Episode 11-ish – The Impromptu Birdy Show


In this titillating episode, Ben and Neil sit down to talk about an old favorite, Birdy The Mighty, confirming once again that you can never get enough of invincible girls in revealing battle leotards. This is a special side-by-side episode, where we talk about the Birdy OVA versus the Birdy Decode TV series.

The animation direction in both are nice, but we definitely prefer the original.

Neil also weighs in the sub-versus-dub debate and confirms yet again that he had a very heterosexual childhood.

This episode is not very produced. There are some volume issues, but with a higher quality recording, clarity shouldn’t be a problem. Just make sure to have your volume set at a comfortable level. Also note that we were very tired.

Be sure to check out Neil’s second appearance on This Week In Geek, as he sat in for the Nerd News. Neil before Dodd!

Next week is Macross. No, really.

Episode 9 – Ben’s Top 20

It’s Ben’s top 20 animated series! What made the list? What is number 1? Which cartoon characters are called out for being Poochie? Find out in this 70-minute discussion about cartoons of yesteryear.

On this special episode, we’re joined by webcomic artist Stephanie O’Donnell, author of Perfect Agent. Also, Neil is reunited with childhood friend Jeff Waske.

Episode 7 – X-Men Evolution

A good series that doesn’t get the praise it deserves.  It was a well-written show with characters you actually like, compelling stories, appealing character models, and high quality animation.

Unfortunately, the show was pulled just as it was getting good.

Episode 6 – Spider-Man Unlimited

In this series, Spider-Man creates a new suit that looks nothing like Spider-Man and travels to Counter Earth, where he meets villains that have nothing do with anything that Spider-Man fans want to see.  Except for Carnage and Venom.  …oh wait.

Also, Spider-Man can apparently scale a launch tower faster than a shuttle can take off.  He also announces that he’s taking his pal Peter Parker along, so that nobody on Earth would become suspicious of Parker’s sudden disappearance.

Oh, and Peter’s hair totally looks like Fighter from Final Fantasy.

Episode 5 – The Incredible Hulk

This episode is all about throwing bears, Hulk-anomic super math, unlockable Hulk achievements, blood transfusions for back pain, Zen Banner, gamma radiation super mosquitoes, Hulk’s feelings, Canadian superheroes, doing horrible things to Freddie Prinze Jr., and lots of other things that have absolutely nothing to do with talking about the Hulk cartoon series.
