On the twenty-ninth installment of the Pop Goes The Classics series looking at the Disney animated features, Mirandia Berthold, Andy Atherton & Steve Riddle look at 1995’s Pocahontas. They discuss the many aspects of the film including: the challenge the film had following the massive success of The Lion King; the effective setting the stage of the explorer’s dangerous voyage to the America as well as the conveyance of the native American way of life; the Romeo & Juliet aspects of the story with John Smith & Pocahontas; the fun sidekicks Meeko, Flit & Percy; the musical score and how the songs “Just Around The Riverbend” & “Colors of the Wind” move the story forward; Grandmother Willow’s sage advice; the delusions, ignorance and ruthlessness of Governor Ratcliffe; how the movie doesn’t shy away from violence; how historically accurate it is and whether or not the ending is a satisfying one.

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we celebrate our 299th and 300th editions by revisiting two of our earliest topics!
First, in our second 'revisited' episode, we go back to the first half of episode 3 and take a second look at the short-lived NBC perennial bomb Manimal. We get deeper into the show, the guests, and we have Chico present this time around.
Then, we have reached another milestone, this time looking back at the show covered in the second half of episode 3. Unlike the first time, Chico is with us this time and thankfully can make the trip with us to Zippers?!?! Also, Greg has a major announcement which is truly a game changer. What is the major announcement? You have to listen to Episode 300 and find out!

Bianca and Mirandia are at it again, with episode number 3. Back to discuss something they both love so much, reading and all the things that go with it. This month they decide to keep with the format of each of them reading long separate books to review and then go over and explain it to the other one. However, they are sticking to the same genre. So, this one is for all you YA lovers out there.
Bianca gives us a little insight and opinions on "A Darker Shade of Magic" by V.E. Schwab. Mirandia then brings in the old with the new when talking about "Mythos: The Greek Mythos Retold" by Stephen Fry.
After that, it's another fantastical round of “adaptation minute” where they tell you shows or movies they have recently watched or even highly anticipated ones that are an adaptation of a book.
Of course, as promised, here is a full list of books mentioned, discussed, or reviewed on this episode, in order of mention:
The Guest List by Lucy Fowley
Southern Book Club Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendricks
The Dead Romantics by Ashley Postin
The Ex Hex by Erin Sterling
Our Lady of Mysterious Ailments and The Library of the Dead by T. L. Huchu
The Daughter of Doctor Moreau by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Vampire Knitting Club by Nancy Warren
Dewberry Farm Mysteries by Karen MacInerney
Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osmann
Percy Jackson Series by Rick Rioridan
Song of Achilles and Circe by Madeline Miller
Neverwhere and Sandman by Neil Gaiman
Riverdale comic series
Lord of the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien
