The Cereal Show

After three years and three months, The Cereal Show draws to a close. In this final episode Drayton, Quinn, and Seth discuss Dribby’s favourite movie of all time, Surf’s Up. We’re joined by multiple community takes as we discuss how amazing Chicken Joe is before taking a trip down memory lane and inviting a special guest on at the end. Whether you’re tuning in now or have been since the tech news days, thank you for the support - it’s meant so much to all three of us. We never would’ve imagined so many would choose to listen to our rants, opinions, and jokes, and though we still might not know why, we’re glad we could’ve kept you company on long days, commutes, or just to be white noise.

We wanted to do a spiderman movie, so we put it to you guys, and what won out was the very first one, what a great place to start! Was the birth of Spider-Man the best one?

Another Star Wars movie, because who doesn’t like a little controversy. Did Solo become a Cereal Show favourite or fall flat? We discuss fan service, the “all is lost” part of a good story, how the expanded universe snuck in, and if Qi’ra was really a bad guy.

Is this podcast real? Is it just something presented to you in order to make you accept this reality in which you are living? That’s a bit too deep, what I can answer, however, is that we’re discussing the Truman Show in this episode of The Cereal Show! Does it fall flat on its philosophical face, or is there some true substance, comedy, and themes to the movie?  Also, applejacks anyone?  (Please check the parent’s guide on IMDB before deciding if this is a movie you would be comfortable watching) - Timestamps:  (2:09) - Ratings and Taglines (6:04) - Synopsis and Parents Guide (9:08) - Quinn murders Seth in front of witnesses (9:52) - Initial thoughts after the movie (15:53) - Comedy or tragedy?

In this episode we take on one of Seth and Quinn’s childhood movies, is it a nostalgia-filled dumpster fire, or does it still hold up as a sensitive beautiful movie with deep themes? Seth receives a death threat in the mail and also seems to hate children, all that goodness and more in this week’s movie review.
