good guest
How do you talk Sherlock Holmes & never mention the Basil Rathbone 40s film series—Especially its use of propaganda. Bcoz OF COURSE Moriarty worked for the Nazis.
There should be a Black Mirror sims episode!!
The Japanese name for Kadabra is Yungerer which is a corruption of Uri Geller
Whoever this guest is, they love the show no doubt. but I can say this wasn't my fave episode because of said guest.
they said physical if not emotional maturity. to me that implies a lack of emotional maturity (i.e. his body grew faster therefore looks adult, but his mind is still only as old as the real time frame in which they grew the body)
hummm....have you guys played anymore than 2 zelda games??? how can you make a podcast and not be informed about the games?!?!
y'all probably already know, but look up dr awkward. he does a song called abyss about aquaman, its super fresh
what character does Danny plays in wreck it Ralph?
the insane thing about "the moment" (that uber parry madness) was that it happened a second time. same players, same characters style rematch and it came down to the exact same situation with the same insane parry ftw
remember kids-Seargant Slaughter says "knowing is half the battle"
Supposedly the woman who invented monopoly was also an anarchist, and she made it to illustrate the evils of capatalism. Almost to good to be true, but funny all the same
The OG genesis controller you had to press start to switch between kicks and punches it was so hard to play that way lol. The 2nd gen controller had 6 buttons xyz at the top ABC on the bottom lol

I love this podcast! I'm a black nerd and proud of it! I'm loving learning things I didn't know about G.I Joe, Transformers, and TMNT. I'm also a Trekkie and would love to see a Star Trek episode! Thank you for existing! Live long and prosper!
I love you guys! Nickelodeon also aired their ONLY teen soap opera called "Hillside" which starred RYAN REYNOLDS lol. it ran from 1991-1993.
Does anyone remember Ryan Reynolds started in a Nickelodeon term drama series called "Fifteen"
