Penny Men

#107 - 'Super Friends' (Part 1)


Listen Later

The Penny Men dive headfirst into the wobulous, Hanna-Barbera-fueled world of Super Friends, where cosmic legends fight injustice, censorship fights punches, and Wonder Dog somehow outranks Krypto!


The Penny Men lead you through a surprisingly dense exploration of Super Friends lore—covering the cartoons, the comics, the junior Justice League, the Super Foes, and why Batman keeps letting children wander into active crime scenes!


Along the way, the guys unpack:

  • 1970s broadcast standards
  • Environmental PSA villains
  • Filmation leftovers
  • Continuity gymnastic
  • And the philosophical question: what element is Batman, really?

Expect:

  • Deep DC cuts
  • Hanna-Barbera trivia
  • Casey Kasem voice-count math
  • Aquaman villain slander
  • And a passionate defense of Wendy and Marvin as the most competent people in the Hall of Justice!

Some of us are super!

Some of us are friends!

All of us are recording!
