Scooby Doo (2002)

Is there a more profound line in all of the English canon than "Dorky chicks like you turn me on too"? Jane Austen could never (or maybe she could). Join us as we discuss the 2002film Scooby Doo, written by James Gunn, based on the Scooby Doo franchise that began in 1969.

The Pride and Prejudice Card Game (Marrying Mr. Darcy)

Some may say this is a short episode, but it looks perfectly average to me. Join us for an episode of NewPodPlus. We are returning to the the world of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice; this time we're exploring a somewhat strange adaptation. It's a card game called Marrying Mr. Darcy. The game was designed by Erika Svanoe, and Erik Evensen was in charge of the art and graphic design of the game.

2001: A Space Odyssey

There are some bold questions in this episode, challenging ones. For example, does HAL watch everything in the ship? Also, there is a giant space baby. Join us as we explore Stanley Kubrick's 1968 masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey, that was developed in tandem with Arthur C. Clark's 1968 book of the same name.
