Help us celebrate our podcast's one year anniversary with returning special guests TC Laff and Doctor What for an episode full of friendship, laughter, and some colourful horses.
"My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic" has sparked this phenomenon of the "Brony" sub-culture. Where did this come from? Who is involved? What is Average Joe's history with this series?
Then the team travel to the land of Equestria itself to discuss the new film based on the franchise. Can audiences with no history with the animated series enjoy this film? Do we need celebrities attached to these projects in order for them to succeed? Does the music hold up? Which of the main characters best personifies TC Laff's personality?
Answers to all these questions and more inside this week's episode; plus a surprise ending you won't see coming...
