    Do you know how sometimes life gives you lemons? They say to take those lemons and make lemonade with them, but have you ever made lemonade? Squeezing those lemons takes time! Plus, you have to add so much sugar that stirring it until it dissolves takes forever! My point is that making lemonade takes a lot of time and effort. (I am also now craving a glass of lemonade. What have I done?) Anyway, life has gotten a bit too real for us here at Stolendroids Podcast, so we need to take a minute to catch our breath. But don't worry because we're not going anywhere! We're currently preparing for Salt Lake FanX on September 16th through the 18th at the Salt Palace Convention Center. We will be back in October doing what we love to do. In the meantime, if you have suggestions for topics we should discuss upon our triumphant return, hit us up on Twitter or Facebook and let us know.

  • 439. The Episode with a List

    59:41
    Conventions appear to be happening again, which means people will be spending lots of money. And if you have ever been to a fan convention, you know that a good portion of that money will be spent by those who want to meet their favorite celebrities. But if you have ever paid for a photo op or an autograph, you know that the time you get to spend with the person you're paying to meet is fleeting. Sometimes, you may only get a few seconds with them! But what if you had more time? What if you could talk with them about anything that you wanted? If given the opportunity, what celebrities would you choose to hang out with for a few hours? What would you do with them? What questions would you ask? Listen as our panelists discuss these very questions as they run through a list of celebrities with whom they would like to spend time. How many hobbits and dwarves are on their lists? And what about Norse gods? Check out the latest episode of Stolendroids Podcast, and then let us know who makes your list!
  • 438. The Loki and Sylvie (Not Mobius) Show

    01:05:09
    Another Marvel television show has come and gone, but this time things are different. Unlike WandaVision or The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Loki feels like an extremely important part of the MCU as we enter a new phase of storytelling. Why would we say that? Listen to week's episode of Stolendroids Podcast to find out. But Loki isn't the only thing going on in the Stolendroids Universe. Black Widow is suing the Mouse, Kevin Smith's Masters of the Universe: Revelation is predictably angering fanboys everywhere, and LeBron James continues to show why he will never be better than Michael Jordan. And not just on the basketball court either. Yep! We're talking Space Jam!
  • 437. Black Widow's Box Office Bull's-Eye

    51:05
    After numerous delays, Marvel's Black Widow finally arrived in theaters. And Disney+. Yep. In addition to a theatrical release where the latest chapter in the MCU scored $158 million in its first three days at the global box office, Disney also released the anticipated film through Disney+ Premier Access. But the move appears to have been a wise one since it earned more than $60 million through the popular streaming service during its opening weekend.Based on its earnings, it looks like Black Widow is a hit, but is it any good? We break it down on this week's episode of Stolendroids Podcast. Listen as we discuss what we like (and what we don't) about the movie, then let us know your thoughts. And do you think that this is a movie best watched in a theater, or is it okay to watch at home? Let us know!

  • 436. Don't Be a Spoiler

    36:52
    It's Wednesday morning. You're at work sitting in another unnecessary Zoom meeting that really should have been an email. Hoping to make the next hour of your life more tolerable, you visit your favorite social media sites and begin scrolling. Within seconds you are bombarded with spoilers from the newest episode of Loki. Seriously? It has only been out for like six hours! How is the Internet already full of spoilers?Does this sound familiar? Maybe it wasn't Loki that was spoiled. Perhaps it was a different movie or TV show. But you know the feeling. That feeling of anger and rage and disappointment in your fellow man. How could they do this to you? Shouldn't there be some sort of etiquette when it comes to this sort of thing? We're right there with you, which is why that's the topic of conversation on this week's Stolendroids Podcast.  What bothers you most about when people share spoilers? What rules do you think there should be about sharing spoilers? Hit us up on social media and let us know. 
  • 435. Who Herds the Herder?

    01:00:03
    Who watches the watchmen? This is a popular translation of "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" from the writings of Juvenal and can be literally translated as "Who will guard the guards themselves?" It's a theme that has become a popular trope throughout pop culture, including movies, television, and comic books. It also happens to permeate our review of Pixar's Luca. While we do manage to talk about Luca, there is just so much more to talk about than just one movie. Seriously, we had the new trailer for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings drop right before we recorded, so you know we had to discuss that. We also had follow-up news from a previous episode that we felt should be talked about. Throw in some Disney+ and Netflix chatter, and where to get a cold drink on a hot day, and you've got this week's episode of Stolendroids Podcast. 
  • 434. Mr. Game and Watch Exhales E3

    57:18
    Utah Remote-Con 2 has come and gone meaning it's time to get back to our somewhat regular schedule. And what better time to get back into the swing of things than right after E3 2021? With the video game industry's biggest event of the year firmly in the rearview mirror, the Stolendroids panelists recap some of this year's highlights as only they can. With some entertaining discussion surrounding E3, video game updates (inspired by Nintendo's lack of Animal Crossing news), and video games in general, you really don't want to miss this episode. And do you remember Gambit from Nintendo's Game & Watch and Super Smash Bros.? Neither does anyone else. Well, maybe one person does. Seriously. This is a fun episode. Give it a listen then and let us know what you think.
