The MOST Ridiclous Kids Corner Episodes

Image
     Kids Corner has so many ridiculous episodes: bad hacking scenes, weird theology, bizarre premises. These are the most ridiculous episodes from each season. Season 1: Lost and Found Pt. 1 and 2. Why does this episode exist? It’s a take on Jesus’ prodigal son story, but it is stupid. The premise is that Liz, Linda, and Granny Gecko are baking cookies to help some charity event. However, the agreement is that Liz gets to keep the cookies he made to do whatever with them, if he wants to. Liz gets fed up with the work and takes his batch and leaves. ALL FINE ACCORDING TO THE AGREEMENT. His sister Linda is upset about this, but the B-plot is that Granny Gecko lost chickies and a ring. Meanwhile, Liz takes his cookies to the park and makes some ‘friends’ until the cookies are gone. He then comes back beaten and muddy, and Granny forgives him. Linda is upset and…you see where this is going. Granny is the father, Liz is the prodigal son, and Linda is the older brother. Howeve...

That Girl Lay Lay Review: Democracy Dies in Dancing

Image
          “I’m Sadie’s Affirmation App!!!” That’s the catchy intro to the theme song of Nickelodeon’s two-season show That Girl Lay Lay , now streaming on Netflix. The plot follows two high school girls, Sadie and Lay Lay, as they navigate teenage life, family, and school. Here’s the twist: Lay Lay is an avatar from Sadie’s affirmation app who magically comes to life one day in Sadie’s room. Over time, Lay Lay discovers special powers loosely tied to phone app features—like “pause” mode, speed-up mode (think 2x playback), and even teleportation.      That Girl Lay Lay is a typical modern teen sitcom, but it carves out an interesting niche. It’s not as music-heavy as Erin & Aaron or as sitcom-classic as Zoey 101 . Lay Lay is a bold, blinged-out, musically gifted teen—far more outgoing than the shy, brainy Sadie. Sadie originally used the app (a ChatGPT-like voice tool) to boost her confidence and become more engaging. She’s got a quirky ...

Why the Midwest is the Secret Star of Christian Audio Dramas

Image
 Hi guys, the site is not dead haha, I am just really focusing on the SSALTW.blogspot.com series, which should be done by the end of May. Then you will get my undivided attention. Today's article and video will explain why the Midwest is the spot for all the audio dramas. Enjoy!!             If you’ve ever listened to a Christian audio drama—think Adventures in Odyssey or Down Gilead Lane—you’ve probably noticed something weird: they’re almost always set in the Midwest. Yeah, that big, flat chunk of the U.S. full of cornfields, Chicago, and weather that can’t make up its mind. But why? Why not the deserts of Arizona or the beaches of California? Well, buckle up, because I’ve got some though to explain why the Midwest is the unsung hero of audio storytelling. First off, let’s talk weather. The Midwest has it all: scorching heatwaves for that one Odyssey episode where everyone’s sweating through their moral dilemmas, and snow days—like that classic ...

Kayla is not that great.

Image
         In the Kids Corner episode, Kayla sings on stage in church while Liz looks on. Liz, in all his "Lizziness," gets super excited and even wants her to have a show on the Christian Cable Network. Just one problem: she’s trash.        Kayla's singing is literally in one key. Her piano song is simple and genuinely not even as good as the God Is In Control song Liz recorded for his radio station, WLZR. Which begs the question: why is Liz so obsessed with becoming her manager? She’s not that good as a Christian singer, and from the few samples we heard, she’s a much better rock singer (the music is better and has more than one beat—at least we don’t actually hear her sing). And Kayla is right; she shouldn’t have to sing gospel songs if she doesn’t want to, especially ones that have no beat and wouldn’t even make it on K-Love or KSBJ!        While Kayla can be criticized for idolizing pop star Kaylala, Liz also shares the...

Former Student Body President Emily Marrieme Jones Impeached Amid Assault Allegations

Image
  Odyssey Owl:Odyssey – In a dramatic turn of events, Emily Marrieme Jones, the, now, former student body president of Odyssey Middle School, has been impeached following serious assault allegations that surfaced in the Connisville Middle School newspaper. The accusations have caused a stir in the school and raised questions about how the situation has been handled.        The allegations, which were made public in the school newspaper, suggest that Odyssey’s administration may have been attempting to cover up the accusations in order to protect Emily’s father, who is currently running for re-election in the Odyssey District 17A. This has sparked claims that the school was trying to prevent a scandal from affecting his political campaign.       Ms. Jones, known for her leadership and who recently secured a stunning electoral victory, has denied all allegations. In a statement to The Owl, the student newspaper, she said, “The accusations are comple...

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Image
  Hey guys it’s TheOdysseyBoi with a special article. WE ARE SHUTTING….Just KIDDING. WE are EXPANDING!! TOB will now cover other media, with a focus on Christian Audio drama, but we will also cover, G, PG, and maybe PG-13 content (and their TV equivalents) on this blog as well. With that in mind let's get to the news story of the day. Adventures in Odyssey has announced that Album 78 will come out Dec 12 th , on the club. Like most albums from now on it contains 6 episodes. Interestingly, I checked the listing and it only had 5 episodes listed on AIO wiki. One of the interesting episodes, to me at least, is the episode about Emily having assault charges brought against her. Will Morrie and Suzu have to bail her out? (probably) Also, episode 999 was released today, on the club. Jesus Loves You Sin doesn’t go away on it’s own. Somebody has to pay for it. Who could it be? God knew there was only one choice: His own Son Jesus. Jesus came to earth and did something we could never do:...

Sue Sue Sue: A Legal Nightmare

       What is wrong with the Pond’s laws!! Last Year I referenced this in an article . Upon listening to the Sue Sue Sue episode I am convinced that the 1 st and 8 th amendment are being violated. As you know the 1 st amendment protects free speech and religious liberty. However, Mr. Johnny the lawyer gets dissent from Methuselah the Alligator, he said that he cannot state his facts anymore which forces him to go home and pray. This is a clear violation of the alligator's 1 st amendment rights. (Yes this will be a quote.) However, Methuselah investigates him and finds that Johnny has a restraining order of 50 MILES from civilization. When the police arrive to enact this draconian overreach of government power, the police place him in a rocket (that is placed near the other animals and is apparently small enough to fit in a police car), and launch him into SPACE!!! Now, Johnny is an animal so it is possible that the rocket is homemade, but this is essentially a...
