Cooler Than Homework #025 – Zenon: The Zequel & Other Sequels

Previously: A Christmas movie but it was about the weather, I guess?

Sweeney: WE MADE IT TO 2001, FRIENDS. Spoiler for the next run of episodes: I’m gonna be an enthusiastic yes on every nostalgia check. An additional spoiler: this movie did not disappoint.

Not only did the movie not disappoint, the conversation was also a ton of fun. We started off with some silly intros that led to Matt making us this delightful update to our podcast art:

And it just kept getting better from there. Rainbow glitter aliens! Catchy music! And a whole other kind of guess from Ceri that led us to ask important questions like “how would a dog ride a dirt bike?”

And of course, here is the current status of our all-important ranking spreadsheet:

Nicole is the co-captain of Snark Squad and these days she spends most of her time editing podcasts. She spends too much time on Twitter and very occasionally vlogs and blogs. In her day job she's a producer, editor, director, and sometimes host of educational YouTube channels. She loves travel, maps, panda gifs, and semicolons. Writing biographies stresses her out; she crowd sourced this one years ago and has been using a version of it ever since. She would like to thank Twitter for their help.
