Episode 7: Big World, Big Adventures!

from Beyond the Lens (with Eric, Rico and PJ) · host Rico Robbins

Happy 2019!! In our second Thomas-themed episode so far, we discuss what is probably the most contentious (and current) era of the Thomas & Friends franchise: Big World! Big Adventures! In this iteration, Mattel (the owners of the Thomas & Friends franchise) has partnered with the United Nations to bring Thomas on a journey around the world in this multicultural rebrand of the series. Between season 22 and the feature-length special, Rico, Eric, and PJ have a lot to discuss about these changes, the split reaction among adult Thomas fans, and even what this means for the future of children’s television. And stay tuned to the very end: There may be a surprise for the long-term listeners for Beyond The Lens!
