INTERVIEW: Patrick Horvath
Joining us for a bonus conversation is the creator behind the smash-hit IDW series Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees , which tells the story of an anthropomorphic brown bear named Samantha Strong. Sam has built a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, but she does have one small secret: she’s a serial killer. It is our pleasure to welcome Patrick Horvath onto The Oblivion Bar Podcast! This is small-town serial killer, an upstanding citizen, and adorable brown bear Samantha Strong’s cardinal rule. After all, there’s a sea of perfectly ripe potential victims in the big city just beyond the forest, and when you’ve worked as hard as Sam to build a cozy life and a thriving business in a community surrounded by friendly fellow animal folk, warm décor, and the aroma of cedar trees and freshly baked apple pie…the last thing you want is to disturb the peace. So you can imagine her indignation when one of Woodbrook’s own meets a grisly, mysterious demise—and you wouldn’t blame her for doing anything it takes to hunt down her rival before the town self-destructs and Sheriff Patterson starts (literally) barking up the wrong tree."

MIDNIGHT REWIND: Princess Mononoke (1997)
"He isn't dead, San. He is here with us now, telling us, it's time for both of us to live." This week on the show, we are premiering a brand new segment called MIDNIGHT REWIND, wherein we celebrate our favorite anime classics! While we will discuss elements we love and even some that we don’t, Midnight Rewind is not meant to be so much a review of these films, but instead a celebration of some of our favorite Eastern animations and the impact they’ve had on us throughout our lives. For this episode, we discuss one of the greatest Studio Ghibli films of all time: 1997's Princess Mononoke . We dive deep into the history of the film, Hayao Miyazaki himself, and the lasting impact Studio Ghibli has had on the world with its beautiful creations. "While protecting his village from rampaging boar-demon, a confident young warrior, Ashitaka, is stricken by a deadly curse. To save his life, he must journey to the forests of the West. Once there, he's embroiled in a fierce campaign that humans were waging on the forest. The ambitious Lady Eboshi and her loyal clan use their guns against the gods of the forest and a brave young woman, Princess Mononoke, who was raised by a wolf god. Ashitaka sees the good on both sides and tries to stem the flood of blood."

For our main topic, we are talking ALL things The Boys Season II! That being said, this episode may not be suitable for young children -- just like The Boys series itself (seriously, do not let your kids watch this show). If you can legally buy a lottery ticket or join the Army, you are good-to-go in listening to episode 18! * fist bump * Oblivion Bar Twitter: https://twitter.com/oblivionbarpod Oblivion Bar Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oblivionbarpod Oblivion Bar Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theoblivionbar Oblivion Bar Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/oblivionbarpod LINQ Page: https://linqapp.com/oblivionbarpod Send us a text Support the show

The Return
WE'RE BACK!!! Boy, are we happy to see you all (metaphorically of course. We aren't looking at you through your bedroom window... that'd just be weird. Why'd we even say that?) For episode 17, Chris and Aaron get back into the swing of things discussing all the biggest nerd-news they missed during their absence -- topics like Marvel casting both Iman Vellani as MS. MARVEL and Tatiana Maslany as SHE-HULK for the respective DISNEY+ series, the RESIDENT EVIL reboot being an origin story set in 1998, Regal Theaters closing all 536 U.S. theaters, THE BATMAN being pushed back to 2022, and the unfortunate passing of Chadwick Boseman. So grab yourself a warm milk (we know you like warm milk, we saw you drink it last night from outside your window), kick back, relax, and enjoy the show!

MOVIE REVIEW: Artemis Fowl
What's better than starting your morning off with a nice cup of Joe and a brand new episode of The Oblivion Bar Podcast? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, SAY IT AGAIN HUH! For episode zero zero niner, Chris and Aaron reflect on the passing of legendary comic book scribe Dennis O'Neil, TENET/Wonder Wonder 84' getting new release dates, and ALL the new information we have on the release of the Playstation 5 (it's a lot). The only thing more FOWL than ARTEMIS is his 2020 film adaptation AM I RIGHT? No but seriously, it's not very good -- but what IS good is listening to two nerds discuss what went wrong with the film at great length, then rating it out of five "David A. Weiners" at the end. Listen to the episode if you want to understand that weird inside joke.

Saturday Morning Action YEAH!
Well golly gee, how the heck are ya? Welcome back The Oblivion Bar podcast, where our hosts Chris Hacker and Aaron Knowles can't stop talking about Zack Snyder, can't stop laughing at the word "weiner", and can't stop loving nerdy news!

For episode 8, our main topic is discussing Saturday morning cartoons -- more specifically, the 90's boom of cartoon madness. Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, Fox Kids, everything from Captain Planet to Rocko's Modern Life. Getting up at 8AM on a Saturday was so much easier when you had your weekly block of cartoons to look forward to!

Battle Royale I
Oh wow, it's really great to see you again! Welcome back to our stupid show, where our hosts Chris and Aaron discuss the world's toughest debates -- such as whether or not Man of Steel is a good movie, should the SNYDER CUT of Justice League even exist, or if Matt Smith should be casted as Thrawn in the rumored Disney+ live-action series. You're intrigued, we can definitely tell. Also: LET'S GET READY TO discuss scenarios where some of our favorite fictional characters fight each other to the death with oddly specific stipulations to hopefully even the playing the field among all participates. Twelve random fighters enter, only six will exit our weirdly barren colosseum. Are you ready for our FIRST annual Battle Royale!?
