Enjoy the show, and if yo

Season 2 Ep 21: The Story of The Blues Brothers Week 3 of PnP Month brings us our final Patron Pick for now, and it's from our good buddy Johnny-Boy!

Season 2 Ep 17: A MID-2000’s PIECE OF MEDIA? AS A STAND ALONE EPISODE?! ON A NOSTALGIA PODCAST FOCUSING ON THE 80s & 90s? MADNESS, I TELL YOU!! If you’re confused, that’s fine and understandable. It did seem relevant to cover the 2011 iteration of Thundercats as it is a piece of legacy media, features Larry Kenney, and would act as the last animated collaboration between

Season 2 Ep 16: TigerSharks Third time is NOT always the charm…in 1987, Rankin/Bass took one more shot at the space faring human/animal hybrid formula with their third effort…TigerSharks. Part of the Comic Strip syndicated cartoon block, TigerSharks would once again feature Larry Kenney and his Thundercats costars. Would this show make a splash like its predecessors? Find o

Season 2 Ep 15: Silverhawks Our month long celebration continues as we take flight to discuss Silverhawks! This 1986 series by Rankin/Bass saw several Thundercats actors (namely, Larry Kenney) giving life to a second roster of characters that seemed to be in a similar vein to the already successful Thundercats.
