Super Nuclear Presents

Would you rather fight one horse-sized duck, or many duck-sized horses? These and other brain busters will be grappled with on this episode of Return to the Past, as our very tired hosts do whatever it takes to avoid recapping yet another clunker. At least this one has spooky Soviet experiments in it. Just in time for Stranger Things season 3.

This episode of Return to the Past carries a content warning for descriptions of gore/viscera at 44:30.

It's been over ninety episodes of this Lyoko crap. How about we pivot to Evangelion instead? That's hot and trendy again, right? And, really, is there anything more fun than listening to young white people share their brave yet controversial opinions about anime? Join us for ten minutes of that, followed by a long groan of an episode of a far inferior thing that isn't even a real anime.

Also featured: Ben pokes gentle fun at his goofball of a stepfather and makes lascivious comments about cartoon characters again, David tells the surprising but true story of the time some jackass filed a complaint with his employer because of a disagreement about Rick and Morty, and Mary laughs for 40 seconds straight at a dancing Ukranian man.

Also, we'll need your help for two upcoming projects! We'd like to assemble a "clip show" of show moments for Echoes, and a collection of listener messages (written or recorded, your choice) for our final season break/postmortem. If you would like to contribute to either, please let us know at [email protected] !

This Code Lyoko episode carries a content warning for jokes about and imagery reminiscent of suicide. This episode of Return to the Past carries a content warning for discussion of this scene starting at 1:22:00.

In this episode, we decided to cover a dying industry, kept barely alive by a small handful of unattractive white men who fear competent women and throw a tantrum whenever they see a brown person. Unfortunately, our episode on the Republican party wasn't finished on time, so instead, let's talk about comic books! Excelsior!

That's right: Code Lyoko once had a comic book series, canceled after three issues when it became apparent that nobody gave a sh*t. EXCEPT FOR US! Join us as we discuss bee golems, quote-unquote "groupies", the latest in jock lingo, and more four-color funnybook hilarity!

We continue or coverage of Code Lyoko as it squeezes out its last few squeaky, underwhelming farts. This week, twenty-one minutes and thirty seconds of nothing in particular followed by one of the biggest revelations in the show's history. And by 'biggest revelations' we mean 'A thing that definitely happened.'

Also: Mary, David, and Ben investigate whatever happened to the Numa Numa Guy (spoiler: nothing much), Ben and David make Futurama references that confuse and delight Mary, and and Ben betrays his people by exhibiting knowledge of sports.

In 'Music to Soothe the Savage Beast,' there is no savage beast unless you count Sissi and William, and music certainly does not soothe them. But, despite its woefully inaccurate title, this used to be David's favorite episode of Code Lyoko! Does it hold up? Let's find out!

Join us as we geek out over Aerosmooth, make fun of a man's name like so many common middle school bullies, and surf on these vibes to a brave new world OH GOD WE'RE SORRY we feel awful just typing that.

In this episode, we meet Jeremie's cousin Patrick, who is pale and broody and has a caramel pompadour. Uh-oh! Does he also sparkle in the sunlight and watch girls in their sleep??? (You groan, but that joke would've killed in 2007.)

Join Mary, David, Ben, and very special guest Dianna as they reheat this and many other Dubya-era knee-slappers. (And, indeed, as a spam email sends Ben face-first into a creepypasta.)

Note that this episode is so soapy, we half-expected an eyepatch-wearing evil twin to turn up at the end. It's so soapy, it damn near disinfected our bathrooms.

Ground control to Major Tom, someone set us up the bomb! This episode was scheduled to come out on Monday, but due to an act of sabotage by internet gremlins, it's coming at you today instead. Sorry!

But yes, it's true - like other classic TV characters before them, including but not limited to Josie and the Pussycats and Fonzie, the Lyoko Warriors are taking a trip to space. In addition, we finally reveal Ben's cat's full name (which we didn't really know was a mystery but damn if it didn't just get solved), David travels back in time to ride dinosaurs with Jesus, and Mary laughs at Jean-Pierre in a penguin costume.

Some people like Code Lyoko. Others like robot dog buttholes. Once in a generation, something magical happens that brings these two warring tribes together. That thing is this episode.

Alas, it's not all sunshine and rainbows, as this episode also marks the last appearance of Ben's favorite character, Johnny (don't worry, we've prepared a fitting send-off). There's also some racism, helpfully inserted by the English translation, perhaps in order to make the episode more relatable to Americans.

Welcome to another rip-roaring episode of this BS. Today, we're going to talk about Brynja, the character that made the (admittedly pretty meager, but plenty enthusiastic) Code Lyoko fandom sh*t their collective britches back in ye olden times. What exactly is she? A chaos demon? A parody of Mary Sues? Mary, David, Ben, and local cryptid Jess investigate, all whilst getting roped into another argument about whether D&D is for nerds or whether cool kids are also allowed to join in.

But wait, that's not all! We also discuss farts, Shakespeare, farts in Shakespeare, which of the Lyoko characters would vape, again (spoiler: it's William), and Australia's frightening animals and lovely listeners. Also, Ben, Jess, and Mary teach David how gays sit.

This episode of Code Lyoko and of RTTP contains a content warning for mentions of suicide in the beginning; in here it's around the 11 minute mark. There is also a mention of animal death at around 1:34:00.

Today on Return to the Past, David rattles off a long list of weird Scooby-Doo knockoffs that he found on Twitter. And not a moment too soon, because, if Mike the cat's constant distressed mewling is any indication, Ben's Xbox summons a ghost when it's powered on! Anyone know how we can contact Goober and the Ghost Chasers?

While we worry about that, you can enjoy this fresh new episode (as of twelve years ago) of Code Lyoko, wherein Jeremie is invited to a real missile launch by a French airman who looks and sounds like if Tom Cruise circa Top Gun had a baby with Elvis. It is a hoot and not to be missed.

This RTTP episode carries a content warning for a brief discussion of animal abuse at 34:00.
