Pod Stallions 112: Movie Serials
Before the MCU and Multiverses, before the Snyderverse, before the summers that the Shadow and the Phantom RULED the cineplexes (didn't they?), it was a world when the superhero and pulp characters reigned supreme in Saturday morning serials. The precursor of the modern action movie, their impact can be felt to this day , and since we keep our fingers on the pulse, we thought it was high time we showed them some love. So grab yer popcorn and Buck Rogers Disintegrator Pistols as we thread the projector and eat a bowl of healthy serial(s).

PodStallions 110: What We're Watchin'
Keen-eared listeners of the Pod Stallions podcast know that those boys can talk, know a lot of stuff and have opinions, whether they're asked for or not. Each episode peels back another layer of the enigma-onion that is BraSon, revealing more of their likes, loves and mehs. We thought it was a good time to rip another layer off and talk about What We've Been Watching Lately. Comedy, horror, Love Boat, documentary, sci-fi, Love Boat and punk rock are all discussed as well as the Love Boat. It's like a convo between video store geeks if we still had video stores to hang out in. Give it a whirl; who knows? You just might get turned on to try some suggestions and may even be familiar with others. But don't forget, Be Kind, Rewind.Topics include Green Room, VFW, Love Boat, Doctor Who, Are you being served?, Star Trek, History of the World Part 2, Battlefield Earth, The Intruder Within, GORP, Patrick, Australian Cinema, Documentaries, Bob and David, Dick Shawn, Failed TV pilots, #podstallions #plaidstallions #toyventures #startrek #loveboat #tvpilots So wade in, as the curtain is pulled back to reveal Brian and Jason at their most naked (metaphorically, obviously), in Pod Stallions' Group Free For All!

Pod Stallions 108: The 2022 Retro Awards
LISTEN HERE “Pop quiz: What do The Flintstones, The Wild Wild West and Car 54, Where Are You? have in common? Is it that they could ALL have used more Victor Buono? Well, frankly, YES. But more importantly, they’ve all had big screen re-makes/re-imaginings for this episode! Yes, as usual, we do the work, so you don’t have to, and there’s a lot of ground to cover. Sitcoms, cartoons, cop shows and SNL sketches (??) have gotten so many theatrical incarnations that this Ep could be one of a series we do. So pull up a chair, turn up the volume and get ready to play along as you inevitably yell more titles at the speakers as we explore ‘From Small Screen to Silver Screen’ on the new episode of Pod Stallions.

Customer Reviews
If you grew up in the seventies, you should listen to these guys ramble on!
Great fun, look forward to every episode.
ReRelease earlier episodes!!!
I look forward each month to seeing what the fine gents at podstallions have for dinner. These two guys have such a knack for bringing back the smells, tastes and fun of 70's(and sometimes 80's) pop culture. Check out their web and Facebook pages as well. My ONLY complaints would be their back catalog of episodes not being downloadable on iTunes, and they also seem to have cut down on newer content. I get it, these guys have lives, but they have something special here. MW. Kitchener, ON.
Great podcast!
Wish it were weekly! Thanks a lot, you guys.
