Ronald's Revenge: The Ski Pad

Tumbling from the heights of Nakatomi Plaza, the gang land in an awfully familiar 1980s suburban house, in which sits a familiar little long-necked extra-terrestrial turd...
Will they manage to save cinema and please the embalmed-yet-still-living-head of Ronald Reagan?

On the run from the sudden appearance of a cyber yeti, the gang are forced to crawl through the vents of Nakatomi Plaza in their crisp white vests, all for the benefit of the Ronald Reagan head-in-a-jar's quest to save cinema.
But there is a small bit of treachery afoot, as they soon find out ...

This week, Mike, Jon and Jamie are joined by Emma as they come face to face with the embalmed head-in-a-jar of Ronald Reagan (who can somehow still manage to smoke cigars ...). Ronald has charged the gang with saving cinema by powering up a battered replica DeLorean from Back to the Future and locating the elusive 'Ski pads'.

In this pubisode we go down the rabbit hole with pitches for Disney films that could be remade into horror films. We also get into modern showings of older Disney movies showing content warnings due to dodgy stuff from way back when. And we address certain urban myths about old Walt himself.
 
Timestamps if you want to skip ahead:
00:45 - Who's drinking what?
08:26 - A debrief of last week's episode, Maus Trap
24:08 - Disney horror remakes
32:39 - Recommendations for cool stuff you should check out
 
Here are some things we recommend:
Ella Minnow Pea - Mark Dunn (book)
Barbarian (film)
Unruly: The Ridiculous History of England's Kings and Queens - David Mitchell (book)
SIX (musical)
Headlock escape rooms - Keeper and the Fungus Among Us (virtual escape room)
 
Enjoy!

Well well well. After 95 years, the OG Mickey Mouse is in the public domain. So of course we see just how close we can get to bringing the fury of the House of Mouse upon us as quickly as possible. What a way to start 2024.
Anna and Bailey were excellent solvers, and it was great to have them back on the pod after so many months.

Bam! We're in Brussels, we're tiny - and we're stuck in the MOOF (Museum of Original Figurines) where things are a bit...lively. Because of mushrooms. And recurring gastronomic celebrity villains.
If you want to play along at home, you might find this useful for the Gaul's puzzle:

In this very first pub-isode, Mike, Bailey and Dom join Jamie at The Bodybuilder's Arms for a debrief about the previous episode and have a little chat.
 
Mike's podcast recommendation on this episode is Crypto Island by PJ Vogt - give it a listen and chime in on our debate about whether cryptocurrency is a load of old cobblers.

It's 'new year, new me!' over at The Infinite Escape Room, as Mike, Bailey and Dom bring copious amounts of sweat to Jamie's gym puzzles.
