Episode 213

This week's episode is all about your guilty pleasures from childhood, the shows which you love, but don't always admit to loving. So let Jii, Sam and Glenn take you on a trip down the lesser known memory lane, the one with the path least trodden, as we look at the Jems, the Rainbow Brites and yes, the My Little Ponies! There's also a whole boatload of Transformers news to be getting on with, and I DO mean a boatload!

Episode 212

No news this week guys, mainly because Jenny from World of Crap's back, and this time, it's serious. Like, Argos and Index catalogue serious. But wait, there's more! Not only do Jenny, Sam and Glenn talk about the catalogues, but also 80's party food, things you'd find in a doctor's waiting room, and the TV Times quiz questions! They also find time to answer some listener questions as well, you lucky people. Well, I say lucky...

NERD tries to explain Castle Grayskull to his GIRLFRIEND!

Episode 211

This week sees the nostalgia TARDIS (with full crew of Glenn, Phil, Sam and Jii) land in the peaceful serenity of the Evergreen Forest. That is, until Bert Raccoon wakes up. The merry hell breaks out. That must mean the this week's spotlight regards the brilliant Canadian 80's cartoon, The Raccoons! There's also news of a Mattel kind, with new PR management possibly already making it's prescence felt, and new heads for your Skeletor figure, as well as all the Turtles, Thundercats (including some weird ideas for the original series) and Star Wars news! Oh, and if you ever wondered if there were any series that have let the guys down when they went back to watch them, well, here's the place to be!

When the Music Stops: The A-Team - Follow That Chicken

In this week's readalong adventure, it's up to everyone's favourite soldiers of fortune to clear the name of a young man who has been framed for a crime he didn't commit...so basically, business as usual, really. Just as an aside, the "Rainbow" calling card at the start of the audio may whisk you back to being 5 years old again in less than a nanosecond. You have been warned.

Masters of the Universe Classics: Mosquitor! - Dread Tidings
