Introduction and Guest Introduction
00:00:00
Speaker
On another exciting entry of animation deliberation, the time has come. The Spider-Verse has returned. We are giving our instant reaction to Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse. We're going to get right into that after this. Sing along if you know the words. One, two, three, it's time for animation deliberation. A conversation and a celebration of our favorite action animated series. Yeah.
00:00:29
Speaker
Welcome to Animation Deliberation, the podcast where we take action animation and cartoons seriously, but not too seriously. My name is Jay Scottie St. Clair, and today I am very excited to be joined by a friend of the show, someone I've wanted to have on the show for a long time. It is the host of the wonderful Captain Game Show, Mr. John Irons. Hey, John, how you doing?
00:00:52
Speaker
I'm doing great. I have listened to you sing that song many, many times, but it is truly a different experience to see it, to witness it live, to see it happen. Great. Yeah. It's been one of those things I've tried to work with some musicians to see if we can get some background music made. And I actually used Fiverr to get this guy to lay some drums, but I just need to work on my vocal timing and figure out how exactly to get that uploaded to our recording software and whatnot.
00:01:21
Speaker
I'm glad that it still entertains. I try to keep it fresh and I love doing it. So I'm glad people enjoy it. Yeah. Yeah. Thought it was great. Yeah. Oh, I don't want to bury the lead here because I know people are excited to hear about Across the Spider-Verse. But one more thing, one of my favorite things is when you sent us your rendition of the I Am Groot to the tune of Animation Deliberation. That was, that was wonderful. So this is my pleasure. Yeah. I was inspired. Good. Good. I'm so glad.
Spoiler-Free Reactions and Film Praise
00:01:48
Speaker
All right. So, um, yeah.
00:01:50
Speaker
We're here to talk about Across the Spider-Verse. This is your spoiler warning. I don't really want to tiptoe around spoilers too much if you find yourself able to, if you want to give maybe just a quick reaction to avoid spoilers, to give people maybe a little bit of a window so they can just hear our initial thoughts and then dip out. But I don't want to dilly-dally too much. So what did you think? I'll give a quick spoiler-free review. Sure.
Visual and Narrative Mastery
00:02:20
Speaker
I thought it was great. I am on record. Into the Spider-Verse is one of my favorite movies. I think it's a practically perfect film. So, I mean, I expected good things, but it was kind of a hard act to follow. And I avoid spoilers, of course, but I avoid trailers. Like the less I know going into a movie, the better.
00:02:48
Speaker
So there are a lot of great surprises in this and you know I don't know if you guys do like a rating scale, but I go for it pretty much Like a 10 out of 10. Yeah, pretty great nice Yeah, likewise. I am. I'm pretty high on this one I really enjoy that into the spider-verse the first one and this like you said it was gonna be a tough act to follow but my expectations were pretty high and Somehow this film exceeded my expectations if that first film
00:03:18
Speaker
like push the envelope, like this one reinvented the envelope. If the first one was cutting edge, this one was bleeding edge. Like it was just, I feel like all my dopamine and serotonin was, was like used during this experience because it was just such a visual treat. And you brought up the trailers. I did watch all the trailers that came out for it and I thought it was an excellent job in terms of the marketing. It teased some things, but I was really impressed with the level of restraint there. Like they,
00:03:47
Speaker
Showcased the spider verse and a lot of the spider people we were going to be exposed to but it really Did not give that much away in terms of the story and I found myself engaged the entire time like not feeling like I had seen any of this before so I was
Engagement and Film's Pace
00:04:07
Speaker
because we were planning when to see it. Like, okay, well, maybe we'll see it Friday, maybe we'll see it Sunday. And I was like, you actually know what? I think I can take the kids to see it tonight. Like, how long is the movie? Like, this movie is two hours and 15 minutes long. It's like a real movie movie. It's not like a kid's movie movie. And you don't, like, I did not feel the two hours and 15 minutes. It went fast. It was like, I mean,
00:04:34
Speaker
bumping up against the spoiler without spoiling. When it ended, I was like, that's the ending? I was not prepared.
Darker Tone and Cliffhanger
00:04:42
Speaker
Yeah, I was prepared and I was actually, I was a little surprised. I guess not very surprised, but when I was leaving the theater, I heard some of the people that I saw the movie with their reactions, they were like, oh, I wasn't expecting to end on such a cliffhanger. And I guess I knew just like having paid close attention to like the announcements surrounding this movie and knowing
00:05:01
Speaker
Some of the things about the production it was marketed as across the spider verse part one for a long time. And then they changed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So I wasn't too surprised, but, um, you mentioned your kids and we can just get into spoilers now. And, um, I am curious about what your kids thought about it because like the first one I felt like did such a great job between, uh, entertaining the kids and having a lot of humor and heart and being like a coming of age story.
00:05:28
Speaker
And I've been on record as kind of saying, like, I felt that first one was kind of like a deconstruction of the character of Spider-Man while it introduced Miles, but was also like a celebration of the legacy of Spider-Man, while this one actually really felt like it was thrusting Miles' story and his journey forward now that he is like Spider-Man in his own right. And to that end, it was a lot darker than the first one for sure. It definitely had comedy, but overall the tone
00:05:56
Speaker
was a lot darker and especially with that cliffhanger ending. So I'm curious what your kids thought about it.
Children's Reactions and Theories
00:06:04
Speaker
Yeah. I didn't, I didn't get a, um, like a full review. Okay. Just the quick, Hey, did you guys like it? They both, they both really liked it. My kids are nine and 12. Okay. And, um, my older child, my daughter, they both watch a lot of YouTube. Okay.
00:06:24
Speaker
So she's like, okay, I have a theory. I'm like, okay, wait, is this a theory? Or is this something that you know, from watching? No, no, it's just a theory. And I'm not gonna say what it was, but she called it. She was correct. It was about the origin of the spider. Which she says she didn't know. I'm gonna take her out of her word. But yeah, it was,
00:06:49
Speaker
Cause they, you know, they love the original as much as I do. And you are, I'm definitely gonna cosign the darker tone. Like you can see physically that Miles is older. Like I think you said like a year and a half older. So, you know, he's several inches taller. He's leaned out. Like he's an older guy. And just in terms of the way the movie presented, it is like the first one,
00:07:19
Speaker
Not that the first one was a kids movie, but this one does have more mature... It doesn't... I was gonna say it doesn't pull any punches. Like, the first one kind of... I mean, it's just... I don't even know how to talk about it, but it's probably the worst thing to say on an animation. No, no, it's all good. No, it's really...
00:07:45
Speaker
it was way more sophisticated than I thought it was gonna be. I guess probably the way, that's what I'm thinking. Yeah, I kind of picked up on a note of melancholy a little bit, especially with the revelations. You mentioned your daughter calling the origin of the spider, and I did a rewatch of the first one the night before I went and saw this one, and it did kind of stick out to me just how much they broadcasted the 42.
00:08:13
Speaker
Obviously, at the time, I didn't really know what to make of that. I knew it was from another dimension, but I just didn't expect for it to factor into the plot that much. I thought that was great.
Multiverse and Storytelling Creativity
00:08:23
Speaker
Some existentialism there, Miles was never supposed to be Spider-Man, and he's kind of, by extension, responsible for Peter's death, and someone tells him just as much. I think Miguel tells him, if Peter Parker hadn't had to save you, he'd still be alive. That's tough.
00:08:44
Speaker
worked in tandem very nicely with the speeches mother gave him about like, no matter where you go, no matter what you see, the places you go, the people you interact with know that you belong, like take care of that kid. And I thought that was, that was a great through line. Like the story did end up on a cliffhanger, but at least we had that as kind of a satisfying story beat that seemed to come full circle. Yeah, it is on a cliffhanger, but
00:09:09
Speaker
they set up, oh, like the people in my theater were pissed. Oh yeah, they were cussing. They were not happy. And it wasn't everybody, but it was a lot of people. This one really was like, I don't get my effing money back, lady.
00:09:27
Speaker
And both my kids were like, initially, they were kind of pissed. I was like, okay, let me remind you how Avengers Infinity War-oriented. Thanos won. He dusted everybody. That was the end of the movie. He's like, yeah, but it's different. It's not different. I guarantee there's going to be another movie and the good Spider-Man are going to win.
00:09:49
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. And we didn't get a post credit scene, which I was completely okay with, with the way it ended. Like we did get that little tag about Miles Morales will return in beyond the spider verse. But, um, uh, you mentioned not feeling the runtime and the pacing being really great. And I completely agree with you. It was pretty much nonstop. If it wasn't information that we were receiving, it was just tantalizing action sequences. And like the same with the first one, like you could pause any frame.
00:10:17
Speaker
of this film and like frame that and put it on your wall and it would be a beautiful piece of art. But what I did find interesting was that I think we've got like a good 15, 20 minutes into the runtime. I never stopped to look at my clock or anything like that because I was engaged, but it's a good chunk of time before we even see Miles again. We really focus on Gwen Stacy and get to see her backstory, which we got snippets of in the first one, but to see it actually play out. And I thought that worked really well to have her
00:10:46
Speaker
kind of be the conduit to introduce this like elite spider verse squad. And then instead of it, like starting with Miles and her having to catch him up, it was like, let's just introduce it, get you more endeared to this character, really be able to feel for her as much as you feel for Miles and just like set up this concept. And I thought it was great.
00:11:12
Speaker
Yeah, I wasn't expecting that at all. And I also thought it was great.
Artistic Animation Praise
00:11:16
Speaker
And it took me a while. This is one of the reasons that I love the original. And it's one of the reasons that I'm pretty sure I'm going to love this one as much, if not more. It is so packed with not even Easter eggs. It's just so well thought out. It's such a well crafted film. Like just little things, little things.
00:11:42
Speaker
Okay, one of my favorite scenes in the first one is they're escaping from Alchemex. Oh yeah, when Olivia Octavius is chasing them. Yeah, and he hits the guy in the head with the bagel and it makes a little sound effect that says bagel. Great. And it's a blink and you'll miss it kind of moment.
00:12:09
Speaker
These films are full of that too. This film is full of that too. And in the opening, in the intro, you know, it starts off on Gwen Stacy's world. And it's similar enough to Miles's world that you don't necessarily pick up on it right away. But the art style is different. The backgrounds are different. The way they move is different. The way they're animated is different.
00:12:35
Speaker
And you know that intellectually because, you know, Anime Chick was anime and, you know, Peter Parker was like, Looney Tunes.
00:12:46
Speaker
all of that still happened in Miles's world. And in this one, we actually go to different, different earths and you see the different animation styles happen there. And they fight a guy from like the Renaissance. Yeah. Vulture, the Vinci Vulture. Yeah. I mean, it's so, it is infinitely creative. It's fantastic. Definitely, definitely.
Spot's Origin and Easter Eggs
00:13:08
Speaker
Yeah.
00:13:10
Speaker
With Gwen Stacy's universe, I really felt like it had a watercolor painterly feel. One thing I really picked up on was the emotion or the sentiment that was being expressed was expressed through cold colors or warm colors when characters were distant from each other and feeling isolated.
00:13:28
Speaker
a cold-colored palette, and then when they embraced, everything got warmer. And I'm actually getting goosebumps right now thinking about them, because it was so wonderful, yeah. And the colors would literally radiate out from their body. You see the background slowly melt. Like you said, it could freeze it, and it's a piece of art. And the way they, I mean, so when they go to the hub,
00:13:57
Speaker
spider people and full disclosure there's probably about three minutes of the film that I didn't see because as I said two hours and 15 minutes and I had a nine-year-old son somebody had to take a quick break oh not even mad at it yeah do you remember around what point it was yeah it was right when it was right after they had saved the captain or right after miles it saved the captain okay okay in
00:14:27
Speaker
Was it Mumbai? Manhattan? Mumbai Manhattan? Yeah, Mumbai Manhattan. And they're like, okay, now we need to definitely go talk to the big boss. And so they were just about to portal and take miles with them. And when I came back, he was kind of getting the tour.
00:14:47
Speaker
Okay. Okay. Well, I don't think I missed much in terms of, I mean, obviously I don't know what I did, what I didn't see, but I don't think I missed much in terms of story. I probably, I'm sure I missed a ton of Easter eggs. Yeah. There, there was like a two, three minute sequence where you just get, there's a spider man from this universe. There's a spider woman from this universe. There's a spider person from this universe. And they like, they,
00:15:09
Speaker
they mentioned the ps4 game you saw his roommate playing it on the station earlier but then they actually they're like we got a video game guy and it's that it's that version of spider-man but uh one of my favorite so when the spot was um you know first figuring out the extent of his powers and he visited like venom's world and you saw the the lady that owns the bodega i thought that was great but they just got better and better like when you saw
00:15:35
Speaker
Donald Glover as Aaron Davis as the prowler like that was I chef's kiss that was so so good And it and it's you know They and they referenced like yeah, that was this this this don't get me started on. Dr. Strange and the nerd We can have it in the multiverse yeah, it's I love
00:16:00
Speaker
this. I love because I'm also on record as saying canon is stupid. Sure. That damn canon is stupid. Because like, you know, people get to tell stories. And once you tell a story, and you're just locked into that being the way that it is forever. Sure. You do the world a disservice. But they it's like they embrace the idea that canon is stupid. But also,
00:16:27
Speaker
It's also their religion. It's done so well that canon is because they, not they necessarily recognize their fictional characters, but because they are these characters. Canon is real. It really is canon. It's their life. It is their lives. It is the life of their universe. Universe is the multiverse.
00:16:56
Speaker
In some ways, it is similar to a lot of the other multiverse stuff that we've seen in the past couple of years. Right. But it's also... It's also a different take in that we, the audience, know, because we know the story of Peter Parker, we know the story of Spider-Man, Spider-People. Right.
00:17:18
Speaker
There's always a radioactive spider. There's always a beloved caretaker person who has to die. There's always great power, great responsibility. There's always big eyes on the costume. There's some things that just are built into the story. And them not only acknowledging that, but forcing it to play out so that spider people can happen.
00:17:48
Speaker
It is a moral ambiguity and consequence. And that's what I mean by more sophisticated. It's a real question. Who's right? Miguel isn't wrong. This stuff is his fault. Yeah, he is the original anomaly. I love that as well. I agree with you that
00:18:15
Speaker
It had a lot in common with a lot of the multiverse stories we've seen, but it almost, um, how do I want to say this? I, I, so like, if, if you look at something like Dr. Strange and the multiverse of madness, or even like Spider-Man, no way home, like they embraced the multiverse, but it's still very much beholden to the narrative and the continuity that they have there. Whereas this one, I feel like it's just kind of like busting the doors open. I think it almost has more in keeping with something like Lego Batman.
Miles Morales' Unique Character Arc
00:18:43
Speaker
which is just like hyper aware of the fact that like this is a franchise. And I think that makes sense with Lord Miller. Like they didn't direct Lego Batman, but they were still very much involved with its production. And yeah, the fact that they call like them cannon events, I feel like it was like thinking about like the Loki series, how we had Nexus events there. And it's like, we're taking Nexus events to like the next level and calling them cannon events. And you know, and as you were talking, I kind of,
00:19:13
Speaker
thought of a better way to articulate it. It's like they represent both caps. Miguel is like, the canon is sacred. I don't know. Some of you guys might be nerds. I don't know. Nerds geeks, fans to the extreme. The canon is important. And Miles is like, no.
00:19:38
Speaker
Cannon's not important. This is my life. I get to write a new story. For sure. And so they literally have a physical representation of that debate on screen. It's just chef's kiss. No, I'm glad you took the opportunity to articulate that better because I think that really just does speak to the character of Miles Morales. That's who he was as a comic book character. We knew Peter Parker as Spider-Man for so long.
00:20:06
Speaker
the creator is escaping my memory right now. Brian, I'm not gonna be able to pull it, but the creator, it was just like, no, Spider-Man does not, and that's what the first film said too. Anyone can wear the mask and just like, yeah. Like I kind of said, just like blew the doors wide open on what it means to be Spider-Man. And yeah, I agree with what you said. That's who Miles is.
00:20:34
Speaker
Not going to go with the status quo. He's going to buck against that and forge his own path, which I think is great. Brian Michael Bendis. Brian Michael Bendis. There it is. Thank you, sir. Thank you for looking that up. Don't thank me. Thank Google. Thank you, Google. But another thing that kind of came to mind is you mentioned the bagel. And I love that the spot himself was like, I was the scientist that you hit with the bagel.
00:21:03
Speaker
So great. Like I was, I made me really happy that I rewatched the movie so recently because like, um, like with this one, like we said, like never a dull moment. Like I feel like that was the same as the first one. Like there's always something to pay attention to. And it just, uh, begs, begs rewatches. And like that makes, that's what makes them so rewatchable. They're so entertaining and there's so much to catch. And this is one I'm definitely going to have to see a few more times. I'm going to see it at least once more.
00:21:30
Speaker
Theaters for sure, but it's it's gonna be a day one purchase when it becomes available Because absolutely I just as was the last one sure. Oh, yeah, definitely. Definitely. Um, I also like that Oh, okay, I also liked that The Spider-Man no way home
00:21:58
Speaker
You know, you kind of had to, I mean, obviously you didn't have to have to, but to fully reap the benefits, you had to have seen the other Spider-Man movies. Sure, sure. Right. This one, those movies are included, but it's so many iterations of Spider-Man. It's like every iteration of Spider-Man. If you watch the sixties cartoon, if you watched like
00:22:21
Speaker
two or three different ones of the Marvel cartoons from the 90s and 2000s. If you read the comics, if you saw those movies, if you saw the MCU movies, like Lego, the video game. If you're a fan of Spider-Man and have seen some Spider-Man before this, then one of your Spider people is in there. Oh, man.
00:22:48
Speaker
I loved Spider Woman, Jessica Drew. And I think I wasn't quite spoiled on that. I knew that people were mad about it, but I didn't know what they were mad about because I didn't read the story. And they're like, oh no, she's black now.
00:23:10
Speaker
Yes. And there is a multiverse of spider people. That's the point. Yeah. The one that you know from the comic book isn't this one. This is a different one. I don't know. Like, how is this the one? And you can accept black and white Spider-Man. You can accept, you know, yeah. Spider-Man. But heaven forbid.
00:23:30
Speaker
You know, people love their fandoms and they want to get protective over them. But I definitely am a proponent of the fact that like some criticism is valid and some is not. And I just think that's an instance where it's it's not just kind of get over it. And if you really do want to like, you know, nitpick her name is Jess Drew, not Jessica Drew. So it doesn't have to be your Jessica Drew from comics if you don't want it to be. But yeah, I thought I thought she was great. I loved Issa Rae.
00:23:55
Speaker
With the first one, I love the spider people we got in that one. It was nice to see Penny again, but I was kind of a little worried as we were getting towards the end. I was like, oh no, are we not going to see Spider-Man Noir? Are we not going to see Spider-Ham? And it was so nice to see them again at the end there. But they gave us a bunch of new ones to love, like David Kaluuya as Hobie Brown, Spider-Punk. He was great. I loved his attitude.
00:24:21
Speaker
Anarchist bent and the fact that like we talked about the different art styles, but he was done in this like propaganda like kind of like Half-hazard like always changing bold outlines like he was great night I did have a hard time understanding him initially but once my ear got kind of attuned to his accent like okay, I'm tracking now this is great and Yeah
00:24:45
Speaker
I love the little, the little word captions at the bottom of the screen. This again, just like a comic book, extra bit of information like this, this character appeared in so-and-so. So good. Yeah. Like I'm, I, Gary, I, I already want to see it again. Yeah. Like I'm, I'm seeing it again on Sunday. I'm like, I see it again on Saturday. Right on. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to see it again. Probably sometime this weekend. I'll have to take a look to see what, uh,
00:25:14
Speaker
Seating availability looks like and whatnot and see if I can bring a friend because I just I want everyone to see this so We agreed to kind of keep this one on the shorter side I also, you know want to leave plenty for my co-host to talk about I know they were very excited to see this one as well and to talk about it But wanted to get something out to the to the listeners as soon as possible. So we just did this instant reaction I'll open up the floor to you if you had any Anything else you wanted to say about it any standout moments any favorite characters that we haven't brought up yet
00:25:43
Speaker
Uh, I really like, um, I like that they showed so much of Miles's parents. Oh yeah.
Role of Miles Morales' Parents
00:25:53
Speaker
Most of the time. And it's, it's, it's a trope that I kind of hate. Well, I don't hate it. I've just come to accept it, but, um, you know, the, if, if a younger person is having some adventure, you know, the parents are generally clueless and not really participating. Um,
00:26:14
Speaker
And these parents are clueless because he's actively hiding it from them. But they're not inattentive parents. They're like, no, I know something's going on. You need to tell us what's going on. It's a major plot point. And it's a major plot point when he does reveal it and it doesn't land because there's no spider. I don't know what Spider-Man is because that I was Spider-Man.
00:26:42
Speaker
Oh, you know what? I will. This will be the last thing I'll say about it. And how well thought out these films are. Again, the first one is one of my favorite movies. And in the original one, he gets bitten and he's like, no, no, no, this can't be what I think it is. He goes, he pokes a spider and it glitches. It actually glitches. And I had always taken that way. Okay, well,
00:27:10
Speaker
And my head cannon was, okay, well it's dead and it's got like the invisibility power. And this is a very artsy film. I figured it was just an artistic approach to show dramatic effect. But no, it actually glitches because it's glitching because it's from another dimension. It's so wonderfully done. Excellent, excellent. Lots of great callbacks, lots of great continuity.
00:27:39
Speaker
rewards those who have, you know, loved the first one and watched it so many times. I did, as you were kind of talking about that, it made me think how they reused the joke when they had the opening fight in the museum with the Renaissance vulture and whatnot. Someone, one of the observers said, I think it's a Banksy. I remember that from the first one specifically. Nice little callback there.
00:28:04
Speaker
But I'd explain that one to the kids. OK. I know there was lots of. Classic artwork, MoMA jokes. OK, yeah, yeah, yeah. The big the balloon, the balloon dog. Yeah, yeah, that was great. Very much looking forward to watching this again. Yeah, yeah. And very much looking forward to beyond the beyond the spider verse, so.
00:28:34
Speaker
Hopefully that doesn't get delayed in the wake of this writer's strike and all these delays that are happening. But I imagine they're pretty far along with production, like having- I was going to ask if there's a speculated or announced release date for that. Let's see. It looks like it's currently slated to release March 29th, 2024. Oh, okay. That is subject to change, but about a year away.
00:29:05
Speaker
that's about what I was expecting. I was hopeful that it'd be like the end of the year. Yeah. Fine. Yeah, it just builds up the anticipation and the hype a little bit more, so. Yeah, and I think this one, we got this one a little earlier than they were initially predicting, too. Well, I think it originally had a release date of like October, and I don't think it was like a rewrite situation. Maybe they need more time on the animation, but I really think that they,
00:29:33
Speaker
Um, it'll be interesting to see what this opening box office does because projections for it were pretty high. And, um, I think they made the right call making this more of like a summer blockbuster release. And I think it'll benefit from, you know, kids being out of school and people being able to see it during the day. And just like us talking about going to see it again, as soon as possible, people's schedules are generally a little more free in the summertime to do that kind of thing. So I think it's, it was a good bet and it'll pay off, but we will, uh, we will see. So.
00:30:02
Speaker
All right. Before we get out of here, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Animation Deliberation is very grateful for our current partnership with the Blendjet. So again, this is a product that I am super happy and grateful to have the opportunity to talk about because it's a product that I use every single day. It has the power of a blender, but it's portable and convenient. So there's not the
00:30:29
Speaker
big to do when it comes to busting out this appliance out of like a cupboard or something like that. I just keep it on my, on top of my dresser and just grab it and go. So super convenient. So the BlendJet 2 is portable. So you can blend up a smoothie at work, a protein shake at the gym, or even a margarita on the beach. It's small enough to fit in a cup holder, but powerful enough to blast through tough ingredients like ice and frozen fruit with ease. BlendJet 2 is whisper quiet. So you can make your morning smoothie without waking up the whole house. And it lasts for 15 plus gents.
00:30:59
Speaker
excuse me, 15 plus blends and recharges quickly via USB-C. And best of all, Blendjet II cleans itself, just blend water with a drop of soap and you're good to go. And I'd be, you know, again, I'd be remiss, sorry to use that word again, but that's just what's coming to mind here. But if I did not talk about, like talking about Spider-Verse and just the sheer variety of art styles and characters that we got to see,
00:31:26
Speaker
That ties right into the blendjet because they have over 30 cool colors and patterns to choose from. And as animation fans, it's pretty awesome that they have lines dedicated to some of our favorite animation franchises like Pixar. There's a whole Toy Story line. So I encourage you to check it out and pick the one that speaks to you and your fandom. And they've also recently introduced the Orbiter lid. This is a leak-proof lid. So your favorite ensemble is safe from spillage with this lid.
00:31:53
Speaker
It's got one-hand convenience. You've got your hands full. Luckily, you only need a thumb to open this lid. It's got a large opening that's perfect for thick smoothies. There's even room for a straw if that's the way you like to sip. And it's self-cleaning. Simply spin the lid and rinse. It's engineered to keep spills at bay. So what are you waiting for?

00:32:47
Speaker
wonderfully entertaining podcast. It's got great witty games and interactivity and it's just very evident about the amount of work that you put into it and the dedication that you have. So it's always an entertaining lesson and I've had the pleasure of appearing on it and had a lot of fun.
00:33:06
Speaker
Yeah, I should have you back. My production has slowed of late. It used to be weekly. And now it's more like two, three times a month, ideally. But yeah, your ad for me was better than anything I would have said. Yeah, it's a trivia word play.
00:33:32
Speaker
improv and every season, in addition to the games that we play on the episode, there is a hidden game that runs through the entire season. Find the clues, follow the path, solve the riddle, let it arise. Yeah, Captain Game Show, on the Infinite Potato Alliance, anywhere you find your fine podcasts. Right on, yeah, I think I tried.
00:33:58
Speaker
to play the hidden game a couple of seasons back. And I'm not smart enough for that. I was very, very confused and very lost, but that's okay. It was still fun. As for me, I've been appearing on a lot of podcasts on the Stranded Panda Network.
Podcast Appearances

Speaker
blockbuster film news streaming news, all that stuff. So I encourage you to check that out. And the Benjers Assemble Benjers Assemble series on the mission of possible films has just started. So we've got six films to cover before Dead Reckoning Part One drops in July. And that's a lot of fun. I really enjoy that team over there. So please check it out.
