Popcorn Junkie

Peacock and Bull Story

Mon, 17 Aug 2020 17:42:35 -0000

I feel like I keep doing this, but Popcorn Junkie needs another hiatus. This week I review Brave New World, Intelligence, Tiny Creatures, and the latest Muppets Now episode, plus breakdown my thoughts on NBC Universal's Peacock service, but the big announcement is the Popcorn Junkie podcast is going on another hiatus. This show just has not worked out enough to even begin to match the costs of making it, and I need to try something new. I will announce what the new plan is when it's ready, but for right now, no more weekly Popcorn Junkie podcast episodes. Thanks for listening.

Making up for missing an episode last week, Jon watched a bunch of stuff: Howard, the Howard Ashman documentary; the long belated animated movie Animal Crackers; Muppets Now, the new Muppets show for Disney+; Central Park, Loren Bouchard and Josh Gad's animated musical show on Apple TV+; Harley Quinn seasons 1 and 2; plus, rewatches for Chowder, Kung Fu Panda, Jurassic Park, and The Lost World: Jurassic Park.

Also, in lieu of a discussion, this week Jon introduces 4 new series pilots: Hail to the King, a Godzilla movie retrospective series; PokéCinema, a Pokémon movie and special retrospective series; This is Your Life, Charlie Brown, a Peanuts movie and special retrospective series; and his most ambitious one, DisneyMation, a retrospective for every animated movie made or owned by Disney.

Then, with the recent rise in cultural iconoclasm, Jon elaborates on his own feelings about being an iconoclast of public figures and why "cancel culture" is a farcical attempt at it.
