Tooncast Beyond – Episode 17: Mega Man

Mega hi! TV’s Mr. Neil here. I made an appearance on Tooncast Beyond last week to talk about the old Mega Man series from the 90s. I’ve embedded the YouTube video below, but for anyone who wants to listen to the MP3, head on over to Tooncast’s page for the download link.

Also, we talked about this cartoon and more when Bob Mackey of the Retronauts podcast joined us for Cartoons Based On Video Games. Speaking of Bob, he’ll be on tomorrow’s episode of Animation Aficionados, to talk to us about Animaniacs and Tiny Toons.

Also, be sure to listen to Ben’s appearance on the Beacon Newcast with our friend Thomas Revor, and our buddy Kittyhawk made an appearance on the MSTieCast!

Sexy Girls Episode 5 – Dressing Up Your Sexy Girls!

Donna Troy Wonder Woman

The tragically rare Donna Troy Wonder Woman costume

Today, we invited Kittyhawk of Valkyrie Yuuki over to play dress-up with the sexy girls. Annoyed by what the mainstream comic publishers consider sexy these days (especially with the new and “improved” Carol Danvers), we launch into a tirade about how hot chicks in fiction ought to look…at least from our perspective. This is mostly a superhero topic, so expect a lot of talk about tight-fitting clothing.

Topics covered:
Footwear: Flats vs. Heels
Sleeves or no sleeves
The French cut
Cloaks: It’s all about what’s underneath
Athletic costumes versus underwear
Sporty chicks are hot
Snaps, buckles, and zippers: How much is too much?
Using nanotech to explain why the clothes don’t just fall off
Neil and Kittyhawk make some not-so-subtle references to their own comics
And finally…LEOTARDS!!! (Yes, I’m that lame.)

The Debut of Wrestling Aficionados!

New WWF Logo

Effing pandas!

It’s the debut of our new podcast! WRESTLING AFICIONADOS!! It’s our look into the high-flying, action-packed phenomenon of professional wrestling. Get set for two body-slamming hours with Ben, TV’s Mr. Neil, and JT from Saskatoon!

Get ready for two solid hours of wrestling commentary!

The first half of our show is all about the golden era of the World Wrestling Federation. This is the place that gave us grown men who refer to themselves as bulldogs, junkyard dogs, snakes, cats, birds, dragons, gorillas, and weasels! This ain’t no wildlife fund. This is the real WWF!

The second half is our look at the Monday Night Wars between WWF and WCW. Two juggernauts square off in one of the most brutal ratings wars in television history. In the end, the rivalry is almost literally thrown away as WCW goes out of its way to fail again and again. And if that wasn’t enough, WWE pisses on the corpes of its former rival by first buying the company and then destroying everything that anyone ever loved about it.

WWF and WCW

The ultimate showdown of two giants that ended in a whimper.

Episode 71: Defending Teen Titans


Slade (aka Shredder)

When the evil Slade attacks, those Titan kids don't cut him no slack!

This week on Animation Aficionados, we’re joined by Fesworks of the Webcast Beacon Network and Ben Rodriguez of Peter Is The Wolf, as they attempt to defend the dastardly Teen Titans cartoon series. Ben and Neil accept this challenge and prepare for a mighty battle!

This episode is all about:
What the #@%! was Slade’s plan?!
Why is Robin such a DICK?!
Battered spouses
Once a hyper-competent, homicidal sociopath
Cyborg’s magic
Wanking off to anime
Episodes that were rape-tastic!
The Tyler Durden Episode
The weakest heelturn EVER!
People who defend Chris Benoit
And finally, we ask the question: Was Sam Register snorting coke off of the backs of Ami and Yumi?

Teen Titans

Dear Cartoon Network... Stop designing characters like this! STOP IT!!!


This.  Happened.

Isn't Robin wonderful? Don't you love it how he abuses us? Let's dress up like him!

Now, I don’t mean to brag or anything, but this is kind of how the show went:
Approximately How The Show Went

Cyborg doesn't make the save for Robin.

Don't worry, Cyborg. Soon, you'll be in a much better cartoon.

Episode 70: Justice League Doom

I'll take the second from the left.

Justice League Doom


Here we are at last! The final episode of the Animation Aficionados and Tooncast Beyond Crossover! In this episode, we review the newly-released Justice League Doom. In this, the last movie penned by Duane McDuffie, the Justice League are under attack from plans concocted by one of their own. We really nitpick this movie, with the understanding, of course, that such nitpicks go the film’s credit, because it really is a marvelous work that we could not identify any major flaws. This is a template for how animated superhero movies should be.

As with the other crossover episodes, we have our usual array of extras, including a rough cut, so you get to hear all the funny asides when we screw up. There’s also over an hour’s worth of a bonus show featuring Thomas Revor and listener of the show Richard, as we talk more about the DC movies, comics, and… Girl Scout cookies.

Be prepared to set aside two hours of your time. This is a long one, folks!

It appears to be the Ace of Spades!
