Back In The Day Show

So with all the hype of the recent G. I. Joe live-action movie (boo) and because it’s been a while since we’ve inducted another character into our G. I. Joe Hall of Fame, we decided to devote an entire episode to the G. I. Joe franchise in all its forms. First we talk about the toys–the action figures and the ridiculous vehicles–and the intricacies of our time spent playing with them. Next we discuss our fond memories of the cartoons as well as the many lessons we learned (and some we didn’t) from the signature G. I. Joe public service announcements. We remember the G. I. Joe Comics and how they contrasted from the cartoons. For example, blood–the comics had it; the cartoons didn’t. And we also mention the movies: G. I. Joe: the Movie (1987) and the garbage that came out a couple months ago. We round out the show with a tiny, new segment that we like to call “Stump the Chad,” wherein we attempt to stump our resident Back to the Future expert, Chad, with a Back to the Future trivia question. Can we outwit him? Listen to this podcast and you’ll know… and knowing is half the battle. The other half is equal parts red and blue lasers. Yo Joe!
