This week's special guest is Adam Toplass, a native Australian toy collector!

Toy collecting can be a very different experience depending on where you are on the planet. From line identity to availability to media tie-ins, there are tons of factors that play into regional supply and awareness. And there's no better way to delve into these differences than to talk to a fellow collector from far, far away!

Listen in as Dave and Adam discuss two very different – but also similar - collector lifestyles on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

The dynamite team of Dave, Beth V, Rad Ranger, and Chris DePetrillo reunite to look thirty years into the past!

1990 was a landmark year for pop culture, jam-packed with movies, songs, and toys that inspired a geenration! From Turtles to Tiny Toons, plenty of innovative entertainment was born that year.

As part of an annual tradition, Dave gathered some of the Needless Things Irregulars to reflect on the pop culture that made us who we are today. This week’s episode travels back to a time when things were far more awesome!

Listen in as Beth, Dave, Sean, and Chris discuss their favorite – and not-so-favorite – pop culture from 1990!

Part of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre films!

And also not-so-classic films like Glenn Danzig’s new feature, Verotika!

Ryan’s pick was supposed to happen back in April, but then the world fell apart. The good news is that with all due precautions the show is able to record Commentaries again. The bad news is that after experiencing the relentless barrage of crap that is Glenn Danzig’s Verotika the Commentary Team has lost all hope for humanity.

Listen in as Dave, Arian, and the Cadavers are subjected to – believe it or not – the absolute worst movie they’ve watched yet on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!

Your host Dave teams up with Dragon Con luminary Kristian Allen and Noel Wood from The Finest to look back at the formative years of Hasbro’s GI Joe: A Real American Hero toy line!

1986 was a huge year for the A Real American Hero line of GI Joes. So big, in fact, that it took the guys a full episode to give it the attention it deserves! From heavy hitters like the COBRA Viper and the Battle Android Trooper to experiments in neon like Sci-Fi, ’86 gave us a lot to love.

Plus, this week brings a HUGE announcement about a future Needless Things project!

Listen in as Dave, Noel, and Kristian dive deep into the Joes and COBRAs of 1986 on the newest episode of the Needless Things Podcast!
