So guys, we’ve started adding commentaries to the end of some eps. We want to know what you guys think. Should we continue doing these commentaries? Stop them alltogether? Remove them from the regular podcast and have them as extras?

Why is Dr. Doom sharing a laugh with Bob Cratchet?
And now for the proper episode for this week. Tom Revor joins us yet again to talk about one of the earliest Marvel Productions cartoons, Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. While most of the episodes were finished at David DePatie’s old animation studio here in the good ol’ US of A, three very special episodes were done by Toei in Japan.
Show topic:
How to draw spider webbing
Microwavable breasts
Backdoor pilot episodes
Marrying a supermodel
Aunt May’s secret villainous side

Sadly, MOST of these people are dead.
Taking a break from our normal routine of talking about animation, we’re joined by Tom Revor to talk about local kids shows (and some shows that are technically not appropriate for children) as well as some network and public access shows as well. Although, we never stray too far from the mark, because even Jim Henson got his start in local TV.
This episode was put together to honor the life of Mr. Peppermint, who died this past week. Ben was the most familiar with the show Peppermint Place. Later in the show, Tom and I kind of take over with our Chicago nonsense, and I barrage the show with sound clips from the WGN library. …Oopsie.
Discussed:
Mr. Peppermint
The Lone Ranger
Sesame Street
Mr. Rogers
Captain Kangaroo
Bozo
Ray Rayner
Garfield Goose
The Gigglesnort Hotel
Thomas The Tank Engine
…and so much more.
Where does he get those wonderful toys?
This weekend was a rather lazy weekend, except for of course recording a new ep on Saturday. The eps were rather awesome, so you guys are in for a great treat when they’re ready. On the weekends, if I’m not going out to meet anyone or going on a date, I usually wear what I call a ‘house shirt’, one of several t-shirts I have.
This weekend, I wore a Halo ODST shirt I got when I was working at Gamestop Corporate(they had a table of merchandise that always had stuff we could just grab). Heck, I don’t even have an XBox. So I wore this shirt, went to a Chick-Fil-A and some random guy saw me and said “Whoa! Awesome shirt!”. I was never a frumpy dresser, and always got nice collared shirts for the week and clean, well-pressed slacks. I’ve never had my clothes complimented before, much less by another guy. I was like “Really?” I mean, what was I SUPPOSED to say?
It seemed he wanted to continue a conversation about a game I never played, but luckily, his order was called so I was able to get my food and duck out. Just another strange adventure in my neck of the woods. New ep will be forthcoming! Marvel fans should rejoice, this one’s special.
P.S… upon google searching, it appears the ODST shirt I have was a prototype that was never made. Interesting….
