Dragonfly Ripple, Episode 12: Police Squad and The Phantom

We're back! Our Valentine's Day present to you is this brand new episode in which Michael and Carlin talk about the challenges of scheduling nerd training as kids get older and busier. And with time being so limited, how do we curate what we show them to make sure that it's worth everyone's time?

When Annaliese and David join us, Michael talks to Annaliese about the humor of Police Squad, then Carlin asks David about the differences between the 1942 serial The Phantom and the 1996 feature film starring Billy Zane.

On Jetpack Tiger, Carlin and Dashiell chat about Adam West's Batman. And we close out the episode with everyone's creating their own nerdy Valentine's candy.

JetPack Tiger 8b: More Vintage Star Wars Action Figure Talk

Dragonfly Ripple, Episode 7 - Shyamalan and Sherlock

The Dragonfly Ripple gang gets spooky and zany to the max! Carlin and Michael discuss nerdy things the kids are discovering on their own, then Michael talks to Annaliese about her experience watching The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, and Signs. Careful! Spoilers! After a Jetpack Tiger episode on Animaniacs, Carlin asks David about the four versions of Hound of the Baskervilles that he watched. More spoilers! And finally, we close by picking movie monsters we'd like to have over for game night. No cheating, Dr. Griffin!

Dragonfly Ripply Episode 5 - Back to the Future / Terminator

In the new episode of Dragonfly Ripple, we come to you from the past to talk about time travel movies. First, inspired by the very different tones of Back to the Future and The Terminator, Carlin and Michael discuss some philosophies behind filtering content for kids. Then, Carlin and Annaliese celebrate the 30th anniversary of Back to the Future by discussing that movie. After a Jetpack Tiger about the How to Train Your Dragon Series, Michael and David talk about the first two Terminator movies and how time travel for Arnold Schwarzenegger may be different from the way Michael J Fox experiences it. We wrap up around the virtual dinner table by creating our own super teams of pop culture icons.

Episode 4 of Dragonfly Ripple is coming soon, but in the meantime, here's a bonus "JetPack Tiger" segment where Dashiell talks all about his world. Michael, David, Annaliese and Carlin will be back soon to talk a whole lot about Star Wars.
