80's High

S1E19 | Cartoon and Toys: Dino-Riders

Listen Later

It was the perfect triangle of awesome: people + riding dinosaurs + shooting lasers. With the power of our S.T.E.P. drive, we travel back to 1987 when the battle between the Valorians and Rulons first began, and when one of the most egregious - and awesome - examples of a cartoon series selling toys was born. Plus we venture into The Dinosaur Heresies, Bone Wars, Smithsonian gift shops, and the epic prehistoric "um, actually" of whether the brontosaurus ever existed. Get A.M.P.'d, you're a Dino-Rider now!
