The Dream Zone, Brain Drain, and You’re in the Army Now

This won't even be worth watching. Hello, this

is Optimus Solo and welcome to the 97th chapter

in our Powers of Grayskull series. With me for

this journey, as he has been for the other 96

chapters, is TFG1 Mike. Hello. Hello. We're getting

closer and closer to episode 100, sir. Yep. We

are that and that's going to be a very special

episode because... That's gonna have some sort

of commentary in it. That's all we'll tease about

it at this point. Do you know why that's gonna

be a fun episode, Mike? One of the reasons. Because

it'll give us a brief reprieve from what we're

doing. Since it'll have nothing to do with the

new adventures of He -Man, it'll be like, oh,

we get to have fun for a week. Exactly. So in

this episode of Masters in Space, we'll be giving

you our thoughts on the next three episodes in

the series, which are episode 43, The Dream Zone,

episode 44, Brain Drain, and episode 45, Probably

sure, you're in the army now. So we hope you're

ready, because it's time, unfortunately, to go

back into space. The sad thing is, I think I'm

going to shock everybody today. Submitted for

your approval, the Dream Dimension. A landscape

of the mind, created from our deepest thoughts

and fantasies. A place where anything can happen,

and often does. Alright, first up today is episode

43, The Dream Zone, written by Michael Reeves,

and it aired sometime in the 90s. That's all

I'm gonna do from here on out, I don't care when

it aired. So, Mike, The Dream Zone, what did

you think of the overall story plot, etc.? It

only took them 42 episodes or 43 episodes to

actually get to an episode that I might have

actually enjoyed more than anything else in this

series. Wow, positive start to that. Yeah, yeah,

this is nuts. Like, this is bizarro world at

this point, because if I'm saying positive stuff

about this fucking show, oh. The world is about

to break. I mean me saying positive stuff about

the new adventures of he -man is about as shocking

as optima soul and I Agreeing on anything half

the time. Yes. Yeah exactly because that this

just does not work But no, I thought it was interesting.

I thought it was fun. I it's kind of a little

bit predictable, but that's not a bad thing cuz

like oh You know Skeletor and flog and the mutants

have this this dream machine thing and I've seen

this before where you know They did it in your

in your favorite show, which is 10. No last year

was the 10th anniversary They did this exact

same plot in 2007 2008 in Transformers animated

where they had the autobots go into a dream -like

state with their minds going in but their bodies

staying out and this this thing has been done

to death I mean this this this dream machine

dreams like this has been done so many times

in the last 30 40 years 50 60 years in cartoons

so you know the very first time I remember seeing

like a dream zone thing was a Bob Clampett Bugs

Bunny cartoon where bugs goes into Elmer's dream

and basically turns it into a nightmare for Elmer

Fudd. So it's not like it's anything to write

home about, but for this series, it's actually

really refreshing. I can't believe I'm saying

that, but... Yeah, I actually did enjoy this.

This is fun. Remember when you said that you

like in an episode of the series is almost as

rare as us agreeing on something. Mm -hmm. Yeah,

I can't agree Subconsciously reminded me of transformers

animated and the garbage that that was a little

bit better than going through this series, but

not by much But yeah, man, I just did not care

for this episode very much so, I mean we'll get

into some of the specifics but Maybe I'm not

just a big proponent of these dream -like episodes

that center around control and dreams and taking

over people's dreams. In general, what I liked

about it was we actually got to, I think we've

seen it before, but I think they've moved them

since then, but the inner council or whatever,

we actually get to see them. We don't really

get to see individual characters for them, but

we get to see the actual inner council, the shit

that Sebrian's been talking about since the beginning

of the series and yada yada yada. And the fact

that they're in a dream zone versus being in

the real world. It's kind of like in Filmation

He -Man. What the fuck is the secret of Grayskull?

Besides the fact of the power swords between

He -Man and She -R -Blake, but seriously. By

the power of Grayskull, I have the power. Well,

where the hell does the power come from? What

is the secret of Grayskull? We never actually

ever found out. So this kind of reminds me of

that, where it's like, hey, this is where these

people are that help Primus be the way it's supposed

to be and not be a cesspool like Denebria. I

get that, and I also enjoyed the focus on the

Galactic Guardians as kind of a separate group

in this episode. And I did like the sorceress's

part that she plays in this episode as well.

I think, well, it got off to a bad start right

from the beginning for me a little bit because

it starts with a line, and I'll just quote it,

submitted for your approval as it's introducing

the story. And that was too much of a complete

ripoff of Are You Afraid of the Dark? So, as

well as probably other shows that have used that,

but I thought that was kind of cheesy. The first

thing I thought of was either Twilight Zone or

The Outer Limits, and I kind of liked it. I like

it in those settings. I don't like it when my

cartoon's trying to, unless it was like something

that was like a thing that does a lot. Yeah.

But it's just randomly doing it for this one

episode, which makes it feel weird. Wow, the

invention of the transporter. I mean, I guess

I know it likes to be kind of like Star Wars

and Star Trek at times in the series But there's

just kind of weird that they're showing like

the invention of it instead of just using it

as something that exists since in most science

fiction We don't have to go back and teach people

what a transporter is anymore It's like going

over Batman's origin like the 1700 time like

we all know what a transporter is by this point

in pop culture Etc, etc But man, my main problem

is just with a dream so you can just take over

dreams willy -nilly Um, we each control our own

dreams, but there was one giant dream Which I

didn't understand besides the fact that you fucking

can't control your dreams You can't control what

you dream. How can you control your dream mic?

Um, sometimes I can make choice Well, no. I can

try to be sitting in my bed being like, oh, I

hope I dream about this. And I can focus on it

real hard for a half hour. And I'm probably not

going to dream about it. I get that dreams sometimes

take pieces of your daily activities or what

you have going on in your mind or what you've

done or thought about or felt during the week

or during the day and insert that somewhat into

your dream. But you're not physically controlling

it. It's not yeah, it is subconscious, but you

do like when I like there are two very major

ones that I had when I was 15 or 16 and it was

about myself in this at the time dream girl that

i had we were actually together but we were in

this weird weird place but we had choices that

we could make in this weird weird place kind

of thing so within the dream i was controlling

what i was doing in the dream but i wasn't actually

controlling whether you know what i'm dreaming

about kind of a thing but it's just a dream that

happens so right i don't know if you have like

individual decisions within your framework but

you don't pick the setting and oh no Like how

can you and the biggest thing though? That's

like more of a minor problem for me my bigger

problem in this episode is I would have been

a little bit more fine with things if You know

this character was having this dream and then

this character over here was having a separate

dream And then this third character was having

a dream and like they were manipulating each

one independently Yeah, but the idea that then

they're all somehow included in like a big giant

dream, and they're interacting with each other's

dreams like that's just getting to a crazy level

at this point yeah they did something a little

strange here where they're like it's a dream

you have to think you know they basically combined

like you know uh... whatever nightmare on the

street part four the dream master or whatever

they combine that with uh... Peter Pan like because

they specifically say oh make good choices make

good choices because if you think good thoughts

good things will happen And then all these flowers

appeared instead of a monster, right? Something

like I could have seen it going down this route

where like you're having each one of the galactic

guardians He man etc etc that are all having

their individual dreams And then it kind of does

one of those things like we've seen in certain

series or even cartoons where you're There's

those situations where somebody has like some

type of spell or potion or curse or telekinetic

ability where they like make each person imagine

like their worst fear or like, you know, like

that type of thing. Like, you know, the arachnophobic

person also has been attacked by spiders and

this and that. And for sure, I remember seeing

that in like Star Trek The Next Generation, among

a lot of other places. So like I would have been

fine if they would have gone down that route.

But then for the fact that like all these characters

are shown up in each other's dreams, I'm like,

this is too much. Like this is just being convenient,

like created so it can be a convenient story

where they're all together in the same place.

Like so that's where I really had an issue with

it. But what are what are the things that you

like or dislike about it I just thought it was

fun I just thought it was something so different

and so separate from all the other boring stories

that we've gotten so far uh -huh that it was

just super super fun What about awards? Did you

have any highlights? The usual. Skeletor is always

going to be the winner for Power Swords. The

fact that he wasn't he the one that narrated

that for submitted for your approval like wasn't

that him doing that leave so I believe so like

yeah so that's one of the reasons why I forgave

that because like if one of the scientists was

doing that I'll be like writers what the hell

did you do do not give them those lines come

on now because it's Skeletor it's like That's

kind of cool. That's one of the main reasons

why this series is such a problem is because

there's very few characters that you can like

and enjoy in this manner. Like that's why Skeletor

is probably going to be a runaway for both of

us as far as power swords. Oh, yeah. Characters

that I can even think of that are usually like

nine times out of 10 are enjoyable are some of

the robots. I don't mind them. But like you're

saying, the scientists are garbage. Most of the

minions as far as both on the good and the bad

side are. It's just like some of them are average

at best maybe just slightly above average a couple

times, but that's about it Yeah, I did have a

sorceress power sword this time just cuz she

kind of saved the day I can't give I can't bring

myself to give her one she shows up like five

times in the series or whatever it is More than

I thought she was going to I thought yeah one

came you and then that was it But yeah, I'm assuming

you're gonna be a little bit higher on the episode

rating on this one than I am I'd probably two

out of five for me How high were you? a four

notice I said how high you are yeah two for me

a four for you that's uh that's what we get when

we go into the dream zone maybe I just don't

like anybody fucking with my dreams so let's

take a break and when we come back we'll change

from the subconscious to the brain itself and

we'll try to drain Mike's brain let's not and

say we didn't it wouldn't take long says you

Get ready for action -packed excitement as the

most powerful man in the universe comes to television

in a fantastic world of dragons and sorcery.

Join He -Man and the Masters of the Universe

right here, Monday through Friday. They'll be

coming your way soon. He -Man and the Masters

of the Universe. Up next is episode 44 the brain

drain written by Francis Moss and Ted Peterson

All right, so we're switching from dreams to

more specific brain Idea here with the plot.

We have a plot basically where Someone I believe

his name was Korak. Yeah comes into the story

and offers to help the help Skeletor flog and

etc by Creating a device that's going to increase

their brain power so instead of skeletor and

them having to be Frustrated with how dumb all

of his minions are the mutants etc that they're

going to increase their intelligence Which is

going to then help them combat he may and galactic

guardians etc. So what did you think of this

one? This is again one of the this is The brain

drain plot is is so I don't say overused, but

I've seen it so many times before And I predicted

exactly what was going to happen throughout this

entire episode. I'm like, yep, that's going to

happen, yep. Oh hey, look, there's this. I knew

everything that was going to happen with this.

Because as soon as you make the mutants smart,

or smarter than you, they're going to say the

hell with you and try to take over. And then

you're going to end up, you know. Making them

dumb again, so they can't and yada yada yada

I did think it was kind of cool showing the mutants

as actually being especially slush head Slush

heads a dumbass you'd normally most of the time,

but so showing him what's crazy to me is like

I get it that Flog and to a lesser extent Skeletor

I guess maybe to more of an extent Skeletor they

are the quote -unquote leaders of the mutants

But I'm surprised they didn't spray flog with

this because flog is pretty fucking dumb I mean,

Flog and Slushhead, kinda on the same level,

intellectually. Like, neither one of them...

I don't know. I think that's one of the main

problems of this entire series, overall, if I

was to critique the series in general, is they

have too many of the bad guys who are just brain

dead. I get that sometimes you're going to have

villains that are not as smart or whatever, whatever,

you know, it's going to be their Achilles heel

or their tragic flaw. But I would much prefer

a band of villains that instead they are not

succeeding because of, you know, maybe ego, maybe

pride, maybe, you know, they get tricked or they

something, you know, something of that nature.

Like even if you take the original He -Man series,

you had Eva Lin who was not dumb. Don't think

anybody could say that Evelyn Evelyn was dumb

So you had Skeletor and Evelyn for sure that

were smart? All right, and not that at times

they didn't do dumb things or whatever But they

generally you know were smart enough to come

up with strategies and things like that and there

was a number of other villains that were Not

necessarily completely brain -dead like I get

you get a couple of them like no one's gonna

say Beastman super smart or whatever But he wasn't

dumb to the level of slush head or something

like that. Yeah, or or if you think of like Know

you this will work for you because you're very

familiar with it But think of Beast Wars for

a second where you have like villains like tarantulas

and and all these other ones that are conniving

that are strategic that are You know thinking

like I need some semblance of intelligence with

my villains I can't have them all just be you

know knuckleheads and and in this series you

get that way too much So I get that it's a cool

thing to say. Hey We have a bunch of villains

that are really dumb, so we're going to make

them smart for an episode. But the problem is,

over the course of the series, they are all so

dumb so often. That's one thing I have. See,

the comparison to Beast Wars, and I don't know

if Steve Megatron will be listening to this,

so he might be throwing his rubber ducky at the

wall at this point. The comparison to Beast Wars

makes sense in certain, like the beginning. It's

like with... not inferno uh... terasaur or scorponok

like those guys those terasaur and scorponok

are like flog and slush head they're not as dumb

they're not as dumb as flog and slush head cause

flog and slush head really kinda like take the

dumbness award and run with it, but it's, yeah.

You mix that with like a dino bot or a tarantulas

or a, you know, all these different other characters

that have different motives that are on the fence

of whether they're going to be involved or not,

which we even got in the original He -Man where

we had characters that were somewhat working

on their own that weren't necessarily loyal to

Skeletor as much as they were loyal to their

own needs. You had some of that back and forth

or some of that more creativity. when you had

somebody that wasn't just a box of rocks, which

in this series, every single bad guy except for

Skeletor basically is a dumb box of rocks. And

Skeletor has to play his evilness down half the

time. Like, this is not full -on Skeletor evil.

Again, hashtag not my Skeletor. Even though I

love this Skeletor, but this is not like... I

get it. It's a different Skeletor. It's not Filmation

Skeletor. It's not 2002 Skeletor. I understand

that. However... At some point before this ends,

and I don't think it's ever gonna happen I want

him to just push flog aside and just take over

at the same time Skeletor's downfall as we'll

see either It's either in this episode of the

next one today His downfall is constantly wanting

to just go after he man right and like that's

that's his Achilles heel That's his you know

that's his wishbone in his foot or whatever you

want to call it kind of a thing and I don't know

like another thing I didn't like about the execution

here was that so they have this thing you know

they put all the mutants through this process

make them all intelligent and you can easily

just communicate that with the viewer by the

dialogue like you can easily have some dialogue

where all of a sudden they're sounding smarter

they're using bigger words they're not talking

with you know slurs or pauses or whatever like

we would get that they're smart but they like

have to go that extra mile and have them like

drawing on a chalkboard randomly and making little

squiggly lines like I Don't know if that's evidence

of them being smart drawing little squiggly lines

on a chalkboard So we could probably do without

those little aspects just have them talk smarter

and no more things Like I don't need it all sudden

to be like a school setting where they're answering

equations about physics and shit Especially by

drawing little squiggly lines instead of actual

numbers or letters or anything. Yeah The one

thing that I did appreciate about this episode,

not that it was a terrible episode. I mean, I

think it's an average episode. But one thing

that did elevate that kind of storyline that

you said, you know, we've gotten a lot of these

situations where people become smarter. Many

different cartoon series, especially action cartoons,

have done this. I like the fact that they had

the agent of this, the Korat character who approached

Skeletor first and then. clearly Skeletor and

Flock, etc. were not as welcoming or as appreciative

of what he brought them. So they kind of do him

wrong right away. And I like the fact that they

have Korak then go to He -Man or go to Adam.

I can't remember which version he's going to,

but he goes to them and says, hey, this is what

happened is happening. This is what I did. This

is why, you know, so it wasn't a situation where

they were going to go in unprepared for what

they were facing. I thought it was cool because

you usually don't see a side character like this

go and do stuff with both sides of the the coin

I guess the only in the 80s slash 90s the only

time I can actively remember is season 3 of transformers

when astro train Got fed up with Galvatron and

he went to Rodimus or that kind of like I remember

that specifically so about like a Completely

like someone that's not part of either faction

right you have like this one -off character or

maybe even a recurring character that is Approaching

both sides within the same episode like that's

a little more rare. I'm not saying it doesn't

happen We've seen it before but yeah, it's just

a nice little twist to it that it's not You didn't

go the the expected route where he man and those

guys are gonna go in and not you know underestimate

their necessarily because oh wow they're smart

now it's like well we've actually been told that

we know what's going on and we know what we have

to do to fix it so I thought that was an interesting

moment other things that you liked or disliked

about this one I just thought it was fun at first

yeah I thought it was fun I thought it was funny

again a lot of Skeletor's lines in this were

more hilarious because my last note was that

poor skeletor the guy just can't get a break

yes uh... yes the highs evil this he can't take

over because you know he wants to use for all

for all we can without really you know using

the guy you know letting him know that he's using

him kind of thing and it's just still for just

can't get a break in the series no absolutely

not any specific characters without free one

way or the other uh... really them in either

Like I said, other than Skeletor, not really.

Yeah. Let's see if we're closer, if we're closer

on this one than we were on the last one. Last

one I had a two and you had a four. Where are

you at on this one? On this one I am at a three

and a half. Okay, you've gone down to a three

and a half from a four I've gone up from a two

to a three So we're at a three and a three and

a half. I think you know, it's just maybe the

slightest margin above average Like it's average

to just barely above average in my opinion. So

it's not the worst episode. We've seen that's

for sure That's very true. All right, we're gonna

take another break and when we come back, we're

gonna see if Mike will join the army No, we're

gonna let Paulie Shore take care of that. Okay

This is just like your childhood, remember? Yeah,

yeah, you're right, you're right. That guy is

exactly like my dad. See? Come on. Wait a minute,

though! My childhood sucks! No, I can't do it,

man. I can't handle being yelled at by some muscle

-bound drill sergeant. No, man, I can't do it.

Get the hell off the truck! Oh, whoa. She can

drill me any time. On the double right now! Come

on, move it, move it! Hello, sweet pants. Get

down here! Get down! Rough stuff. And take those

glasses off! What do you think you want, some

beach or something? What's your name, private?

Bones car. We're reporting for duty, sir! I mean,

man, sergeant, whatever! You will address me

as drill sergeant. Don't! Yes, but you don't

need to yell cuz look I'm standing right here

I'm not yelling at your private girls sergeants

do not yell We simply speak in a voice loud enough

so everyone can hear that way we all learn from

each other's mistakes Okay, thanks for explaining

it from here on out your butt is mine PewDiePie,

right? Well, I don't know you but I don't even

like you and I make it my personal mission to

turn you into a soldier for the next eight weeks

I'll be all over your butt like white -o -rice!

Is that a promise? Give me 20. Want my wallet?

Drop and give me 20! Here, hold this. Last up

today is episode 45. It's you're in the army

now also by Francis Moss and Ted Peterson Obviously

we have a situation where we have some recruits

we have like a more of like an army setting and

we have a trial in which Adam is found guilty

and put in prison So we have a lot of things

working together as he's trying to find a way

out. They're trying to figure out who is the

mole that possibly leaked information or set

him up and uh... some other things so what do

you think about in you're in the army now i think

paul shorted and paul short movies are you know

meh at best but this was just bad interesting

the only thing that saves this episode from being

a zero is some of the Skeletor lines the rest

of it it was just bad like at first Like, in

the very beginning of it, when they're in the

courtroom, you don't, like, I didn't really notice

the fact that it was Adam sitting there at first,

like, the first five minutes of it. Did not really

notice it was Adam. They cut to Kaz, and I'm

like, wait, Kaz is on trial? Really? Seriously?

And then I realized, ah, shit, it's Adam. Dammit.

And this reminds me again of the filmation era

where Man -At -Arms and Tila would try to train

him kind of a thing and you specifically see

him trying to be trained in this and it just

like I get it he has to play it off and if by

the end I understand he doesn't want to play

it off you know when he's fighting Evan or Everett

or whatever his name is You know, and he wants

to do it as Adam, so he can prove to himself,

not necessarily everybody else, but himself that

he can actually do it without being he -man,

and I understand that. But this was just... Remember

when you said about I actually like this episode

I like the plot. I like the idea that we're gonna

get a see a little bit of the recruiting recruitment

process for the Guardians there Kind of their

little I did like that part, but the rest of

it I thought it was also cool because because

of the recruiting process we got to see each

one of the masters in a different like light

we got a little bit of a focus on each one one

at a time as they're kind of going through and

teaching them some stuff and I kind of like the

predicament that we have for Adam because he's

you know he's on trial he's in jail he can't

just turn into he -man and solve everything so

he has to find another way to do that so I always

like it when they find like a creative way to

make it so it's not just as easy to go hey I'm

he -man um and that type of thing I think It

does get a little convenient with how they get

to the point where he can become he man and do

this that and the other But um outside of that.

I didn't really have too many complaints about

it. I thought it was interesting enough plot

Yeah, there's not a lot of um, I mean there is

enough I think it was a good balance of action

and everything else too. So yeah, there was a

good balance, but the problem was like I don't

know. It's just like Having an adam on trial

episode really like yes it's great for adam and

his character i'd agree with that like yes absolutely

this is but i just feel that it could have been

told a different way is that what they basically

do is they start out with the trial and then

they go and go and go and go and then he man

or adam or whomever has to recounted to master

severing to catch him up uh... uh... yeah i don't

know Think it could have been better if there

was a little bit more set up at the beginning

like Spent a little bit more time on getting

there because it's not gonna be as dramatic of

of an episode when we just didn't Start off with

them already finding him guilty basically like

they they call two witnesses and then he's guilty

and we don't even have a Setup for a lot of that

like I wish I would have spent like ten minutes

of the episode setting that up and then or even

15 minutes And then having the dramatic, like,

cliffbreaker, the episode's half through, we're

going to go to commercial with, Adam's guilty,

and he's going to be in jail, and now he can't

be He -Man right away. And then spend the last

10 to 15 minutes figuring out how he's going

to solve that, unmask the traitor, so to speak,

and then kind of go from there. So I think it

could have been executed a little better, but

for the most part, I still somewhat enjoyed the

framework that they had set up. I can't do without

it. Anybody that stood out one way another good

bad Not really skeleton had a few good lines,

but not a note like I didn't laugh specifically

at Skeletor so gotcha Nobody this time around

so you're at like a one for this one pretty much.

Yep. All right. I'm at a three and a half so

we'll differ again on this one vice versa from

the first episode so but for me in the main part

i mean i was two three and three and a half on

these episodes so nothing spectacularly bad or

spectacularly good for me obviously you had One

episode at the beginning that you liked a little

bit, and then one episode at the end that you

didn't. So, a little bit different experience

for you. I was kind of flatlining this whole

time, so. So that does it for this episode. We'll

be right back after the break to close things

out and let you guys know what's coming next

So it's got to be good on the simplistic reviews

podcast. We talk movies We talk TV We talk hello

Julie, what the heck are you doing trying to

make our spot sound more exciting by adding explosions?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you could have got the

point across with sound effects. Not the real

thing Download the show on iTunes or if simplistic

reviews dot blog spot dot com. I'm sure your

insurance company will cover that No, they won't.

No, they probably won't I know what we're doing

today. Okay, Michael if we're going to tackle

this podcast thing We've got to do something

really special. It has to be cool daily in audio

form and undetectable by radar, something that

screams summer. I know, let's do a Phineas and

Ferb review podcast. We'll call it the Podcast

Organization Without a Quillacronym or Pauka

for short. What do you think? I think if we're

not careful, Candice is going to bust us. You

can find Pauka on the Geekcast, Radio Network,

iTunes, Blog Talk Radio and all of the other

methods you find podcasts. Okay, then carry on

we are back and this episode we were going to

plan on Revealing arch designs feedback that

she sent in she sent us a voicemail Due to both

my life and Kevin's life and everything we've

had going on personally outside of podcasting

We're going to delay that a week. So your your

feedback Rena will be in episode 98 Rather have

it in an even episode than an odd episode, wouldn't

you? So there's that. What else? What else do

we need to bring up before we, you know... Don't

need to bring up much else outside of... They

need to get their act together, get this live

-action movie done, get the She -Ra Netflix series

out so we can make this a never -ending journey.

No, this is not going to be the never -ending

story, part three. It's a song that never ends.

God, no. And just for anyone that's wondering,

if we eventually do cover the She -Ra Netflix

series, it will be under Tooncast. on that show,

not on this show, because we agreed six years

ago, 125 episodes, and that's it. That's all,

folks. That's all, folks. We're just going to

continue to trudge through this nonsense until

we can get to the 2000 series, and that's about

all there is as far as news. Yep, that's about

all there is. We'll catch you next time, folks.

I don't even have anything anymore. Oh, I got

it. I can give you the three episodes that are

coming out next. Oh, there was that. Yeah. So

next time, we're going to cover three more episodes.

Here's the titles of those. We got No Easy Way,

The Guns of Nordor. I swear to God, that's Lord

of the Rings. And oh, Lord, The Bride of Slushhead.

So. If anyone actually reads the descriptions,

whether in iTunes or wherever you get them, or

if you read the posts on the website, I usually

try my best to make a sentence out of whatever

episode titles are. Episode 98, which is the

next episode. This week, there is no easy way

to tell you that the guns of Nordor belong to

the Bride of Slushhead. That's that easy. I am

not looking forward to the Bride of Slushhead.

We'll see where Nordor is and if there's any

hobbits there. Yeah, let's hope not. By the power

and for the whatever the hell and hashtag not

my he -man and hashtag not my Skeletor, we're

gonna get out of here. The magic and the power

and the mystery. Oh no! It's too gruesome! Another

one of your cat mutant's stupid inventions? What

is it? A place for mutants to take their afternoon

naps?
