On A Break
Do you know how sometimes life gives you lemons? They say to take those lemons and make lemonade with them, but have you ever made lemonade? Squeezing those lemons takes time! Plus, you have to add so much sugar that stirring it until it dissolves takes forever! My point is that making lemonade...

The Episode with a List
Conventions appear to be happening again, which means people will be spending lots of money. And if you have ever been to a fan convention, you know that a good portion of that money will be spent by those who want to meet their favorite celebrities. But if you have ever paid for a photo op or an...

The Loki and Sylvie (Not Mobius) Show
Another Marvel television show has come and gone, but this time things are different. Unlike WandaVision or The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki feels like an extremely important part of the MCU as we enter a new phase of storytelling. Why would we say that? Listen to week's episode of...

Black Widow's Box Office Bull's-Eye
After numerous delays, Marvel's Black Widow finally arrived in theaters. And Disney+. Yep. In addition to a theatrical release where the latest chapter in the MCU scored $158 million in its first three days at the global box office, Disney also released the anticipated film through Disney+…

Don't Be a Spoiler
It's Wednesday morning. You're at work sitting in another unnecessary Zoom meeting that really should have been an email. Hoping to make the next hour of your life more tolerable, you visit your favorite social media sites and begin scrolling. Within seconds you are bombarded with spoilers from…

Who Herds the Herder?
Who watches the watchmen? This is a popular translation of "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" from the writings of Juvenal and can be literally translated as "Who will guard the guards themselves?" It's a theme that has become a popular trope throughout pop culture, including movies, television…

Mr. Game and Watch Exhales E3
Utah Remote-Con 2 has come and gone meaning it's time to get back to our somewhat regular schedule. And what better time to get back into the swing of things than right after E3 2021? With the video game industry's biggest event of the year firmly in the rearview mirror, the Stolendroids…

Raya and the Last Dragon
Disney has been making classic animated films for decades. You could even say that it's what they're known for. I mean, they did make Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the first full-length animated feature film, way back in 1937, and they've been cranking out the classics ever since. Sure…

Saturday Morning Cartoons
Remember the days when you would wake up at 6:00 on a Saturday morning, grab a giant bowl of cereal, and plop onto the couch where you would watch cartoons for the next four hours? As a kid, those were the best days. Saturday mornings were yours, and nobody was going to take them away from you....

A Tale As Old As Time Turns 30
Can you believe that it's been 30 years since Disney released their masterpiece, Beauty and the Beast? Well, it has. And despite its age, the film still holds up quite nicely. In fact, some would even say that out of the entire Disney animated library, it is one of their best. And don't we…

What's Up With Black Widow?
With an original release date of May 1, 2020, Black Widow became one of the first summer blockbusters to change its release schedule due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. With the closure of movie theaters worldwide, the highly anticipated film was moved to a November release date, pushing back...
-
On the First Season of WandaVision...
Someone once said that WandaVision is one of those shows where you either love it, you hate it, or you fall someplace in between. So it's like most television shows. But the difference with WandaVision is that most people seem to be on either end of the spectrum, with not a lot going on in the...

Marvel Madness
Welcome to March! The month of college basketball tournament brackets and office betting pools. The month when nobody judges you for taking time off work to stay home and watch sports for days. But why should sports fans be the only ones to have fun with brackets? The answer is that they…

#FreeBritney
Of everything that has been discussed on Stolendroids Podcast over the years, I never would have thought that we would do an entire show on Britney Spears. Yes, you read that right, and no, this isn't April Fool's Day. With the New York Times Presents episode "Framing Britney Spears" captivating...

The Great Quarantine Catch Up
Do you remember the before times when you could basically go anywhere you wanted with anybody? We do. We also realize that it's been about a year since COVID-19 sent people into a full-blown quarantine situation eliminating this possibility for people on a global scale. At the time, it was…

Collin's THE RISE OF SKYWALKER Panel
Due to some seriously inclement weather at the Stolendroids Texas Chapter, we're digging into the archives for this week's episode of Stolendroids Podcast. No, this isn't going to be a rerun of a previous episode. But if you missed it during Utah Remote-Con, now is your chance to listen to...

WONDER WOMAN 1984 Brings Much "Meh..."
In 2017, Wonder Woman, a film that had been stuck in development since 1996, finally exploded into theaters. The wait was worth it as the film went on to earn more than $820 million at the box office. Additionally, it showed that a female-led superhero movie with a good script could be…

Let's Not Go to the Movies
Do you remember the before times when people would leave their homes to do things other than going to work or get food? How people went to dinner with friends or even to the movies? Well, it seems that those times are gone, at least for the present. But what about those movies that people still...

Ready, Set, Roll!
When Dungeons & Dragons was first published in 1974, the 1,000-print run sold out in the first year. The adventure game continued to gain popularity throughout the 1980s until it came under an extraordinary assault from groups who feared that it promoted devil worship and witchcraft. Like so many...

The LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special Miracle
In 1978, hot on the heels of Star Wars, fans received their first spin-off. Set between the events of the original film and The Empire Strikes Back, the Star Wars Holiday Special somehow managed to reunite the main cast for a television special. But since the year was 1978 and TV variety shows…

The Next-Gen Console Wars Begin Now
Remember when Yoda said, "Begun, the Console War has" at the end of Attack of the Clones? Or maybe it was something about the Clone War. I don't quite remember. Anyway, with Sony and Microsoft both recently releasing their next-gen consoles, the debate of which is better: Xbox or PlayStation has...
-
Fictional Presidents
Every four years, citizens in the United States go through the time-honored tradition of selecting who will be our next Overlord, I mean President. And every four years, these contests become more and more heated as the margins of victory grow tighter and tighter. In fact, as time has passed,...
-
Our Favorite Halloween Movies
In this episode, Zach is back! And in addition to the rest of our panel, we're joined by Tracy from Movies That Make Us. Listen as we discuss some of our favorite Halloween movies, TV shows, and... other things. We go from horror to cute and fun and just slightly spooky. What are some of your...
-
Avatar: The Last Retrospective
There are some who would argue that Avatar: The Last Airbender is one of the greatest cartoons since The Flintstones, and those people are probably right. But what makes it so great? Why does the series still hold up after so many years? Come listen to our panel discuss how the Avatar: The Last...
-
Creepy Toys
As children, we all had our favorite toys. Some were awesome, some weren't. And then some needed to be burned and sent back from whence they came. You know the ones: the porcelain doll with the dead eyes, the teddy bear that reads you stories with its dead eyes, Furby. The nightmares were real…

The Mandalorian
The trailer for the second season of The Mandalorian on Disney+ is here! We have some thoughts, and you know that we can't pass up an opportunity to discuss them. In this episode, we have a trailer viewing party, talk about what we are most looking forward to in the upcoming season, and what...

Utah Remote-Con 2020: The Fast and Furious in SPACE!
Welcome to Utah Remote-Con 2020! This was our first panel of the convention. We kick things off with a bang as we look back on the Fast and Furious franchise and look forward to the future. From the original film through Hobbs and Shaw, all your favorites are here. This panel was moderated by…

Hot Takes
The 2020 Emmy nominees have been announced, and we have some thoughts. In fact, some people (Jake) might even say we have some hot takes. Of course, the hot takes aren't really pertinent to the Emmys, but when has that ever stopped us? Also, Collin hates Dustin from Stranger Things. This means…

Cartoon Crushes
You still remember your first cartoon crush, right? Who doesn't? We all had at least one that stands out that we will never forget. It's not weird. Cartoons are often the first characters we connect with as kids. The first stories we connect with, so it makes sense that we had a crush at some…

Nine-Nine
Every now and then you learn that one of your friends hasn't watched a movie or a TV show that you absolutely love. You may feel shocked, dismayed, or even betrayed. That's what recently happened when the Stolendroids team realized that Zohner has never seen Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It was at that...
-
Stop It
Although the media has been more prevalent in showing cases of police brutality and systematic racism in recent weeks, these are problems that have plagued our communities for years. And it is becoming increasingly difficult to watch our friends, neighbors, and loved ones suffer repeated…

Marvel vs. DC vs. Starstriker
Just when we thought things were starting to calm down, 2020 struck again. But we're back, and on this episode, we're discussing a classic argument: Which is better: DC or Marvel? Of course, as we find out, it's not that simple. To pit one entertainment powerhouse against the other and call the...

Release the Snyder Cut!
Two years after Justice League disappointed fans worldwide at the box office, the demand for Zack Snyder's original vision for the film finally reached a crescendo. Fans had been demanding the "Snyder Cut" for long enough. Even stars of the film such as Gal Gadot and Ben Affleck took to Twitter…

Collect 'Em All
Jake has been watching Prop Culture on Disney+ recently. (For those who are unfamiliar with the show, it follows film historian and prop collector Dan Lanigan as he reunites iconic Disney movie props with the filmmakers, actors, and crew who created and used them in some of Disney’s most beloved...
-
My Best Front Pocket
Sidekicks are an important part of storytelling. Captain America has Bucky. Frodo has Samwise. Batman has Robin. Stolendroids has Collin... Sidekicks often get a bad rap. We can probably blame the 1950's and 60's for this. (Thanks 1966 Robin.) Characters that were once simply comic relief have...
-
Villainy Intensifies
Everybody loves a good bad guy. From Darth Vader to Hannibal Lecter to the Joker, some of the most iconic characters in books, film, and television are villains. Why is that? What is it that draws us to them? Is it because we secretly want to be the villain, or is it something more? In this…

The Breakfast Bowl
Have you ever wondered who would win in a deathmatch between Snap, Crackle, and Pop and Tony the Tiger? Or what about Sonny, that CocoaPuffs addicted bird, and Cap'n Crunch? So have we. And on this week's episode, we break down the most famous of the cereal mascots' strengths and weaknesses and…
more -
Qurantoons
While some might say that the 1980s produced the greatest cartoons ever, I could argue that those from the 1990s were far superior. Not only are they better overall, but I believe that 90s cartoons have greater staying power than their 80s counterparts. Let me explain. Even though the 80s gave us...
-
Quarantine Bucket List
The world is still on time out, and frankly, some of us are starting to get bored. Sure, we could try to better ourselves, but sometimes it's a lot more fun to just watch movies, TV shows, or play video games that we haven't gotten around to yet. But you know, it probably is a good idea to at…
more -
The Quarantine Kids
A lot has changed since we last were able to bring you an episode of Stolendroids Podcast. For instance, it wasn't very long ago that we were able to go buy toilet paper. And remember how we could shake another person's hand without fear of dying two weeks later? Those were the days… Anyway, our...
-
What About Bob?
Heraclitus, the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher said the only constant in life is change. This is true even at the Happiest Place on Earth where Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company recently announced that he will be immediately stepping down from a role he has held for 20 years. When asked...

Stolendroids Podcast: The Podcast
During Super Bowl LIV, fans of the MCU were treated to a commercial spotlighting The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and WandaVision, each of which will be hitting the Disney+ streaming service later this year. We were also given a brief look at the upcoming Loki which is expected to premiere in...

The State of Stolendroids
The U.S. Constitution requires that the President periodically "give to the Congress Information of the State of the Union, and recommend to their Consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." This was originally often accomplished via a written report, but during the…

Into Sony's Spider-Verse
The first trailer for Morbius is here and it brings with it some questions. Namely, what exactly is Sony doing with their Spider-Man properties? Are they trying to build a mini MCU separate from the actual MCU? Are they trying to build something that complements the MCU but is still entirely in...
-
This Is the Way
Apparently, our panelists were never taught that you're not supposed to talk about religion in public, because that's what this entire episode is about. I think it's okay in this case though because they're specifically discussing religion as it pertains to Star Wars. Anyone who has seen the Star...
-
The Decade of the Geek
It’s 2020 and another decade has come and gone. Okay, technically the new decade begins next year, but roll with us on this one. Anyway, to kick off the new decade, we decided to make a few changes while reflecting on the previous 10 years. Listen as we discuss everything from Pokémon to the MCU...
-
You Don't Know What You Don't Know
Disney+ is live and so is Collin! Sit back and relax as he joins Zohner to discuss the Disney+ launch, bugs and all. They also talk about what they watched (and what you should watch), and what they liked and didn’t like about the newest entry into the streaming wars. And apparently, since we can...
-
The Potato Sweater
Considering how many times Collin has died over the years, it's safe to say that it's not an uncommon occurrence. Thankfully, he always finds a way to come back from the dead. (Lazarus pit perhaps?) But it is rare for him to die multiple times in one episode. In fact, this one may be the first…

Walking in Memphis
Zohner is flying solo again this week as he comes to you from a hotel room in Memphis. Yes, walking in Memphis did take place before recording this episode. His feet were planted firmly on Beale Street though which is disappointing since the song might lead one to believe that walking in Memphis...

Tornado Tales
The Dallas Tornado managed to throw a wrench into things this week for a lot of people. Thankfully, it only caused some network hardware damage for us; however, as a result, we’re way behind in releasing this episode. Sorry about that. Blame Mother Nature. Headlines Geek News: Green Arrow and the...
