Show notes

This week, we skip nerd news to have a spontaneous conversation about anime, and while that doesn’t have anything to do with our topic of the week, we felt it in our hearts. The real topic is Indoor Theme Parks. Learn about the world’s longest freestanding escalator, marvel at the massive pink dome at Circus Cirus, hear Brenda talk about an obscure car-themed theme park in Flint Michigan, and much more! Guest-starring two phone calls from Brenda’s boss, and one cameo from Brenda’s Dad’s cat, Lucky.

How did the Mortal Kombat movie manage to break the "Video Game Movie Curse" all the way back in 1995? We’re here to tell you!

Welcome back mystorians. I missed you. I hope you are well. In this episode Hosts Austin and Brenda cover the 90’s Millenial cult classic: A Goofy Movie...and the sequel too I guess. Get ready for a discussion about a hellish nonexistent Mickey Mouse-shaped hotel, Host Brenda’s absolutely deplorable Goofy impression, and more infor about Jeffery Katzenberg than you were probably expecting. (Insert witty Powerline reference here).

This week, Hosts Austin and Brenda try something new: answering questions from listeners! Why do Neopets look like they're stuck in 1999? What is a TTRPG? Our favorite Sailor Moon villains? All these questions answered, and probably a little bit too much ranting about Batman’s wedding.
