April 13, 2016Episode 58 - Shazam!Inexplicable talking tigers, magic word-based transformations and horrible stock animation. Yes it's squinting lawsuit-magnet Captain Marvel. Or Shazam.

March 30, 2016Episode 56 - WACADAYTimmy Mallett deserves a punch and Michaela Strachan deserves better - it's WACADAY, the Wide Awake Club spin off that's just as awkward and uncomfortable to watch as it ever was.

March 16, 2016Episode 54 - Captain N: The Game MasterA cartoon that's useless as both entertainment and advertising, failing as it does to produce either a good story or a good representation of Nintendo characters or hardware.

March 09, 2016Episode 53 - Worzel GummidgePart awful horror movie, part awful bawdy comedy, Worzel Gummidge is just as bad and/or good as you remember.

February 24, 2016Episode 51 - BananamanThe Goodies add their voices to a fruit-based parody of Captain Marvel in the disappointing Bananaman. Bananas have long been a comedy staple, even though they're not very funny. Maybe it's because the idea of slipping on a banana skin actually comes from the substitution of bananas for dog mess. In that respect, the creators of Bananaman have really paid suitable homage...Do you have questions, comments or recommendations for future episodes?
