One franchise will stand, one will fall… and this time we take a look at the fallen one.

Next week: Transformers: Armada part 2


E121 – Transformers: Armada Part 1



The inevitable result of a show’s dub premiering before the show itself.

Autobots and Decepticons continue their eternal war, this time over smaller transformers that supposedly don’t want to be a part of it. Meanwhile, Michael is dumbfounded by the lack of characterization for the Minicons, Peter explains why there are no honorable mentions despite the episodic nature of the show, and both hosts contemplate the possibility that the sequel series is even worse.

Also included: nonsensical dialogue exchanges, the Squeaky-Voiced Teen gets his series debut, is Hotshot prejudiced against Minicons?

Transformers: Armada Part 2 will release July 29


MS64 – Toei’s Spider-Man



It’s the Spider-Man you know and love, just changed completely and piloting a giant robot from the Spider Planet! Y’know, just like Spider-Man!

E120 – The Big O Part 2



A season co-produced by Cartoon Network doesn’t pull any punches, be they giant-robot sized and literal or simply mindbending twists.

Roger Smith wakes up in an alternate Paradigm City, where none of the trappings of this show exist. It kind of makes sense, once things wrap up. Meanwhile, Michael is frustrated by a comedy focused episode, Peter points out Michael’s tendency to say he “actually” likes something as though that’s uncommon, and both hosts caution about monumental spoilers.

Also included: playing with toys, Michael’s confusion with barely-related things, further argument as to whether “Red” Dorothy is a robot

Transformers: Armada Part 1 will release July 15

MS63 – A Wind Named Amnesia



There’s a good chance aliens did it.

E119 – The Big O Part 1



What happens when everyone in the world loses their memory? No matter, giant robots are here to distract you!

Roger Smith is Paradigm City’s top negotiator, and don’t question what exactly that means. Meanwhile, Michael takes issue with what he considers the show’s stated concept, Peter praises the visual design, and both hosts suffer Big O related amnesia.

Also included: a startling lack of Rita Repulsa, trying to describe Big O’s arms, “Megadeus” vs. “Megadeuce”

The Big O Part 2 will release June 24

MS62 – Batman: Gotham Knight



We call it “Batmanimatrix”. Or maybe “Batman Legends”.

E118 – Batman Beyond Part 4



Who is it knocking off members of the Justice League Unlimited? Probably the one you least suspect…

Batman’s back to his old tricks, so no more High School stuff, and a whole lot more Justice League and also an international terrorist organization. Meanwhile, Michael corrects peter’s pronunciation of “Ra’s” and gets confused about when Batman begins came out, Peter doesn’t particularly like a brief batman musical, and both hosts conclude that Batman Beyond is a pretty solid visit.

Also included: Silver Fox Bruce *and* Superman, the flaws of bingeing episodic programming, a sign of Zeta (Project)

The Big O Part 1 will release June 18

Much less importantly, the episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation we discussed briefly is Season 5 Episode 6: The Game. Just watch the first ten minutes, you’ll see *exactly* what we were talking about.


Black Lives Matter



This podcast stands by Black Lives Matter.

The outright murder of George Floyd by the police is inexcusable, as is the near-constant abuse of the African American community by the law enforcement that is supposed to be protecting them. We feel this is obvious to anyone who cares to pay attention.

We feel it is important to use the platform we have, however small, to speak out against these injustices.

Of course, making this post doesn’t accomplish much on its own, which is why we implore you to donate or volunteer (or protest). Do what you can, because without serious, immediate reform, this problem isn’t going away any time soon.

Honestly, this post was partly spurred by seeing a similar post on Polygon, which we’re going to link below. They have an expansive list of charities and other ways that you can help support the cause. I implore you to do so, if you have the time or resources.

Former president Barack Obama also posted a list of charities to donate to on his website.

Finally, consider donating to either the ACLU or the Minnesota Freedom Fund.

Thank you for your time. The episode scheduled to release today will be releasing tomorrow instead.

Black Lives Matter.

It really is that simple.


MS61 – Yu-Gi-Oh 5D’s



A series in which the oppressed play a trading card game while riding on motorcycles.
