The show that started it all: Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (and the wacky Japanese show it recycled scenes from) has been a kids classic for thirty years. There have been movies, video games, and multiple generations of TV shows, but the original season is its own kind of special. Join us as we relive our childhoods, argue about our favorite rangers, and compare the US show with the original Japanese one. Special thanks to our brothers, Nick Pula and Ben Wilton, for their help with this episode.

Chelsea and Ania discuss another Matt Groening gem, Futurama! Turns out, it’s a dump of site gags and Easter eggs the size of New New York. But don’t worry, we’ve done all the screen-pausing and googling for you, so you just have to lean back, crack a beer, and try not to fall back into a cryogenic freezing chamber for 1,000 years.

Get ready to clutch your pearls and hold on to your layers of unnecessary underwear! This episode is all about Bridgerton! Chelsea and Ania discuss the drama, fashion, and anachronisms that have made this one of the hottest new shows on Netflix.

Rick and Morty premiered in 2013. The brainchild of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland, this weird cartoon has inspired comics, anime films, Dungeons & Dragons adventures, and so much merchandise. Kayla Cobb may have captured the shows essence when she wrote, "It’s a never-ending fart joke wrapped around a studied look into nihilism." Join us this week as we rediscover the shows aired pilot episode, including behind-the-scenes production process and other fun facts. Special thanks to our brothers, Nick Pula and Ben Wilton, for their support with this show.
