Episode 117 - Thor Ragnaschlock... errr, Ragnarok

We're back!!! Well, I should say that I'm back, after taking the last couple weeks off to let Justin celebrate horror season with Fear and to work some much-needed overtime while he and LoySauce looked back on Halloween. It's a brand new week and we both got to cinemas to check out a brand new film with Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok! Is this the Marvel film that Epic Film Guy Nick finally enjoys? Stay tuned for our review!

Also this week, the soundboard is sadly absent from recording due to some mega audio issues I've been having. We'll talk about the brief talks that FOX and Disney had about the latter purchasing the former's film assets, but those talks were shorter lived than this episode of the podcast! We've also got a TON of announcements this week, news on upcoming Spotlights and Never Seen It November and MORE! This episode is literally jam-packed with content. Please enjoy, thank you for listening, and we'll see you at the movies!

Friends of the Show

We'd like to give a huge shout-out for a lot of the shows we're proud to call friends, and that we're proud to call ourselves fans of. We especially have to thank our brothers in Perth, Paul & Wayne of The Countdown Movie & TV reviews, who have opened us up to a huge audience halfway across the world. Particular thanks to Paul who has been an amazing friend and has been infinitely helpful in terms of getting honest feedback on the evolution of the show. A huge thank you to Emily from The Story Behind podcast, whose support and friendship have kept this show alive through some of its darkest days. A huge thank you to some of our biggest podcasting friends, from Mr. X at the Angry Old Man, Shane from Now That I'm Older, David from The Unwritable Rant, Adam from Everyone Has a Podcast, Ro from the World of Ro, the entire crew at Afterburn 739, Mat at the One Word, Go! show, Justin from So I Married a Movie Geek, and Deana from the Twisted Philly podcast. We're probably forgetting someone, so thank you to ALL of you! We truly do love and appreciate your support.

We also have to give a huge shout out to #PodernFamily for helping to increase our exposure, and safe to say without it we wouldn't have met a lot of the podcasters and fans we're proud to call friends. We also want to give a huge shout out to the #MoviePodSquad, a group of movie podcasters in the #PodernFamily who have come together for our mutual love of film.
