Saturday Morning Cereal is a weekend talk podcast that celebrates the stories, characters, and themes that shaped us—from Saturday morning cartoons to the pop culture that’s grown up right alongside us.
With exclusive interviews featuring pop culture icons and the creative minds behind the moments that defined generations, we dig deep into the bowl of nostalgia (no toy surprise needed) to explore the past, present, and future of fandom.
Now in our 12th season and counting, our archive is a time capsule of pop culture’s biggest moments, people, and events—hosted by Grim Shea, Marke, and contributors Retro Cool Nerd’s Jimmy “The Gent” and Johnny Heck.
The cereal might be different, but the magic is still the same. Long before streaming queues and prestige TV, there was Saturday morning—cartoons, cereal, commercials, and that unfiltered childhood joy. We’re not just remembering it—we’re reimagining it, one crunchy, sugar-coated memory at a time.

Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of chocolate cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. This week, we talk Reacher with creator and author LeeChild and two interviews with “Jack Reacher” himself, AlanRitchson (Smallville, Blue Mountain State) Once “Jack Reacher” gets off a bus in the fictional town of Margrave, Georgia in Lee Child’s 1997 novel KillingFloor, we knew we were in for a hero unlike anything we’ve ever seen before. Built like a Michelangelo sculpture, Reacher is a drifter roaming the United States taking odd jobs and always finding himself in dangerous situations. He's a kind soul, always ready to help a person in need and do what’s right even if that means flexing his massive muscle and deadly military training to fight for truth and justice. This hero-of-few-words was such a pop culture smash success that new books, movies and TV shows just keep coming over 25 years later! You can catch the entire latest season over on Amazon Prime now. We watched it. You should too. Join Dan “Grim” Shea, Marke., and the “Retro Cool Nerd” Jimmy Leszczynski with Bleeding Cool Nerd to talk 28 novels, two Tom Cruise movies, two hit Amazon series seasons, plus two, count 'em onetwo Alan Ritchson interviews all about one of Lee Child’s most endearing characters… JACKED REACHER!
