By The Power

In an episode about shoes that are people we have questions! And as its 'By the Power' you're listening to you wont be surprised that a large number of them involve romantic relations with shoes. We do also discuss the actual cartoon that made its way with a dubbed version to the USA and 60+ other countries too, It must be good then right... RIGHT!? We had a lot of fun and tried not to tread over any old ground as we watched Shoe People episode 1 and 2 of series/season 1. Enjoy the pod.

The Moomins are a brilliantly weird hippo-ish looking family that star in some of the best cartoons available. This must be true as since 1959 there have been 14 entirely different programmes created in 8 countries. We watched 'Moomin' The 1990 Japanese made version and we didnt all love it.. However we did love wondering whats so special about the Moomins. And as usual the cartoon is an excuse to talk nonsense and have some fun. This week we watched 'Moomins' S01E60 'The Terrible Little My'.

Thunder Thunder Thunder Thundercats. We make it through an entire episode without any pussy euphemisms* and we watched episode 1 which has naked Thundercats! AND Cheetara. This classic is Stu's choice and it receives the highest score of any cartoon we have reviewed, take a listen to find out why we enjoyed it so much. We have the latest round of our quote quiz, can James continue his come back? will Kane get another point..ever? This week we watched Thundercats season 1 episode 1...

Time for a break from the oldies by looking at a more modern cartoon than many we have talked about, which is unsurprising as its chosen by Baby Kane. Its also another chance to get in the Christmas mood as the Episode we watched was 'Yes Mikey, Santa does shave'...

Before Jurassic Park there was Dino Riders, Men taming beasts to serve as their personal vehicles... But with LASERS! Lots of LASERS! and Chaps (the ones you wear) and some casual stereotypes. Jamie chooses a cartoon of which he has very fond memories, but he may be alone with that opinion. We ride along with him and and take another stab at a 'whose line was it anyway', then break for a would you rather and close with a James CLASSIC joke...

As Oprah famously said "You get the power, you get the power, everybody gets the power". In this Bonus episode we talk in depth about 'Masters of the Universe: Revelations' its huge power up, the exciting action, deaths and twists in part 2. So if ...

Gotta catch em all! then make them fight each other for sport! Pokemon!! James worries about Pokemon well being this week in what is a surprisingly christmassy episode. Listen to find out if Stu can hold on to his lead in Jamies quiz 'whose line was it anyway?', stay until the end to hear if James can finally get a full joke out uncut, and learn what the squad would do with millions of pounds...

Bucky! Captain Bucky O'Hare! It's time for one more anthropomorphic cartoon starring a Rabbit, Cat, Baboon, Duck, Gator and Toads lots of Toads! We see if Stu can keep his lead in Jamies fantastic quiz 'whose line was it anyway?'. Jamie shares some pun filled jokes as we discuss a cartoon that also loves its puns and is heavily influenced by all of the sci fi that came before it...

Ox Tales.. WooHoo, its a real Ox blur this week as Ollie and his alliterative (according to Jamie) animal pals make the Power squad wonder what on earth is going on. Exploding Elephants, angry Alligators, hungry Hippos?? and mad Moles do not do it for all of the team this week...
