By The Power

“He's got a powerful stink, and he don't like pink.

Durango Doug.

He's got a rock-hard head, and he eats stale bread.

Durango Doug.”

In this week’s episode, the Power Squad review the 90s Nickelodeon hit show 'Doug'.

This recording has everything you can expect from a classic 'By the Power' Podcast, we discuss the difference in toilets around the world, the best way to make gravy, cartoons based around the explorer Christopher Columbus and we even manage to have a quick chat about ‘Doug’.

We reviewed the episode ‘Doug: Way Out West’ Season 4 Episode 12B.

This week Seymour Krelborn puts his seed in a pot and a giant sharp toothed man eating monster appears.

Its every 13 year olds nightmare in this cartoon version of the black comedy movie from 1960 (yup that was news to us too! the 1982 one IS better though)

We imagine man eating plants and plant eating mans! which is worse? spoiler its the vegans!

We quiz, quip and quoth all in quadraphonic audio so dont miss a moment with this amazing quad squad as we discuss 'Little Shop' Episode 11 'Walk like a nerd'.

Chiba chiba sohpa?

The Power Squad (that’s us four sexy badgers) were all set and ready to record another globally acclaimed and award winning podcast when the bulbs of light hit us…

Today is the 4th May, or May the 4th…something that gets discussed on this bloody great ear juice of a listen. Either way, it’s Star Wars day bayyyybayyyyyy.

And so….last minute change of plans. ‘Let’s cover an 80’s/90’s Star Wars cartoon’ and we have already covered Droids. Stop and sing long time “Trouble again…du du du…trouble again”. If that makes no sense, go right now and listen to the Droids theme and then come back and tell us how we have wasted you time. Lol. I hate Lol but continue to write lol. Hang about…Does Lol have a capitol L? It does now.

Right - what do you get if you say wookie backwards?

Ewok.

This week we cover: ‘Star Wars: Ewoks’. The series centers on the adventures of the Ewok, Wicket W. Warrick and his friends on the forest moon of Endor before the events of the original Star Wars film. The episode we ‘loosely’ cover is ‘Battle for the Sun Star’ (E12 S2).

This is also available on Disney+ who I am informed is going to be the next By The Power sponsor.

As usual you have 5 minutes of cartoon talk and 55 minutes of ‘Would you rather’, the hit segment ‘Would I lie to you’, conversation about food, Talk about Batman and a chat about Stu’s fantasy of sticking his man lightsaber in a small, furry, mammaloid biped.

Oh and by the way, we speak some badass Ewokese. ‘Chiba chiba sohpa?’ translates as - "Hide and then come out chopping heads?". Yep.

#MayThe4thBeWithYou

The Moronic four discuss the Bionic Six, and there can be only one outcome.

And as expected its an episode filled with nonsense, jokes, arguments, trivia and a would you rather that unbelievably ISN'T about Bionic Dicks.

This 80's cartoon based heavily on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman has all of the Power Squad in agreement as we watched episode 2 from Season 1 "Enter the Bunji".

In this episode we take a look at Brave Starr, the gun toting, bear lifting, Eagle seeing, wolf hearing, pooooma racing Marshall who takes no prisoners.

Well except for the guys he arrests. They are his prisoners.

OK so in this episode we take a look at Brave Starr, the gun toting, bear lifting, Eagle seeing, wolf hearing pooooma racing Marshall who takes prisoners.

Not since seeing Zammo from Grange Hill (if you know you know) have I ever been this put off taking drugs. So grab your kids and settle down for a cautionary tale about drugs, addiction, and a talking horse.

The episode we watched was BraveStarr S01E26 'The Price'

In this episode of By The Power, we are ‘loosely’ covering the ‘Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog’.

The cartoon is based on the classic video game Sonic the Hedgehog and is one of three different Sonic cartoons produced in the 90s and for some reason, we chose to cover the lowest ranked of the three.

Listen to one hours’ worth of BTP fun where we have a ‘dramatic’ result in ‘would I lie to you’, cover all the usual By The Power discussion points and a lot of chat about Tails.

The BTP team watched ‘’Tails in Charge’’ Season 1 episode 26.

Sonic Sez, ‘’Give the By The Power podcast a 5 star review’’

Ok you monkey paw loving, berry scrubbing little sausages; sing along with me now…

“Muppet Babies, we make our dreams come trueeeeee. Muppet Babies, we'll do the same for youuuuuu”

That’s right, this week we are covering X-Men…Just kidding of course. Lol as the kids say, Wocka Wocka as we say.

This week we are ‘loosely’ covering (and I mean loosely covering) Muppet Babies.

Waving arms wildly and shouting "Yaaaay!" is optional.

Not the 2018 version that includes that stupid a$$ penguin called Summer. We’re old school baybayyyyyyyy!!! We are covering the 1984 classic that stars Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Scooter, Skeeter, Rowlf the Dog (who looks very similar to ‘By The Power’ host James) and Gonzo.

The episode we cover is Season 1 Episode 12 – ‘from a galaxy far, far away’. Jamie dropped a bit of a blooper here as he thought this was the Star Wars Muppet Babies episode. It wasn’t but it does have a koala in it so kind of close…

Listen in for the usual cartoony nonsense, the hit quiz ‘would I lie to you’, a classic ‘would you rather’ and the terrible segment ‘which goody would you kill and how’.

Jeez Louise…It’s no wonder we can’t get a sponsor. Give us all the monies.

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do?

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do?

Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?

We review an absolute classic the CARTOON show COPS (Central Organization of Police Specialists) from 1984.

In an arresting episode of BTP, we charge headlong into 'would I lie to you', murdering cartoon characters, asking ridiculous questions and everything else you love from the squad.

We watched "The case of the missing memory" which is episode 55 from the second season.

It' s Canadian Cartoon week and we are watching ‘The raccoons’!

The fantastic Bert, his married roommates, an evil aardvark, three little pigs, a dog another aardvark and multiple bears.

Its a truly stacked week and we make things even more complicated by watching an episode involving dreams and time travel, to quote James directly “Am I watching the right thing? I don’t understand what’s happening?”.

He doesn’t! Jamie doesn’t! Does anyone? Is this how people feel when they listen to us?!

Lots more in this episode with your very favourite BTP member Kane, our usual features and a special little surprise.

This week we watched The Raccoons Season 2 Episode 10 ’Time trap’.

Tonight we discuss a Cartoon Network classic, its one of the longest running cartoons they have produced so it must be good! right? RIGHT!!

The BTP squad have a potentially controversial opinion on this one as we discuss the good bad and ugly of the three Eddie's.

We lighten things up with our popular features and really light it up when we discuss this weeks would you rather.

Kane provides the heavy lifting this week, just leaving the hosting to Stu, the jokes to James and the angry ranting to Jamie.

This week we watched Ed' Edd N Eddy So4E02 'An Ed is born'.
