"Silenzio, Bruno!" It's hard to remember a time when Pixar was not at the forefront of animated movies. From Toy Story to Up to Inside Out (and much more) they have always somehow managed to push the boundary of story and animation while being incredibly accessible for the whole family. So join Tuong and Sea Creature/Love Is Pod's Cassie Pyatt as they dive deep into the latest Pixar original and t...

"The streets were made of music". Even if you aren't a Broadway nerd, you probably have at least heard of the hit musical "Hamilton" by now. But long before Hamilton became the musical juggernaut that it is, a young Lin Manuel Miranda made his first masterpiece back in 2008 that also so happened to win Best Musical. Blending a myriad of different styles of music from hip hop to Latin influenced to...

Juggling the fine line between comedy and music, he somehow finds a way to make you laugh, cry, and contemplate the f*cked up world we live in today while also making you bob your head to som...

Question everything (even this podcast). Humans have this undying and relentless need to uncover the truth to things. However, sometimes an answer to a question is not satisfying enough and we are left in this state of "well that's too simple" or "I don't buy it". That's why we gravitate towards conspiracy theories, as wild as some may be. They contain just enough nuggets of truth in there to make...

"It's A Goddamn Zombie Tiger. That's Crossing The Line." George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead (1978) is one of the most beloved and seminal zombie movies in cinema. When Zack Snyder remade it in 2004 it had a high bar to clear which it somehow successfully did, modernizing what a zombie film could be. Well after 15 years, Zack Snyder is taking another crack at the undead with a spiritual successor...

"If we're kind and polite everything will be right." Children's stories don't always translate well to the big screen and when they do, sometimes it's painfully clear they are made 'just for kids'. It takes a special type of movie magic to make a film that is good for the entire family, and there is no better example than the movies we have for today's episode of Talkin' Tuong! This week join Tuon...

Come on down! TV Game shows have been around for a very long time. And while the history of this format has been around forever, the appeal of them has always been the same - that everyday people could win a lot of money by being tested for their mental or physical abilities (or more times than not just dumb luck). So this week join Tuong La and What We Do in the Basement's Jesse Bergen, Natashia...

"I don't ever say a final goodbye. I always just say, I'll see you down the road and I do". Last year was a weird year for movies. Not a lot came out but also not a lot of people were in the mood to watch any of the movies that were contenders for the typical movie award season this year. Well we are in the mood today! So join Tuong and the Dungeon Master of our hearts Josef Addleman as they talk...

There’s no replacing Mickey Mouse, but if he ever needed a sick day, Basil - aka The Great Mouse Detective - would be up to the task. This charismatic rodent and his trusty sidekick Dawson (who he literally JUST met) are here to take on the evil Ratigan and save the day - and the Dummies are along for the hunt!

In the pilot episode of Love Is…, Cassie and Justin debate the merits of Myths and Origins to decide whether cold hard scientific data or the stories we tell get us closer to what love, ultimately, is. Join them for laughs, some stone cold truths, and maybe a couple of Dad jokes. Love is here. Let’s get into it. The post Ep 101 – Myths and Origins appeared first on PodCavern .

“Families can be hard but they are so worth fighting for.” Stop us if you heard this before: A movie about an unlikely group of people saving the world from killer robots. You'd think with the amount of times this type of movie has been done before that there would be no way to tell us this movie in a fresh exciting way. Well we were wrong! This week on Talkin' Tuong join Tuong and Overlord Robot...

We've done Ryans, we've done Chrises, it was only a matter of time until we reached a point to ranking the glorious name that is...Steve!

"Get over here!" A good movie adaptation of a video game is really hard to come by since...well ever. From stinkers like 1993's Super Mario Bros. to Resident Evil to even the new Monster Hunter movie, Hollywood struggles to capture what makes these games so special in the first place. So join Tuong La and Earth Realm's Champion Katie Pagnucco (Improv College) as they discuss if the new Mortal Komb...

Angus and Bubo (Matt Barrow) climb a mountain in search of the village community Sal (Matthew Whalley) has become a part of since leaving S.H.A.R.T. They hope they can convince Sal to come back to Super City with the promise of mountains of paperwork. The post EP39 – The Prodigal Sal Returns appeared first on PodCavern .

If there’s one Disney movie you’ve never seen, it’s probably The Black Cauldron, and it’s worth a watch to understand why. This film has got it all: magic pigs; inconsistent accents; sacrificial sidekicks; glowing orbs that have nothing to do with the plot. Tune in as the Dummies unpack this head-scratcher of a story and take a deep dive into one of Disney’s greatest unsung heroes: Gurgi. The post...
