to writing and publishing topics instead of pizza.

Director Joe Johnston, who worked in design and VFX for George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, is best known for effects-heavy family pics like Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, The Rocketeer, and Jumanji. But in 1999, he tried his hand at the “based on a true story” inspirational biopic genre, based on the early life of NASA engineer Homer Hickam, as told in Hickam's memoir Rocket Boys. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Chris Cooper, Chris Owen, and Laura Dern, the film tells the story of a coal miner's son who was inspired by the launch of Sputnik in 1957 to take up rocketry with a group of friends against his father's wishes. A critical and commercial success, the anagramically-titled October Sky sounds stellar. But over two decades later, does it still shoot for the moon, or is it a dud?

Grab the dice and watch out for monkeys, because we're diving headfirst into the stampede of sound, spectacle, and emotional storytelling that is Jumanji (1995). It's a jungle-in-a-box, people! Vines through the ceiling, carnivorous plants in the kitchen, and a board game that makes Monopoly look like a nap. Robin Williams swings in as a man-child with jungle PTSD, Bonnie Hunt brings the therapy and the sarcasm, and two traumatized kids have to survive a suburban safari of crocodiles, monsoons, and—you guessed it—giant freakin' mosquitoes. Roll those dice, face your fears, and join us as we crack open this wild '90s time capsule—because in Jumanji, the only way out… is through. Did you enjoy the episode?
