Blerds Guide to the Galaxy BMP

In this episode we jump on the nostalgia train and head back to the late 80s and early 90s to revisit the Disney afternoon cartoon block of our childhood. From Gummi Bears to Hercules, we talk about the great Disney cartoons that oversaturated our TVs. But we do get distracted by Zeus, Lance Reddick, and James Franco and Jared Leto. Suck gas, evil-doers!

For this episode, we talk about whitewashing in media. We stick to more recent times (because the further you go back, the worse it gets), and pick out the numerous times in the last 20 years when casting choices made us scratch our heads. The list is so vast we barely have time to get distracted, but we still do by: Scott Adams, Puma Man, and Ultimate Invasion. 

This episode we review the MCU movie: Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. It's sub-dimensional fun for the whole family. Find out how we feel about the kickoff for Phase 5 of the MCU. We stay on task this time, with the only distractions being Superman, Street Fighter, and Rush Hour 5. All hail the Conqueror!

For this episode, we wanted to talk about our experiences with Table Top Role-Playing Games, or TTRPG. We discuss our first time rolling the dice, and some of the best sessions we've had so far. Also, following the Super Bowl, we wanted to go over some of the great (and not-so-great) movie trailers we saw. Inevitably, we get distracted by the Pickard tv show, a Bojack Horseman sandwich, and "Did the Monopoly Man ever have a monocle?" 

To celebrate Black History Month, we wanted to focus on BIPOC in fantasy. There are great examples in more recent times, but the pickings were sparse in the 80s and 90s. We talk about some of the favorite characters that we grew up with, and how representation has grown in the last 20 years. We find ourselves getting distracted by James Gunn's DCEU, Pope Palpatine, and Frolicon. We are still waiting on justice for Ray Fisher.....

Season 3 is upon us! After a little break we are back with the good stuff. We spend this episode getting caught up on some of the things we missed while away. Topics include: Avatar 2, Manga and Anime, and Baldur's Gate 3. We also get distracted a lot by Zoe Saldana, Bullet Train, Theodore Rex, KOTOR, and Hallway Bryan. We never doubted you, Sam Worthington.
