Back to Berk !
Jackie and MJ are back for this week's Second Helpings! MJ talks about how they learned early that children's show lessons aren't based in reality, and Jackie FINALLY finishes explaining the finger claps! Buzzballz is starting to sell inflatable novelty pools, Jackie talks some "Honey I Shrunk the Kids" talk, MJ says the scene in "Enchanted" with the rats and pigeons rushing into an apartment hit too close to home, and Jackie gives her feedback on the OG "How to Train Your Dragon." Then it's onto breaking down the difference between cosplay and LARP while also apologizing to the campus LARPers she roasted back in her college days. The death of Hulk Hogan brings up memories of the of the wretched leaked Hulk Hogan sex tape, and the death of Ozzy has MJ and Jackie reflecting on "The Osbournes" being their first introduction to The Prince of Darkness, which then leads into a deeper discussion on the relationships the different generations hold to music. "Vanderpump Rules" is servin' up some classic early 2010's fits! MJ and Jackie discuss how the internet reacted to Jennifer Love Hewitt having the AUDACITY to get older, and the weird obsession with people wanting her to feud with Sarah Michelle Gellar. Winona Ryder is also back on the circuit and doesn't get why actresses be slicin' and dicin' their faces, ol' Gooper is above memoirs so she's goopin' out a biography, and Justin Timberlake is ruining the tour....the world tour... Bobby Flay says he's pissed no one brings food to his BBQs, that is except Jon "set a man on fire during a 1990 college hazing" Hamm's wife, and "Amy Bradley Is Missing" is another cruise doc but it's not about poop, but a 1980's missing person case, all that and even more on this week's Second Helpings!!

In today's Daily Fix:Noah Hawley's Alien: Earth is a major production for FX; so major that its scale apparently surpasses that of last year's huge FX hit, Shogun. Via Variety, the new series will exist "in parallel" to the existing Alien cannon, prompting speculation that the show will ignore Ridley Scott's prequel films, Prometheus and Alien: Covenant. In other news, Brütal Legend devs honored rocker Ozzy Osbourne by making the game free for exactly 666 minutes. Osbourne died earlier this week, weeks after performing his farewell concert. Osbourne also appears in Brütal Legend as the Guardian of Metal. And finally, we check in with the co-stars of How to Train Your Dragon as they ride Hiccup's Winged Gliders at Universal Epic Universe.Presented by Universal Orland Resort and its new theme park, Universal Epic Universe.

The Shat Crew soars into DreamWorks territory for a film that melted even Gene's icy heart: How to Train Your Dragon. This animated fantasy wasn't just a box office smash—it was a coming-of-age story that redefined what kids' movies could be, combining sweeping visuals, smart storytelling, and a surprising emotional punch. Commissioned by Cheryl, this pick launches Big D into dad mode, marveling at the Viking village's parenting techniques and dragon integration programs, while Gene questions how the filmmakers got him gushing over a silent reptile with puppy eyes. Is How to Train Your Dragon the best non-Disney animated film of its generation? Could it secretly be about neurodiversity, pacifism, or simply learning to listen? And how did Toothless become one of the most iconic non-verbal characters in modern cinema? Whether you're a rider of Night Furies or just here for the dad feels, this episode will have you rethinking your emotional support dragons. Plot Summary:In How to Train Your Dragon (2010), a misfit Viking teen named Hiccup befriends a wounded dragon he names Toothless, challenging everything his warrior tribe believes about dragons.

In this episode of DreamMachine, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2025 DreamWorks action/adventure film How to Train Your Dragon, which is a live action remake of the 2010 animated film of the same name based on the book series by Cressida Cowell. In the island of Berk, a young teenage boy named Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III is the outcast of his village of Vikings who is unable to fight against the dragons that attack consistently. It doesn't help much that he's the son of the chief of Berk, Stoick the Vast. One night, he uses one of his inventions to shoot down a rare dragon called a Night Fury. When he finds it, he befriends it and calls it Toothless. Meanwhile, the children of Berk are being trained to fight dragons and Hiccup uses his skills and knowledge to take them down without killing them. The village believes that Hiccup is a real dragon fighter and praises him while Hiccup is keeping his secret. When the film premiered in theaters, it made $530 million dollars out of a $150 million dollar budget with mostly positive reviews. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film? Listen and find out.

Look up in the sky - we're talking about the new Prime Video show Ballard. It's a spin-off from Bosch. Okay - we're also talking about James Gunn's new Superman movie. It's kind of a big deal.
