  Link to the episode https://missionrejected.simplecast.com/episodes/302-on-mister-muldrakes-obvious-service 1. Chet and Athena's tension and chemistry is entertaining.

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. However, it was actually The Admiral H.R.R. Fletcher, leader of the Oceanologists cult (a parody of the Scientologists and any other ridiculous but frightening cults in real life), saving their lives and others in the volcano. The Admiral makes use of the airwaves, used previously for Athena O'Brien's televised wedding, to make his announcement to the whole world "that the time he has spoken of has come, that the age of land has passed, to become one with the ocean." After credits of the episode cuts and fades to news outlets across the world announcing about the Oceanologists gathering and chanting "bec...

Fun Facts about Treasure Planet, Disney's Best Animated Deep Cut

  Treasure Planet is my all-time favorite Disney deep cut. Adapted from the classic Robert Louis Stevenson's classic, it is one of those underrated Disney gems that hold some interesting facts. The movie has the record for the most expensive traditional animated film because of its extensive use of Disney's Deep Canva technique. According to Retrojunk.com is the technique that "allows a two-dimensional character to move freely through a painterly 3-dimensional computer-generated environment." The animated film was such a passion project for Ron Clements and John Musker, two of Disney's most successful Disney directors and legends. For Treasure Planet, they waited years to make it. 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...

Disney To Release Raya and The Last Dragon: A Fantasy Animated Movie with Major South East Asian Representation amid Pandemic and Sociopolitical Turmoil Throughout the Region.

  It's safe to say that only a few countries are more than okay amid the pandemic (we are looking at you New Zealand) but as the US, and some Eastern European and South American countries, South East Asian countries have revealed deep-seated problems with their governments.     The world is exposed to the mass protests in Thailand and recently in Myanmar. And it is common knowledge that ASEAN doesn't have the most high-rated democratic reputation across the globe. There is also isn't much unity sociopolitical and authoritarian governments are heavily influenced by China (e.g. Philippines, the military coup in Myanmar). All of the SEA countries are deeply threatened by China because of their territorial stealing.    The SEA countries consist of Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Myanmar, and Timor Leste. The animators of Disney visited some of these countries for their research in making their ...

Shetland Sheepdog: A Farmer’s Companion and Yours

                  If you ever visited a farm, you might find an adorable Shetland Sheepdog or two. Don’t underestimate them because of their size. The dog’s innate skill is to guard a farmer’s garden from other animals and herd livestock, making this multi-tasking canine a good companion for farmers.   Intelligent to a fault, active, and eager to please, Shelties take well to training. Even though they’re quite friendly with just about everybody, they are also very vigilant of their families. They’re sensitive and shouldn’t spend too many hours alone at home. Always keep a Sheltie mentally and physically stimulated with tasks, training, and exercise to make them a healthy and happy companion. Training them also prevents them from becoming troublesome dogs, so they are only for attentive dog lovers.   Nowadays, there are a lot of Shetland Sheepdog Mix Breeds as much as there are Shetland She...

Chapter One: Identifying a Sheltie

               The Shetland Sheepdog has many similarities with the Rough Collie because they have the same ancestors, the Working Collies of Scotland, such as the Border Collie, and a variety of miniature long-haired Scottish dog breeds.      Although the parallels between the Shetland Sheepdog and the Rough Collie is marked, there are still some differences. The Shetland Sheepdog is a small, active, rough-coated, long-haired working dog. It must be sound, athletic, and muscular. The outline should be so balanced that no part appears out of proportion to the whole. Studs should appear masculine; bitches feminine.     General Appearance     Size, Proportion, Substance     The Shetland Sheepdog stands between 13 and 16 inches at the shoulder. Its body should appear fairly long as measured from shoulder joint to ischium.   Coat                  A Shetland Sheepdog has a hairy doubl...
