Next week: Star Wars Holiday Special

Quick, aboard the Yamato… er, the Argo!

Earth has been utterly ruined by the alien Gamilon Empire. Now, it’s time for Earth to fight back, somehow using a WWII era battleship. Meanwhile, Michael appreciates some smaller details, Peter discusses the deliberate pace of the combat, and both hosts have the opening song stuck in their heads.

Also included: the brilliance of Leader Desslok, how crazy it must have been to see a show like this compared to Scooby-Doo, the 50-year-old cult of appreciation.

Star Wars Holiday Special will release January 1st

A movie featuring sex, drugs, and Rock ‘n’ Roll. In that order.

Next week: Star Blazers Grab Bag

Raven and Van’s final fight is basically the only fight worth watching in this show.

Prozen’s plans reach their completion as he unleashes the awesome power of the Deathsaurer. Meanwhile, Michael appreciates our heroes being chased by caterpillars, Peter admits a fondness for Irvine’s voice actor, and both hosts question why Prozen’s big reveal to Van needed to happen.

Also included: Zoid-style transportation, Michael complains about Game of Thrones, Prozen’s conspirators and their bad haircuts.

Star Blazers Grab Bag will release December 18th.

An even wilder take on the Zoids franchise.

Next week: Zoids: Chaotic Century Part 3

Hmm, there are icebergs approaching our capital city? Even if it weren’t unseasonably warm, that would be suspicious.

Now that a rival has been introduced, things start to pick up. Meanwhile, Michael gets tired of a bunch of incompetent assassins, Peter changes his opinion about the show (or perhaps more accurately, is interested enough to actually form one), and both hosts cement their opinions on whether or not Zoids are “alive.”

Also included: Raven’s perfect voice, the single strategies of both the Republic and the Empire, the re-re-appearances of Dr. D.

Zoids: Chaotic Century Part 3 will release December 4th

Another Gundam Build series? Alright, sure, I guess…

Next week: Zoids: Chaotic Century Part 2

What does one do with giant robotic animals? Use them to fight wars, of course!

A young man named Van finds a girl and a robot in a pair of pods, and sets off on a grand adventure, as a war looms on the horizon. Meanwhile, Michael is confused by the exact nature of the titular Zoids, Peter talks about the model kits, and both hosts are frustrated by a lack of direction.

Also included: speculation on what exactly “Zoid Eve” is, Zoids battle statistics, Anti-Van.

Zoids: Chaotic Century Part 2 will release on November 20th

We check in with an old friend to see what new challenges await her on the internet.

Next week: Zoids: Chaotic Century Part 1

A man saves a cat. Just like that screenwriting guide, but with some unexpected results.

An extraterrestrial object carries another villain towards Earth, and the Sailor Scouts are the only ones who can stop it. Meanwhile, Michael tries to justify having any regard for this movie, Peter laments the screeching voices of the villain’s minions, and both hosts conclude that the magic of Sailor Moon may be waning.

Also included: a terrifying forecast, Tuxedo Mask’s laziest entrance lines, the contractual obligations of unimportant Sailor Scouts.

Zoids: Chaotic Century Part 1 will release November 6th
