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 talk about the greatest movie poster artist of all time, The Man Behind The Poster himself Mr. Drew Struzan! His iconic work includes the marquee posters for Goonies, Back to the Future, E.T., and all the Star Wars Films - even the much-buzzed-about The Force Awakens poster just revealed at Disney Expo D23. Drew Struzan's works are the STANDARD in movie poster popular culture and we get in depth with our guest interview Drew: The Man Behind the Poster creator Erik P. Sharkey.

This is the full uncut interview we promised you between Grim Shea, Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals, and Nate Glass with Takedown Piracy that was featured on the Saturday Morning Cereal - The "Steal This Episode" Episode, dated 08/08/2015. Enjoy a behind-the-scenes listen to a long-form informative chat about the subject of internet piracy, which was simply too long for society to accept! Again, we want to thank Dr. Tibbals and Nate Glass for talking to us and helping the conversation to continue. Now go pay your Netflix bill.

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 cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world, and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. Join us this week for our "Steal This Episode" Episode Be Kind 1985 Movie Rewind show as we explore the moral fringes of fandom, or, in other words: To download or not to download, that is the question! In this changing world of digital distribution and cordcutting and rising utility costs, where exactly is the line between a reacting audience member and a jilted consumer? Grim talks to Dr. Chauntelle Tibbals (author of Exposure: A Sociologist Explores Sex, Society, and Adult Entertainment) and Nate Glass (founder of Takedown Piracy), plus the guys remember the blockbusters of 1985 (arguably the Greatest Summer in Cinema, a full THIRTY years ago now!) and how they affect what we're seeing in the theaters (and/or on our laptops) today. You can either l

Sure, you could spend your whole day making it into the one single Episode 7 panel in the infamous Hall H - and behold as Grim and Marke walk you through the mammoth task that it shall be! - but why not take an alternative approach and see what other treasures lie in wait in this year's Gaslamp Quarter? From the alt press booths like our old friends from Devastorpress.com Amanda Meadows, Geoffrey Golden, and Patrick Baker, author of Devastator's newest book A Presidential Dickerbook (we chat with them all about the book and the Con and playing with stickers), to the independent documentary premeires like Byrd McDonald's Vintage Tomorrows, an in

It's time for a crisp new episode of Saturday Morning Cereal! Take some time this weekend to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world, and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This weekend we celebrate our Independence Day with our new friends Eric Kohn (Deputy Editor & Chief Film Critic) & Ben Travers (TV Editor) of IndieWire.com to talk about that indie film spirit, the art of the summer blockbuster, and Grim Shea & Marke remember both those 4th of July big budget Will Smith, alien, superhero movies plus those smaller independent films that are, as they say, the life force of the modern movie industry.  From the arena-seated THX-enhanced gigaplex to that basement cellar college movie theater, movie fanatics have proven to love both the racket of the summer movie and the intimacy of the indie film. Because for every Six String Samurai, THX-1138, P

With summer upon us we figured why not revisit our Robot Chicken Holiday Special show from back in December and ask the important questions about Adult Swim's iconic show Robot Chicken - what does it mean to us grown up kids? Is the art of playing GI Joe for a living difficult? Is a Holiday special the same as a Christmas special? Grim Shea chats with co-creator Matthew Senreich and Emmy-winning director/writer Zeb Wellsabout all this and more, so hurry on over to this side of the road in order to join us!Hosted by Grim Shea and Mark E.

Today we’re (re)celebrating the 25th anniversary of the greatest American movie ever made, Goodfellas! No, of course no network would ever play Goodfellas on a Saturday morning, but that just isn’t enough to stop Grim and Mark from geeking out about it. We also chat with Goodfellas co-star Illeana Douglas about the anniversary and what it’s like to be a part of cinema history, plus her new role on NBC’s Welcome to Sweden along with the show’s star and creator, Greg Poehler.

Why do strangers tell each other to f*ck off and die underneath kitten videos on YouTube? Why does it seem sometimes like everyone else on the internet is a stupid racist pig who should just f*ck off and die?! To get to the bottom of this we bring in some experts, Jamie Kennedy (Heckler, Scream, Son of the Mask, Three Kings, Malibu's Most Wanted) himself, plus Bradley Weatherholt of Ministry of Cinema to tell us about his new IndieGoGo documentary project The Prequels Strike Back (a noble defense of the Star Wars prequel trilogy usin
