Champions...of Digression!

Look, I'll be honest. This issue is titled "Monster Bait", so the podcast is about 75% "monsterbation" jokes. Sorry.

Pirate lore! Arctic mirage fun facts! Fractions! A really stupid game Cory and I used to play! The pronunciation of "sluice"! All this and more are discussed as the Titans fight a bunch of motorcycle jerks in the desert.

Look, we talk about a bunch of stuff in this one; violence sometimes being the answer, quasi illiterate submarine pirates, jetties, lots of stuff. But if there's one thing to take away from this episode it is this: a lentil-walnut burger does NOT taste like a hamburger!

Giant Robots, xenophobia, Pontiac Aztecs, Beatles impressions and the return of a favorite trope! Probably some other stuff too. Who knows?

The Mad Mod! Robot barracudas and and a far too long debate about "houndstooth" abound as the Titans take a Rock & Roll whirlwind tour of Europe. We might have flown to close to the liquor sun on this one and it may have melted the wax on our wings of coherence. Which is to say, much like this metaphor, this episode got away from us a little.

Beast Boy guest stars! We meet the shittiest Beastmaster, learn that Robin assumes his experiences are universal (I mean, we're all acrobats, right?) and discuss the hypnotic powers of various primates. Enjoy! Enjoy!

In this week's episode we learn about the importance of trust, redemption, and eavesdropping. Fred MacMurray vs. Jerry Orbach continue their epic battle of good vs. putting baby in the corner, and Robin makes a few Freudian slips.

Shivering shafts, here comes Speedy! Parents: do they understand? No, they just don't. Wonder Girl engages in some hobo shaming as the Teen Titans and Speedy heady to the 1964 Olympics. Join us, won't you?

We read Teen Titans #3. A whole bunch of shit happens, but the most important thing to take away from this issue is this: the villain is named Ding Dong. That's right, Ding Dong. ttwasteland.tumblr.com

Cory's anthropology degree is put to the test as we read Teen Titans #2, featuring the Million Year Old Teenager! Spoiler alert: it turns out we're all a bunch of goddamn Akkurus. Bummer! ttwasteland.tumblr.com
