We share our experiences watching the likes of Roger Waters, K-Pax, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Land Before Time, Jack-O, Hobgoblins, Darkwing Duck, Scary Stories, and much much much more. So please enjoy the last of our quarantine casts, at the very least the last one of 2020. And remember, wear your mask, wash your hands, and stay safe this season!

TFR 115: Quarantine

Hello and welcome to part 1 of 3 of our Quarantine watches! Recorded in late April during the lockdown, this episode provides a time capsule of films and tv shows Albert, Austin, and returning guest Zephyr have been watching to pass the time and temporarily drown out the whirlwind of the current atmosphere. We talk greats like Space Force, Chopping Mall, Birds of Prey, a grab bag of things we had been wanting to watch but haven’t quite gotten around you. Have have you watched during the quarantine? Let us know in the comments, or on our twitter and facebook, which you can find links for below!

TFR 114: Change the Channel

Welcome back! This week we have frequent guest Zephyr back for a special update to our State of Criticism cast. For this discussion we focus on Not So Awesome, a document released by former members of Channel Awesome documenting what happened during their tenure at the site. We go over our thoughts on the document, as Zephyr, a long-time Wall fan, unloads on Nostalgia Critic’s latest parody video on The Wall. Tune in!

You can read the document here, and draw your own conclusions on what to make of this whole debacle.
