Basket Traffic: History versus Hollywood
Need a break from the intensity of life? Need a laugh? Join our podcast. We fuse Film and TV with (light) History and try to find the comedy in it.
Hailing from Vancouver, this podcast is brought to you by hosts Craig, Shawn and Susie. Through story telling and conversation, our podcast grinds and plods along a meandering path of history and entertainment. Craig brings the history. Shawn brings the cinephilia and Susie wants nothing to do with any of it. In short, we're seriously unserious and a little irreverent.
Have a listen and press "follow" if you enjoy it. We'd really appreciate it.

Welcome back to the show where we combine film, history and comedy.
Today we journey back to the Pride Lands to explore the legacy behind one of Disney’s most iconic kings. With Mufasa: The Lion King, we’re given a deeper look at the rise of Mufasa—not just as a ruler, but as a symbol of courage, sacrifice, and what it truly means to lead.
This isn’t just another return to a beloved story. It’s an origin tale—one that reshapes how we understand the wisdom, strength, and quiet authority that defined Mufasa in The Lion King. From humble beginnings to legendary status, this film asks a timeless question: are heroes born, or are they forged through hardship?
Today, we break down the story, the themes, and whether this new chapter lives up to the legacy of the king who once told us that everything the light touches is part of a greater circle. Let’s get into it.
