The SSN Crew is joined by special guest Tammy AKA Cowkitty to discuss both the Toy Story and Child's Play franchises, and to review the latest entries in each: Pixar's "Toy Story 4" and MGM's revamp of the original "Child's Play." Why didn't any of the hosts like the original "Toy Story" when it first came out, and yet came to hail its sequels as masterpieces? Why is MGM starting a Chucky franchise when Universal still has theirs? Where are the depth maps? And, most importantly, why are Bo Peep and Forky just...everything?!

The Say Something Nice Podcast is turning 300...episodes long! To mark this achievement, we talk about another property reaching an important milestone: the 50th anniversary of everyone's favorite mystery-solving Great Dane, Scooby-Doo, and his (still) high-school aged meddling human friends. In this episode, the SSN Crew and special guest Quadrus discusses a half-century of Scooby, from its origins as a spin on Archie and Dobie Gillis through decades' worth of cartoon series, feature films, and...interesting pop culture references. Plus: reviews of "Yesterday", OWN's "Ambitions," Netflix's "Someone Great," and more! • 0:00:00: Catching Up: Some Da Eat? • 0:10:25: Say Something Real: Reviews   ◦ Yesterday (Film, 2019)   ◦ Popeye: The 1940s, Vol. 2 (Film Shorts, Blu-Ray)   ◦ Jonny Quest (TV, Blu-Ray)   ◦ Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Film, 2018)   ◦ Yesterday (Film, 2019, SPOILERS)   ◦ Shaft (Film, 2019)   ◦ Marvel's Jessica Jones (TV, Netflix)   ◦ Euphoria (TV, HBO)   ◦ Someone Great (TV, Netflix)   ◦

In a recent New York Times article, Ava DuVernay, Lena Waithe, and many others spoke out on the increasingly dire state of traditional cinema, and questioned the sustainability of the standard theatrical release model. Will movie theaters go the way of eight-track tapes? The SSN Crew discusses Kyle Buchanan's multi-interview coverage on the subject, and also discuss their favorite (and least favorite) movie theaters and movie-going experiences. Plus: reviews of the new indie film "The Last Black Man in San Fransisco," HBO's "Euphoria", "Marvel's Jessica Jones," and - for Pride Month - the Village People's notoriously campy musical "Can't Stop the Music!" • 0:00:00: Catching Up: Some Da Eat? • 0:10:25: Say Something Real: Reviews ◦ Can’t Stop the Music ◦ Men in Black: International ◦ Dark Phoenix ◦ Big Little Lies ◦ Euphoria ◦ Mr. Iglesias (Netflix) ◦ Scooby-Doo and Guess Who?

Long title, long episode, lots of big conversations! First, Stephanie of the Mocha Minutes Podcast and Peter join the SSN Crew to discuss two new, yet unsuccessful, entires in long-running Hollywood franchises: "Shaft" and "Men in Black: International?" Is the new "Shaft" too problematic for modern audiences? Are there any signs of life to be found in the new "MIB"? And why is Meagan Good remaking "Foxy Brown?" Then, Yusuf Lamont joins us to discuss the New York Times' investigation into a 2008 fire at Universal Studios, which has now been revealed to have caused the losses of hundreds of thousands of important master tapes for musicians going back decades. What will this mean for music lovers and music artists, and what can we do to improve music archiving and preservation? All this, plus reviews of the "Pose" Season 2 opener, "Jessica Jones" Season 3, and more! • 0:00:00: Catching Up: Random discussion of "Shaft"", Disco Demolition Night, Diana Ross, "Xanadu", "Superfly", Meagan Good & DeVon Franklin re

One would think that Fox, in having gone through the debacle that was "X-Men: The Last Stand" 13 years ago, would know what to do different for their second adaptation of the classic X-Men "Dark Phoenix Saga." Apparently, that would hav been too much like right. The SSN Crew and special guest Tammy AKA Cowkitty saw "Dark Phoenix" so that you don't have to. We break down the bountiful violations of the spirit of the comics, Simon Kinberg taking over direction from an alleged predator with mixed results, replacing Skrulls with asparagus people, and perhaps the worst Storm scene in any of these movies. Come listen and love on us - we need it after this. • 0:00:00: "Dark Phoenix" Non-Spoiler Reviews • 0:51:24: "Dark Phoenix" Spoiler Discussion • 1:35:00: Box Office Discussion (with a little "The Secret Life of Pets 2" talk) WHERE TO FIND OUR CAST: Find Brandon online at: Twitter: http://twitter.com/btouch Instagram: http://instagram.com/btouch Find Ali & Ken online at the Say Something Nice Facebook Group: h

The DC Universe streaming service debuted its latest original series, "Swamp Thing," two weeks ago. Within four days, news had broken that the series was canceled, and the internet was ery respectful and sensible in covering th--yeah, we all know how this really went.

iTunes is dead, long live...Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV? While iTunes is slowly sunsetted in favor of its smaller, less bloated spawn, the SSN Crew, with special guests Richard (RJCC) & Amelia, look back on their experiences with the evolution of digital music over the years. In addition, the group discusses the fire and fervor around Robert Pattison - known for "Twilight", but better in other films - as Batman, leading to the internet's obteenbillionth meltdown over someone being cast in a Batman movie. There's also a huge number of movie and TV reviews, including "Godzilla: King of the Monsters", the Elton John biopic "Rocketman", Ali Wong & Randall Park's "Always Be My Maybe", and a spoiler review of Octavia Spencer's "Ma"! • 0:00:00: Catching Up/Film & TV Reviews   ◦ Live in Front of a Studio Audience: Norman Lear's All in the Family & The Jeffersons (TV, ABC)   ◦ Ma (Film, 2019, SPOILERS)   ◦ Rocketman (Film, 2019)   ◦ Godzilla: King of the Monsters (Film, 2019)   ◦ Brightburn (Film, 201

Prince Ali, Disney loves he, he's in three movies A Broadway show, a cartoon you know, he fights a big snake The SSN Crew breaks it down How Ashman & Menken threw down And how Guy Ritchie and Will Smith did this remake Your wish is our command! Special guests Tammy AKA Cowkitty and Stephanie of the Mocha Minutes Podcast join us to discuss the history and making of Disney's "Aladdin", and to rate and review the new 2019 live-action version starring Mena Massoud, Naomi "Jameika" Scott, and an intermittently blue and brown Will Smith! But what does animation legend Richard Williams think of "Aladdin?" Was Disney really having trouble finding proper leads for the remake? And will the new version make you proud of your boy or does it deserve to be banished to the ends of the earth? Just ruminate whilst we illuminate all this and more! (Spoilers are evident throughout for both films, in case you were the kid that was absent the day the 1992 movie was shown in school.) WHERE TO FIND OUR CAST: Find Brandon online

Who knew "Arthur" was even still in production? The PBS' animated kids' show broke the internet this week with a Season 22 (!) opener that showed anthropomorphic animal kids' teacher getting married to a man. As one might imagine, some ignorant people are mad about it. The SSN Crew discusses the "Arthur"/Mr. Ratburn controversy, as well as "The Chi's" Jason Mitchell being canceled for sexually harassing his co-stars, how Georgia's "heartbeat" abortion bill is affecting film and TV production in the state, and Timbaland and Jay-Z being sued by former Stax Records artist Ernie Hines.

With a pair of extra-length final episodes, HBO's epic series "Game of Thrones" has finally come to an end. With its conclusion, everyone online has bid the series goodbye with maturity, decorum, and -- ah, who are we kidding? Folks are acting a fool. But why are so many people so mad? Does each character's conclusion meet our approval, if not our expectations? Also, what will come of those spin-offs? The SSN Crew, with special guests Amelia and Stephanie from the Mocha Minutes Podcast, break down the good, bad, and stupid-petition-spawningly ugly of the GoT finale. (It should go without saying, but massive spoilers ahead from almost the word go.)

Has "Pokémon: Detective Pikachu" finally cracked the code to making a good video game movie? Can Ryan Reynolds be funny without the benefit of f-bombs? Will Justice Smith finally catch a break after "The Get Down" and "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom?"
