Making Mt. Rushmore #52 - Amusement Park Rides and Attractions & Rollercoasters & Theme Parks

In the fifty-second episode of Making Mt. Rushmore, host/moderator/panelist Steve Riddle welcomes Andy Atherton and Chad Campbell to discuss which Amusement Park Rides/Attractions deserve a place on their respective lists. Is Avatar: Flights of Passage a no-brainer? What about the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror? Does Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance grab a spot? Does the Haunted Mansion or Soarin' deserve a place?
After that, they discuss which Amusement Park Roller Coasters will be part of that grouping. Can you argue that the Velocicoaster shouldn’t get a spot? Will The Beast be included? Is the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster in the conversation? What about the Lightning Rod or Lightning Racers?
Then, they do an unprecendented third list and discuss which Amusement Parks make that list. Do you believe that Walt Disney World should be included? What about Universal Studios: Islands of Adventure? Can you argue that Dollywood deserves a spot? Are Disneyland and Hersheypark part of the conversation?

It Was a Thing on TV: Episode 480 - Two Guys, A Girl, and a Pizza Place, the two seasons with the titular pizza place

Under normal circumstances, a popular show which lasted 4 seasons would not be fodder for this podcast.  For our Marvel shows leading up to the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, we're making an exception.  Anyway, we think the show got worse once the pizza place part of the premise was abandoned.  Just to reiterate, this is only about the first 2 seasons with the pizza place.
