Hey there, listeners. SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
As promised last week, Reel-view #2 is here, and we're doing Blackfish! If the episode seems a little long, it's because unlike all our other episodes, we typically don't edit Reel-views, and we had a lot to say (and cite) regarding this film. Controversy has abounded regarding Blackfish, a 2013 documentary by one Gabriela Cowperthwaite which takes a look at an orca attack at SeaWorld Florida in 2010 that took the life of one Dawn Brancheau by first making its way through Tilikum the orca's history, a sweeping and overall look at the state of orcas in captivity. What did we think of it? Well, listen in, and know that unlike Ms. Cowperthwaite, we didn't rely on snappy editing and omission of facts to make our opinion known.

Rolly Crump and the Forbidden Blooper (2013 Blooper Reel)
Grittings and salad-tations! ...wait, no, that's not it.
Hyia! ...nope, that's not it either.
Why don't I just stick with Hello. There we go. SurferClock here, and while we're on a brief break, let me just say that the editing process removes many of the imperfections that a live show would not allow us to get out. Sometimes, the flubs are simple things like mis-speaking or misreading a line, but sometimes, they can be a little bit more.
I've been keeping a file full of them, or at least the best ones, and now, I'm releasing all of 2013's best ones in a compilation that today, I'm calling "Rolly Crump and the Forbidden Blooper." Rolly Crump was one of the Imagineers who worked on the Haunted Mansion attraction, and when I had a little trouble saying his name, it would start a legacy of legendary flubs. So enjoy this, our special treat to all you amazing fans...listen to us flub lines like crazy!

WTA RECUT: Episode 5 - Country Bear Jamboree
Howdy, folks! SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Here it is, folks! We're concluding the WTA Recut project TODAY! Here, in what I think is probably one of the best recuts we've done, is the Country Bear Jamboree episode! Of course, back when we first did it, the attraction was a bit longer. Now cut down to 10 minutes, it was only fair that we went back and reviewed it once more with the new show fresh in mind.
It's been parodied everywhere from Lester's Possum Park to the Goofy Gopher Review, from A Goofy Movie to Futurama, and now, it's here once again, related in a way only WTA can. An opening day attraction in Florida's Magic Kingdom, it continues to draw typically the most reminiscent of folks in. Is it worth another look, given its fresh coat of paint and truncated length? Journey with us and find out together!

Hello, listeners! SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, to bring you the latest episode of "What's the Attraction?"
I'm sure you folks are probably getting a little antsy over the lack of actual new episodes, but we're just one other episode away from our triumphant 2014 return! Today, we're exploring The Big Backyard as Teenie Weenies! And no, we're not Grounded...this is a fresh look at the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure at Disney's Hollywood Studios. At the time before its deletion, the two episode parts of the original cut had nearly 500 combined views! Suffice it to say we've topped it for sure in a straightforward review we hope you'll enjoy.

Salutations, listeners! SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, to bring you the next episode of the WTA Recut Project!

WTA RECUT: Episode 1 - The Big Three
Happy New Year, WTA fans! SurferClock here, along with TAP-G, to bring you the first episode of "What's the Attraction?"
Wait, first?! Did the show regenerate like a certain TV doctor? Nope, and if you've been paying attention to the Facebook page, you'll notice we hit 100 likes some time ago. We promised you all a re-cut of the show's first five episodes, all of which have no fewer than two parts each on YouTube, lack cover art, and are long and rambling in nature.
With the new year, we figured we'd ring it in by re-imagining the first five episodes with better stories, less length, and cover art we can actually upload to YouTube!
Episode 1 covers The Big Three, the theme parks in which the podcast spends the most time. SeaWorld, Universal, and Disney are summarized historically, and discussion between TAP-G and I establishes the parks' styles and why they have been a success and will continue to succeed in the years ahead.
Here now, with 25 minutes of length cut from the runtime (from 46 minutes to 21 minutes!), an updated history for SeaWorld, and intelligent discussion, is Episode 1, recut!
