Podcast Racing

I have been increasingly disappointed and frustrated with the wavering quality of films and shows in the Marvel Cinematic Universe recently and have decided to stop watching MCU properties after Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3 (at least the ones that take place in the main timeline; Loki and What If still interest me because they take place in other worlds in the multiverse). I still consider mys...

FINALLY! A BRAND NEW EPISODE OF PODCAST RACING! It has been too long since I have released an episode on the podcast and now I am back with my good friend MaryAnn to discuss the careers of several singers turned actors. We will NOT be discussing the careers of actors who just so happen to also be good singers, such as Emma Stone or Anne Hathaway. I have been eager to resume the podcast and I am ha...

It’s no surprise that movies such as Lightyear, which is coming to theaters today, are usually made just to sell toys and other merchandise to impressionable kids and Toy Story fans.  But for some reason, studios and toy companies occasionally think that it’s a good idea to sell toys to kids that are based off of movies that are too violent or mature for kids to watch, such as the Terminator...

You’ve all heard stories about how children of famous celebrities leech off their parents’ success in order to have careers of their own…but how much of it is truly a shallow attempt of reaching high levels of fame and how much of it are real earnest attempts to prove themselves as true thespians?  In today’s episode, MaryAnn and I address nepotism in Hollywood, analyze the careers of famous...

Due to the (still ongoing) pandemic, there were no blockbuster films released last summer to help theaters financially and help studios determine which ideas would work and which wouldn't.  This year, studios were much more comfortable releasing films that could be potential hits and revive the box office.  And revive the box office it (kind of) did.  But should the movies themselve...

In today's episode, MaryAnn and I will discuss what we think is the best year for movies (which year had the best or most iconic films released in said year).  In recent history, some amazing movies were released in 2014 and 2019.  But are either of this years our personal favorites in cinematic history?  Find out in today's episode!  Hope you're all doing well.
