You will never succeed in life unless you believe in the heart of the cards! Carl joins us to talk about everything from the card game to the most recent Yu-Gi-Oh game on the switch.
Special thanks to the heart of the cards.
In light of the current political climate we decided it would be best to educate ourselves and expand our perspectives. To do this we chose director John Singleton as our filmmaker this month, who gave us the intense and illuminating Boyz n the Hood. Everything about the film was astounding and took us out of our comfort zone. It was wild seeing the talent at play in front of the camera and behind it. If you haven’t seen this film yet, please do so before listening. Join us in widening our perspective.
The party deliberates on the best course of action in regard to the potential of another gaping maw hole opening up in the same place where it did the previous day. They pound the area, hammer it, and even try to put their ear to it to see if anything is amiss. All that and more on the 50th episode of our show!
This week on Corona Cartoons Bryan is joined by Alex Orona from Super GG Radio and friend Katherine Cliff to discuss the the Macaulay Culkin movie The Pagemaster. If you’ve ever seen those posters in the library with celebrities that say “READ,” this movie is essentially that. Come for the Macaulay Culkin trivia, stay for the fun animated film that has a love for film and that really wants kids to read.
Note: Bryan also gives some updates about the show at the top of the episode and what to expect before the upcoming Frisky Dingo season.
At After the Hype, we believe Black Lives Matter. To amplify melanated voices and to help educate those who strive for a more anti-racist world, we’ve compiled some of the media we’ve been consuming this week to better our own understandings.

Samantha Garrison belongs to a Saint Bernard named Laddi, so her life is an endless stream of drool. She believes in Ewoks, the true saviors of the galaxy far far away, Tilda Swinton, and a world without Jurassic Park sequels.
Fantasy helps us to make sense of a chaotic reality, and Sam shows us how Lord of the Rings can help us make sense of the protests and know how to be on the side of good.
