The greatest sequel made? In history, even? Oh, you better believe it! The first film in the 80's, "Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)" is Scott's all-time favorite movie, not only in Star Wars, but the entire universe.

The Muppet Movie - 1979

October 25, 2021 06:20 - 1 hour - 54.7 MB

Hi-ho, gang! It's time to play the music, it's time to light the lights - It's time to meet the Muppets on our Podcast, here, tonight! From their humble television beginnings comes "The Muppet Movie" (1979), the first of many feature-length films to come. A personal favorite of both Lindsay and Scott, this will absolutely not be our last stint into the wonderful, musical world of Jim Henson's most beloved characters, but you gotta start somewhere, right?

The Hobbit - 1977

October 22, 2021 15:54 - 1 hour - 98.3 MB

It's finally here. The moment Lindsay's all been waiting for! We've arrived at Rankin and Bass's 1977 animated... uhm... "masterpiece", I guess(?): "The Hobbit". The first film adaption of Tolkien's great works, this episode finds Behind The Timeline exploring the wonderfully chaotic story of Bilbo Baggins and his journey across Middle-Earth; Join us for all of Scott's questions and all of Lindsay's patience trying not to strangle him for not knowing stuff. (With Special Guest: Andrew C)

Pete's Dragon - 1977

October 18, 2021 08:50 - 55 minutes - 128 MB

Pullama... uhm. No, Poddama... Nah. No, I got it! Pass-...on this movie! Lindsay's first (and likely only) adventure with "Pete's Dragon" (1977) did not play out anywhere near as favorably as "Mary Poppins" had. And Scott's rewatch as an adult really brought new angles to this strangely long and musically-overstuffed partly-animated feature. But, we love you so here's the break down!

The PCPB - Ep. 3

October 14, 2021 06:01 - 58 minutes - 134 MB

You'll never believe this - we're back! That's right, folks: Your number one source for all the things we thought were important in the world of Pop Culture is back with another episode. Today, we discuss the new GoT spin-off, even MORE WoT (if that's even possible) sneak peaks and the break down of a most hilarious addition to the Muppet filmography: Muppet Haunted Mansion!!

The Rescuers - 1977

October 11, 2021 03:19 - 1 hour - 168 MB

And right back to another Disney film we go! This time it's "The Rescuers" (1977), the cult-classic tale that actually became something of a nightmare scenario for Scott while re-watching it. Take a deep dive into the mind of The Cool Uncle as we try to wrap our heads around the craziness that was this movie!!

Venom: Let There Be Carnage - Review

October 08, 2021 04:11 - 1 hour - 169 MB

Back to back episodes revolving around Scott's favorite things? Whatta treat, I tell you! Despite Lindsay's best efforts to keep the topic on track, it surely is no surprise (it was inevitable) we go off on some long-winded rants and tirades as we review "Venom: Let There Be Carnage" (2021). Come take a listen!

Star Wars - Ep. IV: A New Hope - 1977

October 04, 2021 16:57 - 1 hour - 229 MB

"It was foretold that you would be here; Our long awaited meeting has come at last." We've arrive, ladies and gentlemen. The greatest pillar of Scott's personality has finally hit the timeline. You better believe we go off the rails more than a few times this episode so chart your navi-computers, secure your astromechs and punch it! We're going into "Star Wars - Ep. IV: A New Hope" (1977) for a wild ride!

Robin Hood - 1973

September 29, 2021 08:03 - 1 hour - 138 MB

Oodalolly, oodalolly, golly what a ... fox? Idk, man... Lindsay's got the hots for this guy somethin' fierce! Find out why (and more) as we examine "Robin Hood" (1973) - and maybe deal with some not-so-suppressed anthropomorphic attraction.

The Jungle Book - 1967

September 29, 2021 07:55 - 1 hour - 143 MB

Well... didn't really expect to return to another Disney film with no real lessons or teaching moment(s) so quickly, but here we are! "The Jungle Book" (1967) may have some serious bops, but that can't save it from our break down. Brace yourselves - we really dug into this one!

The PCPB - Ep. 1

September 29, 2021 07:50 - 1 hour - 167 MB

We've had a shift in policy that has changed our formula, some. Here's the narrative: This is the first episode of PCPB - Pop Culture Playback - where we will review Pop Culture news, shows and articles occurring in the week prior to posting.

Mary Poppins - 1964

September 29, 2021 07:46 - 1 hour - 161 MB

Did y'all know Lindsay had never seen this? Because I did. And it scared the shit out of me when we finally arrived at "Mary Poppins" (1964). All I'm gonna say is: Thank god she loved it because I have no clue what I would've done.

What If...? S1E6 - Review and Discussion

September 29, 2021 07:41 - 54 minutes - 125 MB

Sup, Nerds! Welcome back around for another scoop of What If...? ice cream. Sorry, I don't know what came over me. That was bad. Anywhoodles, tonight we dive into the concept of Killmonger saving Tony Stark's life, and all the twists and turns that takes! Join us, won't you?

The Sword in the Stone - 1963

September 29, 2021 07:36 - 1 hour - 149 MB

We aren't honestly sure what this movie was even about... or really what the point even was. But, hey! Scott won money in the middle of it so... Go, Ravens? Anyway, join us as we laugh through the madness of Madam Mim, the stoic wisdom of Archimedes and the acid-tripping gazes of Arthur in "The Sword in the Stone" (1963)!

What If...? S1E5 - Review and Discussion

September 29, 2021 07:30 - 41 minutes - 95.3 MB

Braaaaaaiiiiinnnnnnssssss!! Ok, so they don't actually say that in ANY recent Zombie media... but you get the idea. Marvel's What If...? brings us the undead, talking heads and tons of secret callbacks to other properties. Come ponder the questions with us.

What If...? S1E4 - Review and Discussion

September 29, 2021 06:38 - 54 minutes - 126 MB

Did you see that ending coming? We didn't! The fourth episode of Marvel's "What If...?" (2021) was definitely different take than we were expecting, but damn was it awesome!

Peter Pan - 1953

September 29, 2021 05:50 - 1 hour - 177 MB

Ok, were we a little dramatic this time? We might've been - I dunno. But, so was this movie, so it works, ok? "Peter Pan" (1953) has way more violence than we remembered, plus a couple more not-so-child-friendly surprises waiting for us. Come take a listen!

What If...? S1E3 - Review and Discussion

September 29, 2021 04:45 - 47 minutes - 108 MB

Was it Winter Soldier? Loki? HYDRA? Listen in on our take of Marvel's "What If...?" (2021) third episode and find out just how this so-so show finally found it's footing with us!

Alice In Wonderland - 1951

September 29, 2021 03:18 - 1 hour - 161 MB

What If...? S1E2 - Review and Discussion

September 29, 2021 03:14 - 52 minutes - 120 MB

Back with another dip into the "What If...?" (2021) pool with the second episode, where we explore the idea of T'Challa, NOT Peter Quill, being picked up by the Ravagers in the '80's and raised to scour the cosmos as the legendary outlaw, Star-Lord, himself! Buckle up, Nerds!!

Cinderella - 1950

September 29, 2021 02:48 - 1 hour - 224 MB

Holy. Sh*t! We've arrived at the Silver Age of Disney - and what a way to begin. Today, we discuss the masterpiece that is Cinderella (1950) and all its beauty, music, villainy and ... similarities to Aladdin? Wait...?

September 29, 2021 02:25 - 48 minutes - 110 MB

It's finally here! Disney+'s brand new Marvel show, "What If...?" (2021) has arrived. And right here, right before your ears, we discuss it's story, characters and the cheap Prada knock-off plot lines that ran the length of its first episode. Buckle up for adventure!

The Suicide Squad - 2021

September 29, 2021 02:17 - 1 hour - 268 MB

Using the super-sweet powers of time, we jump all the way to the present, where we find ourselves discussing "The Suicide Squad" (2021). Shake hands with your rat, grab your javelins and turn that book right-side-up! Here we go!

The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad - 1949

September 29, 2021 02:05 - 1 hour - 258 MB

Oh, we're merrily, merrily, merrily on our way to... tangents! While discussing "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad" (1949), we get lost amongst the thicket of side-convos a bit too much. What can I say? She baited me with The Flash.

Bambi - 1942

September 29, 2021 01:17 - 1 hour - 161 MB

This honestly might be the first time in Disney film history where, in order to better-understand the first film (Bambi, 1942), you have to watch the straight-to-video sequel. But, to save you all that trouble, Lindsay did just that for you! Isn't she the best?

Fantasia - 1940

September 29, 2021 01:04 - 1 hour - 161 MB

You're probably thinking to yourself "Omg, Fantasia (1940)! I loved Sorcerer Mickey - he's so cute." But, what if I told you your childhood brain forced you to forget he actually commits murder in this film? Yea. I know. We were shocked, too.

Pinocchio - 1940

September 28, 2021 22:16 - 1 hour - 238 MB

Clocking in at our longest episode to date, this go-around sees us tackle the terrifying realities inside Disney's beloved classic "Pinocchio" (1940). So, parents, this one's for you: Explain how the world works to your 12-hour olds. PLEASE!

It's the very first episode! And what film better to discuss than Walt Disney's first-ever feature length animated film: "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937). Poison your apples and shine your clogs 'cause here we go!
