The Homeschoolers' View: Marvel's Ant Man Hype - Podcast

Hello, this is HHC_Snowman and Airdog giving you our fourth podcast of The Homeschoolers' View with our thoughts on the upcoming film Ant-Man produced by Marvel Studios based on the comic book superhero character of the same name.

We tried to keep this one shorter, as requested by the fans. So this one is only 5 MINUTES LONG. But if even THAT is too much for you, skip to these times in the video to go to the topic you want to hear about. No spoilers since the movie has not come out yet at the time that this blog was posted.

The Choice is Up to You... the People

We have two new polls:

What new project/video should we finish first?

We're almost finished with several projects, but we have limited time and energy these days. What do you want to see us finish first?

What Should Our Blog's Theme be?
The Titan walking mechanized tanks are cool, but we think we need to change things up a little. What theme should our Blog embody next?

And don't forget to comment below on any suggestions you might have. Since there's probably only two of you who would comment, you can be sure your idea will be heard.

Also, here's a video we made a LONG time ago that we finally feel like sharing with you.

Feel special.

Mr. Whittaker Helped Kids Cheat!!!

I was busy studying for my last final while listening to adventures in odyssey (it's a homeschooler thing to listen to AIO while doing schoolwork), and I noticed something very shocking.

I was listening to the episode "the Amazing Loser", and I realized that at the end of the scavenger hunt, both lead teams get the answer wrong. Then Mr. Whittaker and Eugene give both teams vital hints that allows one team of kids to guess the correct answer and win free tickets to "Water-World".

Even though the winning team (Barret and Priscilla) won because they were smarter than the other lead team (Jay and Matthew), that doesn't mean that the four or more other teams of kids that were still behind them wouldn't have figured out the riddle without Mr. Whittaker's hints. If Whit hadn't said anything, the other teams might have caught up and answered the question and beat Barret and Priscilla.

Whit helped the kids cheat! What is up with that? Did you notice the same thing? Did I explain it clearly? Comment below and let me know if you think this incarnation of Whit is weird, an amnesiac, and generally a bad influence on kids. Heh heh heh.

I hate the New 52 Odyssey Reboot. (sigh). Bring back Mandy Straussburg.

The Homeschoolers' View: Narnia Film Trilogy Review - Podcast

Hello, this is HHC_Snowman and Airdog giving you our third podcast of The Homeschoolers' View with our thoughts and review on the Narnia Film Trilogy produced by Walden Media and based on the much loved children's fantasy-adventure books - The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis.

Or if you don't have time for that, here's the conclusion:

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 Stars - Faith-Filled, Deep, Awesome Action Scenes, but you should watch it with your parents if you're under 14 to 15 years old.

Prince Caspian
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars - The Same Can Be Said For This Film, but it loses half a star because of the ridiculousness of the romance in the film.

Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Rating: 5 out of 5 Stars - Awesome Like The First Film, but it gains half a star because of the amazing message it offers its viewers.

Disclaimer: You may disagree with us on the exact rating that each film deserves, but I think we can all agree that all three films are awesome. This is merely our opinion. Thank you.
