Nutty Bites 134: Intimate Friendships

Nutty Bites 134: Intimate FriendshipsIntimate Friendships are often overlooked in both society and fiction. Nutty, Tek, Jason, and Melissa got together to discuss some of their favorite examples.

These friendships are essential and necessary and can sometimes be more important than romantic pairings. Close friendships of this level can be the cure for loneliness. I remember a speech given by Mister Rogers about how intimacy and learning to express one’s feelings, to feel your feelings, is important for all of our mental health. Too many good fiction can be ruined by skipping intimacy and diving straight into romance or sex.

A few disclaimers, the day after we recorded this, one of the writers behind Bert and Ernie came out as saying that he modeled their friendship off of his with his husband. A few days after that Sesame Street again made a statement saying the characters aren’t a couple but just kids and best friends. I don’t think that this statement derails from our discussion in this episode, more proves the intimacy between the two characters.

Disclaimer two, we recorded this two weeks ago but life has been so crazy I just couldn’t do the simplest editing a processing to get it posted. I’m sorry, but this still counts as a September episode and there will still be two episodes for October. It is sad it took me so long to get to it because it needed almost no editing, just needed the bumpers and promos added.

Nutty Bites 123: Intro to Ghibli – Ponyo

Nutty Bites 123: Intro to Ghibli - PonyoPonyo is a bit out of the viewing order for us because it happened to be playing in theatres. If a film is in theatres and we can see it we will always jump the que. Better yet, this tim Tek and I were in VA visiting Jen and Jason, so we all got to go to the threatre together. This is the first time we had that chance. We have watched Princess Mononoke together, but that was in a hotel while Tek and I felt their eyes on us watching our reactions. A theatre is much better.

This also happens to be the 10th anniversary for Ponyo’s release. So that is extra special. Spoiler for the podcast, we loved this movie. It was pure joy. If you haven’t seen it, see it. It is worth the watch, You can watch it with anyone in your life, no matter the age.

Nutty Bites: Geek Toys

Nutty Bites: Geek Toys

Geek Toys are near and dear to many hearts. Nuchtchas, Tek, Podcasting’s Rich Sigfrit, and Jason Banks, discuss the ever changing world of toys. The closure of the biggest toy store in north america, ToysRUs, isn’t that much of a shock to geeks. They ignored the culture that could have helped, and ignored how other companies like ThinkGeek, GameStop, Hot Topic, and others have adapted to deal with the reality of online sales and getting geeks the thing that makes them squee.

Nutty Bites 117: Intro to Ghibli – Howl’s Moving Castle

Nutty Bites 117: Intro to Ghibli - Howl's Moving CastleHowl’s Moving Castle is like if Terry Gilliam directed a Ghibli movie and it starred David Bowie. We loved this film in all of it’s surreal nature and appreciated its art movieness. This for Tek and Nutty succeeded where Princess Mononoke failed.
