Trying out some new ideas in-between the usual content I'm packed with working on. I love my niece and her high-spirited randomness that comes with being a youngster. Why not try a mini talk with THE Kennedy The Kid, starting with her favorite movie Tarzan.
She loved doing this so much that she changed her mind on wanting to end at the last minute for a few more words of wisdom. Nevertheless, this is still relatively brief, but you'll get near 7 minutes of "AWW"!

On today's episode of "The Pond Theater", we talk about some silly news regarding a sexy Mr. Rogers and a museum that screwed up like the Fyre Festival. Then, I talk about Dallas VideoFest and what you should know going into it. Lastly, I celebrate the return of Spidey with Marvel with some minor concerns and break some truth about this so-call dangerous movie known as "Joker".

On this episode of The Pond Theater, I start things off by going off course for a bit to wrestle with my cat and talk about the Aria 51 Raid aftermath and how ridiculous it is. Then, I review #RamboLastBlood, #DowntonAbbeyMovie, #AdAstra and my thoughts on the #BirdsofPrey story leaks without spoiling. Check it out!
I interview Gregory Tull about his talent as a stop-motion animator, the process of how he creates, how he ties his religion to his stories and more! Check out his website in the link below!

I'm joined by Joy Schouten as we get to know her and her country for little bit, then I give my review for #Hustlers2019, which is followed by a trailer discussion for #DoomAnnihilation, the great chicken sandwich war of 2019 and a weird news story that happened in the Netherlands.

Better late than never as they say. This was an episode I was wanting to get out last week, but had to fix the sound on my computer first. So, this episode will once again be me catching up with myself as I review #BlindedByTheLight, #ITChapter2, #TheFanatic & #TheDarkCrystalMovie, all in the order of which I've seen them.
How are these films? Find out!
Stay tuned for more as I'll review Hustlers with a guest and interview an animation studio!
