451: Butch Patrick is Skywalking Through Neverland!

This is a discussion with Eddie Munster himself - Butch Patrick! Richard grew up watching Butch Patrick in just about everything from Shazam (1974) , Lidsville (1971-72) , The Phantom Tollbooth (1970) , The Munsters (1964-66), and The Monkees 1967 Christmas episode. In that episode Butch plays Melvin Vandersnoot, a child of 10 going on 65 with no Christmas spirit. Of course, The Monkees change that by the end, and it’s a heartwarming tale that Richard and Sarah watch every year on Christmas day. Butch Patrick shares behind-the-scenes stories of working as a child actor in all of these nostalgic series and films. We recommend watching the YouTube version of this show because Richard spent a long time editing in clips of the various stories he shares:  https://youtu.be/GVqsOVH2m0E   Subscribe to our YouTube Channel for more videos and fun Shorts     Check out these SKYwalking NETwork Podcasts:   Classic Marvel Star Wars Comics - Delving into each issue of the Sta

450: Disneyland vs. Universal Studios Hollywood!

If you love theme parks, then you are going to love this episode! Courtney & Kelly Turckel (Neverland Clubhouse) join us to compare and contrast Disneyland Resort to Universal Studios Hollywood - ranking them in terms of price, experience, attractions, food, theming and more.    Richard and Sarah conceived of this episode back in December, when our top-level Disneyland Magic Keys blocked us out of that theme park over the Christmas holiday. So we did some research and bought the top-level Platinum Annual Passes to Universal Studios Hollywood and had an amazing time! Universal has really stepped it up with the addition of Wizarding World and Super Nintendo World, so we thought this was a great time to compare the two theme parks. Courtney & Kelly have had annual passes to both Universal and Disneyland for over 5 years now, so they are experts.    We share our opinions here, but we would love to hear yours!
