Steve and Jason return to the magical realm to see a very familiar tale of giants, eggs tall plants, and the find that the villain had what our heroes needed all the time!Covering the episodes 'P-R-E-S-T-O Spells Disaster' and 'The Girl Who Dreamed Tomorrow'.
Mark McManus returns to the podcast to discuss the antics of James Bond's nephew at spy school. Who is letting IQ loose with all this tech? Who thought 'SCUM' was a name that would strike fear into the heart of law enforcement around the world? And just what is the question no-one really wants to ask?Covering the episodes 'The Beginning', 'A Race to Disaster' and 'Red Star One', released on VHS in the 90s.
Drew and Jason encounter one of the more surreal episodes of the series, and one of the darkest, but never fear, the plucky little robot is on hand to rescue everyone in the other!Covering the episodes 'The Seat of Forgetfulness' and 'Trapped Between Fire and Ice'.
We're back in the magic realms of Dungeons and Dragons, and still trying to get home. We're flummoxed by the rules of magic, bemused by convertible spaceships, and why does one episode remind Jason of a Doctor Who story?Covering the episodes 'The Box' and 'The Lost Children'
Ellie Collins returns to the podcast and we find that a classic 90s cartoon really hasn't aged well. We wonder what was going through their minds when they animated some of this, and we think they were trying to recapture a previous format and missing the mark somewhat.Covering the episodes 'Rock and Ride!' and the two-part 'The Reeking Reign of the Head Cheese'
Drew and Jason continue wandering unknown stars in the 31st century, and face many questions. how does time work? Why don't the gods just blast him? Where is the instruction manual for that prism? These questions and more will fail to be answered....Covering the episodes 'Cronus, Father of Time' and 'The Temple of the Lestrigones'
Steve and Jason head back to the magic realms for back to back episodes where judging by appearances is a bad idea, and one in which an unlikely member of the team nearly becomes a king!Covering the episodes 'Quest of the Skeleton Warrior' and 'The Garden of Zinn'.
Robyn Watts makes a welcome return to the podcast to discuss with Jason a character from the vampire Hall of Fame who was, let's face it, less memorable than his sidekicks! It's Count Duckula himself, but everyone surely remembers Igor and Nanny more. "I'll get it..."
Drew and Jason are back in the 31st century for another staggeringly inept effort by the gods of Olympus to rid themselves on one man, and discovering Ulysses isn't the only one who makes questionable parenting decisions!Covering the episodes 'Mutiny on Board' and 'Secret of the Sphinx'.
Steve and Jason are back in the realm of 'Dungeons and Dragons', getting caught in a 'Prison Without Walls' and another with incredibly thick walls, guarded by a 'Servant of Evil'. Will the youngest and most annoying member of the party be the one to save the day?
Lucy McCaul returns to the podcast and she and Jason pay a visit to 29 Acacia Road to see a remarkable boy with a thing for bananas. Will the world be saved from the evil Dr Gloom, the Weatherman and General Blight? Well, the Goodies always win, after all....
Jason and Drew return to the 31st century for two more episodes of Ulysses 31. One of these certainly lives up to its name, and the other turned out better than the title suggested. But which is which...?Covering 'The Eternal Punishment' and 'Flowers of Fear'.
Steve and Jason return to the magic realm of 'Dungeons and Dragons' and have some serious questions about Dungeon Master's conduct, as well as getting a not-so-subtle lesson in standards of beauty and ugliness.Covering the episodes 'In Search of the Dungeon Master' and 'Beauty and the Bogbeast'.
Zoe returns to join Jason on a trip to Eternia, where we learn some important backstory about a main character that gets erased from everyone's memory, and witness possibly the least dramatic transformation into He-Man of the entire series!Covering the episodes 'Teela's Quest' and 'Battle of the Dragons'.
Mumbling Moons! Drew Wagar returns for another trip to the 31st century. One minute we're clearly drawing on a great literary classic, the other, well, not so much! Covering the episodes 'The Black Sphere' and 'Guardian of the Cosmic Winds'.
Steve W and Jason get swept away on a magical roller coaster into the realm of Dungeons and Dragons once more. This time we discover that running out of charge is just as much of a problem there! Covering the episodes 'The Hall of Bones' and 'Valley of the Unicorns'.
Robots In Your Eyes returns as Si Hart joins Jason for a trip to the 23rd century and the continuation of a classic series. It's Star Trek, Jim, but not as we know it! We discuss the episodes 'Yesteryear' and 'More Tribble, more Troubles'.
The end of an era, the beginning of a new golden age, you might call it a REBIRTH! The G1 Transformers cartoon comes to an end, but not before a few dozen new characters are thrown at us!
Covers the episodes 'The Rebirth, parts 1, 2 & 3'
Ellie Collins joins Steve and Jason to discuss a classic (albeit somewhat different from how we saw it in the UK back then), with mutant rats, ninja turtles, and Uncle Phil!
Covers the five-part opening miniseries 'Heroes in a Half-Shell'.
If these are the real Ghostbusters, who were those guys in the movie? When did Slimer join the team? What happened to Dana and Louis? Well, one of those questions will be (sort of) answered as Jason and Steve are joined by special guest Cooper Berryman.
Covering the episodes 'Ghosts R Us' and 'Killerwatt'.
