Saturday Morning Cereal

Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world, and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. It’s all Frights and Delights tonight, as we get you into a Boo-Berry marshmallow mood for this special time of year. That’s right, go out and buy your seasonal monster cereals while you can find them, cause it’s time for our “cerealized” version of a Halloween Special, The 9th Annual Franken Berry Season Primetime Special!  This year, we get WEIRD with our guest, the writer and director of future cult classic, Tim Travers & The Time Travelers Paradox, Stimson Snead. Going all the way back to maybe the worlds first science fiction, the mad scientist has been an integral contributor to our pop-culture. From Frankenstein to Dr. Jeckle to Back to the Future’s Dr. Brown and this Tim Travers dude, the mad scientist has been a stand in for a god complex in an unpredictable world. Hosted by Grimtales Shea, Markeeeekaghost and Johnny The Hacker we  ask…Would you if you could? Could you if you should? We’ll never know but we just can’t get enough of their madcap hijinks and the pop-culture that they create! Now go grab a buddy and a Monstermallow cereal and watch a scary movie in the dark, it’s Franken Berry Season y’all!

Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week we present a SDCC24 roundtable conversation with UFC and WWE champion, multi-ESPY award winner, Olympic judo medalist, Hollywood actress, and now graphic novelist RondaRousey. That’s right! THE RONDA ROUSEY actually went to San Diego Comic-Con 2024 and no, it wasn’t to kick ass and take names but rather to discuss her debut graphic novel Expecting the Unexpected and her journeys after stepping out of the ring and into the world of comic books. Eisner Award winning artist MikeDeodato, Jr. (Avengers,TheFlash) and AWA Chief Creative Officer AxelAlonso also join the roundtable to celebrate the book’s launch and the innovative creative process behind this powerful project. Join hosts Grim Shea and Marke as they get back in the swing of things and kick off our 12th season with a world champion premier guest! Created by Ronda Rousey & AWA Studios, EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED tells the story of a pregnant assassin balancing creating life and taking them. It’s funny, it’s touching, it’s full of action – it’s totally Ronda! “Conceived”/penned by Rousey, edited by Alonso with art by Deodato, Jr., the graphic novel draws on Rousey’s incredible career in the ring and pairs it with Deodato’s martial arts background to create the most accurate and action-packed fight scenes in comics!

The Saturday Morning Cereal Show: The show that celebrates the themes of Saturday morning TV that not only we grew up with but that grew up with us, reminds you to take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week, it's No Badge Required as we “take it outside” of San Diego Comic Con with special guest, composer JoanneHigginbottom (SamuraiJack, Primal, CriminalMinds). It’s July. It’s San Diego. It’s Comic-Con! And this is absolutely not a San Diego Comic-Con preview show! That’s right, instead of talking about what may happen at Comic-Con 2024 we are going to talk about what does happen, outside of the San Diego Convention Center every year, with a spirited walk down memory lane to discuss our favorite outside installations and exhibits that we’ve seen over the years. To lead our "no badge required" conversation, we crack open the SDCC23 audio vault, to debut our 1-on-1 interview with composer Joanne Higginbottom recorded on the day of her rock star performance alongside fellow composer Tyler Bates and a live orchestra at the Genndy Tartakovsky Musical Experience. This concert was held at the Adult Swim Festival On The Green carnival installation outside of SDCC featuring the music from Adult Swim’s shows Primal and Unicorn: Warriors Eternal. Join Dan “Grim” Shea, Marke., and Johnny Heck as they host our season 11 finale and rock out with their comic-con’s out…side!

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world, and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week, we celebrate May the 4th and the silver anniversary of The Phantom Menace with writer, podcaster Marc Bernardin. Snap hiss back to a more civilized time. A time before, the internet, podcasts, reaction videos and the scummiest & villainous of them all the  “Fandom Menace”. Star Wars had been out of theaters for 15 years. GI Joes, Transformers, TMNT and even The Power Rangers had taken over toy shelves across the USA. And then came a movie that changed it all… Meet Joe Black. Well, not exactly Meet Joe Black but rather the world debut of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace trailer and we haven’t stopped talking about Star Wars since.    Have you accepted Jar Jar Binks as your holy savior? Join Grim Shea, Marke, Johnny Heck and The Retro Cool Nerd Jimmy Leszczynski as they blast back to 1999 and where they were physically & psychologically for the theatrical return of Star Wars. Recorded live from the Golden Apple Foundation booth at WonderCon 2024, our guest Marc Bernardin is a monster of modern fandom. He’s written for LA Times, Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly and staff writer for Alphas, Castle Rock, Treadstone and Carnival Row. He’s co-hosted Batman Beyond with Kevin Smith and The Battlestar Galacticast with Tricia Helfer but he comes to use as a comic book writer on the new Mace Windu series for Marvel. And if his cred couldn’t get any more incredulous, he’s also written for DC & Image Comics where in 2018, he won an Inkpot Award by CCI. I have a good feeling about this!

This week, we talk sci-fi and 80’s catch phrases with our guest, director and producer Richard Bakewell. What if the past you remember didn’t really happen? That’s the simple premise of filmmaker Richard Bakewell’s character-driven, science fiction drama, ROSWELL DELIRIUM, which centers around a young woman who survives nuclear disaster and alien encounters, only to slowly discover that the events she remembers are distorted by her traumatic experiences. It’s an award winning sci-fi movie that gets meta with 80’s catch phrases and an 80’s TV and movie star cast including Anthony Michael Hall, Lisa Whelchel, Dee Wallace, Sam Jones, and Reginald VelJohnson, playing characters in an 80’s alternate reality dystopia. Join Dan “Grim” Shea, Marke., and the “Retro Cool Nerd” Jimmy Leszczynski as they unpack what it is to be a sci-fi movie and remember, poorly, a few of those “Silly Rabbit, Trix are for Kids” 80’s catch phrases.

Built like a Michelangelo sculpture, Reacher is a drifter roaming the United States taking odd jobs and always finding himself in dangerous situations. He's a kind soul, always ready to help a person in need and do what’s right even if that means flexing his massive muscle and deadly military training to fight for truth and justice.

This week we catch a movie, the San Diego Comic-Con way! Going back to the early aughts and our groups very first encounters with Comic-Con, there has always been one thing that you can count on to be great in every way… the DC Animated Movie Premiere! That’s right, for many of us Comic-Con goers, the very first signs that comic books were about to hit the mainstream were watching those very same books, not just superheroes, leap from page to screen. This all started with the 2007 release of Superman: Doomsday a faithful adaptation of the Death of Superman event that saw the death and resurrection of the worlds greatest and 1st superhero. It was a glorious event that was celebrated with SWAG, exhibits, a world premier and panel. Since that awesome night, SDCC has seen many fan favs like, Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, Flashpoint Paradox, and The Killing Joke. So, let’s look at SDCC’s DC Animated Movie Premiere Nights through the lens of SDCC22 and the release of Green Lantern: Beware My Power with some of the movie's voice talent including AldisHodge (Black Adam), “Green Lantern John Stewart”, JimmiSimpson (Westworld), “Green Arrow”, JamieGrayHyder (Law & Order: SVU), “Hawkgirl”, BrianBloom, (The A-Team), "Adam Strange".

This week we catch a ride on the Mystery Machine! Launched as a Saturday morning cartoon in 1969, writers Joe Ruby and Ken Spears AKA “Ruby-Spears” created the original series “Scooby-Doo, Where are you!” for Hanna-Barbara Productions where it would go on to produce countless cartoon series spinoffs, animated and live action films. Zoinks, that's a tasty Scooby Snack! To help with our Scooby talk we have two Scooby-Doo universe guests, the embodiment of “Shaggy” Matthew Lillard (Scream, Scooby Doo) and a voice of “Velma” Kate Micucci (Scrubs, Garfunkel and Oats) Actor Matthew Lillard first got our attention as the killer accomplice “Stuart” in the hit horror movie Scream. But what Matthew is synonymous for is as Scooby’s two legged BFF “Shaggy”. He’s the first actor to portray “Shaggy” in the 2002 live action hit Scooby-Doo (written by James Gunn) with the all star cast of Freddie Prince JR.Sarah Michelle Gellar and Linda Cardalini. Since that one-screen debut, Matthew has gone on to reprise his “Shaggy” in a live action sequel and voiced the character about 50 more times in various animated movies and shows. Comedian, actress and musician Kate Micucci has 154 IMDB credits. She’s funny, cute as a button and plays a wicked banjo! Besides all that, she has voiced “Velma” 18 times going back to 2015 in various animated TV films and shows. Join Grim Shea, Marke, and Bleeding Cool’s Jimmy The Gent to celebrate one of the greatest cartoons and CU’s to have ever graced the small and large screens, Scooby-Doo!

This week we we remember, rehearse and reboot with guests Daphne Maxwell Reid and Michelle Danner. Everyone remembers Reid as an iconic TV mom of the 1990s, from her three seasons as "Aunt Vivian" on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. And Reid couldn’t be more excited when the cast reunited 30 years later for an unscripted reunion special that aired on HBO Max. These days Reid is a Renaissance woman, respected artist, designer and education activist. Daphne is living proof that a passion for creativity and a dedication to hard work can ensure a lifetime’s worth of success. And if that weren’t enough… There aren’t many people who can point to a career full of success as a performer, teacher, storyteller, entrepreneur, and expert.  But Michelle Danner can. The legendary acting teacher and co-founder of the Edgemar Center for the Arts and the Los Angeles Acting Conservatory joins us to talk about here craft and her well-established success as a feature film director.   Danner’s latest film Bad Impulse, is a psychological thriller about family secrets and modern technology. The film won Best Narrative Feature at the International Independent Film Awards and the Best Director Award at the Culver City Film Festival. Join hosts Grim Shea, Marke and Bleeding Cool’s Jimmy the Gent as they try to keep up with the icon and the teacher to maybe learn something about the pop-culture that can’t stop remaking itself and a little bit about themselves in the process.
