Jason, Steve A and special guest Mark McManus join The Defenders of the Earth in their quest to defeat the Merciless Ming! We look at the DVD bumper movie compilation "The Story Begins", which comprises episodes 1, 2, 11, 4 and 5 of the series for some reason!

The theme tune sure is awesome! Is Zuffy the worst comic relief character since Bat-Mite? What are the back-stories of Flash Gordon, Mandrake The Magician, Lothar and The Phantom? Can Lothar cope with The Phantom having almost exactly the same skillset as him, but all done with the POWER of TEN TIGERS? Is Mandrake the most powerful character in the series? And what do you mean, Flash Gordon approaching?

Featuring OCTAN! Some sort of Ice Robot! Comic book heroes from the 1930s! MING THE MERCILESS! And Endama, Wizard of Weather!

Jason, Zoe and Steve A take on the RAINBOW BRITE movie - Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer! It's back to 1985 and the wonderful, colourful world of Rainbow Brite as she comes up against the villainous Spectra! (Not that Spectra. Or that one.)

Is this film as bad as it's 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes suggests? Are diamonds people too? Will Murky and Lurky get properly involved in the action? How does the physics of the Rainbow Brite universe actually work? (Only joking, we can't answer that one) And where can we go to get Spectra's look?

Join us for the TREMENDOUSLY exciting Rainbow Brite movie! It's fun for all the family!

Jason and special guest Simon Hart tackle THE BATTLE! OF! THE! PLANETS!!!! With Rage of the Robotoids and Strike at Spectra.

The Athletic Robotoids are up to no good! Comparing lip gloss notes and trying to work out what was cut out of each episode, Jason and Simon are inseparable on this podcast! They have been watching Battle of the Planets and warning against surprise attacks by alien galaxies from beyond space! Wherever that is! Jason's astronomer side curls up and dies repeatedly at the improbable planets! Will they be able to Strike at Spectra? And does the episode even depict a Strike at Spectra in any way?

Featuring Jason! Keyops! Princess! Tiny! Mark! Zoltar! And, drawn largely in crayon, 7-Zark-7!

Jason and Zoe take another trip to Rainbow Land and face The Mighty Monstromurk Menace!

Murky is back up to his tricks with unbreakable glassware and random kidnappings. With important lessons on how to survive river rapids, which Colour Kid is which and a giant personal avatar with matching moustache, this is a great opportunity to break out your giant water pistol!

Join Murky & Lurky, Rainbow Brite, the Colour Kids, the Star Sprites and on this thrilling adventure!

Jason and Christopher Marlow review the opening episodes of the Thundercats! (Which includes the one where they don't have any clothes!)

Featuring! Lion-O! Panthro! Cheetara! Tygra! Wily-Kit and Wily-Kat! And everybody's favourite, Snarf. We're growing up fast, because the Ever Living Source Of Evil is on his way - it's Mumm-Ra!!!

Jason and Zoe take another trip to Rainbow Land and face Peril In The Pits!

If you've been shot with the Gloom Gun this is a sure-fire way to fill your day with Rainbows! Rainbow Land has begun, but this was the very first Rainbow Brite cartoon.

Rainbow Brite wants to be noticed, Brian wants to wash the rainbows out of his clothes and Murky could do with some better help - but who's going to tell the loveable Lurky?

Join Rainbow Brite, the Colour Kids, the Star Sprites and... er... Brian on this thrilling adventure!

Jason and Steve A look at the G1 TF episode B.O.T., the Transformers Public Service Announcements and a retrospective on the show so far!

In B.O.T. some genius kids build a genius robot - B.O.T. - but sadly don't get B.O.T. to write the episode. Swindle swindles, Brawl brawls, Blast Off stays put and the other Comabticons fail to make an impression!

We also look back at some amazing Transformer Public Service Announcements and discuss the first two years of the Transformers cartoon as a whole. What were the highs and lows? Who were the best writers? And which of the writers has an awesome secret we looked up on their Wiki page?

Featuring DEFENSOR! BRUTICUS! A final bow-out for Ironhide and Gears! A total disregard for scale! Irresponsible children getting into trouble! Donald F Glut! And the spiralling slope leading us to THE TRANSFORMERS - THE MOVIE!

And the Bloopers at last!

Jason and Steve A look at the G1 Episodes of The Transformers - The Revenge of Bruticus and Maquerade!

In The Revenge of Bruticus we argue about whether Transformer episodes are better if you watch them 100 times on VHS, Jason explains how far you can see into space and we demand a BRUTICUS HATES YOU ALL greetings card.

In Masquerade, Megatron is building some kind of terrifying weapon... but who can possibly guess what kind it will be? Optimus Prime finds a good use for those giant foam hands you get at football stadiums and Mirage makes another appearance... or does he?

Featuring BRUTICUS! MENASOR! Some other combiner team we forgot was there! Sideswipe saving the Earth! The Insecticons on the rampage! Camouflage paint! And not the Constructicons!

Stuart Webb and Steven Alexander look at the G1 #Transformers episodes "Cosmic Rust" and "Starscream's Brigade!"

In Cosmic Rust, Perceptor faces his arch-enemy, The Stunticons give Megatron the brush-off and Stuart declares that we can no longer mock the science of the show!

In Starscream's Brigade, Jazz and Cliffjumper get in trouble with the Combaticons, Starscream has dark plans for Jazz and Cliffjumper, and Wheeljack invents the matter duplicator, winning the war and everything forever!

Featuring! Jazz and Cliffjumper! Brawl, Blast-off, Vortex, Swindle and Onslaught! Jazz and Cliffjumper! And Professor "Brian Cox" Perceptor!

Steve W, Jason and Steven A look at War Dawn and Trans-Europe Express from the original G1 1985 cartoon of The Transformers!

Who is this jolly Orion Pax from the Happy Days of Cybertron? Why are his lips so luscious? What is a Silverbolt gonna do in a Golden age?

Back on Earth, the race is on! The prize could be more than a mouldy orange, or maybe not? Will Megatron gain control of Earth's weather?

Featuring! Orion Pax! His girlfriend! His best mate! Augie Cahnay! Bumblebee! Bluestreak! And, once again, MENASOR!
