Episode 437 - Brad and Glenn Love Star Wars: Mando Edition


Brad from the TFYTC is back with us again, as we take another trip into the Star Wars Universe, this time with particular focus on the excellent Disney+ series, The Mandalorian!

This WAS recorded before the finale though, so at least this time around you'll be spared the sound of two grown men crying over the fate of a Muppet. Next time though...

Episode 436 - Transformers: Marvel UK December 1984!


Marvel UK's Transformers first Christmas was not a very Christmassy affair, as they seemed to have a lot of US Transformers material to get through - you'd think that maybe they could have sacrificed the Machine Man comics, though. Oh well.

Join Andy from the Smorgaspod and myself as we go through the UK's premier transforming robots comic of the 80s!
