43
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:38.039
He was a great guest.

00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.879
Yeah, yeah, we'll have We'll definitely have to have Chuck back.

45
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:46.400
I I did mention a certain film composer, uh to Chuck,

46
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:50.280
and he said he would absolutely be ready to return

47
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.639
and discuss that that gentleman's work. So we will, we'll

48

49
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:01.240
I gotta, I gotta call it. Jason Copy here one

50
00:03:01.240 --> 00:03:05.759
of our listeners who last year had given us some

51
00:03:05.759 --> 00:03:09.080
feedback on I believe it was the our nineteen eighty

52
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:14.639
six series episode for the Transformers, and this guy was like, Hey,

53
00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:18.520
what about what about Joe. Let's let's let's talk GI Joe.

54
00:03:19.400 --> 00:03:21.919
And it just so happened that last year was the

55
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.400
fortieth anniversary of the of the very first mini series

56
00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.840
GI Joe The Mass Device coming up on a year later,

57
00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:31.520

00:03:31.560 --> 00:03:35.560

59
00:03:35.599 --> 00:03:42.120

61
00:03:47.960 --> 00:03:51.479
Revenge of Cobra. So happy anniversary, Happy anniversary.

62
00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:55.639
Oh it makes me feel old, That's what I believe.

63
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.800
I have like this rat tattoo moment of just like

64
00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.039
zooming back into like Johnny's toys and like looking at

65
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:03.599
the isle of Joe Figures.

66
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:07.439
When the aisles were magnificent, it was like it was

67
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.800
like a work of art looking down those aisles.

68
00:04:09.840 --> 00:04:10.080
Man.

69
00:04:10.879 --> 00:04:12.759
Yeah, and then the day you'd walk in and the

70
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.599
new wave was up and all these Brandywaveries. We didn't

71
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.120
know what was coming up. Oh it was. That was fantastic. Yep.

72
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:20.360
I have to ask you, guys, did you guys have

73
00:04:20.480 --> 00:04:26.279
the same situation where it's like October November, you're in

74
00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:28.759
the you're in the store, and you're going down these

75
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.600
these aisles which were just heaven for guys like us,

76
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.720
and then your mom and dad like it, like they

77
00:04:35.759 --> 00:04:39.439
went they they transitioned from the we'll see put it back, well,

78
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:42.000
we'll see we went we went away from that to

79
00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.199
the well go ahead and look, uh and and you'll

80
00:04:47.240 --> 00:04:50.240
you'll let Sannah know, oh, because Christmas is coming up,

81
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:54.279
and like you basically spent your entire like you know,

82
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:57.839
Mom's doing her grocery shopping and you're just sitting in

83
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:01.680
this aisle just making your your your your checklist. Oh

84
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.279
yeah for Christmas? Right? Was that was that the same?

85
00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:06.000
Oh? Yeah, exactly the same.

86
00:05:07.240 --> 00:05:11.120
I distinctly remember being at Kmart with my mom a

87
00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:15.800
lot of times and seeing you know, the latest vehicle

88
00:05:15.959 --> 00:05:18.360
or maybe a couple of figures or whatever, and she

89
00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:21.199
would always scroll them away and lay away and we'd

90
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:23.480
have to go back to a regular basis.

91
00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:26.680
Yeah, I got most of my Joes and Christmas too,

92
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.079
But I do remember going there. We used to have

93
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.160
a store called Hex and Van Work, and I remember

94
00:05:31.160 --> 00:05:33.079
walking in there and the new wave was at the

95
00:05:33.079 --> 00:05:36.439
second wave and Mom actually said, yes, you can buy one.

96
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:42.920
I bought snow Job and you know it's it's weird too.

97
00:05:42.959 --> 00:05:44.639
I remember exactly how much it costs you.

98
00:05:44.720 --> 00:05:48.800
Ninety nine, Yeah, two dollars and nine cents. What's the

99
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:52.160
average action figure, Dave, I'm looking at you here, what's

100
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:54.839
the average action figure go for? And I'm not talking

101
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:57.639
about like the the hot toys, no, because I've seen

102
00:05:57.680 --> 00:05:59.879
I've seen you salivated these things at cons where they're

103
00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.519
like seven seven hundred dollars, but like your standard issue

104
00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:05.639
action figure, like.

105
00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:07.279
Like twenty five dollars, Now.

106
00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:09.000
No, are you kidding?

107
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:14.040
Like it? Yeah? For the Yeah, yeah, so that's outrageous.

108
00:06:14.079 --> 00:06:17.519
Although that's that that's for the Joe reissues, yeah, right,

109
00:06:18.480 --> 00:06:21.879
like on the like on the nostalgic cards and the

110
00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:24.160
nostalgic size and all this other kind of stuff.

111
00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.120
Well, they're doing a new like there are a lot

112
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:31.079
of these runs are doing retro lines now and I know,

113
00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:32.879
g I Joe did it to Transformers in it for

114
00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:35.399
a while and then right now Superpowers is doing it

115
00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:38.160
and they're they run between like ten to twenty bucks.

116
00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:43.839
Yeah yeah, Scott. You you have three sons, How how

117
00:06:43.879 --> 00:06:47.160
can you afford to keep a roof over their head

118
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:50.680
and supply them with the latest batch of Joe and

119
00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:53.480
Cobra figures at these prices. That's outrageous to me, man,

120
00:06:53.519 --> 00:06:54.639
I can't. I can't believe it.

121
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:55.399
I just can't.

122
00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.279
So nerds like me hang on to them and pass

123
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:02.120
them down. But as far as like the new stuff

124
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.879
on the aisles, there's a big difference between prices for

125
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:09.399
retro collectible kind of things and things that kids are

126
00:07:09.439 --> 00:07:12.040
actually going to play with. So you really like the

127
00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.759
lego kind of domain and things like that, where they're

128
00:07:14.759 --> 00:07:17.199
at playable prices, not magers.

129
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:20.040
You don't have to worry about that though, because I mean,

130
00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.480
there's nothing in the toy istles anymore. You can't find yours,

131
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:25.360
you know, you save it a lot of money just

132
00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:26.240
by not finding it.

133
00:07:27.839 --> 00:07:28.439
That's true.

134
00:07:29.079 --> 00:07:32.040
Well, let's talk about where we where we found the

135
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:37.439
Revenge of Cobra because I own the entire collection on

136
00:07:37.439 --> 00:07:42.399
on DVD. Met okay, Scott, you're not shaking. You're not

137
00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:45.120
giving us a yojoe on on owning everything.

138
00:07:46.199 --> 00:07:48.839
It's a no go. I saw this on the official

139
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:50.720
G I Joe channel on YouTube?

140
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.319
What do you mean the official GJO channel?

141
00:07:54.439 --> 00:07:56.639
When I when I when I looked it up on YouTube,

142
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.800
there's it looks like there's a channel dedicated to G

143
00:07:59.920 --> 00:08:02.680
I Joe cartoons, which I ask, Oh, that's fantastic. Hopefully

144
00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:04.759
hopefully they're not. You know, so this wasn't like.

145
00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:08.040
Someone was This wasn't like someone was like videotaping their

146
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.399
television and you're watching like a rummy bootleg.

147
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:12.759
No, it's pretty that's pretty crisp. But it has all

148
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.279
the commercial breaks where it does the you know, logo

149
00:08:15.480 --> 00:08:17.199
now back to G I Joe and a lot of

150
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:17.839
the kind of stuff.

151
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:19.600
Oh that's fantastic, all right.

152
00:08:19.639 --> 00:08:23.399
Good. I felt it odd too that, you know, uh

153
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.199
to B TV has all the episodes, but they don't

154
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.079
have the mini series, and I thought that was really odd.

155
00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:29.319
I had to go to YouTube to find it.

156
00:08:30.160 --> 00:08:33.200
Here's the thing about to be because we know we

157
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.000
love to be on this on this show, we always

158
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:39.240
are shouting out to be for the longest time. They

159
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:42.759
had the first and second mini series, and then they

160
00:08:42.799 --> 00:08:45.360
didn't have the cartoon. Then they had the cartoons, but

161
00:08:45.399 --> 00:08:47.960
they didn't have the mini series, and then recently, Wayne,

162
00:08:47.960 --> 00:08:51.159
you're correct, they've got the mass Device and they've got

163
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.960
seasons one and two of the G I. Joe cartoon,

164
00:08:55.080 --> 00:08:57.480
but they don't have the Revenge of Cobra. So my

165
00:08:57.559 --> 00:08:59.840
only guess is that, you know, again, it's the fortieth

166
00:08:59.879 --> 00:09:03.559
in aniversary, so maybe maybe there's something going on, you know,

167
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.960
with with Hasbro, or maybe they're doing something could bay,

168
00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:10.879
I don't know. For those of us that need a

169
00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:15.080
need a reminder, you know, before we we tune into

170
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:19.000
the official YouTube channel or dust off our DVDs, can

171
00:09:19.080 --> 00:09:21.639
you let us know give us a quick breakdown of

172
00:09:21.679 --> 00:09:23.519
what the Revenge of Cobra is all about.

173
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:28.960
G I.

174
00:09:29.039 --> 00:09:31.679
Joe is transporting a laser core, which turns out to

175
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.960
be the final piece. Destro and Cobra needs to complete

176
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:38.519
their Weather Dominator, a device that controls the weather around

177
00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.720
the world. After the loss of the core, g I

178
00:09:41.799 --> 00:09:44.600
Joe battles Cobra again and manages to explode the weather

179
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:47.159
Dominator into three pieces that scattered.

180
00:09:46.759 --> 00:09:47.559
Around the world.

181
00:09:47.840 --> 00:09:50.279
It becomes a race for both sides to track down

182
00:09:50.519 --> 00:09:53.919
and capture these pieces before the other. Cobra wants to

183
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.679
rule the world and g I Joe is doing everything

184
00:09:56.720 --> 00:09:59.679
it can to stop them. In this five part mini series,

185
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:01.879
Revenge of Cobra.

186
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:06.519
Wayne, it sounds very reminiscent of the Mass Device.

187
00:10:07.240 --> 00:10:11.559
Yes it does. It follows almost identical storylines.

188
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:13.879
Beat for beat, Right, we got yep, we got a

189
00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:17.320
mcguffin that's gonna determine who rules the world, and it's

190
00:10:17.320 --> 00:10:19.279
going to explode into three parts, and then we're gonna

191
00:10:19.320 --> 00:10:20.559
have to break up into teams and.

192
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:22.320
Different parts of the world.

193
00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.879
Yes and yeah, different parts of the world. Yeah. And

194
00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:26.879
I love the I love some of the parts of

195
00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.840
the world that we're going to in these mini series.

196
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.919
We'll probably get into that a little bit later. Want

197
00:10:31.919 --> 00:10:36.720
to point out, Scott, we were talking off Mike and

198
00:10:36.759 --> 00:10:39.480
you had the question, like, did this just all drop

199
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.039
on one night? Was this Saturday morning?

200
00:10:42.159 --> 00:10:42.399
Was this?

201
00:10:43.159 --> 00:10:47.320
What was this? It turns out this was released over

202
00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:51.320
a five day period from September tenth to the fourteenth

203
00:10:51.879 --> 00:10:54.240
in nineteen eighty four, So they were doing like a

204
00:10:54.960 --> 00:10:57.320
daily like you know you mentioned, Scott, you mentioned last

205
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:59.519
last year when we talked about the Mass Device, these

206
00:10:59.559 --> 00:11:04.480
great lift hanger endings they were doing. So yeah, uh

207
00:11:04.600 --> 00:11:08.120
in eighty four we were watching this uh yeah, one

208
00:11:08.120 --> 00:11:10.399
episode a night and then you had to remember to

209
00:11:10.399 --> 00:11:10.840
tune in.

210
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:14.720
That sounds like Wayne, amazing block Wayne you.

211
00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:16.559
You I mean? I remember you had a vivid memory

212
00:11:16.879 --> 00:11:19.159
about the Mass Device. Is it the same for uh?

213
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:23.080
I remember this. I remember this. I lived in northern

214
00:11:23.080 --> 00:11:27.360
Ohio and uh, in the mornings around seven thirty eight o'clock,

215
00:11:27.360 --> 00:11:29.879
there'd be a show called Froggies Pad that would chow

216
00:11:29.879 --> 00:11:33.240
cartoons and had a little puppet frog and it would

217
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:35.320
always talk like, hey, how are you doing? You know?

218
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.440
But and that's how you saw it. Of course, I

219
00:11:39.480 --> 00:11:41.720
had to go to school before the thing was over

220
00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:43.799
with some mom always had to tape these and I

221
00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:48.000
remember very clearly Monday through Friday watching the episodes, and

222
00:11:48.080 --> 00:11:51.039
then I also remember that the following week, like that,

223
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.039
the next Monday is when Transformers started the first episode

224
00:11:55.080 --> 00:11:57.320
of that series, and that you have just continued recording

225
00:11:57.320 --> 00:11:57.639
after that.

226
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.639
So did these drop in that kind of after school

227
00:12:02.679 --> 00:12:06.039
slot around like four o'clock, four thirty when you came

228
00:12:06.039 --> 00:12:07.000
home or was it evening?

229
00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:10.039
No, it was in the morning. It was before school morning. Yeah,

230
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.960
it was like seven thirty. The show aired from like

231
00:12:11.960 --> 00:12:14.200
seven thirty to nine o'clock. They played like three cartoons,

232
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.399
but it was in that block and then I had

233
00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:19.879
to watch it off of a videotape. Interesting, yeah, but

234
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:21.840
I think that was up to the channel. The channel

235
00:12:21.879 --> 00:12:24.200
could play it any anytime. They just chose to play

236
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:25.480
it during Froggy's Pad.

237
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:27.879
For some reason. I remember a lot of these dropping

238
00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:31.519
in the afternoon and having to, you know, run home

239
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:34.000
from school to catch the cartoons. I might be thinking

240
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:34.960
at different ones, but.

241
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.240
No, I think you're right. We talked about this. We

242
00:12:38.279 --> 00:12:40.919
talked about this with the mass device where it was

243
00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.200
all it was all to the affiliates because we all

244
00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:47.240
grew up in different parts of Ohio, and you know,

245
00:12:47.279 --> 00:12:48.960
we talked about how some of us were watching this

246
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:51.200
on Saturday morning, some of us were watching it before

247
00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:53.919
school in the morning, and some of us were watching

248
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:54.600
it after school.

249
00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:59.360
And then the next year, following year, it's when the

250
00:12:59.360 --> 00:13:01.840
third mini series came out. They moved it in my

251
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:04.360
area to after school and it aired. I think it

252
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:06.600
was four o'clock. It was either four four thirty.

253
00:13:08.000 --> 00:13:10.000
I remember a mixed bag. I remember some of these

254
00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.200
watching in the morning before school, and then some of

255
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:15.320
them I watched after school, like I can remember like

256
00:13:15.399 --> 00:13:17.960
ThunderCats before school, but then sometimes I watched thunder Cats

257
00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.679
after school. I don't remember exactly, but it seems like

258
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.399
they were at both times.

259
00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:24.399
Well, and I feel like prime time to show them

260
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:27.639
would have been afternoons because the kid is gonna maybe

261
00:13:27.679 --> 00:13:29.919
think about what they watched in the morning through school,

262
00:13:30.159 --> 00:13:33.720
but right after school waiting for you know, parents to

263
00:13:33.759 --> 00:13:35.840
get home, that's when you ask them to drive you

264
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:36.879
to whatever store.

265
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.159
Yeah, you're right, Scott too. And I think they realized that,

266
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:43.720
and that's why all the the higher profile cartoons like

267
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:47.279
these and like Gym and you know Heman, we're all

268
00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.440
moved to the afternoon. I also remember that they used

269
00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:54.159
to play g I. Joe and Transformers on The Bozo Show.

270
00:13:54.200 --> 00:13:55.919
I don't know if you guys had that in your area.

271
00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:57.679
That was like a national thing, but they used to

272
00:13:57.679 --> 00:14:01.120
play it on there as well and that was in

273
00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:01.840
the mornings.

274
00:14:02.279 --> 00:14:06.360
Yeah, a couple couple names to uh to a call

275
00:14:06.480 --> 00:14:11.000
here uh. This mini series once again written by Ron Friedman.

276
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:17.000
As a reminder, Ron Friedman gets the job because he

277
00:14:17.759 --> 00:14:22.759
is not a cartoon television writer. He is a television writer.

278
00:14:23.840 --> 00:14:28.080
And during his interview he's he's actually, he's, uh, there's

279
00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:30.080
some good behind the scenes stuff if you if you

280
00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.960
have the physical media, where he's like, hey, I wrote television.

281
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:37.960
I didn't write cartoons, and I got the job because

282
00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.320
I wrote the card. Yeah, he wrote the roll, he

283
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:42.480
wrote the bulk of the series. Then he went, he went.

284
00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.320
He wrote a lot, but he wrote a lot on

285
00:14:44.799 --> 00:14:47.600
like dozens and dozens of other TV shows from the

286
00:14:47.759 --> 00:14:51.159
sixties and seventies. I see his name pop up all

287
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.240
the time if you're watching classic TV. I remember seeing

288
00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.320
his name on like Bewitched and All in the Family

289
00:14:56.519 --> 00:14:58.600
and Dukes of Hazzard and all those shows like that.

290
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.559
Yeah, this is the guy who was giving a little

291
00:15:03.559 --> 00:15:06.679
bit of a personality to some of the Joe's especially

292
00:15:06.679 --> 00:15:09.879
with the voice acting like he he uh. There's a

293
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:12.399
great interview with him where he's talking about first time

294
00:15:12.440 --> 00:15:15.679
he looked at shipwreck and he saw Jack Nicholson, so

295
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:19.440
he he said, hey, he's got a sound like Jack Nicholson,

296
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.519
you know, yeah, And I looked at I thought about

297
00:15:23.519 --> 00:15:27.120
that for a seconds, like holy wow, Yeah, Shipwreck. Yeah,

298
00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:30.960
it is speaking like Jack Nicholson. That's that's amazing. Scott

299
00:15:31.159 --> 00:15:34.200
another guy behind the scenes, I know you love him.

300
00:15:35.200 --> 00:15:37.320
H credited with a lot of the design work on

301
00:15:37.360 --> 00:15:41.519
this one. Bruce tim Is back, yeah on the project.

302
00:15:42.159 --> 00:15:44.159
Yeah, And I mean when you talk about people that

303
00:15:44.159 --> 00:15:48.279
are gonna help turn cartoons around to not be what

304
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.159
people think of as cartoons, right that it's not zany

305
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:56.159
anvils and there's anything wrong with that, but taking the

306
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.559
writing a little bit seriously in terms of giving these

307
00:15:58.600 --> 00:16:01.159
characters depth. You can that a lot in these kind

308
00:16:01.159 --> 00:16:01.919
of shows.

309
00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:03.480
And then of course we got to talk about the

310
00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:11.679
creative director Jaybacall, who famously gave us the name the Transformers.

311
00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.720
And know if you guys knew that he he was

312
00:16:14.799 --> 00:16:19.279
brought in initially, he was brought in uh marketing and developing,

313
00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:22.840
when Hasbro was like, hey, we bought these two toys,

314
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:25.960
these two toys we were going to do like our

315
00:16:26.000 --> 00:16:28.840
own thing, and we need to give a name to them.

316
00:16:29.440 --> 00:16:31.720
Jaba Call is the one that that that says, let's

317
00:16:31.720 --> 00:16:36.480
call them the transformers because they transform into things pretty

318
00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:41.720
simple stuff sometimes. But yeah, yeah, jabacall So we've we've

319
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:46.240
got we've got all the talent collected once again, we've

320
00:16:46.279 --> 00:16:50.480
got all these amazing voice actors and guys. When you

321
00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:55.480
think about cartoon voice acting, a couple couple of shows

322
00:16:55.480 --> 00:16:58.559
come to mind immediately, like X Men ninety seven, Uh,

323
00:16:58.840 --> 00:17:02.159
Batman the animated series. I feel like G I. Joe

324
00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:07.279
has to be that's that's a top three voice acting group, right.

325
00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.240
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, you've got voice acting royalty

326
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:15.680
on there, right, Frank Welker, Michael Bell, who we talked

327
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:19.599
about in our first Phasers episode because he was a

328
00:17:19.759 --> 00:17:24.240
comer at far point right and one of my favorites.

329
00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:28.480
Rob Paulson voice of Pinky of Pinky in the Brain,

330
00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:33.799
and Raphael I think on TMNT. But just people who've

331
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.880
just run the gamut on voice acting.

332
00:17:36.599 --> 00:17:40.640
Absolutely. I do want to talk a little bit before,

333
00:17:40.759 --> 00:17:42.759
you know, I don't want to make this just a

334
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:47.279
G I. Joe conversation overall, but I do want to

335
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:49.960
say one more thing about the mass device. Just let's

336
00:17:49.960 --> 00:17:52.960
go around the horn here, real quick shooting from the hip.

337
00:17:53.920 --> 00:17:57.680
Is the Revenge of Cobra better than the Mass Device?

338
00:17:58.200 --> 00:18:04.480
Scott Yes, Yes, Yes, for Zartane and Dreadnoughts alone.

339
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:09.920
Okay, Dave, No, No, I was I was lacking my

340
00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:13.480
Snake Eyes in this series, which I understand they have

341
00:18:13.599 --> 00:18:15.559
to give him put somebody in the background because we

342
00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:18.440
have so many new characters. But what they do with

343
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:20.160
Snake Eyes in the Mass Device, I liked it better

344
00:18:20.200 --> 00:18:20.960
than they did this one.

345
00:18:21.680 --> 00:18:24.759
That's a good point because Snake Eyes he is, he's

346
00:18:24.799 --> 00:18:28.200
basically binged. Him and Duke both are benched for this

347
00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:31.680
entire series. I feel like Wayne your thoughts.

348
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:36.319
No, I don't think it is either, just because this

349
00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:40.400
really felt to me like a toy commercial. I know

350
00:18:40.440 --> 00:18:42.920
it is, but I mean it really is. They were.

351
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.839
They were pushing everything into it and giving it. Sure,

352
00:18:45.880 --> 00:18:49.880
all the new toys were given their their go tos,

353
00:18:49.920 --> 00:18:52.079
and and they even had those dumb pack rats. I

354
00:18:52.119 --> 00:18:54.799
hated those things. Those are the toys that you know,

355
00:18:55.039 --> 00:18:57.319
moms bought you because you know they were cheap, and

356
00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:01.279
no kid really wanted those things, you know. But you know,

357
00:19:01.279 --> 00:19:04.480
I've always been partial to the original twelve and they

358
00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:06.680
are kind of thrown back into into the background in

359
00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:09.200
this mini series. And that is really the reason why

360
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:10.680
I say that that this is not better than the

361
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:11.359
other one.

362
00:19:11.519 --> 00:19:15.279
Wayne, A lot of your favorites relegated to just background

363
00:19:15.279 --> 00:19:15.880
players in this.

364
00:19:16.359 --> 00:19:19.279
Yeah, well what do you think?

365
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:23.160
Well, I gotta tell you I'm on the fence because

366
00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:26.880
I agree. I see. I I totally agree with with

367
00:19:27.000 --> 00:19:30.119
David Wayne on a lot of our beloved characters just

368
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.440
being relegated to like one or two scenes or just

369
00:19:33.480 --> 00:19:36.400
background characters. I mean, think about poor Rock and Roll.

370
00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:38.920
Has he ever got to speak on any of these

371
00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:39.440
mini series.

372
00:19:39.480 --> 00:19:40.039
He's barely.

373
00:19:40.160 --> 00:19:42.839
He shows up like three times in the Revisionobra, but

374
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:46.279
he's He's just oddly like somewhere right.

375
00:19:46.400 --> 00:19:46.599
Yeah.

376
00:19:47.480 --> 00:19:51.440
But uh, I think we've got a better, a better

377
00:19:51.519 --> 00:19:55.039
mcguffin this time around with the weather Dominator. But I

378
00:19:55.079 --> 00:19:57.200
think the mass device may be a little bit better.

379
00:19:57.480 --> 00:20:00.960
And and again, I've a has been a snake eyed guy.

380
00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:05.519
So his whole radioactive take one for the team a

381
00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:07.839
subplot was one of my favorite things.

382
00:20:08.039 --> 00:20:09.200
I'm here. Yeah.

383
00:20:09.319 --> 00:20:12.319
True, Although I think they did have to give as

384
00:20:12.359 --> 00:20:14.839
much as I, you know, love Duke and Snake Eyes,

385
00:20:15.119 --> 00:20:16.960
they had to take kind of a back seat here

386
00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:20.160
so that we could see the introduction and advancement of

387
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:26.880
Flint and the intro of Storm and Freedom as as

388
00:20:26.960 --> 00:20:30.680
kind of I guess almost replacements or stand ins for them,

389
00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:33.440
so that we wouldn't have to spend episodes of the

390
00:20:33.599 --> 00:20:36.720
ongoing series getting their intros. So it kind of gets

391
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:38.079
a lot of that out of the way.

392
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:40.559
Yeah, we've got we've we've got some We've got we've

393
00:20:40.559 --> 00:20:42.079
got some plan, we got plenty of new characters, and

394
00:20:42.079 --> 00:20:43.359
I do want to I want to I want to

395
00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:45.240
save that for for a little bit because I do

396
00:20:45.319 --> 00:20:47.240
want to talk about some some of these great new characters.

397
00:20:47.960 --> 00:20:49.839
But since since you brought Flint up, we're gonna go

398
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.759
ahead and let me jump in now with with Flint.

399
00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:57.039
I always love Flint the figure, especially he he led

400
00:20:57.079 --> 00:21:01.240
a lot of my missions. I was Lady J d J.

401
00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.720
I'm watching this though, Scott, and I'm for the first time,

402
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:12.680
I'm questioning Flint's leadership capabilities. First off, how motivated are you?

403
00:21:12.720 --> 00:21:14.640
Because you know, and I don't want to jump into

404
00:21:14.640 --> 00:21:18.680
the convoy just yet, but Duke gets captured. FLINTZ got

405
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:24.400
this very just lasadaisical response. Well, I guess I'm in

406
00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:25.200
charge now.

407
00:21:26.319 --> 00:21:29.160
It's like which he says from the from the cockpit

408
00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.799
of a flying vehicle. Yes, which I guess he's hovering

409
00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:36.640
in while he's watching them slowly drag up snake Eyes

410
00:21:36.720 --> 00:21:40.480
and Duke in a giant, sagging net.

411
00:21:41.640 --> 00:21:45.279
Where were you, bro, Oh, well you're you're The fight's

412
00:21:45.319 --> 00:21:48.440
still going on. Oh ship, they got Duke. He's in

413
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:51.000
a net. Well, I guess I'm in charge. So well,

414
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:53.839
all right, let's let's just regroup.

415
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:58.039
It's they lost and they got their butts kicked by

416
00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:00.960
Cobra because their true leader was not there. And that's Hawk.

417
00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:02.119
He should have been there.

418
00:22:02.400 --> 00:22:04.799
Oh well, he's he's not going to show up for

419
00:22:05.079 --> 00:22:07.799
until nineteen eighty seven. Wayne, So just sit sit tight

420
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:09.359
on Hawk. I know you love Hawk, but.

421
00:22:12.440 --> 00:22:21.680
Gi Joel will return after these messages. Now back to

422
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:22.640
g I Joel.

423
00:22:24.799 --> 00:22:26.200
I know, I know there's a lot of scenes we

424
00:22:26.240 --> 00:22:28.759
want to talk about, but can we talk real quickly

425
00:22:29.799 --> 00:22:34.839
just about this this opening montage. I think this cartoon

426
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:39.680
does one of the greatest things that Saturday Morning cartoons

427
00:22:39.799 --> 00:22:43.759
or after school cartoons ever did. It's the opening montage.

428
00:22:43.759 --> 00:22:45.240
It shows like the teams in action.

429
00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:47.720
Dude, it really get you pumped up for it.

430
00:22:47.759 --> 00:22:47.960
Man.

431
00:22:48.119 --> 00:22:51.640
Yeah. Yeah, they're so well animated. It's yeah, they're beautiful.

432
00:22:52.039 --> 00:22:55.119
It's some of the best animation in the series. It

433
00:22:55.119 --> 00:22:58.079
feels like it's on par with the commercial animation, which

434
00:22:58.079 --> 00:23:01.599
when I'm looking back at the commercials where absolutely top notch.

435
00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:06.440
Yeah, absolutely, yeah. I gotta tell you something. Yes, Snake

436
00:23:06.440 --> 00:23:09.880
Eyes takes a back seat in this mini series, but

437
00:23:09.960 --> 00:23:14.480
I noticed something in the opening montage. I'm pretty sure

438
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:18.119
this is the only time we've ever seen physical contact

439
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:20.839
between Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes. If you've watched I've

440
00:23:20.839 --> 00:23:23.359
watched this like a dozen times, so I'm I'm zeroing

441
00:23:23.359 --> 00:23:25.079
in on every little minute detail. I don't know if

442
00:23:25.119 --> 00:23:27.160
you guys caught this, but we got all this stuff

443
00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:30.599
happening right Joe's and Cobra's and dread Knocks are all

444
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.079
over the place fighting. It's it's just a battle royale.

445
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:36.400
The first time you see storm Shadow in this opening montage,

446
00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:41.440
he's just dishing out throwing stars to anyone in a

447
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:44.799
ten foot radius, and then out of nowhere, Snake Eyes

448
00:23:45.160 --> 00:23:48.079
zooms in on a hang glider and kind of sucker

449
00:23:48.119 --> 00:23:50.559
punches it. He like he kicks him in the back

450
00:23:51.400 --> 00:23:53.240
and then and then you're off to like the next scene.

451
00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:55.200
And I started thinking about that, and I was like,

452
00:23:55.240 --> 00:23:57.880
wait a minute, because I know we've got a we

453
00:23:57.960 --> 00:24:02.079
got an awesome showdown between Spirit and Storm Shadows Scott

454
00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:04.519
a little too, and I know we'll see them fight

455
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.039
again in the In the television series, it was at

456
00:24:08.039 --> 00:24:12.599
a great ex Caliber episode where the Joes were in Scotland.

457
00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:15.680
Lady the like Storm shows after the ex Caliber sword

458
00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.079
and he's gotta fight Spirit. Am I the only one?

459
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.839
Or was it everyone going, when of the hell are

460
00:24:21.839 --> 00:24:24.200
we ever going to see Stormshadows Snake Eyes fight? Ye?

461
00:24:24.839 --> 00:24:26.960
Well, I was saying it because I was reading the

462
00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.039
comics at the time, and that was a big thing

463
00:24:29.079 --> 00:24:31.319
at this time, right when this mini series came out,

464
00:24:31.440 --> 00:24:34.160
was around the twenties issues, twenties twenty one, when that

465
00:24:34.240 --> 00:24:37.160
Silent issue came out. So yeah, I was excited to

466
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:38.960
see this character and it was a big thing in

467
00:24:39.000 --> 00:24:41.079
the comics, but it never happened here really much in

468
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:41.640
the cartoon.

469
00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:45.680
Why did Scott, Why did they deny us for this

470
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.160
entire this entire time, the entire run of the cartoon,

471
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:54.359
all these mini series? Why were we denied this This

472
00:24:54.400 --> 00:24:56.319
is like in the eighties when you were just wishing

473
00:24:57.079 --> 00:24:59.680
for hal Cogan to fight Rick Flair and you knew

474
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.039
it could what happened because they're in different different factions.

475
00:25:03.039 --> 00:25:05.720
But this is the same cartoon. So why you know,

476
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:08.839
the dream fight, why did why did Ron Freeman?

477
00:25:09.720 --> 00:25:13.519
Denius Scott, Well, it's interesting you mentioned that analogy because

478
00:25:13.519 --> 00:25:15.960
I was just thinking it feels like the title belt.

479
00:25:16.119 --> 00:25:19.440
So maybe they were saying, like, you know, when these

480
00:25:20.000 --> 00:25:22.680
two finally face off, because they're both kind of known

481
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.400
in similar ways in their individual groups, right, maybe they're

482
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:28.880
kind of building up suspense, like if you see them

483
00:25:28.880 --> 00:25:32.960
actually fight each other, it's all downhill from there, versus

484
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:35.960
having them face off against everybody else and making them

485
00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:39.640
seem almost unstoppable, Like I don't think there was anybody

486
00:25:39.680 --> 00:25:43.880
that fought Storm Storm Shadow to a standstill aside from Spirit.

487
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:49.519
Yeah, my theory is that, and Scott, I think you

488
00:25:49.599 --> 00:25:52.240
I think you got something there. But to your point,

489
00:25:52.240 --> 00:25:55.000
my theory is that they were saving it. They were

490
00:25:55.000 --> 00:25:59.839
holding on right for maybe another big mini series or

491
00:26:00.920 --> 00:26:03.559
theatrical film. You know, well we got in eighty seven,

492
00:26:03.559 --> 00:26:06.720
we got the movie still didn't happen, So I don't

493
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:10.119
know how long they're they're hoping they were gonna tease us,

494
00:26:10.119 --> 00:26:12.440
but I mean, come on, ninety eight three to nineteen

495
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:14.640
eighty seven, you can't give it to us.

496
00:26:15.240 --> 00:26:16.079
Yeah, well, I.

497
00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:20.799
Can guarantee you every kid had that fight. Yeah, yeah, guarantee.

498
00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:26.799
Yeah, guys, let's talk about some of these scenes because

499
00:26:26.839 --> 00:26:28.799
some of them, we've got some So we've got some

500
00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:32.680
introductions of some new characters. Some things are crazy, some things,

501
00:26:33.839 --> 00:26:35.720
and I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna pick on Wayne

502
00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:38.160
here because I know the last time we had this conversation,

503
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:41.000
he was like, what's great about the original stuff is

504
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:43.880
that was very realistic and waite, I know you're I'm

505
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:50.039
cheating comics. Well it was, but we've got you know,

506
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:53.319
Spirit and Storm Show isn't the only big, big, big

507
00:26:53.319 --> 00:26:56.759
showdown we have here. We do have a giant fire

508
00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:04.000
breathing Aztec Stone creature finding a mega Godzilla Cobra thing,

509
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:06.279
you know, at something, you know, some point we'll get to.

510
00:27:06.400 --> 00:27:11.400
But let me clarify. When I said realistic, I I

511
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:15.319
you're gonna be laughing. I meant that that the g I.

512
00:27:15.440 --> 00:27:18.279
Joe team and the vehicles and stuff and even Cobra

513
00:27:18.319 --> 00:27:20.680
at the time in the like the first three waves

514
00:27:20.920 --> 00:27:26.160
of figures were grounded on real life vehicles and people.

515
00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:28.079
They look more they look like they could be part

516
00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:31.279
of our army, you know, circa nineteen ninety four. But

517
00:27:32.599 --> 00:27:35.519
after this year it kind of went more into the

518
00:27:35.559 --> 00:27:38.640
sci fi range. But I don't get me started on

519
00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:39.680
that whole az tech thing.

520
00:27:41.359 --> 00:27:44.119
Well, let's let's let's talk. Let's talk for a minute, Whane.

521
00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:48.680
Let's talk about Cobra Commander, because this is his first

522
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:52.720
appearance with the hood, right, this is this is our

523
00:27:53.359 --> 00:27:59.240
the debut of the hooded Cobra Commander in the animated form. Meanwhile, though,

524
00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:02.880
am I wrong or wasn't he wearing the hood from

525
00:28:02.880 --> 00:28:03.599
the beginning in the.

526
00:28:03.559 --> 00:28:06.240
Marvel comic comic he did?

527
00:28:06.640 --> 00:28:08.160
I don't know if it was directly from the beginning.

528
00:28:08.160 --> 00:28:09.599
I try to I'm trying to think back. I know

529
00:28:09.640 --> 00:28:13.000
he was wearing an issue five, so I don't remember.

530
00:28:13.039 --> 00:28:14.640
I'm trying to think of issue one if he had

531
00:28:14.640 --> 00:28:16.680
it on there at all. But I know it was

532
00:28:16.799 --> 00:28:18.720
back right at the beginning, close to the beginning.

533
00:28:19.200 --> 00:28:23.880
Yeah, I pointed out because again you know, as Scott,

534
00:28:24.039 --> 00:28:27.640
as Scott said earlier, this is made to sell toys. This,

535
00:28:27.640 --> 00:28:30.160
this whole mini series is made to sell toys. The

536
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:33.480
Hooded Cobra Commander wasn't one you could just go buy

537
00:28:33.519 --> 00:28:37.119
on the shelves at Johnny's Toy Store or hex end

538
00:28:37.160 --> 00:28:39.559
out for it. This was a you know, buy three

539
00:28:39.599 --> 00:28:43.680
figures and then your upc and two ninety nine shipping

540
00:28:43.720 --> 00:28:45.960
and handling and wait six to eight weeks, which was

541
00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:50.200
actually like more like nine months. Yeah, he showed up

542
00:28:50.200 --> 00:28:51.599
in a little plastic bag, right.

543
00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:53.920
Yeah, yep, yep, that's how I got mine, me too.

544
00:28:54.640 --> 00:28:56.400
I think it's I think it's interesting that they would

545
00:28:56.400 --> 00:28:59.319
they would choose to debut the Hooded Cobra Commander in

546
00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:01.599
this miniseries when we didn't have a figure that was

547
00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:06.119
readily available to buy, or or was it Hasbro's Master Planet.

548
00:29:06.440 --> 00:29:08.200
Oh you'll get him, but you have to buy three

549
00:29:08.240 --> 00:29:08.839
other toys.

550
00:29:09.119 --> 00:29:10.079
I don't remember.

551
00:29:11.400 --> 00:29:11.920
No either.

552
00:29:12.160 --> 00:29:15.119
I wonder if they were, Yeah, I wonder if they're

553
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:18.000
kind of gauging interest right to say, like, can we

554
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:20.839
really calm these kids into buying duplicates of the same

555
00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:30.119
character just wearing a different outfit. That's true. My favorite redesign.

556
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:32.920
By the way, I'm probably a loaded that one. But

557
00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:34.920
Snake Eyes and Timber lasting.

558
00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:38.920
No, I'm with Scott with that. I'll i'll yo Joe

559
00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:42.039
you on that one. Yeah, I know Wayne loves the

560
00:29:42.079 --> 00:29:45.880
original figure for Snake Eyes. I'm with you. I like

561
00:29:45.920 --> 00:29:49.759
the reissue with Timber. Dave. What side of this uh

562
00:29:50.559 --> 00:29:51.599
Snake Eyes debater you on?

563
00:29:51.839 --> 00:29:52.000
Oh?

564
00:29:52.039 --> 00:29:53.400
No, I'm with Snake Eyes and Timber.

565
00:29:53.519 --> 00:29:58.880
Oh absolutely all right, Wayne stands alone with the radioactive glow.

566
00:29:59.559 --> 00:30:01.759
Yep, I get I guess wrong.

567
00:30:01.799 --> 00:30:06.400
Mini series. So this one opens up with a huge

568
00:30:06.400 --> 00:30:10.880
battle right off the bat, Yojoe convoy.

569
00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:11.079
Go.

570
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:15.680
We are making quite a big deal about shipping this

571
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:19.559
laser Corps, right, I mean there's an armada. Yeah.

572
00:30:19.599 --> 00:30:21.400
Well, I mean it was nice to see that Optimus

573
00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:25.079
Prime and Stunt Doubles have summer work.

574
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:31.960
Well, Scott, if you're going to ship a highly classified,

575
00:30:32.359 --> 00:30:35.799
dangerous object like the Laser Core, clearly you're just gonna

576
00:30:36.039 --> 00:30:39.079
bungee cord strap it to like the top of a

577
00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:41.720
you know, a box truck.

578
00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:43.640
Yeah.

579
00:30:43.680 --> 00:30:45.559
Well, I think if I think, if I have the

580
00:30:45.640 --> 00:30:48.799
manufacturing to be able to build this big range of

581
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.240
weapons and vehicles and whatever, I'm probably going to try

582
00:30:52.279 --> 00:30:55.079
to build things like a giant laser can on site

583
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:57.319
instead of outsourcing it to someplace in the middle of

584
00:30:57.319 --> 00:31:00.720
Arizona and then having to ship this giant convoy. Like,

585
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:02.200
come on, you're setting yourself up.

586
00:31:02.960 --> 00:31:03.839
Yeah, it's easy.

587
00:31:03.880 --> 00:31:07.240
I know, I know, Wayne said it. You know, we

588
00:31:07.400 --> 00:31:09.000
got a lot of vehicles, We got a lot of

589
00:31:09.039 --> 00:31:12.279
new new faces here. I was always a fan of

590
00:31:12.319 --> 00:31:13.319
the Skyhawk.

591
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:16.359
Oh, yes, love the sky Hawk.

592
00:31:16.920 --> 00:31:18.680
Dave, is this It's not a helicopter.

593
00:31:18.799 --> 00:31:19.039
It's not.

594
00:31:20.000 --> 00:31:22.240
It's kind of like an amalgam, right it is.

595
00:31:22.440 --> 00:31:24.240
And I think that the engines like would go down

596
00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:25.880
so it would like lift up into the eric like

597
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:26.480
a helicopter.

598
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:28.200
Yeah, I have like the Harrier effect.

599
00:31:28.319 --> 00:31:32.799
Yeah, yeah, Dave, do we need I get that we

600
00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:36.839
want to cover all all sides of this core, but

601
00:31:36.839 --> 00:31:40.480
but do we need to fly twenty feet apart and

602
00:31:40.599 --> 00:31:41.000
check in?

603
00:31:42.000 --> 00:31:44.960
No? No, I don't think he's like, hey, hey, Flint.

604
00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.200
He he literally looks out the canopy of his Skyhawk.

605
00:31:49.960 --> 00:31:52.720
You can see Flint smiling at him. This is like

606
00:31:52.759 --> 00:31:55.799
a top gun moment, you know, where we're close enough

607
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:57.359
to give the finger and he's like, hey, Flint, how's

608
00:31:57.359 --> 00:31:58.119
the look on your side?

609
00:31:58.960 --> 00:31:59.240
Well?

610
00:31:59.720 --> 00:32:03.880
Here here twenty feet away. It's exactly as you describe

611
00:32:03.920 --> 00:32:05.119
it back to you, Duke.

612
00:32:07.000 --> 00:32:08.759
What what I want to know is how long with

613
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:10.240
Firefly waiting in that tree?

614
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:12.920
Oh gosh, yeah he is.

615
00:32:14.119 --> 00:32:15.680
Yeah, when's my moment?

616
00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:21.960
I want to be in the strategy session at Cobra

617
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:24.920
at the Cobra temple where he's like, look, we're pretty

618
00:32:24.920 --> 00:32:29.000
sure they're going to take this route on this day. Firefly,

619
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:32.799
can you show up like the night before and hide

620
00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:35.799
and I'll just I'll just I'll cue you when I

621
00:32:35.839 --> 00:32:41.000
need you at the exact moment. It's funny as kids,

622
00:32:41.319 --> 00:32:43.480
you don't think about the logistics.

623
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:44.200
No of these battles.

624
00:32:44.440 --> 00:32:46.799
You're just it's it's eye candy, right, You're just you're

625
00:32:46.839 --> 00:32:49.599
just so excited to see it. But Dave, you're absolutely

626
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.079
right some of the stuff that is happening in this battle.

627
00:32:52.119 --> 00:32:54.680
And and hats off, you know, hats off the Cobra.

628
00:32:54.720 --> 00:32:57.920
They kick some ass here in the beginning. Yeah, and

629
00:32:58.000 --> 00:33:02.440
Cobra commander, who is typically proceed as like the sniveling

630
00:33:02.480 --> 00:33:05.880
weasel type of a leader. Let's give him some credit.

631
00:33:05.960 --> 00:33:09.359
The man is leading the charge. He clearly has some

632
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.680
grip strength. He's listening in on his little Cobra walkie

633
00:33:11.680 --> 00:33:16.319
talkie to Flint talking about Cobra. He crushes it in

634
00:33:16.359 --> 00:33:18.480
his hand and then he jumps in his Cobra claw

635
00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:22.359
and leads the attack. I've never been more proud of

636
00:33:22.440 --> 00:33:26.079
Cobra Commander than this assault on g I jail.

637
00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:27.400
Yeah.

638
00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:30.160
I feel like Cobra Commander is most hated in his

639
00:33:30.200 --> 00:33:33.599
own squad by the Techno Vipers if they're the people

640
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:36.400
that have to replace all the equipment that he destroys

641
00:33:36.400 --> 00:33:41.079
in this movie. The guy, aside from the fact that

642
00:33:41.160 --> 00:33:43.799
when he takes off that helmet that probably steals in

643
00:33:43.799 --> 00:33:45.759
all the flavor and he puts on the hood, he

644
00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:50.559
probably smells like ten day old crotch. Like that's not

645
00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:51.079
very pleasant.

646
00:33:52.000 --> 00:33:54.880
I would think that Cobra has like their own laundry

647
00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:59.720
service because they've got we have what we learned learned. Yeah,

648
00:34:00.160 --> 00:34:02.680
this in the in the miniseries, in the episodes, they've

649
00:34:02.720 --> 00:34:05.960
got their own gems and restaurants. We see a Cobra

650
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:10.760
cafe in this mini series. I'm assuming he's getting it laundered.

651
00:34:10.800 --> 00:34:14.079
But do we need it? Do we need that hood

652
00:34:14.079 --> 00:34:23.679
to be served on a platter? Guys, let it be

653
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:26.519
known that when Dave decides to start wearing a hood

654
00:34:26.760 --> 00:34:30.400
for these podcasts, we'll have to present it on a platter.

655
00:34:30.639 --> 00:34:32.760
Yes, you will just pull it out of your pocket.

656
00:34:32.960 --> 00:34:34.719
When we go to cons and he's gonna wear his hood,

657
00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.119
we can't just you know here, I got my gym

658
00:34:37.159 --> 00:34:40.360
back here. No, bring the platter to Dave.

659
00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:43.480
Dave, I'll buy you anything at House of Plastic if

660
00:34:43.480 --> 00:34:45.199
you just promise me you're never gonna wear a hood.

661
00:34:46.639 --> 00:34:51.320
Won't play, well, I'll take the home.

662
00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:54.320
I'll tell you. I'll tell you what doesn't play at all? Wayne,

663
00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.599
Why did we never get a Colonel Sharp action figure?

664
00:34:58.280 --> 00:34:59.239
I would have wanted that.

665
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:06.280
Because he's sorry, hold on, play with the Colonel Sharp figure.

666
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:12.760
Well I'm sorry, No, wait, no, what what Scott Colonel

667
00:35:12.800 --> 00:35:13.400
Sharp figure?

668
00:35:15.679 --> 00:35:17.920
Let's take a look at his leadership skills? So he

669
00:35:17.960 --> 00:35:20.840
gets dressed in a full dress uniform and gets on

670
00:35:20.880 --> 00:35:24.039
a hovercraft going through the swamp aimlessly for no reason.

671
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:27.960
No no, because he lects to buy you, which sets

672
00:35:28.000 --> 00:35:30.679
him up to be captured by art In, who already

673
00:35:30.679 --> 00:35:36.199
had a complete Colonel Sharp costume in his little you know,

674
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:38.280
dreadnough buggy or whatever that was.

675
00:35:38.880 --> 00:35:41.960
Like, I do wonder why I do wonder what, Well,

676
00:35:41.960 --> 00:35:45.199
hold on now, I think Colonel Sharp, you know what

677
00:35:45.239 --> 00:35:47.159
I can't. I can't defend this. Why he's on an

678
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:51.039
airboat with a with a computer screen. You know, he's

679
00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:55.440
got the Cobra commander being transferred to Blackwater Prison. Okay,

680
00:35:55.480 --> 00:35:57.239
but I'm just saying, like, what kind of cool like

681
00:35:57.239 --> 00:35:59.719
when you're playing to have the Colonel Sharp figure? Can

682
00:35:59.760 --> 00:36:02.559
I get of Duke and flint some orders or maybe

683
00:36:02.639 --> 00:36:05.280
Cobra kidnaps kidnaps him and then you got to go

684
00:36:05.280 --> 00:36:07.159
in and rescue him.

685
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:12.079
I had Hawk? Yeah, what colonel do I need? Waite?

686
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:16.679
Well, stop with the general stuff. Around nineteen eighty seven

687
00:36:16.719 --> 00:36:17.679
we will get to the G I.

688
00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:18.280
Joe movie.

689
00:36:18.320 --> 00:36:20.920
I promise you I had Hawk at eighty two.

690
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:26.039
What I'm wondering is so speaking of Zartan. So this

691
00:36:26.119 --> 00:36:28.239
is the introduction of Zartan on the Dreadnocks.

692
00:36:28.320 --> 00:36:29.559
Right, let's talk about that, Scott.

693
00:36:29.599 --> 00:36:30.719
That's a good figure.

694
00:36:30.519 --> 00:36:32.800
You're saying, like the figure, why didn't we get a

695
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:35.480
Colonel Sharp figure? What I'm wondering is with the Zartan figure,

696
00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:38.840
why didn't he just come with one mask that was

697
00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:42.559
a more suspicious looking face than his original mask, Like

698
00:36:42.599 --> 00:36:44.519
it's kind of like I'm going in disguise as another

699
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.000
bad guy with a semi hood on, like.

700
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:48.840
You wouldn't fool anybody.

701
00:36:48.719 --> 00:36:49.440
No exactly.

702
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:51.280
It just feels like maybe they could have had some

703
00:36:51.400 --> 00:36:54.800
other like Joe like faces or a Colonel Sharp type face.

704
00:36:55.239 --> 00:36:57.039
And I know he'd still be wearing the hood and

705
00:36:57.079 --> 00:37:01.719
the you know, lightsaber sounds tank top that he was wearing,

706
00:37:01.920 --> 00:37:04.800
but a little bit yeah.

707
00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.199
Would uh you know Wayne, Wayne mentioned the rat packs

708
00:37:07.920 --> 00:37:10.239
that your mom would buy that you didn't really want,

709
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:15.480
suspiciously sounding like R two D two. In this mini series, apparently,

710
00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:20.480
when Zartang gets pissed off, his body armor makes the

711
00:37:20.559 --> 00:37:22.000
sound it glows, and it makes the sound of a

712
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:23.000
lightsaber clashing.

713
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:25.599
Yeah, any why does he glow?

714
00:37:26.559 --> 00:37:26.840
Yeah?

715
00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:28.960
I mean, I don't know what is he is? He like,

716
00:37:29.159 --> 00:37:31.440
is e T or something. I don't understand why he

717
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:32.480
grows glows red light.

718
00:37:33.159 --> 00:37:35.280
So for a for a master of disguise, he's got

719
00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:37.639
a couple of things against him. So when he gets angry,

720
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:41.599
his mood ring tank top lights up, and he's allergic

721
00:37:41.639 --> 00:37:44.760
to sunlight to the extent that he changes colors uncontrollably

722
00:37:44.800 --> 00:37:45.960
when he's in it, which.

723
00:37:47.320 --> 00:37:50.800
Wayne Yeah, Wayne, Uh, this will be the first of

724
00:37:50.960 --> 00:37:53.280
maybe one or two medical questions I have for you.

725
00:37:54.360 --> 00:37:57.760
How is Zartan surviving with the with a serious vitamin

726
00:37:57.800 --> 00:38:02.760
D deficiency? Sunlight is it hurting him? Or is it

727
00:38:02.920 --> 00:38:05.400
just turning his skin bluish purple?

728
00:38:05.719 --> 00:38:08.639
Well, that's that's the question. I don't understand why he

729
00:38:08.679 --> 00:38:12.920
would do that anyways, It's it's you know, is he human?

730
00:38:13.000 --> 00:38:14.639
Is he not human? I mean they never really did

731
00:38:14.679 --> 00:38:18.000
answer that. I mean, why would you Is he a mutant? Hey,

732
00:38:18.239 --> 00:38:20.559
maybe there's a thought I didn't think about that.

733
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:23.039
Well, I'll tell you what I what I what I

734
00:38:23.079 --> 00:38:25.840
thought about was we all fell for this gimmuck because

735
00:38:26.039 --> 00:38:28.199
I couldn't wait to get by Zartan figure.

736
00:38:28.719 --> 00:38:29.400
And I know you.

737
00:38:29.320 --> 00:38:32.280
Guys did the same thing I did. You ran straight outside,

738
00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:35.119
ye threw him on the ground and you watch the

739
00:38:35.159 --> 00:38:37.920
sun turn him like into like a purple figure.

740
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:39.960
Yeah, and it was awesome.

741
00:38:40.760 --> 00:38:46.639
He's I feel like that action figure or that action

742
00:38:46.840 --> 00:38:49.679
feature was phenomenal, Like there was so much going for

743
00:38:49.719 --> 00:38:52.639
the figure, and I think they should have just leaned

744
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:55.159
into the fact that he could camouflage himself, like he

745
00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:58.039
could change the entire color of his body and his

746
00:38:58.119 --> 00:39:01.079
clothes to match whatever kind of environment. So instead of

747
00:39:01.079 --> 00:39:02.719
having it be a sun allergy, it seems like it

748
00:39:02.719 --> 00:39:06.920
should have just been his camouflage abilities. Yeah.

749
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:12.480
One of the greatest action figures ever made, though, especially

750
00:39:14.599 --> 00:39:18.400
why he's the master of disguise. He's in his secret

751
00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:23.840
hideout in the swamp. Why announce yourself to Colonel Sharp?

752
00:39:24.000 --> 00:39:28.559
Why why do an exposition dump because he does one

753
00:39:28.559 --> 00:39:29.400
of the best ones ever.

754
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:32.719
Because we need to know what figure to go by,

755
00:39:32.880 --> 00:39:35.880
I guess.

756
00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:36.960
Because it seems like this scene and a lot of

757
00:39:37.000 --> 00:39:40.519
scenes are written as in, we're going to give kids

758
00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:44.559
a general plot line d'Artagnan introduct introduced in the Swamp

759
00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:47.599
with his gang takes out. That's Colonel That. They probably

760
00:39:47.639 --> 00:39:50.239
just gave the kids a bunch of the new action

761
00:39:50.320 --> 00:39:53.519
figures and said like, okay, play this out yep, and

762
00:39:53.559 --> 00:39:56.039
they would get their arms they make the action and

763
00:39:56.039 --> 00:39:58.199
all this other kind of stuff. They like, Damn, that's gold.

764
00:39:58.800 --> 00:40:01.320
Let's write that into a store and then put it

765
00:40:01.360 --> 00:40:01.840
on the screen.

766
00:40:02.039 --> 00:40:04.400
That's exactly how I was thinking it too. You know,

767
00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:08.079
they're they're creating these vague scenes and bringing all these

768
00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:10.679
characters in so the kids will see and say Hey,

769
00:40:10.760 --> 00:40:12.679
you know, I got this figure. Now I can do

770
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:15.760
this scene and and expand on it. They're just like

771
00:40:15.760 --> 00:40:19.519
like planning the seed, you know, to the storyline for

772
00:40:19.559 --> 00:40:21.159
the characters so that the kids can play with it.

773
00:40:21.199 --> 00:40:22.800
And it worked. I mean I did the same thing.

774
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:27.880
I did that all the Dreadnocks you had, well, you

775
00:40:27.920 --> 00:40:30.920
had to have all the Dreadnocks, Dave. How tough were

776
00:40:30.920 --> 00:40:34.159
they in your play? Were they just getting their asses

777
00:40:34.159 --> 00:40:36.280
to hand to them by the snake eyes or were

778
00:40:36.320 --> 00:40:38.280
they were they? Were they tough?

779
00:40:38.320 --> 00:40:40.920
They were always tough guys. Yeah, when I when I

780
00:40:41.199 --> 00:40:44.159
played them out in my stories, in my in the backyard. Absolutely,

781
00:40:44.960 --> 00:40:46.239
the whole Copra was tough.

782
00:40:46.400 --> 00:40:46.679
I was.

783
00:40:46.719 --> 00:40:49.599
There was no cowards in Cobra, none of them, including

784
00:40:49.599 --> 00:40:50.679
Cobra Commander himself.

785
00:40:53.559 --> 00:41:00.719
Hi, Joel, will return. I have to these messages. Now

786
00:41:00.920 --> 00:41:01.760
back to g.

787
00:41:01.679 --> 00:41:06.039
I Joel, we get another callback from the mass device

788
00:41:07.320 --> 00:41:11.320
speaking of Masters of Disguises, the Baroness, Zartan and Baroness

789
00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:15.719
working together to bus Cobra Commander out of Blackwater Prison.

790
00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:19.079
I don't know what's wrong with the leadership at g

791
00:41:19.239 --> 00:41:23.199
I Joe, but anytime an overweight woman who's obnoxious as hell,

792
00:41:23.400 --> 00:41:25.280
is going to show up to tell me how to

793
00:41:25.320 --> 00:41:28.199
do my job. Shouldn't you just accept that that's the

794
00:41:28.199 --> 00:41:29.599
baroness hide out?

795
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:31.480
Probably I would think so.

796
00:41:31.960 --> 00:41:32.360
Yeah.

797
00:41:32.880 --> 00:41:35.679
Sure. A funny note here, did you guys notice when

798
00:41:35.719 --> 00:41:38.519
they put the gas out to Kulgert that Cobra commander

799
00:41:38.559 --> 00:41:40.440
was putting a rag over his helmet.

800
00:41:42.360 --> 00:41:48.000
What knockout gas? The warden's out, we're gonna we're gonna

801
00:41:48.000 --> 00:41:52.800
get all the other guards out. Barness covers her face

802
00:41:53.119 --> 00:41:56.440
because it's exposed, and yeah, Zartan covers his face because

803
00:41:56.440 --> 00:42:01.000
it's exposed. Cobra commander, who's wearing a metal face plate,

804
00:42:01.840 --> 00:42:04.519
he puts the rag up to his face. Bret I

805
00:42:04.559 --> 00:42:05.239
picked up on that.

806
00:42:05.239 --> 00:42:06.920
That's it.

807
00:42:07.519 --> 00:42:10.320
But I think what we're learning here is that g I.

808
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:12.800
Jeff would be spending a lot of time in the

809
00:42:12.800 --> 00:42:16.400
brig because, just like in Star Trek, he'd go after

810
00:42:16.599 --> 00:42:20.360
every every admiral that pissed him off and try to

811
00:42:20.360 --> 00:42:23.800
peel off the mask. Like, wait a second, you must

812
00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:26.639
be the baroness to throwing back in. For God's sakes,

813
00:42:26.800 --> 00:42:29.079
this happens every week.

814
00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:33.199
Let's talk about another throwback that I was excited for

815
00:42:33.559 --> 00:42:38.199
until I wasn't the Cobra Arena of Sport is back

816
00:42:38.239 --> 00:42:41.840
in play. This was awesome the last time Duke is

817
00:42:41.880 --> 00:42:47.960
fighting uh Andre the Giants understudy, and it's it's like

818
00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:52.840
it's it's Mortal Kombat. This time we've got like a

819
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:57.840
Kirk Spock battle where they could talk and plan while

820
00:42:57.840 --> 00:43:02.800
they're just half ass fighting. We've got some u what

821
00:43:02.960 --> 00:43:07.599
is it like an electrical Cobras.

822
00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:09.320
I call them tron snakes.

823
00:43:10.840 --> 00:43:12.800
Yeah, yeah, let's go with tron snakes.

824
00:43:12.840 --> 00:43:13.199
I like that.

825
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:15.880
I was a little a little down by the Arena

826
00:43:15.920 --> 00:43:18.719
of sports this time. What about you guys do with them?

827
00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:22.880
I think Cobra's problem is that, you know, and why

828
00:43:22.920 --> 00:43:25.239
they have this arena of sport is because when when

829
00:43:25.280 --> 00:43:29.360
they're mega big pyramid headquarters sinks into the ground, they

830
00:43:29.360 --> 00:43:32.559
get no television reception whatsoever. So they have to entertain

831
00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:34.719
themselves somehow. So you know, why not throw two g

832
00:43:34.840 --> 00:43:37.519
I Joe's and watch them lazily, you know, swing things

833
00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:38.000
at each other.

834
00:43:39.079 --> 00:43:41.280
It feels to be like Cobra commander and needs Charie

835
00:43:41.280 --> 00:43:44.800
twenty six hundred or maybe a little Alive's castle in

836
00:43:44.800 --> 00:43:49.480
his Cobra hide out so that he stops pitting Joe's

837
00:43:49.519 --> 00:43:51.760
against each other in the arena of the sport because

838
00:43:51.800 --> 00:43:53.800
it never works in.

839
00:43:54.320 --> 00:43:57.119
What kind of engineering feet is it to raise this

840
00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:01.079
entire temple out.

841
00:43:58.880 --> 00:43:59.199
Of the.

842
00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:04.920
Dave thank you because I want to. Let's let's let's

843
00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:08.000
have it. Let's real talk. Let's let's talk logistics here

844
00:44:09.159 --> 00:44:12.960
and the in the mass device, the Cobra Fortress was

845
00:44:13.039 --> 00:44:15.119
hidden away in the mountains, right Destra had to make

846
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:19.400
this climb with the Sherpas Cobra commander actually says, I

847
00:44:19.480 --> 00:44:23.599
designed the Cobra Temple to be elusive or hidden from

848
00:44:23.800 --> 00:44:28.559
from eyes whatever. We're still doing that. But this thing

849
00:44:28.679 --> 00:44:30.760
is what thirty stories tall?

850
00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:32.039
It's huge.

851
00:44:32.079 --> 00:44:35.800
I mean they land that that big aircraft in there

852
00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:36.599
in the air.

853
00:44:38.239 --> 00:44:41.880
How long does it take for it to submerge into

854
00:44:41.920 --> 00:44:45.639
the desert and re emerge the way it does. How

855
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:47.000
much energy is that taking?

856
00:44:47.320 --> 00:44:47.480
Well?

857
00:44:47.679 --> 00:44:50.000
I just how could it? I mean, once they sink

858
00:44:50.039 --> 00:44:51.519
it in the sand and the sand gets on top

859
00:44:51.559 --> 00:44:54.920
of it, it would they couldn't lift it back up torn.

860
00:44:55.639 --> 00:44:57.880
Let's I know, I know we haven't talked about shipwreck yet,

861
00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:00.360
but we have to suspend our disbelief of sand and

862
00:45:00.440 --> 00:45:04.079
this series altogether. Yes, we get when we get to shipwreck. Well,

863
00:45:04.119 --> 00:45:08.760
we'll talk about more of that, yeah, momentarily, but I

864
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:17.480
want to talk OCEHA violations. Destro designs this weather dominator

865
00:45:18.199 --> 00:45:21.519
and it's basically like the UH. It's almost like that

866
00:45:21.559 --> 00:45:26.199
cockpit thing that the UH from Alien. Remember that the

867
00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:29.920
visitor of the space Cowboy is sitting in looks sort

868
00:45:29.920 --> 00:45:34.440
of like that. He hops into this thing, no seat belt,

869
00:45:34.519 --> 00:45:38.199
no safety harness, and then it shoots like another thirty

870
00:45:38.239 --> 00:45:41.679
feet out of the top of the Cobra temple. People

871
00:45:41.719 --> 00:45:43.760
are dying as all. I'm gonna tell you, Like one

872
00:45:43.800 --> 00:45:46.480
person gets in this thing and isn't paying attention. They're

873
00:45:46.519 --> 00:45:47.440
falling right out of that.

874
00:45:48.440 --> 00:45:52.000
I'm concerned what be up there anyways? Couldn't you just

875
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:53.840
tend to put the controls down there at the bottom

876
00:45:53.880 --> 00:45:55.960
and question that's.

877
00:45:55.800 --> 00:46:01.119
Another question likely designed by careworker because he was like

878
00:46:01.840 --> 00:46:04.280
he always hates Destro, he's always mad at him. He

879
00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:07.559
was like, no seatbelts, raise him up like one hundred

880
00:46:07.559 --> 00:46:10.119
feet out of the ground and then just maybe takes

881
00:46:10.159 --> 00:46:10.480
him out.

882
00:46:10.880 --> 00:46:12.960
Now we know why doctor mind Bitter came along.

883
00:46:13.159 --> 00:46:19.159
Somebody had no cot You're right, Scott, Cobra commander is

884
00:46:19.199 --> 00:46:22.880
talking some serious ship at Destro and this one, and

885
00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:25.519
I don't know what what's the deal, Like, why is

886
00:46:25.599 --> 00:46:30.840
Zartan the favorite? Because every time Zartann should be punished

887
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:33.239
Cobra commanders like he's cool.

888
00:46:34.159 --> 00:46:36.840
He has a he's got a sunlight out let. You

889
00:46:36.920 --> 00:46:38.559
take it the.

890
00:46:38.519 --> 00:46:43.480
Fuck up, Destro, we got what we needed. Go Yeah,

891
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:47.719
And did you guys notice this time out Cobra commander

892
00:46:47.760 --> 00:46:50.079
when he's when he's divving up, you know who's gonna

893
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:53.679
go on? What mission we get? We get the Baroness

894
00:46:53.679 --> 00:46:57.800
and Zartan teaming up twice in this and the Baroness

895
00:46:57.800 --> 00:47:01.440
is that that's Destro's lady. So I can understand why

896
00:47:01.440 --> 00:47:03.239
Desh is a little pissed and a little jealous, is R.

897
00:47:03.559 --> 00:47:05.440
I can understand why Cobert didn't have the two of

898
00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:08.239
them go together. I mean, who knows what they're doing

899
00:47:08.320 --> 00:47:10.000
behind behind the Hiss tape.

900
00:47:10.880 --> 00:47:13.239
I mean like they're both masters of disguise, so they're

901
00:47:13.239 --> 00:47:14.840
never getting caught if they go on a date.

902
00:47:16.199 --> 00:47:21.480
I guess not. I guess not Destro. It's interesting to know, like, yeah,

903
00:47:21.519 --> 00:47:23.800
he's like your weapons guy, but also it seems like

904
00:47:23.840 --> 00:47:28.159
he's more into biology and botany this time out. He's

905
00:47:28.199 --> 00:47:29.920
he's all about the weather, and he's all about these

906
00:47:30.119 --> 00:47:33.840
these vines of evil, the creeper vine. Yeah, the vines

907
00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:39.360
of evil. What a what a genius? What is what

908
00:47:39.440 --> 00:47:45.760
a geniusly stupid? Uh species, It's a dead dry leaf.

909
00:47:46.519 --> 00:47:49.920
Squirt some water on and it becomes this Audrey three,

910
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:55.280
you know, but it's only gonna last for a couple couple.

911
00:47:55.119 --> 00:47:57.239
Of minutes unless it stays wet.

912
00:47:57.679 --> 00:48:02.119
Yeah, well, so I don't know. I don't know. There's

913
00:48:02.159 --> 00:48:05.920
there's It's one of many inventions in this many series

914
00:48:05.920 --> 00:48:10.599
that I questioned. I'll tell another one. I questioned, Wayne,

915
00:48:10.800 --> 00:48:13.280
you're you're a medic much like Doc.

916
00:48:13.840 --> 00:48:14.920
Oh, I know what you're bringing up.

917
00:48:15.119 --> 00:48:19.320
Yeah, here, you've been a medic what twenty years? Wayne?

918
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:20.519
Yep, twenty years?

919
00:48:21.039 --> 00:48:23.719
Can you tell me what? Because I I went as

920
00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:26.599
far as EMT basic, so I didn't get to this

921
00:48:27.519 --> 00:48:30.280
in my training. But at what point did they teach

922
00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:32.519
you about magic energy mirrors?

923
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:34.960
Oh? Well, it's in the first quarter right away, you know,

924
00:48:35.000 --> 00:48:38.880
before medicine, anything else important to understand mirrors.

925
00:48:39.199 --> 00:48:42.039
Yeah, what the hell's going on here?

926
00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:43.880
I guess Doc has a hobby.

927
00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:51.760
Cobra can just okay, so the the weather Dominator, which

928
00:48:52.280 --> 00:48:55.880
flat out is told to us it dominates weather. So

929
00:48:55.920 --> 00:48:59.320
that's hence the weather Dominator. You can shoot this at

930
00:48:59.360 --> 00:49:03.719
any town, and you know you can. If you want storms,

931
00:49:03.760 --> 00:49:07.000
if you want hail, if you want tornadoes. This thing

932
00:49:07.079 --> 00:49:13.000
does it. And yet a mirror can capture it, sure,

933
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:17.079
hold it, harness it, and then shoot it back at

934
00:49:17.119 --> 00:49:19.039
the the weather dominator.

935
00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.400
It came from. This is this is the biggest thing

936
00:49:22.440 --> 00:49:24.719
I know. Is that made me laugh? How did they

937
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:28.960
know which direction to to point to just to aim

938
00:49:29.000 --> 00:49:31.920
it at Cobra's secret headquarters.

939
00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:34.519
And what what? How did they know exactly where to be?

940
00:49:35.800 --> 00:49:39.079
How did Doc know that? Oh, you guys going to wait,

941
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:42.039
wee can past. You're going drinking. Nah, I'm gonna mess

942
00:49:42.079 --> 00:49:43.639
with some mirrors. I gotta, I gotta.

943
00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:47.039
I'm working on something something.

944
00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:48.960
You know it come in handy one day.

945
00:49:49.000 --> 00:49:56.800
You just wait, I gotta say. And And maybe this

946
00:49:56.840 --> 00:49:58.840
is why I'm leaning Scott, Maybe why I'm leaning more

947
00:49:58.840 --> 00:50:02.360
towards the mass devices better. This is just a goofy

948
00:50:02.360 --> 00:50:06.639
premise because I'm i I'm all in on the mcguffin

949
00:50:06.760 --> 00:50:08.880
getting destroyed into three parts and we gotta go chase

950
00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:11.760
it down and fight but the back and forth the

951
00:50:12.239 --> 00:50:17.119
volley mechanism with the weather dominator and the Joe's using

952
00:50:17.119 --> 00:50:21.480
these mirrors. And let's be honest, we manufactured a shipload

953
00:50:21.519 --> 00:50:24.159
of these quick to get to Washington, d C. And

954
00:50:24.199 --> 00:50:26.719
you got all these all these green shirts just screwing

955
00:50:26.760 --> 00:50:29.960
things up there, dropping them and breaking them and stupid

956
00:50:30.039 --> 00:50:33.360
green shirts. You had one job, You had one job.

957
00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:34.280
Hold them.

958
00:50:34.440 --> 00:50:39.599
The whole premise is basically to give other places of

959
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:51.000
the world, Ohio, weather wind like inventing giant mirrors that

960
00:50:51.079 --> 00:50:54.239
can capture energy which has nothing to do with weather whatsoever.

961
00:50:54.400 --> 00:50:57.000
It's all moisture and wind, Like, are you going to

962
00:50:57.079 --> 00:50:59.320
capture that? You can't have a bunch of mirrors.

963
00:50:59.400 --> 00:51:04.559
But poor Scarlett, you know, she's in charge. Which way,

964
00:51:04.639 --> 00:51:07.440
not know what happened to Stalker. Thought he was up there,

965
00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:08.679
wasn't he.

966
00:51:09.119 --> 00:51:11.280
Oh he's standing there in the background. He is.

967
00:51:12.079 --> 00:51:15.920
Yeah, you know, because because Flint, you know, mister guess

968
00:51:16.000 --> 00:51:21.199
I'm in charge. Now he gets himself captured, like hours

969
00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:24.199
after Duke gets captured, and then Scarlett's kind of calling

970
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:27.159
the shots and she's doing a good job. You know,

971
00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:30.280
I'll give her that. You know, she's in DC. She's trying.

972
00:51:30.360 --> 00:51:34.199
She's trying her best, but how do you how do

973
00:51:34.239 --> 00:51:35.159
you fight giant hail?

974
00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:40.519
You can't go in?

975
00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:44.039
Yeah, stop being like asu little weather.

976
00:51:45.480 --> 00:51:45.920
Yeah.

977
00:51:46.119 --> 00:51:48.960
See, that's that's why a Cobra commander didn't aim this

978
00:51:49.000 --> 00:51:52.400
thing at Ohio Because Scott, you're right, we we can.

979
00:51:52.480 --> 00:51:54.920
We can. We can swim in the pool and build

980
00:51:54.960 --> 00:51:58.440
a snow castle in the span of three hours. And

981
00:51:58.480 --> 00:52:01.800
we always happened. You know, we're for that. Yeah, that's

982
00:52:01.920 --> 00:52:04.719
that's a Tuesday for us. I absolutely love it. I

983
00:52:04.719 --> 00:52:07.960
do love the fact, you know this thing explodes, we

984
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:10.880
we go back to our our favorite trope of now

985
00:52:10.880 --> 00:52:11.880
it's all over the world.

986
00:52:12.000 --> 00:52:12.239
Right.

987
00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:16.639
Ron Freeman pointed out the reason this isn't lazy writing

988
00:52:16.679 --> 00:52:19.480
this is the fact that he mentioned this in the

989
00:52:19.519 --> 00:52:22.280
interview I watched. He said, when you've got all these

990
00:52:22.320 --> 00:52:26.679
personalities and these big teams, how do you focus on them?

991
00:52:26.960 --> 00:52:28.679
On people? How do you how do you bring them

992
00:52:28.679 --> 00:52:31.000
to life? Well, you've got to divide them up into

993
00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:34.440
smaller groups so they can have their interactions. And I thought,

994
00:52:34.480 --> 00:52:36.599
you know what, that actually that makes perfect sense because

995
00:52:37.079 --> 00:52:39.760
one thing the miniseries always did really well was it

996
00:52:39.800 --> 00:52:42.679
gave us it mixed the teams up here and there,

997
00:52:43.519 --> 00:52:47.320
we got different interactions. Uh, and that interaction. You know,

998
00:52:47.920 --> 00:52:51.519
we've got three new new faces here. We've got Flint

999
00:52:52.039 --> 00:52:57.360
and we've got Mutton junk Yard, and we're gonna meet

1000
00:52:58.440 --> 00:53:00.960
We're gonna meet Shipwreck for the first time in Cobra Cafe.

1001
00:53:01.000 --> 00:53:04.119
Who who is Let's be honest, he's this is the

1002
00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:05.920
Star Wars canteen and he's ont Solo.

1003
00:53:06.920 --> 00:53:08.239
H oh oh absolutely, yeah.

1004
00:53:09.000 --> 00:53:09.400
Which.

1005
00:53:10.800 --> 00:53:12.639
I forgot that he started as a mercenary.

1006
00:53:13.000 --> 00:53:16.119
Yeah, yeah, he's you know, hey, if you can, if

1007
00:53:16.119 --> 00:53:18.320
you can afford my fee, I'll take you out of here.

1008
00:53:18.880 --> 00:53:21.000
So does that mean in the mass device It's possible

1009
00:53:21.079 --> 00:53:24.199
he was hired by Cobra to fight. I mean he's

1010
00:53:24.239 --> 00:53:26.280
hanging out and looking for work, reading the Cobra news.

1011
00:53:26.519 --> 00:53:30.639
He's read. Yeah, he's literally reading Cobra news in the

1012
00:53:30.639 --> 00:53:34.760
Cobra cafe. Scott, You're honest, and I think, uh could

1013
00:53:34.760 --> 00:53:37.599
he could he have been smuggling or running stuff for Cobra.

1014
00:53:38.480 --> 00:53:40.679
I mean he survived long enough to go back to

1015
00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:42.639
the Cobra Cafe and read the Cobra news.

1016
00:53:42.719 --> 00:53:45.639
Well he's so. I mean, let's be honest, Flint and

1017
00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:51.159
Mutt are dressed in Cobra soldier uniforms, and they immediately,

1018
00:53:52.119 --> 00:53:54.840
you know, bring uh, bring trouble to him. And he's

1019
00:53:54.840 --> 00:53:57.079
sitting there in his bell bottoms and his his white

1020
00:53:57.079 --> 00:53:59.639
sailor cap, and everyone's just like, he's cool.

1021
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:02.480
I think he was ready to convert when he met

1022
00:54:02.719 --> 00:54:07.199
Lady j But when he finally got h connected with Polly,

1023
00:54:07.920 --> 00:54:09.719
I think Polly was kind of whispering in his ear,

1024
00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:12.960
like fight for the Joe's stop universcenary, fight for the Joe.

1025
00:54:13.280 --> 00:54:16.079
The best part about Shipwreck in this mini series is

1026
00:54:16.079 --> 00:54:16.960
that there is no Polly.

1027
00:54:18.199 --> 00:54:24.280
I disagree, you disagree. I disagree totally. Polly is He's

1028
00:54:24.360 --> 00:54:27.519
the one with the personality. It's just it's a two act,

1029
00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:32.719
a double act. You can't without Polly. Just Shipwreck no Polly.

1030
00:54:32.480 --> 00:54:36.480
Was like, you know, all these awesome cartoons had that

1031
00:54:36.559 --> 00:54:40.000
one annoying as hell character and it was usually like

1032
00:54:40.039 --> 00:54:44.119
some kind of animal. You know, I'm looking at you snarf,

1033
00:54:44.440 --> 00:54:50.480
you know, you know, Polly was just probably was annoying.

1034
00:54:50.559 --> 00:54:52.760
Wayne Polly saved his bacon in Springfield.

1035
00:54:53.280 --> 00:54:57.280
Yep, yeah, not in this mini series. So let's talk.

1036
00:54:57.360 --> 00:54:59.559
Let's let's move on. Let's talk about Wayne is it

1037
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:03.079
a Is it a sand barge? Is it a sand skiff?

1038
00:55:03.559 --> 00:55:06.239
Is it a I mean, I know, I know what

1039
00:55:06.239 --> 00:55:07.199
it is. It's a boat.

1040
00:55:07.480 --> 00:55:09.199
It's a very logical vehicle.

1041
00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:13.760
Yeah, it's just like, what what the hell's going on here?

1042
00:55:13.800 --> 00:55:15.280
He's a because I didn't remember this when I was

1043
00:55:15.320 --> 00:55:17.280
a kid. I just yeah, ship bright, he's a sailor,

1044
00:55:17.320 --> 00:55:24.679
but he has a a boat vehicle that sand boat sands. Yeah,

1045
00:55:24.679 --> 00:55:28.400
that that that that's that sails. It sails across the sand.

1046
00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:31.280
It's a sail barge, sail barge.

1047
00:55:31.719 --> 00:55:35.119
The job of the hut. Yeah, I still think it's stupid.

1048
00:55:35.519 --> 00:55:36.559
It is it is.

1049
00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:39.159
I don't think the test thing with the kids lasted

1050
00:55:39.199 --> 00:55:41.320
all that long. They're just like, this thing sucks.

1051
00:55:42.440 --> 00:55:46.480
It's interesting we never saw the sand barge sail barge.

1052
00:55:46.679 --> 00:55:49.440
I never saw that vehicle because we definitely were not

1053
00:55:49.480 --> 00:55:50.000
going to buy.

1054
00:55:49.880 --> 00:55:53.480
It no time now.

1055
00:55:54.679 --> 00:55:57.519
Right next to Wayne's favorite little remote control missile.

1056
00:55:58.320 --> 00:56:02.440
Right, Scott, I I have a question for you talking

1057
00:56:02.440 --> 00:56:07.280
about new faces, who is who is the most annoying

1058
00:56:07.400 --> 00:56:14.239
character ever? And sub question, why is it Hondolu West?

1059
00:56:15.719 --> 00:56:18.679
I knew you were going to say that, or come on,

1060
00:56:19.280 --> 00:56:25.039
maybe poor Hondolu. Don't act like you liked her. No,

1061
00:56:25.480 --> 00:56:31.719
I didn't. But still, you know what's more annoying than

1062
00:56:31.719 --> 00:56:35.880
Hondolu is the fact that roadbock roadblock can't distinguish the

1063
00:56:35.880 --> 00:56:37.679
fact that he's talking to a woman or looking at

1064
00:56:37.719 --> 00:56:42.719
a woman. Let's just let's just break this down for

1065
00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:45.960
a minute. He he gets past the vines of evil,

1066
00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:49.000
the creeper vine, poor roadblock he gets he just keeps

1067
00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:51.480
getting like left behind. He's like Chuck Norris and missing

1068
00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:56.159
an action. Yeah, but he's a tough guy. He escapes

1069
00:56:56.159 --> 00:57:01.239
some mountain lions by jumping onto a box truck, slips

1070
00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:06.920
into the back where apparently it's stocked with with meat,

1071
00:57:07.360 --> 00:57:15.519
hanging meat and canned goods, and then the victuals. And

1072
00:57:15.559 --> 00:57:19.440
then here's here's one hundred and twenty pound person struggling,

1073
00:57:19.920 --> 00:57:22.239
tied up and hog tied and struggling on the ground.

1074
00:57:22.239 --> 00:57:25.320
And he's like, you know, you better I see you,

1075
00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:28.599
and you better be friendly. And he had ties her,

1076
00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:33.519
and you know, he's like my kind of guy. Now, granted,

1077
00:57:33.559 --> 00:57:38.599
her cowboy hat is covering her face, it's not covering

1078
00:57:38.639 --> 00:57:41.239
her tight T shirt or thirty six sees like what

1079
00:57:41.360 --> 00:57:44.800
he's like, you're a you're a woman? No shit, Like,

1080
00:57:45.000 --> 00:57:46.000
what do you mean?

1081
00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:49.440
It may be because the part of his brain that

1082
00:57:49.480 --> 00:57:54.599
forces his compulsion to rhyme his lines gives him a

1083
00:57:54.639 --> 00:57:58.079
hard time with distinguishing Scott how much?

1084
00:57:58.239 --> 00:57:58.960
How much? Scott?

1085
00:57:58.960 --> 00:57:59.239
How much?

1086
00:57:59.239 --> 00:58:01.880
Would you love to work with someone that rhymes like

1087
00:58:01.920 --> 00:58:05.599
that every time? Every time?

1088
00:58:09.639 --> 00:58:11.320
If I had noise canceling headphones.

1089
00:58:14.159 --> 00:58:16.840
Let's not forget. This is the same guy who was

1090
00:58:16.880 --> 00:58:19.840
hanging off of that tree when the when the cats

1091
00:58:19.840 --> 00:58:21.519
were coming out, and he says, cats can climb, but

1092
00:58:21.559 --> 00:58:27.800
they can't fly roadblock neither can you.

1093
00:58:29.199 --> 00:58:35.599
That's fine, He'll fight his way out. Let go my legs.

1094
00:58:36.159 --> 00:58:40.800
He's got some of the best lines in this movie. Yeah,

1095
00:58:41.760 --> 00:58:48.440
but Honolu apparently she owns a trucking company that who's

1096
00:58:48.480 --> 00:58:51.239
driving all the trucks. We didn't we didn't talk about that,

1097
00:58:52.760 --> 00:58:55.920
and she's pissed. She's like, hey, you know these are

1098
00:58:55.920 --> 00:58:59.239
the best victuals you can get. Well, you know, what,

1099
00:58:59.239 --> 00:59:01.679
what do you why do you cared? He's like, because

1100
00:59:01.679 --> 00:59:05.280
I'm hungry and and I'm a I'm a chef. And

1101
00:59:05.280 --> 00:59:07.199
then all of a sudden, she's like, oh, well, we're

1102
00:59:07.239 --> 00:59:11.519
best friends. Then you know, let's I'll tell you this.

1103
00:59:11.559 --> 00:59:14.199
I don't know about you, guys. I have been in

1104
00:59:14.199 --> 00:59:18.199
the back of these trucks hundreds, if not thousands of

1105
00:59:18.239 --> 00:59:22.559
times to unload them in my in my career. You

1106
00:59:22.599 --> 00:59:25.039
are not hanging out and eating victuals in the back

1107
00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:27.239
of one of these You're just not so.

1108
00:59:27.880 --> 00:59:30.760
Unless you're Steve Martin and Bernette Peters, then you're snacking

1109
00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:31.760
away on a couple of pizza.

1110
00:59:32.400 --> 00:59:34.159
True.

1111
00:59:34.480 --> 00:59:35.119
Yeah, that's right.

1112
00:59:35.199 --> 00:59:38.719
Oh boy, let's talk about let's talk about some of

1113
00:59:38.760 --> 00:59:43.719
these battlegrounds. So we've got we got the Palace of Doom,

1114
00:59:44.440 --> 00:59:50.760
which I'm assuming is somewhere in the South American region

1115
00:59:50.920 --> 00:59:52.960
of the world. You know, we got the We got

1116
00:59:52.960 --> 00:59:55.280
the Roof of the World, which is obviously in the Himalayas.

1117
00:59:56.000 --> 00:59:59.280
We got the Island of No Return, which South Pacific

1118
00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:02.960
maybe somewhere. Sure, how come none of these things ever,

1119
01:00:03.400 --> 01:00:06.960
these these parts, these these pieces, they always land in

1120
01:00:07.000 --> 01:00:11.559
the most dangerous parts of the world.

1121
01:00:10.800 --> 01:00:13.599
Ye, Like downtown Los Angeles.

1122
01:00:13.199 --> 01:00:17.119
Yeah you tell me, Yeah, you tell me, like the

1123
01:00:17.239 --> 01:00:20.480
Laser Corp. Couldn't have ended up at a Denny's parking lot,

1124
01:00:20.559 --> 01:00:27.159
or like Uncle Carl's backyard or Disney World barbecue got canceled.

1125
01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:30.599
Why some piece of junk landed in the backyard took

1126
01:00:30.639 --> 01:00:32.960
out the bar took out the barbecue and the playset.

1127
01:00:34.079 --> 01:00:37.519
Well, because they clearly needed that giant explosive hockey puck

1128
01:00:38.159 --> 01:00:40.880
to be in a place where they could skate around

1129
01:00:41.119 --> 01:00:45.480
and play hockey by shooting lasers at the explosive laser corps.

1130
01:00:45.679 --> 01:00:48.639
Like Scott, Scott, I love hockey, and that is one

1131
01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:51.639
of the most exciting games of hockey I've ever witnessed

1132
01:00:51.679 --> 01:00:54.159
on television. So I will not have you disparage it,

1133
01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:56.760
my friend. I want to go back to the Palace

1134
01:00:56.760 --> 01:01:01.159
of Doom, though, where we have the thirty foot part. Yeah,

1135
01:01:01.239 --> 01:01:05.039
the thirty foot fire breathing Mayan statue statue that comes

1136
01:01:05.039 --> 01:01:10.559
to life and fights a mecha Cobra Godzilla creature. What's

1137
01:01:10.599 --> 01:01:15.000
going on here? Wayne, because it's all about Realism's it's

1138
01:01:15.039 --> 01:01:16.079
so ridiculous.

1139
01:01:16.199 --> 01:01:20.119
I mean, why, why is the statue who suddenly sent you?

1140
01:01:20.320 --> 01:01:23.320
And what this robot? I mean, I don't know what

1141
01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:24.079
does it protect?

1142
01:01:24.119 --> 01:01:27.119
Okay, So I can understand if it's like some kind

1143
01:01:27.119 --> 01:01:30.519
of elaborate booby trap, because we get the Raiders of

1144
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:32.400
the Lost ark moment where Lady J steps on the

1145
01:01:32.440 --> 01:01:36.079
one stone that's clearly a different color than all the

1146
01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:39.920
other stones. Come on Lady J. And then it it,

1147
01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:42.559
It triggers it right, it comes to life. Was there

1148
01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:45.360
other treasure in there that we didn't know about about?

1149
01:01:45.840 --> 01:01:50.079
Yeah, the treasure of chaos tracked within the temple. What

1150
01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:53.639
I'm wondering is, why is it that the giant cobra

1151
01:01:54.519 --> 01:02:00.880
robo thing steps in like this thing that as god

1152
01:02:01.559 --> 01:02:04.960
thing is going to kill the Joe's pretty easily if

1153
01:02:04.960 --> 01:02:07.400
it didn't interfere. But it runs in and like shoulder

1154
01:02:07.480 --> 01:02:09.199
checks it. I'm like, why aren't you sitting in the corner,

1155
01:02:09.280 --> 01:02:12.239
bring in some motor oil, clean up the and then

1156
01:02:12.320 --> 01:02:13.199
knock it out.

1157
01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:17.679
That's poor, that's poor decision making on Kober's leadership. That's

1158
01:02:17.679 --> 01:02:21.719
major blood. Who sent that thing in is so and

1159
01:02:21.800 --> 01:02:25.119
he is a buffoon. Let's let's not let's not forget.

1160
01:02:26.639 --> 01:02:27.199
Did you say no?

1161
01:02:28.039 --> 01:02:28.119
No?

1162
01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:34.719
I said, oh, oh yeah, Let's move on, guys. I

1163
01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:39.000
do want to talk about the the epic showdown storm

1164
01:02:39.039 --> 01:02:43.079
Shadow versus not Skate, not snake Eyes. But you know what,

1165
01:02:43.119 --> 01:02:45.920
if anyone's got to step in, I'm glad it's old

1166
01:02:46.280 --> 01:02:50.039
Charlie Iron Knife Spirit mm hmm was one of my

1167
01:02:50.039 --> 01:02:52.559
favorite characters, one of my favorite figures to play with.

1168
01:02:52.599 --> 01:02:53.760
He was on all the missions too.

1169
01:02:54.199 --> 01:02:57.079
Absolutely, Yeah, especially with the inclusion of Freedom.

1170
01:02:57.400 --> 01:02:59.400
Yeah, that's the bird we want.

1171
01:03:00.039 --> 01:03:03.000
Let's not downplay this bird that can catch a throwing

1172
01:03:03.079 --> 01:03:03.960
star in its mouth.

1173
01:03:04.760 --> 01:03:08.880
You know, mid throw, Holly is doing shitty stand up.

1174
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:15.280
Freedom is intercepting throwing stars razor sharp throwing stars and

1175
01:03:15.320 --> 01:03:20.760
catching it in its beak and wiping out like several

1176
01:03:20.800 --> 01:03:24.480
cobra Cobra troops trying to scale the mountain after Spirit.

1177
01:03:25.239 --> 01:03:28.159
Freedom's awesome. I love that bird.

1178
01:03:28.519 --> 01:03:29.599
Oh yeah.

1179
01:03:29.719 --> 01:03:34.400
I like how they gave Spirit, that kind of gave

1180
01:03:34.440 --> 01:03:37.639
Spirit kind of the spiritual kind of connection that seemed

1181
01:03:37.639 --> 01:03:39.679
like with storm Shadow, Like it seemed like that that

1182
01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:40.760
continued in the cartoon.

1183
01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:45.039
I did like the respect that was going on there, right, Yeah,

1184
01:03:45.079 --> 01:03:47.400
Like they fight, but then even when they had to

1185
01:03:47.400 --> 01:03:51.239
take a breather, they kind of, you know, Stormshadow bowels

1186
01:03:52.119 --> 01:03:54.960
Spirit kind of it's not a ball that he does,

1187
01:03:55.000 --> 01:03:57.679
but it's some kind of gesture, right, and then they

1188
01:03:57.679 --> 01:03:59.719
get back into it. There's a lot of honor in

1189
01:03:59.760 --> 01:04:03.000
their at all, And I love that about this this moment,

1190
01:04:03.039 --> 01:04:07.239
and you're right it it carries over into the the

1191
01:04:07.800 --> 01:04:11.440
cartoon series where they fight in Scotland over the ex caliber.

1192
01:04:12.199 --> 01:04:15.199
They remember each other, there's still it's a very honorable fight.

1193
01:04:15.719 --> 01:04:18.920
Every time these guys hook up. I like the whole Okay,

1194
01:04:18.960 --> 01:04:21.199
I owe you one. Now I don't now we're even

1195
01:04:22.039 --> 01:04:23.519
I dig what's going on there, But.

1196
01:04:23.480 --> 01:04:28.320
It always makes me question what Storm Shadow's motive was.

1197
01:04:28.639 --> 01:04:31.719
You know, if he's so such an honorable person, why

1198
01:04:31.800 --> 01:04:34.280
is he working for Cobra? That's what's going on with

1199
01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:38.119
this What what is Cobra offering him that he couldn't

1200
01:04:38.119 --> 01:04:40.199
get somewhere else, like with g I Joe or whatever.

1201
01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:42.239
They never really explained I mean the comics they did

1202
01:04:42.280 --> 01:04:44.519
explain it very well. But yeah, here in the car too,

1203
01:04:44.559 --> 01:04:47.119
we have no idea. He doesn't seem like an evil person.

1204
01:04:47.719 --> 01:04:50.440
No, he's not. I think if you're if you're the

1205
01:04:50.519 --> 01:04:52.840
casual fan, and by casual, I mean you're not reading

1206
01:04:52.840 --> 01:04:56.119
the Marvel comic. He's just a cool ninja who's loyal?

1207
01:04:56.519 --> 01:05:00.119
Who's who's Cobra? Right? We don't know why, But to

1208
01:05:00.159 --> 01:05:03.039
your point, Wayne, we we understand that in the there's

1209
01:05:03.119 --> 01:05:05.239
there's motive going on there. There's a reason he's with

1210
01:05:05.320 --> 01:05:11.599
Cobra especially, it would have been a little bit better. Oh,

1211
01:05:11.599 --> 01:05:13.679
it would have been a great episode. Could you imagine

1212
01:05:13.719 --> 01:05:15.599
if they you know, think about all the stuff Larry

1213
01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:18.880
Hama gave us some of the some of the episodes

1214
01:05:18.920 --> 01:05:21.039
they could have done. I mean this this cartoon could

1215
01:05:21.039 --> 01:05:25.039
have ran for ten seasons. Uh if it if it

1216
01:05:25.119 --> 01:05:29.159
hadn't of collapsed on itself with the transferred to deck

1217
01:05:29.239 --> 01:05:30.519
and some of the other stuff.

1218
01:05:30.280 --> 01:05:30.760
That's going on.

1219
01:05:30.840 --> 01:05:34.559
But but uh yeah, I like the I like the

1220
01:05:34.559 --> 01:05:37.480
idea that they can even like they're helping each other,

1221
01:05:37.639 --> 01:05:40.880
like pull the the piece of the weather dominated out

1222
01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:42.559
of the water, and then they're like, okay, well we're

1223
01:05:43.039 --> 01:05:45.119
we're gonna die if we don't work together. So let's

1224
01:05:45.159 --> 01:05:47.639
let's put our heads together us think like there's you

1225
01:05:47.679 --> 01:05:51.079
can actually there's a you know, there's there's troubleshooting going on,

1226
01:05:51.199 --> 01:05:55.239
you know, there's problem solving. I like it. It's if anything,

1227
01:05:56.239 --> 01:05:59.119
and I know we were we weren't really caring about

1228
01:05:59.119 --> 01:06:01.719
this as kids. But the lesson there is that you

1229
01:06:01.760 --> 01:06:04.079
can you can work together, even with someone that you

1230
01:06:04.119 --> 01:06:06.760
don't like, when there's a problem, you can work together

1231
01:06:06.800 --> 01:06:08.400
you can put your you can set aside your difference,

1232
01:06:08.440 --> 01:06:11.119
isn't I I dig that about storm Shadow and Spirit.

1233
01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:11.880
I really do.

1234
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:17.440
G I Joel will return after these messages.

1235
01:06:22.039 --> 01:06:23.039
Now back to g.

1236
01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:29.239
I Joel, Let's talk about the roof of the world.

1237
01:06:29.559 --> 01:06:32.599
You got dreadnoughs. Okay, I know we're I know, we're

1238
01:06:32.599 --> 01:06:34.960
having fun. Lesson. We all love this, we all love

1239
01:06:35.000 --> 01:06:37.800
this show, we love these figures, we love the comics.

1240
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:40.159
But you know, it's also fun to have a little

1241
01:06:40.280 --> 01:06:43.039
little fun at their expense. Before I do that, I

1242
01:06:43.079 --> 01:06:45.239
will say I always appreciated the fact that when the

1243
01:06:45.320 --> 01:06:49.559
Joe's and the Cobras were in a cold area, they

1244
01:06:49.599 --> 01:06:53.920
actually were wearing like heavy jackets coats for yeah, you

1245
01:06:53.960 --> 01:06:57.039
know they I thought that was that was a little

1246
01:06:57.079 --> 01:07:00.039
extra on the on the part of the animators. But

1247
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:02.920
I dig the fact that they did that again. It

1248
01:07:03.000 --> 01:07:04.480
made it a little more realistic.

1249
01:07:05.760 --> 01:07:07.079
Well, it feels like a little bit of a nod

1250
01:07:07.159 --> 01:07:10.320
back to the original Jove figures, right, that was you

1251
01:07:10.400 --> 01:07:13.880
buy a figure and you just put you get several

1252
01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:16.719
outfits for several different missions, rather than having a bunch

1253
01:07:16.760 --> 01:07:17.360
of different.

1254
01:07:17.079 --> 01:07:18.960
Time Oh yeah, right, good call.

1255
01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:22.079
It did feel like in that scene, though, the one

1256
01:07:22.800 --> 01:07:27.039
character that should know more about clothing choices than anyone, Zartan,

1257
01:07:28.280 --> 01:07:32.039
instead of dressing in an actual coat, just puts on

1258
01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:34.880
a Furrier tank top, like if he and the Dreadnocks

1259
01:07:34.880 --> 01:07:36.320
are not dressing the right way for the roof of

1260
01:07:36.360 --> 01:07:36.679
the world.

1261
01:07:37.320 --> 01:07:42.280
He does refer to the Arctic sun. That's just the

1262
01:07:42.360 --> 01:07:43.159
regular son.

1263
01:07:43.000 --> 01:07:49.679
Buddy, Again, you're somebody who has an allergy to the

1264
01:07:49.760 --> 01:07:54.320
sun and you don't cover like I.

1265
01:07:54.320 --> 01:07:58.039
I dig the fact that they are dressed like Cone

1266
01:07:58.079 --> 01:08:01.840
and the Barbarian, however, and I believe it. I think

1267
01:08:01.880 --> 01:08:02.400
it's torch.

1268
01:08:03.400 --> 01:08:04.320
Yeah, I could be.

1269
01:08:04.519 --> 01:08:07.760
He was like, why aren't we using a helicopter? The hell?

1270
01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:10.679
Why are we? Why are we climbing? And you know

1271
01:08:10.719 --> 01:08:13.039
the answer is, well, you know it's the winds are

1272
01:08:13.039 --> 01:08:17.359
too too dangerous or there's some bullshit reason that that

1273
01:08:17.359 --> 01:08:21.840
that Zartan gives him. Meanwhile, after they've scaled this mountain,

1274
01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:26.239
m all of a sudden, they got they got bikes

1275
01:08:26.279 --> 01:08:29.399
up there. Yeah, how the bikes get up there?

1276
01:08:29.880 --> 01:08:32.640
Well, doesn't cobra get rescued by planes and helicopters?

1277
01:08:32.960 --> 01:08:34.920
Yes they do, Yes, they do.

1278
01:08:37.680 --> 01:08:40.760
So interesting, Huh.

1279
01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:42.439
They really gave Firefly that crappy job, and they were like,

1280
01:08:42.520 --> 01:08:44.640
all right, you're willing to hide in the tree. I

1281
01:08:44.640 --> 01:08:47.800
went to to stash these motorbikes, stash these other vehicles.

1282
01:08:48.640 --> 01:08:51.920
Don't let people use them, but just conveniently place them.

1283
01:08:52.319 --> 01:08:56.640
Firefly working hard to climb the ranks of Cobra. Good

1284
01:08:56.720 --> 01:09:01.840
job on that tree for hide out. Now, I want

1285
01:09:01.840 --> 01:09:06.920
you to take some equipment to the Himalayas. Why you

1286
01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:08.319
never know we might.

1287
01:09:08.159 --> 01:09:11.159
Need them because we hate you. You've been wearing that

1288
01:09:11.279 --> 01:09:14.159
mask for six weeks and you smell horrible.

1289
01:09:15.239 --> 01:09:20.239
Scott. There's a chance that these things are laundered, and

1290
01:09:20.640 --> 01:09:24.079
they they you're telling me that Cobra can't afford some fabreeze.

1291
01:09:24.600 --> 01:09:26.359
I'm sure there's the Cobra La laundromat.

1292
01:09:27.079 --> 01:09:28.439
There has to be. I mean, what they gotta do.

1293
01:09:28.439 --> 01:09:30.479
Wh they're underneath all that sand. They're not gonna just

1294
01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:31.399
walk out to the launder.

1295
01:09:32.159 --> 01:09:35.920
The world. The world Scott lived, we were all wearing

1296
01:09:35.960 --> 01:09:38.199
masks like Cobra. Just a few years ago. There was

1297
01:09:38.239 --> 01:09:45.359
a pandemic. You knows were fine then. So you know, Scott,

1298
01:09:45.399 --> 01:09:47.159
I think you've got a real problem with Cobra, is

1299
01:09:47.199 --> 01:09:49.840
what it is. I think he does Joe at all.

1300
01:09:49.960 --> 01:09:52.439
I mean, I'm gonna if I'm gonna go to the

1301
01:09:52.520 --> 01:09:54.920
recruiting office, I'm not going to the Cobra side because

1302
01:09:54.920 --> 01:09:58.079
that's but they pay in gold.

1303
01:09:58.880 --> 01:10:04.319
Yeah, I'm sure they old, I'm sure they do. Wayne,

1304
01:10:05.039 --> 01:10:07.960
your favorite moment from this mini series.

1305
01:10:08.720 --> 01:10:10.560
I would have to probably say, I mean, other than

1306
01:10:10.560 --> 01:10:12.680
the title sequence, I'm even though we made a lot

1307
01:10:12.720 --> 01:10:14.800
of fun of it, I love that that opening battle.

1308
01:10:15.840 --> 01:10:17.880
I really did like that opening battle. It was a

1309
01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:20.600
great way of opening the mini series. It was very exciting.

1310
01:10:20.640 --> 01:10:22.520
We have to see so many new characters, and a

1311
01:10:22.600 --> 01:10:25.199
lot of these characters. I really like this, this third

1312
01:10:25.239 --> 01:10:26.960
wave of Joe's, these new ones that are coming in.

1313
01:10:28.079 --> 01:10:31.000
But as a kid, that made me so excited. I was,

1314
01:10:31.119 --> 01:10:34.239
you know, after that episode, I was out playing with

1315
01:10:34.279 --> 01:10:36.239
my toys with my friends with these you know, re

1316
01:10:36.359 --> 01:10:39.880
creating these these battles. So I would say the beginning

1317
01:10:39.920 --> 01:10:41.359
the first episode is my favorite.

1318
01:10:42.000 --> 01:10:45.279
Dave best battle overall in this mini series.

1319
01:10:47.279 --> 01:10:49.600
I have to go with the Spirit and storm Shadow.

1320
01:10:51.079 --> 01:10:54.560
I love those two. We already discussed that, but that

1321
01:10:54.680 --> 01:10:55.960
is clearly my favorite battle.

1322
01:10:56.720 --> 01:11:01.399
Scott, favorite battle or favorite moment from this mini.

1323
01:11:01.279 --> 01:11:07.560
Series, I'll say, uh, they how they described this one.

1324
01:11:08.359 --> 01:11:11.439
I'll say the amusement Park of Terror when Okay, I

1325
01:11:11.600 --> 01:11:15.880
see because obviously you know Zartan and the Dreadnocks are favorites.

1326
01:11:17.439 --> 01:11:19.199
At this point in the story, he is able to

1327
01:11:19.199 --> 01:11:22.680
step into the role of Arcade from the X Men

1328
01:11:22.720 --> 01:11:28.199
comics and have his evil bumper cars, and we see

1329
01:11:28.239 --> 01:11:30.239
that the Dreadnocks have a lot of fun, like they're

1330
01:11:30.279 --> 01:11:32.079
just doubled over, like laughing at the whole thing.

1331
01:11:32.960 --> 01:11:37.760
Okay, we're gonna go, Dave, you understand the snaking format

1332
01:11:38.159 --> 01:11:42.199
of fantasy football, so and the fact that it's snaking,

1333
01:11:42.239 --> 01:11:43.880
So we're gonna we're gonna do a snaking thing. We're

1334
01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:46.479
gonna go. We're gonna go right back to Scott and

1335
01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:52.119
then Dave and then Wayne new characters. Scott, which knew Joe?

1336
01:11:52.319 --> 01:11:53.399
Did you enjoy the most?

1337
01:11:54.439 --> 01:11:56.960
I'm gonna give it to Lady j even though she

1338
01:11:57.159 --> 01:12:00.239
was basically the hawkeye of the G I. Joe team

1339
01:12:00.239 --> 01:12:01.960
as I was seeing it, like, she's always got these

1340
01:12:02.000 --> 01:12:05.680
convenient lances that have just the right power ability at

1341
01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:08.920
that time, so she has this magical wish quiver, which

1342
01:12:08.920 --> 01:12:11.319
seemed a little hard to believe, but she was such

1343
01:12:11.319 --> 01:12:14.239
a cool and such a strong character in the series,

1344
01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:16.680
and the fact that there was always this kind of

1345
01:12:17.119 --> 01:12:23.119
relationship with Flint, and maybe the hints of relationship with Shipwreck.

1346
01:12:24.920 --> 01:12:28.079
I just think, you know, building on what we already

1347
01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:32.680
have with Scarlett and cover Girl, having another strong female

1348
01:12:32.760 --> 01:12:34.279
character with Lady J. I think it was a great idea.

1349
01:12:34.680 --> 01:12:38.399
I'm jumping in here with Scott Lady J. I gotta

1350
01:12:38.439 --> 01:12:41.079
say it is the best new character. Let's not point out.

1351
01:12:41.119 --> 01:12:44.239
Let's not forget. During the convoy moment, she is driving

1352
01:12:44.760 --> 01:12:48.279
an awe striker with her foot. She's steering with her

1353
01:12:48.279 --> 01:12:51.920
foot so she can throw not one, but like three javelin.

1354
01:12:52.039 --> 01:12:55.680
She takes out three cobra claws. It's not the last

1355
01:12:55.720 --> 01:12:57.800
time she's gonna do this. She takes out I don't

1356
01:12:57.800 --> 01:13:01.000
know how many guys she takes out. When we go

1357
01:13:01.119 --> 01:13:05.720
to the Palace of Doom, she's doing it. She's she's

1358
01:13:05.720 --> 01:13:09.039
putting the moves on Flint, who clearly can't handle it.

1359
01:13:09.079 --> 01:13:13.960
She's she's fending off Shipwreck sexual assault. She is everywhere

1360
01:13:14.159 --> 01:13:16.960
and she's doing it. I love this woman. I think

1361
01:13:16.960 --> 01:13:19.760
she's one of the strongest leaders that wasn't officially a

1362
01:13:19.840 --> 01:13:23.760
leader in g I Joe Scott. This miniseries gave us

1363
01:13:23.800 --> 01:13:27.439
storm Shadow. It gave us Zartan, It gave us the Dreadnocks.

1364
01:13:28.079 --> 01:13:32.560
It gave us Firefly. A Crimson Guard briefly shows up

1365
01:13:32.600 --> 01:13:35.000
and takes some shit from Cobra Commander over a busted

1366
01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:40.920
computer setup. Who is your favorite.

1367
01:13:40.680 --> 01:13:44.319
New Cobra Actually, I'm gonna go with the It's interesting

1368
01:13:44.399 --> 01:13:46.279
to describe it that way because my favorite I'm gonna

1369
01:13:46.279 --> 01:13:47.279
pick is the Crimson Guard.

1370
01:13:48.079 --> 01:13:48.399
Really.

1371
01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:52.439
Yeah, Now it's a technicality because Zartan and the Dreadnocks

1372
01:13:52.439 --> 01:13:53.279
aren't Cobra.

1373
01:13:54.239 --> 01:13:56.600
Come on, don't don't be that guy.

1374
01:13:56.720 --> 01:14:00.199
Come on, I've been saying a lot about that, so

1375
01:14:00.439 --> 01:14:02.119
I'm not going to say that. I feel like, you know,

1376
01:14:03.119 --> 01:14:06.039
I just felt like they were They were a cool design,

1377
01:14:06.119 --> 01:14:07.600
and it felt like they were at next level of

1378
01:14:07.640 --> 01:14:09.880
Cobra troopers. It reminded me of like The Emperor's Rogue

1379
01:14:09.880 --> 01:14:12.560
Guard and Return of the Jedi, Like they seemed like

1380
01:14:12.560 --> 01:14:14.199
they were a little bit more elite, even though in

1381
01:14:14.239 --> 01:14:16.720
this one, yeah, the only one is Crimson Guard Bob

1382
01:14:17.039 --> 01:14:19.720
that gets crapped from cover and Commander Dave.

1383
01:14:20.640 --> 01:14:25.840
This miniseries gave us Blowtorch Cutter, Flint Lady, j Mutt

1384
01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:32.800
and Junkyard, Roadblock, Shipwreck, Spirit, Ripcord. I think in Grand

1385
01:14:32.800 --> 01:14:38.640
Slam favorite I'm now I'm reaching, But uh, favorite favorite

1386
01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:40.239
new Joe in this mini series.

1387
01:14:40.039 --> 01:14:43.399
Dave, there is no doubt my favorite. It comes down

1388
01:14:43.399 --> 01:14:47.760
to Spirit because my love of history, love Native Americans,

1389
01:14:47.760 --> 01:14:49.640
and the fact that they were able to bring that

1390
01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:52.760
into the Joe's just made me very, very happy as

1391
01:14:52.760 --> 01:14:55.760
a kid. So that was one of the figures. And

1392
01:14:55.760 --> 01:14:57.560
I think you mentioned it too. That figure went with

1393
01:14:57.640 --> 01:15:01.520
me a lot on missions just because of how freaking

1394
01:15:01.640 --> 01:15:02.640
cool he was.

1395
01:15:03.439 --> 01:15:06.199
All right, good, good, good answer. When you look at

1396
01:15:06.319 --> 01:15:09.520
Cobra's let's not forget scrap Iron, I think he was

1397
01:15:09.520 --> 01:15:13.680
in there. He was at some point the favorite new Cobra, Dave.

1398
01:15:14.079 --> 01:15:18.399
So, without question, Jeff, it is storm Shadow because the

1399
01:15:18.479 --> 01:15:23.159
dude is freaking awesome. He can fight in the whole

1400
01:15:23.159 --> 01:15:24.800
white But when you got him as a toy, he

1401
01:15:24.840 --> 01:15:28.079
came with that cool backpack with all the different and.

1402
01:15:28.039 --> 01:15:30.079
Stuff like that. Dude, Huh.

1403
01:15:30.159 --> 01:15:33.439
I used him as much as I used and in fighting,

1404
01:15:33.479 --> 01:15:35.359
but him and sneake Eyes had a lot of battles

1405
01:15:35.399 --> 01:15:37.960
in the backyard. But of course storm Shadow for sure.

1406
01:15:38.439 --> 01:15:41.920
Well we're talking figures original storm Shadow or hooded New

1407
01:15:41.960 --> 01:15:42.600
storm Shadow.

1408
01:15:42.960 --> 01:15:43.760
Ooh original.

1409
01:15:44.560 --> 01:15:46.880
Yeah, I had to throw it out there. Listen, there's

1410
01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:50.800
someone listening that loved that redesign. Sure, I've seen I've

1411
01:15:50.840 --> 01:15:53.399
seen the finest who we see at the cons all

1412
01:15:53.399 --> 01:15:55.760
the time. I've seen guys dress up as the hooded

1413
01:15:57.119 --> 01:15:58.920
storm Shadow. So I had to throw it out there

1414
01:15:58.960 --> 01:16:05.279
for him. Yep, Wayne, favorite New Joe. And I'll remind

1415
01:16:05.279 --> 01:16:10.279
you that Hawk is not in this series. Yeah, who

1416
01:16:10.359 --> 01:16:11.359
are you loving in this one?

1417
01:16:11.640 --> 01:16:11.840
Well?

1418
01:16:11.920 --> 01:16:14.640
You know what, I who I liked was always influenced

1419
01:16:14.680 --> 01:16:18.239
by what figures I had, And at that point when

1420
01:16:18.279 --> 01:16:21.520
this aired, Lady j or Flint didn't have their figures

1421
01:16:21.520 --> 01:16:23.319
out yet. They didn't come out for like another six months.

1422
01:16:23.359 --> 01:16:25.600
But uh so I'm gonna sy Mutton junk Yard because

1423
01:16:25.600 --> 01:16:28.079
I had that figured. I loved him. I mean, who

1424
01:16:28.119 --> 01:16:31.399
who doesn't like a dog? That dog? Yeah, it was

1425
01:16:31.439 --> 01:16:33.880
a great figure, come with the chain, the you know,

1426
01:16:33.960 --> 01:16:36.760
and you know it was just I love that figure

1427
01:16:36.840 --> 01:16:38.840
and I love the character in the series.

1428
01:16:39.039 --> 01:16:41.039
Yeah, who do you got on Cobra side? Wayne?

1429
01:16:41.960 --> 01:16:46.840
Well, Firefly again. I had the figure and it's I

1430
01:16:46.840 --> 01:16:48.680
don't know really how but I just liked it. I

1431
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:51.239
wish they used him more in the series. I mean

1432
01:16:51.720 --> 01:16:53.920
it was it was a cool figure. You know, he's

1433
01:16:53.960 --> 01:16:57.119
the master of a sabotage and you know that just

1434
01:16:57.159 --> 01:17:00.920
sounds cool to me, you know. And I mean nice

1435
01:17:00.920 --> 01:17:03.479
gray outfits. He had that green gun and I just

1436
01:17:03.479 --> 01:17:03.840
loved it.

1437
01:17:03.960 --> 01:17:05.720
Wayne. I gotta ask you something, though. Did did you

1438
01:17:05.760 --> 01:17:08.039
find a particular tree in your backyard to go put

1439
01:17:08.079 --> 01:17:10.479
him in? That hesoun out?

1440
01:17:10.760 --> 01:17:12.600
Yes, it was. There was a bush that I had

1441
01:17:12.680 --> 01:17:16.319
I dug out my mom's flowers and and stuff and

1442
01:17:16.359 --> 01:17:18.960
made like a pond and things, which she hated me

1443
01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:21.479
for doing that. But and there was some bushes right there,

1444
01:17:21.479 --> 01:17:24.039
and he'd always be in those bush ready to jump down.

1445
01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:28.600
I'm gonna I'm gonna close this, uh with one last

1446
01:17:28.640 --> 01:17:32.800
question for each of you. Uh. And since Wayne just

1447
01:17:32.880 --> 01:17:35.079
was talking about digging bush, I'm gonna I'm gonna throw

1448
01:17:35.119 --> 01:17:42.840
this one at him. Well, no comments, no, no, no,

1449
01:17:44.039 --> 01:17:49.479
I I swung I swung full for a reason. Wayne.

1450
01:17:49.479 --> 01:17:52.680
We're gonna play a quick game. I've got three phrases

1451
01:17:53.439 --> 01:17:56.039
I'm gonna I'm gonna give you. I want you to

1452
01:17:56.039 --> 01:17:59.680
tell me. Was it in the the Revenge of Coobra

1453
01:17:59.680 --> 01:18:05.479
minis or was it in a late eighties adult video

1454
01:18:07.359 --> 01:18:08.680
Here we go? Are you ready?

1455
01:18:09.479 --> 01:18:10.359
All right? Go ahead?

1456
01:18:10.800 --> 01:18:14.399
First phrase said by a woman, I'll help you out here.

1457
01:18:15.239 --> 01:18:18.359
She shouts, we're getting pounded.

1458
01:18:19.319 --> 01:18:19.760
Was it in.

1459
01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:22.880
Revenge of Cobra? Or was it in an adult video.

1460
01:18:22.760 --> 01:18:24.760
In the Lady that was Revenge Octobra?

1461
01:18:25.640 --> 01:18:29.359
That was Revenge of Cobra. That Scarlett, doing her damnedest

1462
01:18:29.399 --> 01:18:32.640
to defend Washington d C shouts out to the team,

1463
01:18:32.720 --> 01:18:33.840
we are getting pounded.

1464
01:18:36.159 --> 01:18:40.960
The answered probably both, all right, Wayne.

1465
01:18:40.960 --> 01:18:46.239
Next one, the phrase is ah the secret crevice?

1466
01:18:49.319 --> 01:18:50.560
This was it?

1467
01:18:50.680 --> 01:18:54.079
Was it? Was it the Revenge of Cobra? Or was

1468
01:18:54.079 --> 01:18:55.800
it a late eighties adult video?

1469
01:18:56.640 --> 01:18:58.000
Late eighties adult video?

1470
01:18:59.319 --> 01:19:01.439
I'm sorry, it was the Revenge of Cobra.

1471
01:19:01.760 --> 01:19:03.199
Uh.

1472
01:19:03.239 --> 01:19:06.760
After their insane climb up that that mountain to the

1473
01:19:07.039 --> 01:19:14.119
roof of the world, discovers the secret crevice? All right?

1474
01:19:14.239 --> 01:19:19.520
Last last one, Wayne, the phrase is take him from behind?

1475
01:19:20.439 --> 01:19:22.680
That Revenge of Cobra.

1476
01:19:23.039 --> 01:19:25.119
That is it is the Revenge of Cobra.

1477
01:19:25.239 --> 01:19:25.359
Uh.

1478
01:19:26.920 --> 01:19:30.560
The that them being referenced is uh none other than

1479
01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:35.000
Hondolu and roadblock shouted by some. I think it's some

1480
01:19:35.079 --> 01:19:41.039
televipers that take them from behind, and they took Jeff.

1481
01:19:41.119 --> 01:19:43.319
Jeff, Jeff, I changed my mind. You're not allowed to

1482
01:19:43.319 --> 01:19:44.720
borrow my j Joe figures.

1483
01:19:48.079 --> 01:19:51.199
Scott, your your issues are with Ron Friedman, not with me.

1484
01:19:51.279 --> 01:19:54.279
I didn't write this, Okay, I didn't. I didn't write

1485
01:19:54.279 --> 01:19:58.800
the dialogue, Scott. I'll ask you, let's book the next

1486
01:19:58.840 --> 01:20:02.680
family vacation. Scott, you have a beautiful family, They're awesome.

1487
01:20:03.439 --> 01:20:04.960
Where are you going to take them? I'm going to

1488
01:20:05.000 --> 01:20:07.439
give you some options here. You can go to the

1489
01:20:07.439 --> 01:20:12.000
Pit of Chaos, the Island of No Return, the Palace

1490
01:20:12.039 --> 01:20:16.039
of Doom, or the amusement Park of Terror. Where does

1491
01:20:16.039 --> 01:20:19.079
your family want to go, Scott?

1492
01:20:19.399 --> 01:20:22.079
I feel like Palace of Doom.

1493
01:20:22.439 --> 01:20:23.680
Take them to the Palace of Doom.

1494
01:20:24.079 --> 01:20:27.880
Yeah, because I think you know it's the only danger.

1495
01:20:27.920 --> 01:20:29.159
There is a.

1496
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:36.399
Very very stupid idol that is not going to be

1497
01:20:36.439 --> 01:20:38.319
any kind of a threat, and I don't have her

1498
01:20:38.399 --> 01:20:40.239
to deal with the vines of wetness and all this

1499
01:20:40.279 --> 01:20:43.119
other kind of stuff. Yeah, Palace of Doom.

1500
01:20:43.199 --> 01:20:45.920
Sure, I just just watch where you step, that's all

1501
01:20:45.920 --> 01:20:46.399
I'll tell you.

1502
01:20:47.520 --> 01:20:49.600
The amusement park's no different than any other day at

1503
01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:50.680
King's Ireland.

1504
01:20:51.560 --> 01:20:52.680
Exactly.

1505
01:20:53.720 --> 01:20:58.920
That's true. That is very true. Dave, you open the

1506
01:20:59.000 --> 01:21:02.800
dating app. You've got three women have responded to you.

1507
01:21:03.720 --> 01:21:06.000
I want to know who you're who you're taking on

1508
01:21:06.039 --> 01:21:10.199
a date first. The choices are Lady J, the Baroness,

1509
01:21:11.159 --> 01:21:12.439
and Hondolou West.

1510
01:21:14.199 --> 01:21:16.760
I don't even have to think about this one. Lady J.

1511
01:21:17.399 --> 01:21:21.880
Lady Jay, you're not You're not going after the Baroness, No, sir,

1512
01:21:22.159 --> 01:21:23.760
I love Lady J.

1513
01:21:24.279 --> 01:21:25.920
It's a trick question because they're all three of the

1514
01:21:25.920 --> 01:21:26.800
Barreness in disguise.

1515
01:21:29.520 --> 01:21:36.800
All right, all right, guys, I love this mini series.

1516
01:21:37.560 --> 01:21:39.079
I don't know that I love it as much as

1517
01:21:39.119 --> 01:21:40.840
Mass Device, but I still love it all the same.

1518
01:21:41.720 --> 01:21:43.960
It's fine, and I gotta tell you, I think we

1519
01:21:44.000 --> 01:21:46.479
owe it to ourselves at this point. We got to

1520
01:21:46.520 --> 01:21:48.880
be what we're probably what a year away from a

1521
01:21:49.000 --> 01:21:52.880
Rise or pinto Arise celebrating its fortieth anniversary. Can we

1522
01:21:52.920 --> 01:21:53.880
can we come back and do that one?

1523
01:21:53.880 --> 01:21:56.840
So two years, two years way, two years from that,

1524
01:21:56.960 --> 01:21:58.439
we've got another one. We got that what is it?

1525
01:21:58.479 --> 01:21:59.239
The Pyramid of dark.

1526
01:21:59.239 --> 01:21:59.960
Period of darkness?

1527
01:22:00.039 --> 01:22:02.159
Wait, yeah, you're right, we have we havet Pyramid of Darkness.

1528
01:22:02.159 --> 01:22:06.720
That's next year. Okay, that's that weird one with the

1529
01:22:06.319 --> 01:22:10.079
the magua that turned into giant metal monsters in space.

1530
01:22:10.319 --> 01:22:12.640
Ye oh, we're gonna.

1531
01:22:12.760 --> 01:22:13.800
We're gonna have fun with that one.

1532
01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:18.439
I can't wait to talk about the realism of space traveler.

1533
01:22:19.560 --> 01:22:22.720
Oh yeah, all right, well.

1534
01:22:22.560 --> 01:22:26.199
We definitely are coming back for that one. Yeah. I

1535
01:22:26.199 --> 01:22:28.479
think we owe it to ourselves. Like I said, I truthfully,

1536
01:22:28.640 --> 01:22:31.920
I thought last year when we did Mass Device, I

1537
01:22:31.960 --> 01:22:34.319
was like, you know what, we might not get a

1538
01:22:34.359 --> 01:22:36.279
lot of people listening to this one, and it was

1539
01:22:36.359 --> 01:22:39.119
one of our most downloaded episodes ever. So that tells

1540
01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:42.840
me a lot of our listeners are big on g

1541
01:22:42.960 --> 01:22:45.560
I Joe, They're big on nostalgia. They love this. This

1542
01:22:45.720 --> 01:22:50.159
the stuff that we grew up loving. So listeners, if

1543
01:22:50.199 --> 01:22:53.119
you're excited for the Pyramid of Darkness, I know it's

1544
01:22:53.159 --> 01:22:55.960
a year away, but if there's something else, maybe we

1545
01:22:55.960 --> 01:22:58.600
should we should take a look at here there's another

1546
01:22:59.039 --> 01:23:02.880
animated series, Scott, maybe there's another there's something else out

1547
01:23:02.920 --> 01:23:06.880
there that we should address in the near future. Listeners,

There it was.

1567
01:24:02.800 --> 01:24:06.800
I knew a little bit about his passion and his

1568
01:24:06.880 --> 01:24:10.039
knowledge doing the Shirley can't be serious? Was it worth

1569
01:24:10.039 --> 01:24:12.720
the rewatch episode? When we talked about Star Trek the

1570
01:24:12.760 --> 01:24:15.039

1577
01:24:34.760 --> 01:24:39.760
