the golden compass

JT comes out Pumping Iron and we discuss new show JUSTIFIED: CITY PRIMEVAL. The horse a coaster gets a little emotional on this one. BG tells us how changing your hair changes your reality. We rant about the dumbest light fixture ever made! BG tells us the cutest story about super CUTE CHINCHILLAS. We bring up The Golden Compass and ask what if our souls were tied to animals?  In Nature Science Corner we ask, ARE RABBITS CONSIDERED RODENTS? Do you know what animal kills the most humans every year? The answer might surprise you. We discuss population control methods and how some podcasts are so specific these days. We ask WHAT CAME FIRST? PET OR PETTING? We hear a story of Sheep eating hundreds of pounds of weed and BG's horse's older sister gets into the “SPECIAL TOMATOES”. Have you heard of the new CANADIAN "CULT"?

We Can't Pick a Title Podcast! is a SlicedBread production.

In this next riveting episode of Nick Nack Goes To The Movies, we dig back in to the mixed bag to catch up on what your eventual Tik Tok influencer, future voice actor, and humble movie and TV show talker is watching these days.  Today I will be talking not only the most recent season, but the overall show content from Disenchantment, His Dark Materials, and The Outpost.  Be it Netflix, HBO Max, or The CW, these are three shows that all take place in high fantasy or semi-fantasy/dystopian worlds with strong female leads at the helm.  Swordplay, talking animals, and Lin Manuel-Miranda are all aplenty here in this latest pop culture party podcast, so take a listen and get caught up on some shows that you may have not heard of, and hopefully at least one of these might strike your fancy and get you something new and good to satiate your viewing palate.  What are you watching to get going into the early stages of 2021?  Let me know on social at either @NickNackMovies and @NickNack_IC on both Instagram and Twitter.  Have any ideas of what you want to hear me talk on?  Let me know and you could get a shoutout and an episode all for you!

Spoiler Warning!  Chris and Taylor review the HBO fantasy series "His Dark Materials," based off the novels by Phillip Pullman.  Covering both the first and second seasons, in a world filled with daemons, armored bears and witches a young girl named Lyra is destined to meet a young boy named Will to travel across multiple worlds to stop the evil Magisterium.  The cast includes Daphne Keen, Ruth Wilson, James McAvoy, Amir Wilson, Will Keen, Lin Manual-Miranda and Andrew Scott.

In this piece, I try to take apart what has gone wrong with Philip Pullman's latest novel, The Secret Commonwealth, and how it affects the greater trilogy, The Book Of Dust. I get into Lyra and Pan's relationship, the tone, pacing, and character arcs of the books, with minimal spoilers.
