AfterLunch | The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938)

Everyone loves Robin Hood and we're no exceptions. Rob and I welcome Pax, Sue London, and - making his podcasting debut - Sue's husband Devin for the first in a series of episodes about the legendary merry man. Starting with our experiences with the Robin Hood legend in general, the conversation then moves to the classic, 1938 film The Adventures of Robin Hood. Starring of course Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, Basil Rathbone, and Claude Rains.

AfterLunch | Iron Man 3 (Redux) with William Bruce West

On the last episode of AfterLunch, where our MCU panel talked about Iron Man 3, I mentioned that William Bruce West and I had a conversation about the same movie for my former Christmas movie podcast. Even though we did talk about how Iron Man 3 works in some Christmas themes, most of the conversation was about the movie in general. So for that reason, and because William Bruce West is awesome, I thought you might enjoy hearing (or possibly re-hearing) that discussion.

AfterLunch | Iron Man 3

The AfterLunch MCU Panel - Lizzie, Pax, Rob, and I - reconvene to talk about the final film in Marvel's Iron Man trilogy: how it builds on themes from the previous films and whether or not it flows well into what came later. And of course, there are its controversial villains, kid sidekick, and whether or not that ending works super well.

We hope you haven't finished eating all your Halloween candy yet, because Rob and I are joined by Joanna from Bloody Popcorn and my pal Ron Ankeny from Starmeggedon days to determine once and for all, Sweet 16 bracket-style, what the ultimate Halloween treat is. Whether it's what you pass out to trick-or-treaters or what you serve at your Halloween party, it's the season for sweets. And you bet there's some discussion of other Halloween traditions along the way.
