The gang is back and ready to rumble! This week on Netflix vs. Cinema,Tosin, Sharon, and Holly host. While Shaun is away in Japan, the team wastes no time diving into the most anticipated—and controversial—release of the year: Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights. In this episode, we break down why this modern adaptation is causing a literary firestorm. From the "Mills & Boon" aesthetic to the aging up of teenage protagonists, we discuss whether this version captures the true spirit of the Brontë classic or if it's just a "toxic mess of misery" designed to win Oscars. In the Cinema: Wuthering Heights (2026): Is it an erotic masterpiece or just an over-the-top melodrama with too much rain? We give our brutal ratings. The Day the Earth Blew Up: Tosin reviews the new fully-animated Looney Tunes film starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig. Is the slapstick enough to sustain a 90-minute feature? On the Stream: Small Prophets (BBC iPlayer): Sharon raves about this quirky contemporary drama by MacKenzie Crook . Madam (Netflix): The team discusses the hilarious and empowering true story of an ethical brothel in New Zealand. Wuthering Heights (The Final Word): We discuss why a 6-hour TV mini-series might still be the best way to experience this story. Is Wuthering Heights a cinematic triumph or a literary crime? Join the debate in the comments on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook! Is Netflix killing cinemas? Each week we weigh up what we've seen in cinemas with what we've watched online at home and figure out which provided the best time. At least, we did before COVID jumped in and declared Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney + and friends the winner.

When you see the title 'Porky in Egypt' and you hear it's a cartoon from the 1930s, your hopes for that short being good might immediately dwindle, as you imagine just how racist it probably is. And certainly this cartoon is not exempt from such issues, but they take up a surprisingly small portion of the runtime. So what is the rest of the cartoon about? Trust me when I say that it's better for you to find out yourself!

Send a textA rye cube, a lemon twist, and a splash of absinthe set the night in motion. We open with the Sazerac, swapping notes between Boatwright's at Port Orleans and our own New Orleans–style build, then take that same love of craft into a wild thought experiment: which non‑Disney characters and worlds would thrive under Disney's storytelling?We start with the legends. Bugs Bunny and the Looney Tunes spark a debate about timeless comedy, park characters, and the kind of physical gags that make queues feel alive. From there, we slide into Scooby‑Doo hijinks, SpongeBob's Bikini Bottom, and Bedrock's bronto‑size charm—proof that retro IP can still deliver modern magic. Gaming and anime icons raise the stakes: Mario's jump‑happy momentum, Pikachu's collect‑and‑trade culture, Sonic's speed run energy, and Hello Kitty's soft‑power merch. Each brings interactivity, replay value, and social fun that match how guests actually play parks today.We push beyond cartoons into cinematic sandboxes. Imagine a mid‑century Mad Men lounge with proper cocktails and impeccable woodwork. Picture Ghostbusters as a show‑driven effects playground, a Die Hard‑inspired tower drop with narrative beats, and a Jurassic World zone that sells scale without screen fatigue. Then we go epic: Middle‑earth as a multi‑land dream with the Shire's warmth, Rivendell's serenity, and Mordor's percussion and heat; Wizard of Oz for technicolor wonder and storm‑tossed transitions; Willy Wonka for edible illusions, fizzy‑lifting laughs, and music that hums through the pathways. Along the way we weigh Transformers, King Kong's Monarch universe, Hunger Games, Smurfs, Popeye, Garfield, Jetsons, and G.I. Joe—asking where Disney's “story per minute” advantage can turn good IP into unforgettable place.It's part cocktail hour, part imagineering session, and all heart for the details that make parks sing: scent, light, texture, music, and a wink of humor. Tap play, then tell us your top three non‑Disney IPs you'd hand to Disney and why. If you're vibing with the show, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a quick review—it helps more Disney lovers find our little corner of magic. Cheers!

This week we are trying to balance dating and slaying while we discuss “Never Kill a Boy on the First Date”! We're talking how much Giles does not care about cute boys or cute boy drama, Xander somehow getting an invite to Girl's Night, how sadly The Master's air jiggling now has an explanation, and that performatively reading at lunch doesn't do as much for him as Owen seems to think. We wonder if planes have accordions, keep forgetting that we don't know Angel is a vampire yet, debate Looney Tunes watch vs. bespoke pocket watch for impressing girls, and embarrassing barricades.Send us an email at sunnydalenationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Instagram!

“Man of a Thousand Voices” Billy West has lent his unique talents to projects such as “Ren & Stimpy,” Matt Groening's “Futurama,” “Looney Tunes” cartoons and of course, “The Howard Stern Show,” where he won over longtime listeners with his savagely funny impressions of Larry Fine, former Stern show writer Jackie Martling and late Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott. In this classic episode, Gilbert and Frank rang up Billy at his home in Hollywood to compare notes on some of their favorite essential topics, including Bud Abbott, Gale Gordon, Peter Lorre, Al “Grandpa” Lewis, and the racism of "Dick Tracy" cartoons. PLUS: the true story behind the voice of Dr. Zoidberg! Billy jams with The Beach Boys! Jewish Frankenstein! Angry Munchkins! And Gilbert sings the theme song from “Problem Child”!

This week, Don and Jon strap on the 3D glasses (yes, those glasses) and descend into the neon-lit, cartoonish chaos of Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare. Was this supposed to be the final nail in the Elm Street coffin… or just a studio-approved cash grab wearing Freddy's glove? We slice into the film's troubled production, Rachel Talalay's wild swing at the franchise and Robert Englund's fully Looney Tunes style Freddy. We talk gimmicky 3D kills, did-we-need-them cameos, standout deaths and how this movie somehow laughed its way to box-office success while critics sharpened their knives. Is Freddy's Dead a misunderstood finale? A tonal nightmare? Or the moment the franchise tripped over its own punchline and face-planted into the dream world? We argue what works, roast what doesn't, drop trivia like bodies, and debate whether this one truly belongs near the bottom of the Elm Street pantheon. So pour yourself some coffee… because sleep is overrated. One, two, time to review...

The gang breaks down ScreenCrush's list of the Top 21 Worst Movies of the 21st Century. From Basic Instinct 2 losing its fastball (“They marketed the whole movie around whether she'd uncross her legs again…”), to a brutal takedown of Space Jam: A New Legacy (“Do kids today even know who the Looney Tunes are?”), to a surprisingly passionate discussion about Halle Berry's Catwoman (“Look, I support everything she does — but c'mon…”), the crew is firing on all comedic cylinders.

Matthew 5:1-12When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down, his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. I like to be right. Just ask Katelyn. Or better yet, ask Pastor Mark when he points out a grammatical error in my writing. Yes—the Oxford comma should be there.What's worse than liking to be right is having a toddler who also likes to be right. I hold up an orange and he declares it an apple. I say it's too cold to go to the park and he responds, “No it's not—it's perfect!” You get the picture.I imagine I'm not alone in this. We all like to be right. And our certainty—our confidence that we are right—can be far more dangerous than we realize.In 2008, a woman went to Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, a Harvard teaching hospital, one of the best in the world. She's taken back to the OR, put under, and the surgeon completes the surgery successfully. Everything went great…Until she woke up in recovery and realized the wrong side of her body had been stitched up. The surgeon had operated on her left leg instead of her right.When the hospital later explained how this happened, Kenneth Sands, a vice president, said this: “The surgeon began prepping without looking for the mark and, for whatever reason, he believed he was on the correct side.”We've all felt utterly right about something, only to discover later that the opposite was true. And more than we like being right, we hate realizing we're wrong. Now, an important clarification - Being wrong and realizing you're wrong are not the same thing. Kathryn Schulz uses an image from Looney Tunes to explain this. Wile E. Coyote chases the Road Runner straight off a cliff. He keeps running, completely confident, even though there's nothing beneath him. It's only when he looks down that he realizes he's in trouble.That's the difference. Being wrong is standing over thin air and thinking you're on solid ground. Realizing you're wrong is looking down and seeing there's nothing holding you up.This morning, I want to linger with just two of the Beatitudes. Not because the others don't matter—but because these two speak directly to the world we're living in right now. Our longing to be right, and our deep resistance to admitting we're wrong, sit at the heart of so much division: in our homes, our communities, our churches, our nation, and even within ourselves.And into that reality, Jesus speaks a word of blessing—a word that turns our fear, our hatred of being wrong into good news.Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. We know what it means to be hungry and thirsty. Those longings are part of being human. We hunger not only for food, but for connection, purpose, community, beauty, and joy.But to hunger for righteousness? That's not a phrase we use or even hear outside of this space. In fact, it's a word many of us avoid. It can sound pious, self-righteous, or just plain uncomfortable.And that's unfortunate… Because our discomfort with the word comes from confusion about what it means. Righteousness simply means being made right: made right with God, made right with others, and made right with yourself. Blessed, then, are those who long to be made right.Like the other Beatitudes, this one surprises us. Standing there on the mountainside, we might expect Jesus to say, Blessed are the righteous. Blessed are the ones who get it right. Blessed are the ones who already are right.But that's not how it goes. When people come to Jesus assuming they are righteous, he has a way of setting the record straight. It is those who come knowing they are wrong—those who long to be made right—who receive grace and mercy.The truth of the matter is this: we cannot make ourselves right with God, no matter how hard we try.All the praying, Bible reading, worshiping, serving, and learning in the world do not make us righteous before God. Rather, the Holy Spirit works through these practices to make us aware of the grace of Jesus. And that grace alone is what makes us right. Not our words nor our posts on Facebook. Not our deeds. Not our politics. Grace alone.Which is why Jesus finishes the Beatitude in the passive voice: for they will be filled.Those who recognize they are wrong, those who don't always get it right, those who long to be made right rather than clinging to the certainty that they already are - they will be filled. They will be made right with God, with others, and themselves.This is a blessing for those of us who get it wrong—who mess up, who don't always get it right.So much of what we see and hear around us—in our culture, in business, certainly in politics—tells us to do the opposite: never admit fault, double down, point fingers, claim victory at all costs, and insist that we are always right. But there is no hunger or thirst to be made right if we never admit that we're wrong. This blessing is for those who screw up - and can say so.What if this was our posture in the present moment, instead of the certainty that we are right?What if we moved through the world not with the desire to be right, but with the desire to be made right—not only with God, but with one another? What if we faced our spouses, our kids, our neighbors with the simple possibility that maybe… I'm wrong on this.Believe me, I'm preaching to myself here. How much better would your marriage be? Your relationship with your kids? How many friendships might be healed if we could say, “I was wrong. I'm sorry. I want this to be made right.”To error is to be human. So be human, admit you're human, and be blessed.And the best news comes with the Beatitude that follows: Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.Jesus meets our wrongness—our sin, our failure, our getting it wrong—not with contempt, not with an I told you so, but with kindness. With mercy. In this life, we expect being wrong to be met with punishment. But Jesus shows us another way. Instead of meeting our sin with punishment, he meets it with sacrifice, generosity, and mercy.And it is only because we have received mercy that we can extend mercy to others. We cannot give what we have not first received.So when someone comes longing to be made right—admitting they were wrong—it does no good to meet that honesty with harsh contempt or punishment. We resist this because we're afraid. Afraid mercy will be taken advantage of. Afraid kindness will be trampled on.And yet, what does the Lord require of us but to love kindness.We don't need to hate being wrong. Because when we admit we're wrong, we are not earning grace—we are simply telling the truth. And grace is already there to meet us.This week: look for one moment—just one—where you can say the words, “I was wrong. I'm sorry. I want this to be made right.” Say it to your spouse, your child, your neighbor, your pastors, or to God.Don't refute. Don't double down. Don't defend yourself. Instead, hunger and thirst to be made right.And then be surprised by the grace of Jesus that meets you there, fills you up, and says, I forgive you.In a world where leaders and institutions seem incapable of doing such a thing, this may be one of the strongest witnesses Christians can do in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who gives us mercy, makes us right, and blesses us: not in spite of our mistakes, but because of them.Amen.

We kick off FOLLOW UP by checking in on Elon Musk's personal dumpster fire, where the EU is investigating Grok for deepfake slop while Tesla's “unsupervised” robotaxis turned out to be supervised by literal chase cars — shocker. At least some of you are getting Siri settlement crumbs in your bank accounts, though you could probably double it betting against Musk's worthless promises on Polymarket.Transitioning to IN THE NEWS, Tesla is killing off the Model S and X to build robots while sales crater, proving that mixing hard-right politics with EV sales is a brilliant move for the balance sheet. Meanwhile, the corporate bloodbath continues with massive layoffs at Ubisoft, Vimeo (courtesy of the Bending Spoons buzzsaw), and Amazon, because “removing bureaucracy” is apparently HR-speak for 16,000 families losing their livelihoods. If that's not enough, Google is settling yet another privacy suit for $135 million, the EU is threatening to weaponize its tech sovereignty against the US, and the Trump administration wants Gemini to write federal regulations—because if there's one thing we want drafting airline safety rules, it's a hallucinating chatbot.Still IN THE NEWS, Waymo is under federal investigation for passing school buses and hitting children, while South Korea's new AI laws manage to please absolutely no one. Record labels are suing Anna's Archive for a cool $13 trillion—roughly three times the GDP of India—and the Winklevoss twins have finally admitted that NFTs are dead by shuttering Nifty Gateway.We pivot to MEDIA CANDY, where the Patriots and Seahawks are heading to Super Bowl 60, and the Winter Olympics are descending on Milan. We're doing the math on the Starfleet Academy timeline, celebrating the return of Ted Lasso and Shrinking, and trying to decide if Henry Cavill is the second coming of Timothy Dalton in the Highlander reboot. Plus, Jessica Jones is back in the Daredevil: Born Again trailer, and Colin Farrell's Sugar is returning to explain that wild noir twist we all totally saw coming.In APPS & DOODADS, the TikTok Armageddon is upon us as the new US owners break the app and drive everyone to UpScrolled, while Native Instruments enters insolvency, leaving our music-making dreams in restructuring limbo. Apple is dropping AirTag 2 with precision finding for your watch, which is great for finding the keys you lost while doom-scrolling.We wrap up with THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, featuring the new Muppets trailer and Steve Whitmire's deep thoughts on the state of the felt, plus a look at the artisans in Disneyland Handcrafted. Finally, Looney Tunes finds a new home on Turner Classic Movies, proving that the classics never die—they just move to a cable channel your parents actually watch. Dave finally learns about the Insta360 camera, a countertop dishwasher but no Animal Crackers, and a guide to gas masks and googles... for no particular reason.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.SquareSpace - go to squarespace.com/GRUMPY for a free trial.

An innocuous enough theme, cartoons with dogs and cats as the subject, brought Jordan and Marc to this episode. The majority of this episode contains the sort of Looney Tunes fare one would expect from the 50s, like a wild Sylvester in peril short called A Kiddie's Kitty, and an underrated McKimson short animated by just one guy, 'Pappy's Puppy'. But the third short, McKimson's 'Mixed Master' resulted in one of the strangest and most horrifying indications that any Looney Tunes short has set forth. Jordan and Marc thought they were prepared for it, and I don't think you will be either. Links:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on Instagram

Well Star Wars fans can continue to argue, because Kathleen Kennedy stepping down certainly wont stop them. But something to stop to listen to, is George RR Martin telling all to the Hollywood Reporter. Plus, Fallout Season 2 is not falling behind season 1, people just don't remember how TV works. Ubisoft decided to lay a big one on the gaming industry by cancelling another Prince of Persia game, and Netflix wants to keep WB movies on the big screen if the merger goes through. That and more on this weeks episode.

Last week Lucasfilm announced that Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down from her role as studio president, a position she has held since Disney's 2012 acquisition. Succeeding her are George Lucas' protégé and Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni, who will oversee the franchise's creative direction as co-president alongside former Lucasfilm General Manager Lynwen Brennan handling the business side of things. Kennedy still has an active hand as an executive producer of both Star War's next theatrical offerings: May's The Mandalorian & Grogu as well as 2027's Starfighter and will continue to produce other projects independently. Kennedy's tenure saw its fair share of highs and lows, especially contending with an often fickle fandom, but with multibillion dollar films under her belt her exit marks the end of an era.It was a surprisingly noteworthy MLK weekend box office– outside of Avatar: Fire & Ash's continuing reign, Marty Supreme became A24's top-performing film of all time with 80 million dollars domestically, surpassing Everything Everywhere All at Once, while Zootopia 2 became the highest-grossing animated film of all time globally with over 1.7 billion dollars, passing Inside Out 2. Meanwhile, Nia DaCosta's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple opened below expectations with just 15 million dollars over the four-day weekend, falling well short of the 30-million-dollar debut of its predecessor and behind tracking projections of 20 million dollars. Despite the horror sequel's muted debut, it's been an unusually robust box office this January.Netflix has revised its $83 billion dollar deal for Warner Bros. Discovery to an all-cash transaction valued at $27.75 dollars per share, simplifying the structure to provide greater certainty of value for shareholders and accelerate the path to a shareholder vote by April. The amended deal, unanimously approved by both boards, maintains the same per-share valuation while WBD stockholders will still receive additional value from shares of Discovery Global following its spinoff, with Netflix financing the deal through cash on hand, credit facilities and committed financing. This update comes on the heels of Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos' renewed promise to keep WB studio films in theaters for at least 45 days before hitting streaming.Prime Video has released a first look photo of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider series, which has begun production.Hans Zimmer, who has scored more than 500 movies and TV projects, will officially score the upcoming Harry Potter series for HBO Max in partnership with Bleeding Fingers Music, a composer collective that he co-founded.Sons of Anarchy star Ryan Hurst has been cast as main character Kratos in Amazon's upcoming God of War series, which is currently confirmed for two seasons and has begun pre-production. Teresa Palmer was also cast last week and will play Sif, Thor's wife and the goddess of family.Cate Blanchett has signed a deal to reprise her role as Viking warrior Valka in Universal Pictures' live-action How to Train Your Dragon 2.Warner Bros. has set Jorge R. Gutiérrez to direct an animated feature centering on the classic Looney Tunes character Speedy Gonzales, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.

We've got a new series to talk through movies that were snubbed for or didn't win major Oscars as we lead into awards season! We start off with a living Looney Tunes cartoon, which makes sense given that Looney Tunes based itself off these movies. The Marx Brothers were already comedy legends when this film came along, but director Leo Carey brings a dash of satire that makes for an incredible film, all wrapped up in under 70 minutes of run time. This isn't just a comedy, it's a masterpiece, and we're catching up on it today. Hail, hail Freedonia as we watch Duck Soup on Have a Good Movie!

En este episodio de Transpodcast nos salimos del carril tradicional y aceleramos a fondo con Jorge el Coco Cerón, fundador de Transportes Camelia y transportista originario de Chignahuapan Puebla. Jorge no es el típico empresario del autotransporte. Es de los que creen que un camión también comunica, vende y provoca conversación. Además de operar una empresa de carga exitosa, organiza arrancones de tráileres dos veces al año y se ha vuelto referencia por pimpear camiones con conceptos que rompen esquemas: desde Rico McPato, Thundercats y Looney Tunes, hasta una versión brutal estilo Mad Max. Aquí hablamos sin filtro de negocio, identidad, marketing sobre ruedas y de por qué pensar diferente —aunque incomode— puede ser una ventaja competitiva en el transporte. Humor, visión empresarial y mucha lámina bien trabajada. Si crees que todos los transportistas piensan igual, este episodio te va a desmentir en los primeros cinco minutos.

Send us a textThe new year starts with smoke: one of us is riding a playoff high, the rest are nursing heartbreak, and the AKAs won't stop. We trade shots over the SEC, relive a chaotic fourth quarter, and admit how much a single loss can hijack your week. Then the conversation widens from wins and losses to who gets seen, as hockey's growing diversity becomes a mirror for how culture shifts—slowly, messily, and sometimes beautifully—when kids find new lanes on the ice.And just when you think we can't swerve harder, we go full brain-bender. Is black the absence of light or just a pigment trick? Can you tell the lights are on with your eyes closed? We run a live test and tumble into the Mandela Effect: Fruit of the Loom's missing cornucopia, the Monopoly man's non-existent monocle, Looney Tunes vs. Looney Toons, and Pikachu's forever-yellow tail. It's science meets nostalgia with a side of collective delusion—hilarious, humbling, and weirdly bonding.Movies take the wheel as we rank favorite characters, celebrate horror icons like Pinhead, Michael Myers, and Jason, and debate superhero double-dips from Ryan Reynolds to Michael B. Jordan. We mourn the Blade x Underworld crossover that almost happened and shout out fresh releases—Primate, We Bury the Dead, and more. One of us logged 40-plus theater trips last year, so you know the reel talk is deep. It all adds up to a fast, funny ride through sports pain, memory glitches, and the films that keep us talking long after the credits roll.If you had to pick one movie character to ride for, who are you choosing and why? Tap follow, share this with a friend who swears the Monopoly man had a monocle, and leave a review so we can keep the debates rolling.Thanks for listening to the Nobody's Talking Podcast.

The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie (2025) - The Best Animated Film of 2025

Mike and Christian take on Kung Fu Hustle, the inventive martial-arts comedy that defined mid-2000s movie nights and still hits with the chaotic joy of classic 80s action comedies. We talk slapstick violence, Looney-Tunes physics, and why this movie feels like a perfect bridge between old-school kung fu films, 80s nostalgia, and modern absurdist humor.Expect laughs, hot takes, and a whole lot of affection for a movie that understood exactly how ridiculous it wanted to be.

Better Off Dead (1985) was chosen by supporter Susan, and it's one of the most distinctive teen comedies to come out of the mid-1980s. Written and directed by Savage Steve Holland, the film was conceived as a deliberately off-kilter alternative to the more conventional John Hughes–style comedies dominating the era. Holland drew heavily on surreal humor, cartoon logic, and exaggerated visual gags, aiming to make a live-action movie that felt closer to a Looney Tunes short than a traditional teen film. Produced by Warner Bros. on a modest budget, the movie was shot primarily in California and embraced a heightened, artificial look that matched its absurd tone.The production itself was famously contentious. Studio executives reportedly struggled to understand Holland's surreal approach, and star John Cusack later distanced himself from the film, feeling the final cut leaned too far into absurdity. Despite this, the filmmakers were given enough freedom to fully commit to the bizarre visual style, rapid-fire jokes, and unconventional editing choices. While Better Off Dead underperformed theatrically and received mixed reviews on release, it found a second life on VHS and cable television, where audiences embraced its oddball humor. Over time, the film has become a cult classic, celebrated for its unapologetic weirdness and its refusal to play by the rules of standard 1980s teen comedies.Checkout Susan's podcast Geek Girl Soup here.If you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon ⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠.Referral links also help out the show if you were going to sign up:⁠⁠⁠NordVPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠NordPass⁠⁠⁠Trailer Guy Plot SummaryThis winter… high school gets weird.From the twisted mind of Savage Steve Holland comes a teen comedy where nothing behaves like reality, logic takes a holiday, and every problem is dialed up to cartoon levels of insanity. When heartbreak hits and humiliation follows, one teenager spirals into a snow-covered nightmare filled with bizarre neighbors, aggressive paperboys, and challenges that demand absolute commitment.Better Off Dead — where teenage angst meets surreal chaos… and giving up is not an option.Fun FactsBetter Off Dead features several stop-motion and animated sequences, including the famous dancing hamburgers scene, created to mimic cartoon physics in live action.The aggressive paperboy character was played by Demian Slade, whose brief but intense performance became one of the most quoted elements of the film.Actress Kim Darby, who played the protagonist's mother, was already famous for her role in True Grit (1969), making her casting an unexpected generational crossover.Curtis Armstrong (later known for Revenge of the Nerds and Risky Business) appears in one of his early comedy roles, adding to the film's cult appeal.The movie's synth-heavy soundtrack, composed by Rupert Hine, became a cult favorite and was later released as a standalone album.The fictional foreign exchange student characters were deliberately written with exaggerated stereotypes to heighten the film's absurdist tone.Many of the film's jokes are delivered entirely visually, with minimal dialogue, reinforcing its reputation as a comedy that rewards repeat viewings.Better Off Dead is frequently cited by comedians and filmmakers as a precursor to modern surreal comedies, influencing later offbeat humor in film and TV.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Send us a textWelcome to you heard it hear last, where we talk about news, you've already heard.Well, here we are in 2026 and this is our first episode of Season 4. We are having a great time and I hope you are as well. Speaking of great times our first bit of news is like a blast from the past for me.https://www.rascal.news/steve-jackson-games-announces-toon-second-edition/Steve Jackson Games has just launched a Backerkit for Toon Second Edition. Toon is a roleplaying game set in the world of cartoons. Not the animie stuff, but the good old fashioned Looney Tunes and Merry Melodies cartoons produced by Warner Brothers. I grew up on those, routing for Bugs Bunny and always laughing when proclaimed the wrong turn at Albuquerque. Steve Jackson Games launched the first edition in 1984 and I loved it. Now, over 40 years later they are bringing out the Second Edition.Mike, did you ever play Toon?[Kick to Mike]What about you Christina, where the Looney Tunes big for you growing up?[Kick to Christina]Next up we have a little interesting piece of news and maybe, just maybe a view of something to come.https://www.rascal.news/why-did-his-majesty-the-worm-skip-the-kickstarter/His Majesty the Worm is a tarot card RPG that was released in 2023. The creators utilized Itch.io and put up chapters as written with a pay-what-you-want request. They used the money gathered to help pay for artists and final printing costs. Now they are launching a supplement to His Majesty the Worm titled Castle Automatic. This mega dungeon in the Castlevania style isn't going the route of backerkit or kickstarter. Nope, they are simply doing pre-orders through Exalted Funereal. We have talked several times on the podcast about the problems with big companies getting involved in platforms that were originally designed for new creators and this seems like the logical outcome of those markets being dominated now by the big brands.Mike, Put on your business hat. What's this mean?[Kick to Mike]Christina, Thoughts?[Kick to Christina]And there you have it. All they news, you've already heard.

It's Porky's birthday, and who's showing up to celebrate? Is it his friends Gabby and Petunia, or perhaps rising co-star Daffy Duck? No! It's... it's a penguin and goose we've never seen before. Oh, okay, well, this is also one of the last Bob Clampett cartoons that Chuck Jones did animation for, so is it a good sendoff? Listen to find out!

Six Flags Magic Mountain has delayed its highly anticipated “first-of-its-kind” coaster to 2027, citing the attraction's complexity and a commitment to quality. The project—reported to be a Vekoma Thrill Glider—was part of the company's broader $1 billion investment plan and would have been the park's first major coaster addition since 2022.At the same time, Six Flags confirmed a significant pivot toward family-focused IP with the announcement of Looney Tunes Land, a fully reimagined children's area opening in summer 2026 with upgraded storytelling, expanded green space, new theming, and refreshed dining.Taken together, these moves raise questions about where Six Flags is placing its near-term bets. Coasters are increasingly expensive and time-intensive to build, and ongoing tariff uncertainty may be influencing capital timelines. The decision to prioritize Looney Tunes—rather than Peanuts—could also signal a push toward IP diversification tied to Warner Bros., especially as broader questions remain about how Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm will coexist and differentiate within the same Southern California market.We explore whether this reflects a temporary pause on thrill-heavy investments, a reorientation toward families and reliability, or simply a pragmatic sequencing of projects while the company navigates post-merger integration and external pressures. We also touch briefly on winter and holiday programming that caught our attention, including China's massive Ice-Snow World and Alton Towers' Santa Sleepover in the U.K., as operators worldwide look for ways to stabilize attendance across unpredictable seasons.

With Tormenta getting topped off.. this dive machine is going to have an insane drop. Will the rest of it hold up? The boys discuss that as well as BGT's crazy changes, Looney Tunes to Magic Mountain, fan questions and more in this episode.

This is like a scene from Looney Tunes, and also the most FESTIVE criminal of the year in this Setting the Bar Story! Source: https://metro.co.uk/2025/12/11/wanted-fugitive-disguises-a-wise-man-fool-police-25387281/

It's the holiday season, so we're reading... oh it's not a holiday comic. That's ok, it's Grant Morrison's Animal Man! We're taking a look at his first 5 issues from the early 90s, where we'll analyze cell reconstruction and Looney Tunes. Then we continued our long read of the Ultimates with issue #3 in which... we still don't have a villain. Next Time: Marvel & DC crossover for the first time in 20 years with 2025's Deadpool/Batman & Batman/Deadpool!  

Lionel and Lynn Shaw (Lynn's Warriors) expose the seismic, overlooked threats posed by Big Tech and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to American youth and families. Learn how unscrupulous tech predators view your children's "soul as nothing more than data to harvest and profit to extract". The discussion covers the explosive dissension in Washington regarding a federal executive order that wiped out 50 state AI laws, handing total control to Washington and stripping states of child safety guard rails. Furthermore, they analyze the massive consolidation of cultural power if one corporation absorbs a century of storytelling (including Looney Tunes and Harry Potter), potentially feeding AI algorithms that saturate childhood with targeted content and emotional hooks. Lynn details the misleading app store ratings, Apple's intentionally complex 31-step child safety settings, and the rise of AI-generated content (like the AI model Tilly Norwood and number-one hit songs) replacing human creativity.

Dive into the seismic threats posed by Big Tech and Artificial Intelligence, where unscrupulous tech predators view your children's "soul as nothing more than data to harvest and profit to extract". Lionel exposes the explosive political fight over a federal executive order that stripped states of child safety guard rails and details how massive corporate consolidation could feed AI algorithms with a century of storytelling (including Looney Tunes and Harry Potter). Then, explore the critical decline of education, the loss of cognitive skills like cursive writing, and the existential threat of AI. From the terrifying realities of modern delivery culture (like the Amish Buggy Amazon Cart) to uproarious recollections of Catholic school—including the wisdom of bribing teachers and astonishing facts about St. Drogo, the patron saint of ugly people and coffee—this is essential insight into how we think and how we must fix our ability to think.

Here to help us search these endless hallways for clues is writer (Deathbed: Horror Stories by Comedy Writers) and comedian Ritch Duncan!!

In the summer of 1993, an up-and-coming Brooklyn hip-hop trio collaborated with an NBA rookie sensation to create a Bugs Bunny-inspired track that cracked the Top 40. In a world of athletes releasing embarrassing novelty singles, “What's Up Doc? (Can We Rock?)” had people far and wide asking if Shaq was as diesel on the mic as he was on the court. It was the undeniable track from FU-Schnickens, however, that laid the groundwork for Shaq's “alidocious” bars. This week, we're joined by CLASSIC One Hit Thunder guest Matt DiStefano to discuss the short-lived career of FU-Schnickens, and to figure out if there was more to them than this “Looney Tune”.
