Ep. 72: Paw Patrol

In this week's podcast, we discuss Kara and Michael's favorite YouTube channel...Snake Discovery! Kara takes us on a tour of their own little reptile zoo and fills us in on her true feelings about Snake Discovery.

This week we go where the podcast hasn't gone before...YouTube! We're starting off with Brina and Arthur's favorite channel...Jillian and Addie! Haven't heard of it? Neither had Kara. So tune in and learn together! And while we're here...let's talk all things YouTube and parenting, shall we?

Did you know three popular characters from Sesame Street have been turned into robots and given their own show? Kara didn't know either - but thankfully Brina brought Mecha Builders to the podcast for us to review! This preschool hit from 2022 seems like a slam-dunk YES...but is it? Tune in to Should They Watch It to find out!

This week, we're reviewing Ready Jet Go! from PBS Kids. Our review leads to a conversation about Brina's son's new glasses and Kara's kiddo's new hobby. Let us know what you think about this week's review!

On this week's podcast, we're headed to 1982 California to see if Steven Spielberg's beloved E.T.  still holds up today. There may be a few things you don't remember from this classic that might be inappropriate for younger viewers. Plus, we take a deep dive on fun facts from filming you may not know about!

This week, we're going to boldly go where no podcast has gone before with our review of Star Trek: Prodigy. This most recent journey with the Star Fleet is aimed at those 7-plus, and we're going to let you know if it's worth the trip into the great beyond. Tune in and let us know what you think!

You may remember the 90's hit, Matilda starring Danny DeVito and Rhea Perlman. Netflix has now brought us Matilda the Musical, based more closely on the original novel and the broadway musical of the same name. A musical? For kids? Seems like a slam-dunk, right? Well, it's not going to be right for ALL kids and we'll break down the details as to why in this week's podcast.

This week, Brina and Kara are diving into the MEGA hit - Paw Patrol. Your kids are likely eating out of their Paw Patrol dishes while wearing their Paw Patrol jammies and playing with their Paw Patrol playset...but what do we think of this series overall? And exactly how does this lead to a conversation about capitalism and our government?! Oh boy, we're bringing all the crazy theories and fun facts this week - tune in!

Netflix has a new original show: My Dad the Bounty Hunter, which brings us space exploration, alien battles, and some intense family drama - all in one! This very original CGI animation is one you won't want to miss...but there are some things you should be aware of before viewing with your younger children. We'll let you know all of our thoughts (there are definitely spoilers) and wrap it up with a discussion about a couple of classic books Kara recently read with her son that may or may not have held up in today's world (The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Where The Red Fern Grows). Let us know what you think!

This week, we're headed back to the late 80's to discuss a movie from our childhoods...Beetlejuice! Starring Michael Keaton, Geena Davis, Catherine O'Hara, Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin and more, does this star-studded movie hold up in today's world? We'll dissect it and see!Trigger Warning: death, grief, and suicide
