“I just am not going into it because I don’t know fully what I’m talking about.” -

Guys, this is kind of insane. You probably won’t believe me when I tell you this, but they actually spend a decent amount of this episode ACTUALLY DISCUSSING Ben 10. It’s been a long time coming, but they finally managed it… for about half of it anyway. There’s also plenty of discussion about things that have nothing to do with Ben 10. Things like food... chromosomes... stuff. And Sam gets a chance to indulge in his specialty subject. -

“I have standards, that’s what I’m saying. I have standards.” -

Don’t panic. Despite the sounds Joe’s wrist made at the start, his hand is still attached. Anyway, did you want to know everyone’s favourite Pixar films? Yes? Well, you’re in luck! No? Well now my feelings are hurt. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? Don’t worry, they still spend plenty of time arguing about fictional science in a children’s cartoon. (Hang around and you’ll learn the difference between pastiche and parody) -

"Damn, I wish I had money" -

Did you ever wonder what we think about Christchurch? Have you ever asked yourself, "Do these guys enjoys seeing the characters of Ben 10 be happy?" Have you ever wondered, "How on earth do these fellas keep track of how many days there are in each month?" Do you ever find yourself snapped back to reality by a thundering voice in your head asking, "Does New Zealand have any piers?" But most importantly, are you still kept up at night, tossing and turning in your bed, desperately wanting to know how Sam and Nat broke a window? All these questions (and maybe some more, I can't remember) will be answered on today's episode of The Ben 10 Podcast That Nobody Asked For. -

Hey look! Joe’s back! Just in time for your favourite podcasters to start discussing the finer points of animation (an artistic medium that, I will remind you once again, none of them have any experience in), as well as finding time to discuss the inspiration for Ben’s new roster of aliens. Between all this, James and Sam get super locked-in to a debate on the placement of Ghostfreak’s eye in Ben 10, awesome stuff. Also, James and Nat reminisce about The X-Files. -

“We love chomp.”

What do you get when you make a near seventy-minute Ben 10 fight sequence? You get Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens, which is (if we’re being honest) bit of a boring movie. Maybe you could settle a little bet for us. What’s less interesting, someone talking about the teachers at their old school, or someone describing a comedian telling an anecdote? Whatever the answer, would be nice if you could hear any of it properly, but SOMEONE had to go and not make sure the program was recording to the microphone.

Also, everyone receives a lil gift.

"Yeah, but I can't appreciate it because I'm mad at you."

Was devoting an episode to nine shorts worth it? Probably not! But this way our first season is a nice and even thirty episodes. Also, BIG episode today for fans of listening to people watch videos of dogs.

"I was just very like, disorientated, and upset, and embarrassed... that was that story."

Oh wow, the FIRST Ben 10 live-action movie. A perfect opportunity to talk about movies and TV shows that are not Ben 10, to discuss actors, to drop personal lore... basically anything BUT talk about Race Against Time. Don't worry, they get round to it eventually. Boy this film is charming. It's also not great.

"He's just so annoying! He's so irritating."

While they wait for Sam to arrive, James, Bailey, Izzy and Nat catch up on what they've learned about Ben 10 in the last month and-a-half since watching Secret of the Omnitrix. Most important; Izzy took the opportunity to catch up on the first three seasons she missed out on over the weekend. Stay tuned to learn who Waybig was based off, who is obsessed with Gears of War, and who delved a bit too deep into the lore of a nearly twenty-year-old children's show.
