REVIEW — “The Team” (ft. Ryan Matlock)

lee@aioaudionews.com (Michael LaFaver) — Mon, 27 Dec 2021 21:18:21 GMT

“There are no bad episodes of Odyssey.” The singular exception to that rule is up for debate as Ryan and I delve into “The Team.” Split between dozens of plot inconsistencies and Ryan’s holding out hope on the word “commit,” we attempt to justify our criticism of one of the most controversial episodes in the history of the show.

REVIEW — “Solitary Refinement” (ft. Ryan Matlock)

Why is Eugene waging a battle with geese? Find out on the latest edition of AIO Revinews, as Ryan and I discuss the impeccable “Solitary Refinement.” In this very focused podcast, we talk about Bernard’s criticism of Eugene, the connection of Whit’s storyline with Eugene’s, monk stereotyping done well, and Katrina’s maturity filtered through Eugene’s subconsciousness. And a few games of goose solitaire here and there.

lee@aioaudionews.com (Michael LaFaver) — Tue, 21 Sep 2021 08:20:00 GMT

How could the return of John Whittaker become even more impactful than it has been so far? The answer is “Clara.” On this review on AIO Audio News of the next post-Blackgaard episode, Ryan and I delve into this masterpiece of a story, and along with a lengthy discussion on modern-day AIO character development, we break down one of Phil Lollar’s best emotional scripts and one of Paul Herlinger’s best performances. And while it still takes 100 minutes to slog through, the third installment in the return of the Revi-niews should be worth the wait.

REVIEW — “Home, Sweet Home” (ft. Ryan Matlock)

Whit returns to Odyssey and Ryan and I are here to talk about everything that is remotely connected to the episode “Home, Sweet Home” in this review on AIO Audio News. We’re back to covering the post-Blackgaard arc, which means we have a lot of story to catch up on, a lot of character development to cover, a lot of tangents to take, and a lot of jokes to make… but no red meat.

Buckle up. We’ve reached the Train Room scene in the review series of The Ties That Bind, and the thesis of the album has been laid bare. Ryan and I are here to go to the mat on picking apart every piece of this episode and album, and we hold nothing back in our candid but tasteful discussion of the issues at hand. Be forewarned that no stone is left unturned, and some listeners may be put off by my viewpoints. It’s a long but important discussion as we unpack just why The Ties That Bind is one of the most controversial series in Adventures in Odyssey.

We are back again continuing The Ties That Bind!

Please note that we do talk candidly about the themes and issues brought up in these episodes.

REVIEW — “The Rydell Revelations” (ft. Rachel and Josh Strnad)

lee@aioaudionews.com (Michael LaFaver) — Mon, 18 Jan 2021 21:19:00 GMT

The long-anticipated review of “The Rydell Revelations” with Rachel and Josh from the Return to Odyssey podcast has arrived … and it’s unlike any other review of the three-parter. Nothing is held back as the couple presents the case that this end of the Rydell Saga is the worst possible outcome for the series, with flaws ranging from plot deficiencies, broken characterization, and the betrayal of the integrity of John Avery Whittaker.

This podcast includes Wyatt Jackson, Lee Acim, Michael LaFaver, and New Wyatt “duking it out” over Wyatt’s first podcast, a review of “Terror from the Skies” (Anchor.fm). Wyatt recently did his own reaction of that podcast with his co-host (Anchor.fm), which prompted me to invite Wyatt onto Audio News to react to a recording I made when I first listened to the podcast.

Since our former and present selves’ voices overlap quite a bit, this podcast has been produced in wide stereo and is best listened to on headphones. Old voices are on the left, and new voices are on the right.

The oft referenced but rarely featured Hannah Matlock joins her husband and me to review the second episode in this fascinating two-parter, “The Right Choice, Part 2.” Now that both parts are in, we assess Eugene’s behavior and its lasting implications, Katrina’s reactions to the situation, and how Whit’s storyline provides a curious parallel to the main plot. And also roosters. And organic food.

Back in August, Wyatt Jackson finished covering the Leonard Meltsner Saga with his co-host on his podcast Adventures Into Odyssey, but without covering “A New Era, Parts 1 to 3.” The three-parter was crying out to be discussed, so I asked Wyatt to come on to talk about it. In this review, we discuss Leonard’s character development, God’s calling, and more.

REVIEW — “A Christmas Conundrum” (ft. Roy from ATC)

Roy from Audio Theatre Central goes rogue and leaves JD and Andrew to join me on Audio News for an episode review! In the spirit of the season, we’re reviewing “A Christmas Conundrum.” We discuss classic Odyssey chemistry, situational comedy, John Campbell’s festive score, and the meta-moral of the plot … interspersed with a fair bit of chuckling.

REVIEW — “The Right Choice, Part 1”

lee@aioaudionews.com (Michael LaFaver) — Sun, 13 Dec 2020 09:00:00 GMT

As a breath of fresh air, Ryan and I head back to a more nostalgic era of AIO to review the next episode in the post-Blackgaard arc, “The Right Choice, Part 1.” Throughout our gleeful raving over the episode, we discuss “who started it,” if jet lag is a poor excuse, consequences for immaturity, Brandon’s character arc, and parallels between this episode and both of our love lives. It’s the longest and deepest review we’ve done so far.

The story continues, and so do the themes, in Part 4 of The Ties That Bind. Ryan and I go into our thoughts on a few hilarious lines, how Paul McCusker’s theology is presented by his characters, the progression of the plotlines so far, Whit’s spiritual radar, and vilifying the opposition.

REVIEW — “The Ties That Bind, Part 3”

lee@aioaudionews.com (Michael LaFaver) — Tue, 01 Dec 2020 18:44:32 GMT

Icky feelings abound this for this review of the next episode in The Ties That Bind. As the plot develops and the Parkers are introduced into the story, we discuss Connie’s role as Jules’s guardian, Hadley’s motivations for his clumsiness, and the Parker parents’ parenting strategies. It’s case-sensitive, as they say.

We made it to the fountain pen! As “The Ties That Bind” reviews with Ryan continue, we discuss analogies about Biblical marriage, villains dropping clues, good spirituality, and Hadley. In addition, we further evaluate Paul McCusker’s writing and speculate on its evolution through the rest of the arc.

Please note that we do talk candidly about the themes and issues brought up in these episodes.

Ryan’s Short Film: Gimme Time To Think

REVIEW — “The Ties That Bind, Part 1”

lee@aioaudionews.com (Michael LaFaver) — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 19:05:57 GMT

Ryan is back again to begin a long-anticipated review series of “The Ties That Bind,” starting with Part 1. As the fourteen-parter opens, we discuss how this episode sets up a lot of storylines, if Paul McCusker’s writing holds up, and whether Wooton or Penny (or Hadley) is more unbearable by the end. And this all ties into Biblical marriage somehow? Let’s find out.

Please note that we do talk candidly about the themes and issues brought up in these episodes.

Although the saga of Morrie Rydell is over, there are still listeners who haven’t heard all nine episodes, or any of them, for that matter. Today, Josh and Rachel sit down with Lee to discuss the first three episodes in the saga — and see just how close two old-era Odyssey fans come to predicting “The Rydell Revelations.”

For a special review, the hosts of the Return to Odyssey Podcast, Rachel and Josh, join AIO Audio News to discuss the third episode of AIO, “Lights Out at Whit’s End.” Could this episode actually be a hidden gem of storytelling (and songwriting)? Probably not, but let’s find out!

REVIEW — “The Search for Whit, Part 3”

lee@aioaudionews.com (Michael LaFaver) — Thu, 14 May 2020 01:39:35 GMT

The search for Whit concludes! As we wrap up the first half of the post-Blackgaard arc, the plot of the last three episodes gets quite a hashing out, and somehow we manage to be serious at least some of the time. (Or do we? I don’t know.)

Prayers and support for writer Kathy Buchanan and family

lee@aioaudionews.com (Michael LaFaver) — Sun, 04 Aug 2019 21:21:32 GMT

From AIO Update:

Kathy Buchanan has been part of the Adventures in Odyssey team since 1999. Perhaps you know her best from the countless fan favorites she’s written over the years, such as Green Eyes and Yellow Tulips, Do or Diet, Sunday Morning Scramble, For Better or For Worse, and One More Name [or from my criticism of her recent work –Ed.]. This weekend we received some very sad news. On Friday, August 2nd, Kathy’s husband Sean died in a traffic accident. Sean leaves behind his wife – Kathy, and daughters: Jasyln – age 15, Maleah – age 12, Bella – age 10, and two adopted sons: Michal – age 8 and Divin – age 6. It’s at times like these that we need to come together to show our support. Recently a GoFundMe campaign was set up called the Sean Buchanan Memorial Fund to cover various costs to help the family through this tragedy. Please pray for Kathy and her family and consider sharing and donating to the crowdfunding campaign.
