Welcome to this weeks Monday episode everyone.

To get the ball rolling Justin puts Hayden on the spot and asks the question of 'if you could pick a super power what would it be?'.
 
With the writing still on pause it allowed for some extended viewing this week.

WHATCHA BEEN WATCHING: 'Boy Meets World' continues to impresses Hayden, even though he keeps missing episodes! 'Empire' and 'Family Business' each have that cliff hanger final season episode (gotta love how tv does that). 'Dad, stop embarrassing me' has Jamie Foxx flexing his comedic chops and we all benefit from it.
'On The Town' (1949) with Gene Kelly & Frank Sinatra, is the one film Hayden gets to and he tries to convince Justin that some musicals are really good. 
 
Justin digs into 'Hip Hop Evolution' & 'The Defiant Ones', which lends itself to the formation of a new script idea. While 'Alita: Battle Angel' gets Justin thinking about the human elements of being a cyborg and finding your identity.

FALCON AND THE WINTER SOLIDER: TRUTH.
Does it hurt? Some of the hits in this episode do. Here we tackle the penultimate episode and break down everything that we know so far, and uncover some things that we each missed!
 
RACHAELS REVIEW: After giving her response to Justin's trivia question, Rachael gives us her weekly rundown, followed by her review of the newly release 'Mortal Kombat' film.

We'll be honest: we 100% expected the United States to be in complete flames post-Inauguration (reality: it was super boring), so in anticipation of massive bloodshed, Aya and Kevin decided to spend their final moments alive pounding beers and watching ALITA: BATTLE ANGEL. And why not dude, it's a Power Hour, too, sure, welcome to the BATTLE ANGEL POWER HOUR.

Aya and Kevin get plowed to smithereens by the secretly perfect 2019 cult classic, exploring the coziness & perversions of anime, Rosa Salazar's incredible earnestness, and the surprising similarities to Bong Joon-ho's PARASITE.

ALITA HIVE RISE UP !!!

Continuing our discussion of the various worldview change techniques used in the context of science fiction and fantasy stories, we explore how normalization (sometimes using repetition), behavioural and attitudinal pre-programming, and disarmament through comic relief can be used to modify the audiences' worldviews. We provide examples from popular films and shows, including Captain America, Thor, Voltron, the Avengers Assemble, Clone Wars, Luke Cage, Alita: Battle Angel, Ghost in the Shell and the Green Lantern. We also discuss the works of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Finally, near the end of the show we are joined by a special guest who helps us thoroughly deconstruct the movie Ant-man and the Wasp.

BIG NEWS ALERT!!! Before we get into the standard episode fare, we have an important announcement to make. The Spinchoon is launching another podcast: The Spinchoon Sports Show.
