136: Pokemon w/ Michael Natale

•

Have you ever been the very best? Like no one ever was?


Well if you have then you have arrived at the correct episode of Podcast Like its 1999, as this week we welcome Mike Natale (Writer for Comic Book Resources and host of the upcoming You're Missing Out podcast) onto the podcast to talk about the ominously titled POKEMON: THE FIRST MOVIE. 


We get to talking about Pokemon as a multimedia phenomenon in the late 90s and how it just missed some of us age wise, card based box office boosts, how people feel about the movie/animated series in relation to the games and whether or not Pikachu crying brought tears to our eyes. 


Will Phil and Kenny leave the episode wanting to catch them all? Listen to find out.

    Writer/Producer/Cinema Paradiso superfan Stacy Traub (Black-ish/The Real O'Neals) makes her first appearance on the Patreon feed to discuss the Academy Award winning Italian drama CINEMA PARADISO.Having never seen the film before, Kenny offers a fresh take on the failures of the project. Stacy shares how the three hour directors cut almost ruined the entire movie for her. Phil leads a round table discussion on how movie theaters will evolve in a post pandemic world, and what we all consider to be the perfect movie theater experience. And, of course, we discuss how this gentle foreign film ended up as a highly regarded, mainstream classic here in America, the legendary execution of the ending, and the ways in which the central message of theaters losing out to television is still a hot topic today.Find Stacy at: twitter.com/stoocytroobPodcast Like It's 1999: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-like-its-1999Twitter: twitter.com/podcastlike1999Instagram: instagram.com/podcastlike1999Reddit: reddit.com/r/podcastlikeits
