Season Finale! In an emotional broadcast, Julien Owens of Matinee Talk and the King Julien podcast, Paige Bockhorn and Drake The Cat, join Steven Presley to pay tribute to the fandom life of one of its best Johnny Lightfoot.

Love her or hate her for her work as the leader of Star Wars Lucasfilm, she has been highly respected for decades by insiders in the movie industry with her work alongside Stephen Spielberg and George Lucas. But who knew that her hard work on film sets like Jurassic Park was on a level of such heights that she risked her life to save the lives of the cast and crew? This story is on Netflix's The Movie That Made Us Season 2. We discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly regarding the industry's most polarizing figure. Also, we break down the now-legendary Marvel's What If...? episode that brought the world Zombie Avengers in the flesh. And also a look at the possibility of a live-action version that looks to be in the works! Special thanks to our panel and co-host Chris Cassidy of Geek New Now

TP Extra: Lindley Key Interview(Little Lottie Cosplay)

This upload is a special moment in our show's history. It was thought to be a lost episode due to a snafu; we believed this interview with Prelude To Axanar director Christian Gossett to be gone forever. However, it resurfaced miraculously just a few days after the late great Johnny Lightfoot passed away. We would like to believe his force ghost-willed it back onto Steven Presley's hard drive?! Either way, it's was one of our favourite episodes. Christian Gossett directed the most successful Star Trek fan film in the history of the fandom. Unfortunately, It later led to an ugly lawsuit with Paramount that would forever change how fan films were produced. And unfortunately, due to a falling out, Christian Gossett later broke off from his partnership with co-creator Alec Peters, and that's been highly publicized. All of this and more is covered in this extensive interview.

TP Extra: Loki Season 1 Ep 5 Reacts

With its second and third episodes, Loki’s meta-narrative became more defined, as did its namesake character’s goal. Hiddleston’s Loki wants to change his story, and to do that, he needs to either trick or forces the Time-Keepers into allowing that to happen. So we see him start to wheedle Owen Wilson’s Agent Mobius about getting face time with the bosses, and we see Mobius blow him off. This show continues to build and we are thrilled to dive in for a Thunder Pop react. Also, we discuss the passing of a longtime key contributor to the Thunder Pop platform and dear friend Johnny "The Boywonder" Lightfoot. We are devastated by this loss.

If 2020 proved anything, it’s just how much people value their streaming services when most other versions of entertainment—theatres, concerts, comedy clubs—are shuttered. With people stuck at home, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Hulu and Apple TV+ got millions of new subscribers. In the worst of times, it was the best of times—for streaming platforms. Now, as all those apps look to the new summer, they have to figure out how to keep all those new watchers around. Follow Us Here? https://linktr.ee/ThunderPop
