We welcome back Matthew Jay (The Deep End, Cartoons 101) for a millennial classic that's a tribute to anime, robots, video games, wrestling, comic books, and all the other pop culture we love! Yes, we head to New Jersey in 2004 for the lost Toonami series Megas XLR! We go deep in how the series came to be, its many inspirations, and the complex tax reason it may never get a second chance. Plus we dig into the show's pilot, so rev up your robot and listen now!
