About this Episode

TFG1Mike and TV's Mr. Neil break down episodes 10 through 12 of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3: "Tag Team Trouble," "Oh, Brother," and "Misadventure of Mighty Plumber." The hosts discuss the show's wrestling tropes, the logic of the frog suit, and plot holes regarding television sets in the Mushroom Kingdom. They also announce a schedule change for the podcast and request listener suggestions to fill potential gaps in their upcoming episode coverage. The episode concludes with a segment rating the three cartoons on a scale of zero to five hammers.

It is a legend no one will forget. Everyone thought

King Koopa had left the Mushroom Kingdom. And

then, his Doomship attacked. King Koopa was back.

With the greatest danger ever known, his Koopa

Kings. Using their new superpowers, the Super

Mario Brothers rescued Princess Toadstool and

beat back the evil Koopa family. Hello and welcome

to the latest episode of Pixels in the Animation.

I am one of your hosts, your turn, Mike, and

joining me in this epic journey right back to

the Mushroom Kingdom is TV's Mr. Nail. Oh, brother.

Yeah, I know, right? Honestly? That's probably

the best one out of the three honestly. Oh my

god. I mean honestly come on now it probably

is. It probably is but that's not saying much.

I know, I know. So a couple of things, a couple

of quick things. If people go over to geekcastradio

.com and you look at our main page, okay. You

scroll down right under the featured banner where

you see all the current sliding episodes. There's

the latest GCR episode featuring Marku42's Hooniverse

podcast. There's Altered Geek Live. There's Off

the Cuff, Episode 55. There's the ALS Ice Bucket

Challenge. There is the Thomas Crown Affair for

Amwire. Heavy is the head that wears the crown

when it comes to Starscream inside the pull bag

etc etc etc You'll see a schedule there below

that slider that says the geekly weekly content

schedule If you notice something on there off

the cuff and pixels in the animation now share

the same day Thursday So from now until the end

of the podcast Thursday will be the day that

we release the show because We had to move schedule

We had to move stuff around we had to Some shows

are on hiatus that are on this schedule some

aren't summer endings summer You know just kind

of there at this point And we had to do something

where we try not to have more than two different

podcasts per day So having To cast beyond even

though it's on hiatus at this point, but it's

coming back The pull bag and pixels in the animation

all on Wednesday Just kind of didn't make any

sense and I figured oh this will make sense Have

the general video game podcast and have us the

video game cartoon podcast on the same day that

way people can you know we can cross promote

between off the cuff and us and People can you

know pick and choose what they'd like to listen

to and we could make side remarks about them

playing Battletoads Oh, God, I need to bring

that up to them. Oh, man. Um, Wednesday Nights

is their live show on Google Hangout, so... Um,

but, uh... Another thing. I've been going over

the pixels in the animation schedule, and...

At this moment, on this date, August 22nd, 2014,

which is Neil's, like, I don't know, 27th, 28th

birthday, I'll go with that. On this date, August

22nd, 2014, there is not a full, complete series

collection for Donkey Kong Country. There are

a couple of single -disc DVDs that have a few

episodes here and there. I know we could always

torrent it, but... Honestly, if by the time we

get to Donkey Kong Country we can't find a legal

copy of it We're probably gonna need something

to fill those 13 podcast episodes so we can actually

hit the 100 episode mark that I had planned out

Neil and I behind the scenes have thrown out

a few suggestions to each other Making both of

us cringe at the same time. I got to find something

that I can fit in to 13 podcasts. So I know people

have asked in the past if we would ever do a

poll position or Pac -Man or Heaven forbid Battletoads,

but Battletoads wouldn't work because that was

only one season, right? Or was it only one episode?

I don't even remember honestly. It was only one

episode. If we wanted to, we could do like one

episode of this podcast where we just do like

failed pilots and do like... Yeah, we could do

that. Battletoads, Bubsy, and I'm sure I can

find a third. Yeah, we could do something like

that. So as much as I really am interested in

going back and looking and seeing how awful or

mediocre Donkey Kong Country is, if by the time

we get to it in the schedule, we've got... Let

me see here. What do we have? We've got Donkey

Kong Country. see we've got Super Mario World

coming up after this we've got and then we've

got Sonic and I think Mega Man no we've got Super

Mario World Mega Man and then the no it's Super

Mario World Mega Man then Donkey Kong Country

if by episode 57 we can't find all of Donkey

Kong Country so we'd be able to watch the episodes

We're going to scrap that entire plan and come

up with something else. I honestly am kinda surprised

but not surprised that the entire series is not

on DVD. I mean, they put everything else out

on DVD. I don't know why they haven't done Donkey

Kong Country yet. Maybe it is that bad. It's

pretty bad. Is it worse than Super Show? That's

a toss -up. um... so yeah from episode fifty

seven to i think it's episodes seventy i think

that's what it is episode fifty seven to seventy

which is all of donkey kong country plus the

recap episode uh... so it's thirteen episodes

if you guys can email us suggestions feedback

at geekcastradio dot com use the uh... pita suggestion

uh... in the subject line uh... email us let

us know What you'd like to hear us cover it has

to be able to fit within 13 podcasts now That

could be us doing If it's a third if it's something

like Zelda that was 13 episodes and we just do

one cartoon episode per podcast Oh, well, it's

gonna be an awfully short show each time around

but uh... something that fits within thirteen

podcasts so again send this email feedback at

the cast radio dot com in the subject line put

pita suggestions uh... i know people have asked

us about pole position people asked us about

uh... uh... was there a cubert cartoon yeah i

was part of saturday supercai okay well maybe

we could do like saturday supercai or something

yeah If worse comes to worse, I'll see if we

can make Defenders of the Realm fit into that

13 podcasts thing. Trying to kill me. Oh please,

if Super Show didn't kill us. Hell, by the end

of Super Show, we didn't want to do any of this

anymore after all, but at least Zelda was a shining

light in the darkness. So, so yeah, that's the

plan. We are now on Thursdays every other Thursday

and we are looking for suggestions to fit into

episode 57 to 70 of the podcast if we cannot

get Donkey Kong Country all in one place watched.

So there you go with the announcements. What

have you been up to and as of this recording

today is your birthday, sir. Happy birthday.

Thank you. Yes. I can tell you're so thrilled

about it. I've been out of town for various reasons

that I'm not going to go into. Right, right.

I don't know, just trying to keep up on top of

things. My comic has just run out of its buffer,

so the front page might be static for a while.

But not for too long, I don't think. apparently

since our little hiatus last week and the release

of this episode this week I went ahead and I

wasn't gonna do this but I went ahead and threw

your sketch of me up on Facebook and Google Plus

and everywhere else and everybody on Facebook

is like oh my buddy Chris Sunday on Facebook

is like oh my god you look like Gwildor I'm like

oh god no Oh god. Just give me a cosmic key.

Thank you very much. Alright, we're gonna get

into the three episodes today. Tag Team Travel,

Oh Brother, and Misadventure. See, I think that's

a... I don't think that's a mistitled episode,

but I think it should say Misadventures of Mighty

Plumber, because it just sounds better to me.

But we're gonna get into the episodes after this.

I'll be glad to hand over this money. A million

gold coins. Big responsibility. Ha ha ha ha ha

ha. Shh. You mustn't laugh at Toad. Without this

money we... First up today we have Tag Team Trouble.

Mario and Luigi enter a wrestling match so they

can get the prize money to Toad to make up for

the donation to the Mushroom Orphanage he believes

he lost. Feels like we've been down this road

before. I guess I shouldn't say this about a

cartoon character, but it is a cartoon and video

game character after all. I found it kind of

Silly that Toad is Is he I don't know about the

writer for this one because it's like he told

you know loses the gold coins even though the

mushroom orphanage actually got them and he sees

this thing that Koopa is carrying around and

Koopa throws it in the trash and We don't actually

see what it says on it I mean, well not not at

first not until Toad picks it up. He picks it

up He says whoop -de -doo a wrestling tournament

and then he stops for a half second actually

gets a thought in that mushroom brain of his

The first prize 1 million gold coins whoop -de

-doo. It's like oh my god, seriously 1 million

gold coins And he gave it all to that orphanage

that orphanage is gonna be like in the money

for quite some time Yeah, 1 million gold coins

is what he thought he lost and Then at the end

of all of the episode come to find out He didn't

lose it that they actually got it now because

he won because because they won the the wrestling

match They now have 2 million gold coins that

orphanage is Must be the Beverly Hills of the

Mushroom Kingdom either that or they just have

like a big inflation problem that They're like,

oh we just we just you know Made all our bills

for this month or it seemed like they just they

just squeaked by and in spite of the fact They

just made 1 million gold coins. Yeah. Yeah It's

a little silly The plot is This plot is the oldest

or at least one of the oldest in the book Where

you think you know one of the characters is screwed

up and fell asleep and somebody stole the money

and now he has to do some you know desperate

thing to get it back and This feels like it dates

all the way back to the Flintstones Literally,

I mean it it kind of does because I think there

was an episode of the Flintstones Where they

had to enter a wrestling contest of some sort

to make money I'm sure I'm sure That said I do

like the The in -ring performance at least I

mean this is something that they could adapt

nowadays into WWE slam city I don't know if this

was better or worse than scooby -doo and the

WrestleMania mystery I Saw that the other day.

I finally saw that the other day and wow at least

this was shorter I was so disappointed in that

because Vince McMahon was not the bad guy because

that would have been great. It was me Scooby.

It was me all along Yeah Yeah, I I don't know

I honestly don't know It's just one of those

things where and it's so funny because he gets

his cousins who are the but it's it's his version

of the bash brothers I guess or something like

that and it's like wow it honestly you know what

the saddest thing is you know they remind me

of the Dudley boys if only there was tables in

that ring that would be amazing This episode

was alright. I don't know. What did you think

overall of the plot? I cringe whenever there's

wrestling in a cartoon. For some reason, it's

the one sport that they can never seem to get

right. I mean, it's like, what were the rules

in this match? At one point, they were going

to declare the Sledge Brothers the winners and

then the Mario Brothers suddenly hop back in

the ring. I'm like... you know i'm pretty sure

even though wrestling is fake i'm pretty sure

that once you declare start to declare someone

the winter the winner you can't just like start

the the match over yeah i'm just kind of a all

-around kind of a hard episode to watch plus

it was a goddamn toad episode god damn it why

Why was this made? I'll say it's one of his better

ones. It's not a good episode by any stretch

of the imagination, but it's one of Toad's better

episodes, and he's had some pretty awful ones

in the past. A Christmas episode. Oh, don't remind

me. Santa! Alright, let's get to these super

leaves after this. The next time the princess

needs someone to deliver a million gold coins

to the mushroom orphanage, I'm on vacation! Alright,

so for some super leave moments, um, it's just

a silly old wrestling match. The princess apparently

is not into wrestling. I guess not. I've been

desperate in certain times in my life, but It's

strangely humorous to me to see toad this desperate

It's I don't know maybe I have you know some

sort of sick twisted mind, but it just like He's

gonna do anything he can to make this right now

if he would have just This is actually part of

my, um, pitui moments, but if you would have

just knocked on the damn door and asked them,

this whole episode would be solved in like five

minutes. Or, well, five seconds or less. Um,

burn baby burn is the new mega move. Oh, that,

that pretty much, uh, that's pretty much how

I feel. Burn baby burn. Burn the archives of

this show. I do, I do like the Koopas when Cheatsy

and, is it Cheatsy? Yeah, it's Cheatsy and Koopa

when they get thrown into the ring and they just

start, you know, bouncing off the ropes. I did

like that. I thought that was kind of cool. And

Toad at the end just, it's just laugh out cringe

-worthy hilariousness because he's like, oh geez

that entire even he kind of says that oh geez

it's almost like none of this had to happen and

it's true as far as the plot goes if he would

have just knocked on the damn door none of this

episode would have had to happen any other good

moments for you uh i have one where it's like

it's almost like a jaws of the revenge sort of

so bad it's funny sort of thing where chichi

said something to koopa like uh uh the mario

brothers are going to or no it was before the

mario brothers got involved it was like uh toad's

team tag team is gonna foil our our our scheme

of winning winning the prize money i'm like since

when is winning prize money a scheme because

it seemed like they they had a very honest sort

of uh scheme of like winning a tag team match

where like they weren't even like they weren't

even like plotting the cheat yet so i thought

that was kind of funny Yeah, and they do say

that Cheatsy has all these traps rigged around

the ring. While wrestling rings can be rigged,

and I've seen them rigged before, you know, I

don't think I've ever seen a wrestling ring except

like most recently if someone was under. the

ring and came up from underneath. I don't think

I've ever seen a trap door in the ring before.

I've watched a lot of WWF, WWE. I don't think

I've ever seen a trap door that goes under the

ring. I've seen people come down off the top

rope and if you're somebody like the Big Show

or Mark Henry, if you land right, you can crash

through the ring floor. Don't think I've ever

seen a trap door in a ring. I think they do have

trap doors, but it's usually like You use like

a smoke machine to hide it like in WCW When they

brought the ultimate warrior and he would like

appear and disappear in the ring and the way

he would do that is like they would Fill the

entire ring area with with smoke and then like

you would just come up through a trap door And

the only reason why that why anyone really knows

that is because the British Bulldog actually

landed on the trapdoor the wrong time and actually

Pretty much ended his career You know all is

you know all is the undertaker has to rely on

as the lights to go out and then you know, so

I wonder if that was a trapdoor for him or was

did because Usually when that happens with the

undertaker and the lights go out You usually

don't hear anything and then boom the lights

go up and he's there now you still like Tons

and tons of people snapping pictures I would

love to see like one of those pictures like of

like what happens when the light goes out because

you probably see like undertaker Crawling out

into the ring Yeah, couldn't be all right. We're

gonna get to ease in a moment I know that this

show has had writers and I know Like they didn't

spend hours upon end to figure out a 10 -minute

plot script. No, but like seriously Cheats he

tried to tell Koopa about toe cheats. He saw

toe any And Koopa wouldn't, like, they constantly

make Koopa to be the dumbest, like, I know in

the games he's not, you know, he's, you know,

obviously because it's a game you have to fight

him. He's a little bit more, more intelligent,

but they try to make him the dumbest character

in this cartoon. Um, and I mentioned earlier,

the other note I had was, hey Toad, just ring

the damn bell. And ask them where the money went

if they got it What are you good? Well During

the match, let's see Mario had a green mask and

Luigi had a red mask now be goddamn if there

were two two shots in a row where they got that

right because it was like At some points the

mask would be there and it was the same coloring

mistakes up the ass This is so hard to watch

Yeah, before the days of digital editing where

they were if they got something back that was

wrong They could just fix it in Photoshop or

something Yeah, this is all hand -drawn I believe

that's all hand -drawn hand -painted Mm -hmm

It's crazy anything else That's pretty much it

Alright, we are going to move on to the next

episode. This record's hot! Huh? There! Now it's

even hotter! That was my favorite record! Sir,

if you're right, for the time you busted my favorite

record - up next is oh brother I was really hoping

for a Hulk Hogan yeah I was really hoping for

a Hulk Hogan appearance in this episode when

Mario and Luigi get fed up with each other Luigi

soon finds himself having to save his brother

from Bowser and Ludwig the interesting thing

about these about this episode the next one is

both title cards use the pipeline map because

that's where both episodes usually end up because

they oh god they both have the same goddamn plot

with just a few twists yeah so they argue They

get fed up with each other they you know Luigi

leave or he yeah Luigi leaves Mario goes after

him they both don't bring their frog suits which

mommy princess told them to do Koopa uses eenie

meenie mo or eenie meenie miney mo to choose

who they're going to capture because kooky has

made this power shower To have it rain in the

Mushroom Kingdom in the last two weeks Okay Thoughts

Wow, you know For for as much trouble as the

Koopas have with the Mario Brothers Whenever

one of their plots is to capture the Mario Brothers.

They have they have very little problems succeeding

Like in this episode, it was just like well,

we need a plumber get one of the Mario brothers

and so They capture them. No problem. Put a mind

control helmet on Mario and he's like, it's a

me master Akupa Crazy all right, we're gonna

move on to super leave moments in a moment It

looks like my brilliant new invention, the Power

Shower, is a good for colossal success! I make

it rain on the surface of the Mushroom Kingdom!

Super leave moments there are several things

about this episode that I do enjoy and I thought

that was really cool Which makes it probably

the best episode of the day The arguing Mario's

I like as soon as he pulls his mustache and it

turns all wonky I'm like, okay, just put him

in a yellow and a purple suit and bam. There's

Wario right there It was a good running gag.

I'm like Yeah, maybe you should have done that

for the whole series that would have been actually

made it sort of funny You know especially goes.

Oh, I hate what he does that you know So apparently

eeny -meeny is how Koopa makes the biggest decisions

to take to koop nap people And he made it rhyme

to I do love Mario's robotic voice though when

he gets under the helmets i thought that was

really cool i know you've said it in the past

that you hate the frog suit in the game the cartoon

actually makes the frog suit look cool it still

sucks in the game but the cartoon actually does

make it look pretty cool is it's only useful

under water but even then it's so easy to get

that you really have for for more like more than

like half the level and then you're just back

to normal swimming and it's like huh that was

useless so yeah i don't like the frog suit at

the end of the episode they argue about what

they were arguing they argue about who started

the argument um it's a little funny what did

you have for anything for good stuff uh well

like like the other two i didn't think this was

uh a particularly good episode, I guess. The

only real note that I have here that kind of

made me laugh is just that Mario was chasing

Luigi around with a wrench and I just wrote down

here, it was Mario with the wrench and the drain

pipe. And that's not really a... comment on the

show I was just like well I can make it it's

a it's a clue reference yeah Yeah Mario! Say

no more Koopa Doopa Dad! Just watch me do my

nasty stuff! So for Patooies, cripes they are

rhyming like G1 Wheelie. At least they aren't

rapping though. At least they aren't rapping.

This goes again to what I said they're making

Koopa to be... It's like he's in a Muppet Babies

episode. Hate it when my tootsie wussies get

wet Okay, I know this is a kid's cartoon. I know

Koopa isn't gonna sit there and breathe fire

To destroy the Mario, but like I know he's not

gonna be what he is in the games But Jesus Christ

do they really have to kiddify him so much? And

why are all the gold coins just lying in wait

for Koopa to steal them in the pipe in in pipeland

And then the next episode we haven't even gotten

the next episode the same damn plot except it's

Changed a little bit with who has to steal the

I Think they're just being way too literal with

the game because the game you walk around and

there's coins everywhere Just lined up ready

for you to take them. All right, just like well,

that's that's what the coins Like I don't think

the super show was you in that literal No. No,

because Super Show was pretty much all based

in Mario 2, and you had to rip up vegetables

to find coins. Oh, God. It's like, oh God, that's

all Super Mario Bros. 2 is Mario Gardening. Oh.

Yes. That's better than that. What did you have

for negatives for this one? Oh, let's see the

frog suit. This is a surprise. Not only is it

bad the game, it just looks dumb. I hate the

way they drew the way they draw the frog suit

in this show. It's like Luigi shows up. He's

like he's like, OK, Koopa, you're done now. And

there's this idiot in a frog suit, like ready

to take on the Koopas. It's like, what are you

going to do? They totally ill -equipped. He's

got web feet on his legs. He's got he's like

postured like a frog so he looks like he just

looks like a complete dork and And the only time

it looks cool is when he's swimming. Yeah, even

then he looks like a frogger Only fully had a

part in the show where you had to cross a road

That's really all I had because this show this

episode is just I Can't really pin down pin it

down. It's just kind of a I Don't know if there's

just like no plot Yeah, it seems like it just

kind of rushes through the story. It feels like

This episode was written faster than the actual

episode goes Yeah, probably was Alright, we're

gonna move on to the last episode of the day

after this. the adventures of Mighty Plumber

after these messages. Gosh, Mario, do you think

Mighty Plumber will save the lady from the monster?

Count on it, Luigi. Our hero always gets his

clog. Alright, finally up today is the misadventure

of Mighty Plumber. Haven't we seen this guy before?

Or is it just me? He's a little bit like Bayou

Billy. He's also a little bit like a couple other

characters that may have popped up in the Super

Show. So Koopa brings TV hero mighty plumber

to life and tricks him into robbing the pipeline

treasury so basically take the last episode and

Just change just remove Mario Luigi arguing and

fighting remove kooky and There you can put in

muddy plumber and there you go this is the exact

same okay sure last episode it wasn't the pipeline

treasury it was just all the coins that are laying

around pipeline but it's pretty much the same

damn thing and then i had to both of these this

episode and the last episode i had to actually

pause on the title map because i couldn't i thought

it was water land because Whatever image they

have for pipeline Isn't how I remember pipeline

looking the pipeline map looking on the game.

I don't know but thoughts on the plot Plot It's

well, I I Guess it was kind of funny when they

were watching TV. Well, you know maybe this is

just the video game guy in me but like being

being a video game fan in the 21st century you

become hyper aware of stuff like like uh like

ntsc standards and i'm like so you're in a completely

foreign land and you brought a tv from home like

how how do you even know this is going to function

i know this is a kid's cartoon they're not even

thinking about that but i'm like i'm like is

this 50 it's like 50 megahertz or 60 is it gonna

like is the screen, you know, just Way too hard

about this and like I'm like, wait a minute slap

my face. I'm missing the episode because I'm

thinking about this shit That just shows how

uninteresting this show actually is I'm like

Okay, I guess it was kind of funny, you know,

just the the woman in the episode there They're

watching just screaming at the top of her lungs

It's like and now back to mighty plumber and

she's still screaming and that was that was like

maybe the most amusing thing in the show Yeah

Yeah, the I really have I have one super leaf

moment So I think I'm just gonna include that

here and it's just we're just gonna skip right

down to the petuis. But yeah, I mean I almost

wish for continuity's sake they would have had

the same woman that was in the time travel episode

back in Brooklyn as the woman on TV. Mighty Plum,

Super Mario Plumas, and I gotta get ready for

my party and everything. I wish they would have

had that woman. But yeah, the woman screaming.

I guess it's their commentary on how over the

top. 80s cartoons could kind of be sometimes,

or at least 80s television shows could be sometimes.

My one super leaf moment is I love, and I so

wanted to do, what Cheesy is doing with the wand.

I so wanted to do that with the Sears Wishbook

and the JCPenney Holiday Catalog when I was a

kid. I was like, yeah, I'll take one of those,

one of those, one of... Oh, look at the price

crap. I'm never getting any of this stuff. But

I love I love the idea of him using the wand

to bring what he and the rest of the Koopalings

think are toys to to Castle Koopa. I do love

that. Well, you can almost do that nowadays because

we have 3D printers. You can print out your own

toys. Very true, very true. Alright. Other than

that, I didn't find anything really good about

this one. Did you find anything good about it?

No. Alright, we're gonna get to the Patoos in

a moment. than a speedy plunger. More powerful

than a pipe wrench. Able to snag disgusting drain

clogs with a flick of the wrist. My hero! Mighty

plumber! That's it! I'll trick him into sending

the Mario - For petuis you kind of already mentioned

it, but my first note was how the fuck does a

real -world TV work in the Mushroom Kingdom?

Grime never put and grime never pays. Oh, there

are way too many plumber puns in this I mean,

I know it's a plumber based episode but like

they took the the puns and It's like Vince McMahon

wrote this episode. Seriously. It is so over

-the -top okay so they want the Mario and Luigi

want Mighty Plumber to be able to go back on

TV obviously and they basically threaten Cheatsy

if they don't do it they're gonna do something

to him or they're gonna tell his dad or something

or other I forget what exactly they said to him

but Cheatsy Goes ahead and does the wand on mighty

plumber mighty plumber shrinks the one the red

wand or pink one magic then moves off of mighty

plumber Doesn't touch the TV and the shrunken

mighty plumber just walks into the television

screen and is back on TV Wouldn't it have made

and they've done animation like this before they

did it with the White House in that other episode

where you know you see Mario with the ray picking

up the entire White House and you see the ray

back in the real world, putting it where it's

supposed to be. So yeah, that was a pretty bad

animation error on their part, just having Mighty

Plumber just jump into the TV. Welcome to 89...

Oh, I guess 90s animation. Yeah, sure. What didn't

you like about this one? Well, everything really,

but you know, Mighty Plumber was just... He's

just an idiot. I mean, they zap him out of the

TV. He's face to face with an evil dragon with

a split tongue living in a dingy castle and he

just trusts the first person he talks to. He's

like, well, I guess this Cooper fellow must be

a good guy, because he told me so. And so already

I'm like, well, I don't care about this guy,

because he's an idiot. And I went right back

and thinking about, is this TV NTSC or PAL? So

I just did not like this episode. Yeah, same

here. It's probably the worst one of the day,

honestly. it really really is so we're going

to take a quick break you're going to hear some

ads from some other gcrn friends and also partner

podcasts and we'll be back after this It's Decian,

the superhero webcomic. Decian's got superhero

antics and sexy girls. Read it now at Decian

.com. D -A -S -I -E -N .com. Now for a behind

-the -scenes look at Geekcast Radio Network's

newest show, Talking in Circles. So, Chuck, Greg,

what are you guys thinking for this week's show?

Well, Dan, how about we just talk about the things

that we've read or watched this week? We do reviews

like that every week, Chuck. How about a game

like Factor Fiction or The Power of Names? Those

are great and we're always coming up with new

ideas for games. And how about some top fives?

You know how I love my top fives. What about

tournament style brackets or sequel reboot and

destroy, who will win in a fight, taking too

far, crazy but true news or... Yes, it appears

we have lots of things to work on. Listen to

Talking in Circles. Taking timeless topics in

new directions. Every Tuesday on iTunes or GeekCastRadio

.com. The GeekCast Radio Network. Hey Dan, who's

the guy with the creepy voice? We close out the

show. We'll be ranking each on a scale of 0 to

5 hammers. Let's see here. Tag Team Trouble.

I'm gonna give it 2 out of 5 hammers. I found

it to be a really silly episode. And I did like

the wrestling stuff that was done in it. I thought

that was kinda cool. What about you? I guess

I'll give it. Kind of amusing in some spots Mm

-hmm. Oh brother, um Even though there's some

very very flawed logic And they make Koopa to

be a you know, the giant baby of the entire series

I do have more things about this episode that

I like than I do that I dislike So I'm gonna

give it a three out of five hammers. What about

you? I'm gonna give this a two as well just cuz

okay None of these episodes really good. Well,

in the grand scheme of things, are they going

to make a top ten list? Probably not, but like

I said, Old Brother is easily the best out of

the three here. In Misadventure of Muddy Plumber,

should we just say it together? Zero. Zero. If

I had to rank this by how many hammers I want

to throw at it, it would probably be 40. 40 hammers.

What do you get coming up? What's going on with

animation aficionados? Well, we got us. Oh my

god. Did we not release the sailor moon episode?

I think we have a sailor moon episode coming

up We just did an episode about So I'm gonna

have to look it up because we record these in

advance and I kind of forget which episodes go

up which is kind of silly. We just did Simpsons

Meet Family Guy, which is an episode of Family

Guy that has not yet aired, but there was a five

-minute preview of it which we watched and it

was kind of disappointing. We also did a Homestar

Runner episode, but I think I might have announced

that on the last episode. Yeah, we did. Yeah,

so we got a couple other things in the pipeline.

It's just that updates have been kind of slow

lately. You can also check out Neil and I doing

and then Neil and I are not going to be doing

the Koopa because we're gonna be talking about

do the Koopa One of those episodes was written

by Doug Booth and it might be the best episode

of the entire series And that's saying a lot

for his career, considering his track record

is not the best in animation. For now, I am Dave
