It's the Muppet Show! With our Very Special Guest - Godzilla


It seems like everything nowadays is a sequel or a prequel (or a reboot). We chat about what separates the good sequels and prequels from the the bad. Then we take two properties in the news that have had a ton of sequels, and add our own to the mix.



Show notes are after the jump!

It's All Fun and Games Until Someone Loses a Side Quest

 

When it comes to "epic" games, can you have too much of a good thing? Ariel and Jonathan share their thoughts about epic games and how they can grow too big for their own good. We expect a lot of . . . . Fallout . . . . for this one. Plus: we mash up Mario and The Matrix and get the closest we've ever come to duplicating the same plot!

Goonies of the Galaxy

 Building on our discussion about nostalgia -- there are some films and shows that seem locked to when you first experienced them -- particularly when you're a kid. So does that mean the movies aren't, you know, actually good?



Nostalgia Ain't What It Used to Be

Ariel and Jonathan sit down to talk about when nostalgia can enhance a story and when it can end up being a crutch.
