Coming Of Age, Our 100th Episode! With 18 To Party Director Jeff Roda Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week, we “keep it a hundred” as we celebrate our 100th episode with a hostfull Skype call of Saturday Morning Cereal’s hosts and talk “coming of age movies”! 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and the 2000’s teen movies all have a unique spin on what’s it like to grow up. What do they get right? What do they get wrong? What makes a “coming of age” movie? What generation best owns our imaginations? What teen archetype are you? For most of us, John Hughes movies where the template for the genre but does the optimism of those baby boomer era teen flicks hold up to todays standards? Our hosts will talk about it all and to help us with the heavy lifting, we interview Jeff Roda the writer/d

The Retro Cool Nerd POWcast! aims to bring you a nostalgic look back at the movies, shows, and people from your childhood that made you who you are today. In Jimmy’s case that was the Batman 66 TV show that inspired a never ending celebration of all things retro, cool, and maybe a little nerdy.   Episode 3 of the POWcast! features world renowned Joan Collins/ Siren expert J.P. Pelzman. We discuss Joan, The Siren, and look at the original “Wail of the Siren” script versus what was shot. J.P. is not only a Siren expert, he is an expert’s expert. Once again I lift the cover on the Bat phone and ring J.P. to take advantage of this font of knowledge. We also have another installment of “Hollywood History” with the delightfully entertaining Donelle Dadigan, owner and curator of the Hollywood Museum. Joining me this time is special guest host Dan, the Grim Shea. Plug into your favorite listening device and join us on deep dive behind the scenes of season three’s “Wail of the Siren” with your host Jimmy “The Gent”

Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world, and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week we bring you a cure for the Halloween at home “boos” with a primetime Halloween special. That’s right Cerealites, it’s time for our “cerealized" version of a Halloween Special: The 6th Annual Franken Berry Season Show: Now with More Evil! This year it’s all frights and laugh-out-loud delights with a spooky look back at comedy horror greats and stalk that very fine line between a good laugh and a bad scare. To help us along in this perilous journey we reach deep into the crypt and unearth SDCC 2017 & 2018 roundtable discussions with the creative talent behind IFC’s Stan Against Evil; John C. McGinley (Scrubs, Platoon) and Dana Gould (The Simpsons, Mystery Men). Plus, for extra torture, we conjure up an all new episode of Saturd

Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week Grim Shea, Marke, and Jimmy the Gent sit down to discuss DC’s first dive into the interactive movie fray- Batman: Death In The Family The boys over at 3Palms Studios have gathered together once again to talk about the history of arguably the least popular Robin, Jason Todd. From his origins as the Dark Knight’s sidekick, to fans voting for his brutal death at the hands of the Joker, and the iconic Under The Red Hood, which leads us to our thoughts on Batman: Death In The Family. Just like in 1988 when you could call a 900 number to decide Robin's fate, now you can explore different fates for Jason. Decide if Jason dies, Robin cheats death, or Batman saves him, what happens to Jason is ultimately up to you. The Lads also share thier

This week the whole gang gets together to finally talk about Adult Swim's beloved epic adventure cartoon love letter, The Venture Bros! Join Grim, Marke, Jimmy the Gent, AND Johnny Heck all together again at last as they break down what The Venture Bros really represents to our generation and how it is living proof that growing up watching cartoons has unified us all. Oh, except that it just got cancelled. The only bright spot to come out of that tragedy is that it somehow magically reminded some of our less responsible interns that we've been sitting on an interview with creator and star Jackson Public from ComicCon 2018! LISTEN, as we break down all our favorites peices of this dense show, MARVEL as Johnny interviews Jackson Public (aka, l

Greetings Citizens and welcome to the 2nd episode of the RETRO COOL NERD POWCAST! A retro look at all things cool!   Hosted by Jimmy "The Gent", The POWcast! aims to bring you a nostalgic look back at the movies, shows, and people from your childhood that made you who you are today.

This episode of the POWcast features world renowned Batman/ Adam West impersonator Scott Sebring. Scott is not only a Batman expert, he is a Batman expert’s expert. If you would like to also be a Batman expert's expert, join us as we lift the cover on the Bat phone and ring Scott to pick his brain and get his first hand accounts of his Bat friends including series stars the late Adam West and Batgirl herself Yvonne Craig.  To bring it all home, we introduce the first installment of "Time Tunnel” featuring a conversation with returning guest Burt Ward to discuss the Holy Hollywood History Ba

Greetings Citizens and welcome to the pilot episode of the RETRO COOL NERD POWCAST! A retro look at all things cool!    Hosted by Jimmy "The Gent", The POWCAST! aims to bring you a nostalgic look back at the things and people from your childhood that made you who you are today. In Jimmy’s case that was the Batman 66 TV show that inspired a never ending celebration of all things retro, cool, and maybe a little nerdy.  80 years ago, almost to the date, Richard “Dick” Grayson would set the bar for hero side kicks as Robin The Boy Wonder. 26 years later Mr. Burt Ward would portray ½ of the Dynamic Duo on 1966’s BATMAN TV show influencing generations of children and adults alike. In our first POWCAST! we invite past and future listeners to join in our 80 year anniversary celebration of Robin the Boy Wonder, and who else would be more qualified to talk about the original sidekick other than our very special guest, pop culture’s first live action “Robin”, Mr. Burt Ward.   Listen in as Burt shares tales from his

Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week, we shamelessly and unapologetically turn to food for comfort. You can't blame us. So if you're also the type who needs the occasional total break from anything of consequence in the real world in order to cope with day to day life...then quite honestly you should've subscribed to this show long ago. Yet this week Dan "Grim" Shea, Marke, and Jimmy The Gent intentionally dumb it down to a totally unprecedented level in a bold experiment of mindless distraction -- with all the empty calories of a bowl of 80s breakfast cereal but half as substantial -- behold, the podcast equivalent of an Instagram food pic! Yes, Saturday Morning Cereal finally just talks about harmless, inoffensive, common-denominator-for-all-lifeforms FOOD, from cer

And why shouldn't you, what else are you doing these days anyway?

You might be sorry you asked...). Also, Grim, Marke, and Jimmy h

This week, the world ends so let’s talk about all the good things we can do when you are living in a bunker and all you’ve got is your favorite streaming service to save you from uncertain doom!  We start the episode off by talking about three cult classic movies to revisit or finally catch up on. Then things get dark... Has someone ever asked you if you’ve seen a famous movie and just to avoid an awkward conversation you lie and say yes? Why are we even asking, of course you have you lying weasel. Everyone has. But this lockdown finally gives you a chance to right the wrongs! Finally turn that shameful lie into a half truth and watch that movie that you reference all the time anyway, f*ckin poser. We also talk all things movies with writer/

From Fox to NBC but still making the case for sitcom greatness, Brooklyn 99 takes the adolescent ambitions of Generation X, watching cop movies, playing with action figures, idolizing badasses, etc so forth, and strikes comedy gold with its hijinks, heroics, tenderness, and inclu

This year it’s all frights and bite-sized delights with a spooky look back at the kooky horror of all those Gremlins movies that weren’t actually technically "Gremlins" movies, from Ghoulies to Munchies and on up to the very cream of the knockoff crop - Critters!  We even talk to star Dee Wallace (E.T., Cujo) about working on the original Critters back in 1986 and now returning to the franchise with the horrifying 2019 release of Critters
