We revisit our youth with Pokémon: The First Movie (or Mewtwo Strikes Back).

An utter nostalgia bomb of a film, we dig into its weird release history, its terrible dub, and talk about how, for many 90s kids Pokémon: The First Movie, was the first anime film they ever saw.

Toonami Absolution is a weekly podcast where Alyx, Jon, and Sam revisit the Toonami and Adult Swim shows that made them, and you, you.

From the block's early days with shows like Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Transformers: Beast Wars to the imported anime that made Toonami and Adult Swim appointment television for a generation of kids, such as Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball.
