Episode 51: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Side-By-Side – 1987 Vs. 2003

Turtles Forever

The Mirage Era goes out with a bang

We’re back to a standard episode this week to do a very special Ninja Turtles retrospective. Today we talk about the ’87 Turtles, the ’03 Turtles, and everything in between. Joining us again this week are JT of Authentic Geek and Kittyhawk of Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki.

We love the Turtles. Though only one show can emerge victorious, this isn’t quite the landslide that was our X-Men Side-By-Side. Both shows here are recommendable. Just stay away from anything involving rewinds or red skies.

Topics:
April’s cleavage
Destroying the Technodrome cures Splinter
Battletoads still sucks ass
Donatello and Jack Kirby save Asgard
Shredder vs. Skeletor vs. Cobra Commander
Neil can find cartoon-accurate live-action hotties
GOONGALA!!!

Va-Va-VOOM!

We loves us some sexy April!


Sexy Irma

JT is responsible for this, and he will pay!

Episode 50: Wonder Woman!

Nothing to lose your head over...

Nothing to lose your head over...

Tonight, we continue our crossover with Tooncast Beyond, discussing the DC Animated original… Wonder Woman! A total palette cleanser after last week’s bomb.

Topics:
-Crap!
-Girls naked in a pond, splashing each other playfully
-Neil takes a long time to process the film
-Steve Trevor fapping in the bushes
-Tom Wilson is an awesome stand-up comedian

Bonus content topics:
-PC gaming
-Sega CDX: The battery muncher!
-Saturn and Neptune
-Yugi Naka’s head is up Uranus

Episode 49: Batman Gotham Knight

Batman - Gotham Knight

How do you screw THIS up?!

We continue our crossover series with Tooncast Beyond, talking about the DC animated original movies. This time it’s a coiler known as Batman: Gotham Knight. Incorrectly labeled as a bridge between Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, the only stories this film seems intent on bridging are its own.

And that’s the weird part, folks, because beside the chronological link between each story, they have almost nothing to do with one another. Oh, but don’t let this blog entry spoil everything. You’ll need to listen to the show to listen to us really rip this POS apart.

Topics:
-Batman vs Duke Togo would break the universe
-OMG! KAWAII BISHOUNEN BRUCE WAYNE! (I wanna throw up after typing that)
-Anthology movies usually have an over-arcing plot. USUALLY!
-Neil adds a rating to the IGN Replacement Crew scoring system
-Mike gets up to answer the door.

As usual, our show is expanded, with hilarious pre- and post-show banter. Technical difficulties happen. We discuss sound elements. A toilet is flushed. Stuff you’re only going to hear on our show. And Married… With Children.

There is also special “bonus track” featuring audio from our first attempt at the video games episode. Lots of off-topic discussion kept the show from being released, but the best banter has been spared, with topics that were not covered in our released version!

Bonus content topics:
-An expanded discussion of Mario’s lore
-The two Sonics
-Kittyhawk’s Franken-Saturn
-Game manual artists
-Everyone’s dead in Lavender Town
-The Sakura Wars theme… My GOD! The Sakura Wars theme!!!!

Black Friday Special: Video Games!


My goodness, look at all that CRAP!
Yep, it’s filler episode time, boys and girls! We’re here with our Black Friday special, and it’s only a day late! Kittyhawk sits down with Ben and I to talk about some vidji games. But WAIT! We are not alone on this intrepid journey, because joining us tonight is none other than Mike “The Birdman/Captain Awesome” Dodd of This Week In Geek! Pop some Nodoze, folks. This is gonna be a long one. Yes, we love video games so much that we allowed the show to go EPIC-LENGTH!!!

This episode is about:
Let’s play some Mary-Oh, eh?
Only 40 hours until it starts getting good!
Tales from the Game Stop
Dick games
Sega fanboys
Neil doesn’t like Rare.
Our favorite chip tune themes
Neil responds to Chris Bores
Saturn is the greatest system ever, and you suck if you think otherwise
The guy who took Kittyhawk’s copy of Final Fantasy III is rightchere
Don’t like the CDi Zeldas? Well exCUUUUUSE ME, Princess!

Episode 48: Justice League: The New Frontier

Justice League: New Frontier

Classic heroes done classically. Who'da thunk?


We continue with our Animation Aficionados/Tooncast Beyond crossover with this very special episode about a very special movie. It’s Justice League: The New Frontier! This movie has all the characters we love in their classic incarnations. However, bucking the usual trend, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman all take a back seat here, because the real star of this movie is Barry Allen! No wait, it’s Hal Jordon. No, actually it’s Martian Manhunter.

Oh, I don’t even know anymore! Just watch the film. It’s pretty good.

As with last week, our version of the show has additional audio. In our extras, we discuss Thundercats, Bill Paxton Pinball, and Nintendo Wii. Plus, Ben tries to break Mike’s brain with the Animaniacs clown… and SUCCEEDS!
