Podcast Post 1: Thoughts I Had While Listening to Mission Rejected S03E01 Blue Storm Rising

In Season 2, Episode 12: A Vow To A Kill, the main characters are waiting for their deaths in every villain's most stereotypical place to set up their lair, in a mouth of a volcano. The floor slowly opens to magma, but it eventually and surprisingly closes. The heroes' lives are spared. They thought one of their hackers, Mackenzie McGrath, shut the floor.

They pitched the movie before making The Little Mermaid, Hercules, and Aladdin. When their then-boss still did not give them the green light to make the movie as promised, they angrily went to the higher-ups, and that's when they got their wish. Another fun fact is that they based Ji...
