08 Unexpected Stalk-Eye Erection

This episode was recorded a year from the day we started doing this podcast! We've had a lot of fun and watched a lot of garbage. This week Jake and Sky have the pleasure of two guests from the SmashFiction podcast, Kit and MeganBob! There was a lot to discuss. Kit and Bob prove their improv skills by "yes, and"ing us, we go over the 4 kinds of people in the world, there is an abundance of talk of cloacas & poop, we fret over Ax's digestive tract, and Ax "fights" Visser 3. Thanks to everyone for an awesome year!

07 Oatmeal = Drugs

This week is the oatmeal episode. It is what they refer to as "a doozy." Jake and Sky are joined by a returning guest James as they try to unpack the madness of the episode. We wince at the unfortunate portrayal of the mentally ill, discuss how Rachel really could be making better use of that Lion morph, and the kids huck water balloons filled with neurotoxin. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.compopculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus James: @discord_inc, @AxalonArchives

06 Trying to Sound Profound, But Really Just Making a Very Long Title

This Week Jake and Sky are joined by a returning guest, Alan Sells! We gathered round the old internet box to watch Animorphs Episode 6 The Message. We speculate about language that is telepathic, lament the lack of Rachel, mock everyone for their poor decision making skills, and laugh at the extremely poor Andelite costumes. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus Alan:@Alan_Sells @PWTpodcast, @CKTcast, @rebootcast, @Forging_Worlds

05 It's Both Satisfying and Delicious

The Yeerk invasion rages on in episode 5 of the Nick adaptation of Animorphs: Between Friends. We discuss how Rachel's morph arsenal is top to bottom cats, how little sense it makes for Yeerks to honor any deal they make with their hosts, Cassie continues to not morph, and how none of the Animorphs is good at keeping a low profile. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

04 Marco Gets Thrown Away

This week Sky and Jake watch Animorphs episode 4 "On The Run" Not a lot happens. We discuss the natural habitats of teens and andelites, how the Sharing's pitch is pretty lackluster, and struggle to remember what '95 internet was like. We also briefly gloss over how Tobias isn't in this episode, just like the show does. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

03 Just Make a Foofer Sound

This week Sky and Jake follow the Animorphs into the yeerk pool in episode 3 of Nickelodeon's Animorphs, "the Underground" We discuss Marco's awesome orange jacket, Cassie has a flawless way to calm jungle cats down, how anyone itching their ear definitely has an alien in their brain, Jake (not the character) decides he should start twisting all the hooks and whatnot in his janitor's closet, and Chapman really hates lizards for some unaddressed reason. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.compopculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

02 They Painted Half a Horse

Invasion week two. We watched My Name is Jake Part 2 of Nickelodeon's Animorph adaptation. We discuss how apparently its super easy to morph clothes after all, no one has a cool morph yet, and Tobias is a creepy flake. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

01 The Dog Saves the Day

Welcome! Jake and Sky are back! The Yeerk invasion starts as they watch episode one "My Name is Jake" of the Nickelodeon adaptation of Animorphs! The guys discuss how Animorphs was part of their friendship before they were friends, having a main character share a name with a host gets confusing, Jake compares Sky to C3-P0, and Tobias sucks at catching. http://popculturefailure.podomatic.compopculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

08 The Last Stand of Eldrac

This is it guys! We watched episode 8 of Marve's Inhumans, "...And Finally: Balackbolt" Everything has come to a confusing head as we end the best (and only) Inhumans tv show ever made. We discuss how a teleporting dog plugs your plot holes, how remarkably competent Triton is, and how shockingly useful Eldrac, the guy who is just a wall, was. Thanks for sticking with us as we finished another less than great series! We'll be back in 2 weeks with Animorphs! http://popculturefailure.podomatic.compopculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus

07 Pop Culture Manifesto

This week we watch Havoc in the Hidden Land, episode 7 of Marvel's Inhumans. We discuss how much we miss Louise, attempt to figure out how Teragenisis works, and how we've fully turned on Max. He is the WORST http://popculturefailure.podomatic.com popculturefailure@gmail.com Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
