The Peddler's Tales, Episode 4: Gummi Bears

Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! In honor of Small Screen Summer, Kris Newton joins us for a Disney show that literally no one has ever asked for: Gummi Bears. Not only are they dashing and daring, courageous and caring, but they have much more complex and interesting lore than anyone would expect from a show about colorful bouncing bears, and it can lead to some terrific stories if you can get past the idea of a character named Tummi Gummi. Topics discussed include:Yes, really, this isn't a belated April Fools episode;The absurd amount of mythology in Gummi Bears, from the Great Gummis and the Gexodus to Gumadoon and the Barbics (I swear we are not making any of this up);The many connections between the culture of the Gummi Bears and that of the Vistani (NO, SERIOUSLY, Y'ALL);How to connect a Gummi Bears story to themes of the fragility of hope, the inherent corruptibility of man, and the need for trust in a fallen world (NO COME BACK WHERE ARE YOU GOING);and more!Full writeups for the Gummi Bears and Gummi Berry Juice can be found for free on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/posts/135151538You can find Kris at MegaDumbCast (https://megadumbcast.podbean.com/) and the now-completed Gameable Podcast (https://gameabledisneypodcast.tumblr.com/)All music recordings are in the public domain (mark 1.0) and are licensed through https://musopen.org:Arabian Dance, from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, via the European ArchiveDialog for Yensid was written by Azalin Rex himself: http://www.tumblr.com/darklordazalinThe Wonderful World of Darklords logo was designed by Halite Jones, whom you can find on Tumblr and Instagram: https://www.tumblr.com/halite-draw and http://www.instagram.com/insta_haliteContact us on:Gmail: [email protected]: @wonderfulworldofdarklordsTumblr: @wonderfulworldofdarklordsPatreon: www.patreon.com/WonderfulWorldofDarklordsYouTube: @wonderfulworldofdarklord
