🎄 Hang on to your hats as we blast back to 1987 to revisit the Filmation space western BraveStarr and its dickens of a backstory.

🎙 Guests:  

Joey O. (Y-Not Radio, Words With Nerds, @ImGonnaDJ24).

💬 Topics & Tangents:  

1. The official BraveStarr YouTube channel.  

2. The Fisher-Price Western Town I used as a backdrop for the much larger Bravestarr action figure.  

3. Joey’s interview with Pat Fraley (Marshal BraveStarr).  

4. This episode uses flashback scenes from the movie BraveStarr: The Legend, which explains why the animation quality isn’t consistent.  

5. Young Tex Hex looks like a purple Faker from He-Man.  

6. Stampede, the show’s even bigger bad, grants Tex Hex the power of transformation, because Filmation really wanted to teach kids that things that transform are evil.  

7. The “present-day” husband of Tex’s former love, Ursula, looks like Fred Ward.  

8. The time BraveStarr found a kid dead of a drug overdose.
