With a name like that, he has to be a nice guy, right?  We loved him as Rudy in Meatballs and he stole our hearts in My Bodyguard, but what the hell else has he done and where did he go?  I'll answer these questions and more as I take you on a journey that includes the murder of Bob Crane, my time with Jonah Hill, Corey Feldman's bass player, fake T&A movies, and Dolph Lundgren's ex-girlfriend.  Peace!

Picking up after the events of the original, inventor Flint Lockwood (voiced by Bill Hader – SNL, Inside Out) discovers that his infamous FLDSMDFR machine is still running, creating living “foodimals” like the Shrimpanzee, Tacodile Supreme, and the adorable Berry. Alongside his girlfriend Sam Sparks (Anna Faris – Scary Movie, Mom), his dad Tim (James Caan – The Godfather, Elf), and best friends Brent (Andy Samberg – Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Palm Springs) and Manny (Benjamin Bratt – Miss Congeniality, Coco), Flint must face off against corporate villain Chester V (Will Forte – The Last Man on Earth, MacGruber), who has his own plans for the machine. The film blends hilarious gags, vibrant visuals, and heartfelt moments, with the standout sequence being the discovery of the foodimals—fan favorites like the Cheespiders, Watermelophants, and the brave Pickles! Packed with laughs, heart, and creativity, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 remains one of the most memorable animated sequels of the 2010s.

We're calling it: independent reading is the back-to-school move of the year! In this episode, we're getting honest about what it takes to build a reading culture that actually sticks, without burning you (or your students) out by October. We share the real talk on what's worked, what hasn't, and how our thinking has shifted post-COVID to make independent reading more joyful, flexible, and student-centered.This isn't just a planning convo. It's a mindset shift. We're talking about modeling our own reading lives, creating routines that support real growth, and designing a program that meets students where they are.

In our final episode of Camp BNT, we got to sit down with none other than TJ Klune, author of The House in the Cerulean Sea—and let's just say, it was everything we hoped for and more! We laughed, fangirled (a lot), and had the most meaningful conversation about TJ's journey as a neurodivergent, queer kid from rural Oregon, how teachers shaped his life, and why authentic, hopeful queer representation in books matters so much.

As summer heads into the waning few weeks we have left, we decided why not take a look at some of the summer camp movies from the 80s. Then we found out one of these movies isn't about summer camp. Go figure. First up, Bill Murray teaches life lessons to a group of kids at camp in MEATBALLS. Then, Tim Matheson has to lead a group of misfits to win a rafting race in UP THE CREEK.

This week, the Meatballs are discussing the drama of Love Island and an ongoing TikTok antipasto salad story. Deena talks about her Disney family vacation, and Snooki realizes that people really do listen to the Meatball Pod after all

This week we talk about the Meatballs movies, Quantum Earth, Superman, Sandman, Troubling Artists, Sinners, Expeditionary Force, Call of Cthulhu, Abraham's Boys, Antimatter Blues, Mickey 17, The Courier, Slay the Spire, My Little Pony, Pan Am, Wonder Woman, the Spiel des Jahres, and The Social Network 2. Get Scalloped, it's time for a GeekShock!

Some conversations leave a mark, and this one with author Libba Bray is exactly that. From the first few minutes, we found ourselves completely pulled in by her honesty, humor, and the kind of insight that makes you pause and say, “Yes, that's it.” What started as a chat about books quickly turned into a rich, winding conversation about creativity, teaching, storytelling, and the way young people show up in the world with fierce hope and resilience. We dive into Libba's newest novel, Under the Same Stars—a multigenerational story inspired by a real-life matchmaking tree—exploring how she weaves together history, structure, and emotion to spark meaningful reflection and classroom connection.Resources:Join Camp BNT: Summer 2025Under the Same Stars: Amazon | BookshopLibba's WebsiteLiba's Instagram: @libbabrayMore Camp BNT Episodes:Episode 260, Samira Ahmed: A Conversation About Internment Part 1Episode 261, Samira Ahmed: A Conversation About Internment Part 2Episode 262, Aimee Phan: A Conversation About The Lost Queen Part 1Episode 263, Aimee Phan: A Conversation About The Lost Queen Part 2Episode 264, Aaron H.

Send us a textIn this flavorful and thoughtful conversation from Pax8 Beyond 2025, Joey Pinz sits down with Louis Bagdonas, a leader at Moovila, to explore how cooking, culture, and clarity shape both personal growth and project management in the MSP world.The episode opens with culinary banter — from turkey veal meatballs and single-source olive oil to Lithuanian heritage and the power of finishing what you start. But this isn't just about recipes — it's about how life in and out of the kitchen reveals the habits that lead to success.Louis shares Moovila's mission to help MSPs take control of project management before things go off the rails. He breaks down how MSPs can assess their internal readiness, define what a “project” really means, and avoid letting one person carry the entire load.The conversation shifts to family, discipline, and mindset — from Louis's decision to quit drinking, to making space for impact and balance. Whether you're managing projects or personal pivots, this episode is about owning your process and finding satisfaction in both the work and the results.

This episode lit us up in the best way. Amanda sat down with Aaron H. Aceves, author of This Is Why They Hate Us, for a heartfelt conversation about identity and the power of honest storytelling. Aaron's openness about his own journey challenged us to reflect on how we, as educators, can lead with vulnerability and create space for students to do the same. His protagonist, Enrique, is messy, hilarious, and deeply real—and that kind of representation matters more than ever in our classrooms.Aaron reminded us that books like his are more than stories—they're lifelines for students who need to see themselves in the pages they read. This conversation is a love letter to teachers everywhere, doing the work to bring authentic, diverse voices into their classrooms. We hope it leaves you feeling as inspired as it left us.Resources:Join Camp BNT: Summer 2025This is Why They Hate Us, by Aaron H.
