Ep 179 - Happy Meal Toys 3

Remember those awesome Happy Meal toys from when you where growing up? It made sense to get toys based on cartoons, animated movies, and some video games, but what about those IPs that were not so kid friendly? Don’t they deserve the Happy Meal treatment as well? This month we turn some more of our favorite shows, movies and other media into awesome toys.

Ep 163 - Kidults

The media has recently been highlighting how adults have turned to collecting and playing with kids toys, action figures and Lego. They have even given them a new name, “kidults.” But this is not a new thing. Adults have been doing this for decades, maybe forever. Model trains, doll collections and trading cards have been around and were common fixtures in our parents’ and grandparents’ homes. So why is this news now?

Ep 153 - Raising Geeky Kids

Raising your kids to follow in your footsteps has been a thing since the dawn of time and so has rebelling against it. Jocks want to see their kids do well in sports, the local butcher wants to see their kid take over the family business, etc. But when you’re a geek, its our interest we want to share with our offspring. Movies, TV shows, video games, Sci-fi, fantasy, Legos! This month Shaun, Kristen and Eugene are joined by their kids and discuss the things that were hits, the misses and the differences in raising kids in an all digital age.

Ep 151 - Epic Haslab Toys

Haslab, Hasbro’s Kick Starter like branch, just funded a 1:1 Proton Pack from Ghostbusters: Afterlife. They have also done awesome versions of The Razorcrest from The Mandalorian and a remake of the Hero Quest board game. In that spirit, we are coming up with epic, super cool toys we would like to see made. We’re talking $400+ for something we could only dream of as kids… and possibly buy as adults.

Ep 146 - Happy Meal Toys 2

Happy Meal toys were, and probably still are, pretty awesome. Sure they had limited movement, if any, and they weren’t super well built, but getting one was awesome as a kid, especially when you got to collect the whole set! We’re going back to an old topic and making Happy Meal toys for movies that never got them, and in some cases, never should have.

Ep 96 - 70s Pop Culture

Pop culture changes all of the time; constantly adding new and interesting artifacts to add to its ever growing collection. We've decided to look at pop culture through the decades and we're starting with the 70's; the genesis of modern pop culture. Though some of us were born in the late 70's, we're mostly children of the 80's & 90's so we had to do a little research for this one. It's time to go back to the 70's.
