Joe is missing.  While the hobo's away, the mice will play as they say.  Unfortunately this was the topic he chose so it's up to the rest of the pod to give their thoughts on issues 12 and 13 of the short lived Star Marvel Comics without him.  It falls off the rails pretty quickly.  Sorry :)

In the 4th Kumite Character Tournament we decide who stands tall amongst those who only had one appearance in any form of MOTU/POP media.  Whether it's Filmation, Mini-Comics, Golden Books or even something as odd as an Italian magazine story only 16 qualified, 1 will be crowned champion!  

Most podcasts would do something grandiose for a monumental 300th episode.  Not us.  Joe and Tyler reflect on their beginnings with "BOzone", how Nathan came into the fold, movies Joe hasn't seen, Rebekah's thoughts from the listeners perspective and much more....and somehow not really. Enjoy the episode! 

*BONUS EPISODE* You knew we were gonna talk about it, even if it's down to just Joe and Nathan.  Here's the spoiler heavy review.  Questioning it all and giving our honest thoughts.  We say this all the time, but if you really dug part 2 of MOTU: Revelation, we're stoked for you, if you absolutely hated it, you know what? That's perfectly fine too.  Enjoy the show!

Unlike the last tier list there wasn't as much disagreement until it came to one character.  You all can probably figure out who.  Enjoy the show!

Joe is flying solo on this episode to interview Creative Director of Formo Toys Emiliano Santalucia to talk about the upcoming and highly anticipated "Lords of Power" toyline!

If you've ever wanted to listen to what it would be like to go out on a date with Joe Amato then this is the episode for you! 

Apologies for some of the audio lag between us, there's just some weeks when Skype and OBS don't like each other.  Does get better as the show goes on though. 

On Episode 296 the crew briefly discuss Ben Cooper Masters of the Universe Costumes before moving on to their own memories of Halloween's past.  Joe of course went out Trick or Treating this year and just like all the years before that we've known him we relentlessly give him hell for it.  We share our excitement for the upcoming Lords of Power toyline that was revealed earlier in the week and briefly give our thoughts on the trailer for Part 2 of Masters of the Universe: Revelation.  If you haven't checked out the video version of the show I recommend it for at least the first few minutes of the show so you can see our costumes! 

In Tyler's absence Rebekah enjoys a strong alcoholic beverage as Joe tries to lead this drunken band of misfits to a quality discussion about the underappreciated action figure line and character designs from The New Adventures of He-Man.  Did our inebriated eyes deceive us or did we catch a specter during the live broadcast? Nathan plays with his newly acquired Power Sword to see if it works as advertised.  I would say this is a loaded episode but it may have just been the two thirds of Fans of Power.  Enjoy!   

Taking a break from the usual ranking episode, the crew (sans Rebekah) decide to try out the tier list system to decide which vintage vehicles and mounts reign supreme.  Joe and Nathan have it out over the recently released Halloween Kills while Tyler gives us a list of monikers for himself to be used during the intro's going forward.  Will you agree with our list or have we finally lost our minds? Enjoy the show!
