Why doesn't Hollywood remake mediocre movies (and make them better)?ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden discuss the broader implications of a question posed by an Imagination Connoisseur who asks why Obi-Wan Kenobi is such a boring character in his own series. In fact, one could ask why so many Star Wars series seem to be “running in place” and not really going anywhere with characters who don't seem to be doing all that much. Is there a larger force at work here that no one seems to acknowledge? And where have we heard THAT before?This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 17, 2022 (Episode #45).
Why doesn't Hollywood remake mediocre movies (and make them better)?ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from an Imagination Connoisseur who asks why Hollywood seems content remaking and re-booting successful movies rather than making movies with “great potential” that might have not met expectations when they were first released to the public. As Rob and Mike point out, there's a lot more involved in a successful remake than one might imagine.This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 17, 2022 (Episode #45).
ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from an Imagination Connoisseur who thinks fans may be getting a little too harsh in their criticisms of long-established, genre franchises.This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 9, 2022 (Episode #41).
ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from an Imagination Connoisseur who asks if fans aren't actually nitpicking all of the fun out of our favorite things? How should fans treat each other and how should they handle discussions about shows or movies they don't really like? Can we keep toxicity out of the PGS?This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 9, 2022 (Episode #41).
ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden discuss how the entertainment business has changed since Jeffrey Katzenberg wrote an internal memo (at Disney) about the future of movie-making. As the economic realities have changed and the budgets have ballooned, studios are finding themselves in a difficult corner – they need to make big-budget, franchise fare that will be sure to generate an audience, but one misstep could spell financial ruin. This makes the going even more difficult for producers and creators wanting to launch new franchises or produce unique, one-off films.This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 9, 2022 (Episode #41).
Being the star of your own show might be good for your ego but bad for the country.ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from an Imagination Connoisseur who contends that modern TV shows and movies aren't as memorable as classic shows and movies from years gone by. He goes on to propose that even if those classic TV shows and movies were made today, they wouldn't be as memorable, either. Are we developing a kind of mass, cultural amnesia or is something even worse going on?This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 8, 2022 (Episode #40).
Is “good enough” really good enough?ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from a listener who asks why Star Wars fans aren't more discerning when it comes to the stories written for their favorite franchises and the way they're produced. Should fans just accept stories that are ill-conceived or poorly produced and not ask questions? Rob and Mike chime in with a few thoughts of their own.This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 6, 2022 (Episode #38).
Creativity is in the eye of the beholder, until we invent technology to replace it.ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter asking about attempts to objectively determine what work is “creative” the limitations we face when it comes to trying to adopt such a standard. How can we say something is “objectively” creative when creativity seems to be such a matter of taste and personal preference?This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 6, 2022 (Episode #38).
Is the outlook for the future of storytelling as bleak as it seems to be?ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter asking where all of the optimistic stories have gone. Having been raised in the 60s and 70s, the letter-writer recalls that period as a time of optimism and possibility. But now, with the rise of social media (and, more likely, with the coming of middle age), he feels let down by the very media he used to turn to in order to remain hopeful about the future.Can things really be that bad?This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 6, 2022 (Episode #38).
Sometimes you don't have to change much to resolve a ear-splitting dissonance.ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from an Imagination Connoisseur who works in the music industry and asks a very interesting question about the “artistic dissonances” in the new, Obi-Wan Kenobi series streaming on Disney+. Matt points out that just making some small changes in how certain things are handled could go a long way to fixing the continuity and storytelling problems that seem to undercut the series.This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 6, 2022 (Episode #38).
Has technology handcuffed the creative teams on the Disney+ streaming series?ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter asking why the production values on the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series seem to be so “flat.” Given the history of Disney as an innovator in animation and production, it seems odd that the studio would be okay with mediocre CGI and other visual effects.This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 3, 2022 (Episode #37).
ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from a listener who asks why producers spend the money necessary to purchase established, science fiction intellectual property and then develop projects that have very little in common with that IP. Two examples include the recent FOUNDATION series (based on Isaac Asimov's Foundation Trilogy) and THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (developed by Alex Kurtzman's Secret Hideout production company).This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 1, 2022 (Episode #35).
ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from a listener who asks why fans seem to get more belligerent about their likes and dislikes when it comes to appreciating art and storytelling as they age. Is it all because of bad storytelling or are there other factors at play here, too?This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 1, 2022 (Episode #35).
ROADTRIPPIN' co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from a listener who asks why when it comes to making films or TV, genre franchises don't use the best stories available – even if those stories were created for other media like comics, novelizations, etc.? And when it comes to the Star Wars franchise in particular, why aren't stories like the Republic Commando series included in the mix?This "Extra" is a segment from the ROADTRIPPIN' with RMB podcast recorded on June 1, 2022 (Episode #35).

It's a fantasy-casting Verity! Extra! Join Deb, Katrina, and Lynne as they let their imaginations run wild and try to pitch fantastical (or actually, historical) ideas for future Doctor Who episodes, complete with mismatched Doctors and companions, historical figures, guest cast members, and a healthy dose of wet Colin Firth. This Extra! is lovingly dedicated to the Time Scoop Podcast, in which panelists compete in a fantasy draft choosing a Doctor, a companion, a monster or villain, a writer, and two wild card elements that best exemplify what they love about Who. What would you like to see in a future DW ep? Let us know in the comments! ^E

We've got a special treat for you this week. Besides the regularly schedule, full-length Episode 219--that features Brent Ridge & Josh Kilmer-Purcell from The Beekman Boys in-studio--we've also got a new Swish Extra... This Extra features our Gay-on-the-Ground in New York City, Justin Luke, chatting with current RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Ivy Winters on the streets of Hell's Kitchen. It was taped Monday, March 12 and it's a short little peak into this exciting season. She talks about the biggest challenges she faced on the competition show, how she likes to focus on her tricks (she's a fire eater, y'all!) instead of all the drama, how he gets noticed as a guy on the subway in New York, and how she got her start (mostly because she's a costumer), plus so much more hilarity from the street. We hope you enjoy it!
