Episode 427: Hallowe'en Special 2020 - Nightmare Planet!


Happy Hallowe'en! Even though 2020 is plenty scary enough for everyone, let's celebrate the spooky season with one of the scarier epsiodes of Transformers - Nightmare Planet!

Joining us is animator extraordinary and all round good guy Harry Partridge, so let's make our way into dreamland and wonder just *how* did Springer and Razorclaw escape that dungeon?

Justice For All: Episode 13 - Man of Steel


We have Tasmin joining us again for this episode, this time to talk about the 2013 reboot of the Superman franchise, Man of Steel! And because it's JFA, there's also talk of the Snyderverse AND DC Universe in general, because why not, right?

Episode 426: Stand By For ACTION!


Pete from the Smorgasbored podcast joins us this week, and we're off to Marineville for a nice little holiday filled with sea invaders, love triangles, descending buildings and awesome submarines as we take a look at a Gerry Anderson programme from the Sixties that was all over Eighties (and Nineties) kid's programming - Stingray!

Episode 425: It's So Bad.


We have Chris Vint joining us this week, and it's a bit of a videogamey one, considering we're talking about the 1989 movie that Nintendo filled to the brim with product placement - The Wizard!

But is this version of Tommy for Gen X any good? Or is it like the Power Glove itself, "So Bad?" Join us to find out!

Episode 424 - Claws of Doom!


We're welcoming a special guest today who hasn't been of for a while - it's author, podcaster and all round great guy George Daniel Lea!

He's here to talk about the Decepticon Leader from 1987 who's making a resurgence thanks to his Earthrise toy - the evil and cruel Scorponok! From his comic appearences in Marvel UK all the way to the present day, it's all about the eight legged Headmaster menace!
