If Shockwave is so scary, why am I a little turned on? This datatrack contains discussion of the following topics; Revengeance, intra-factional bigotry, Miko's lackluster bedside manner, Shockwave getting jacked, employment finding woes, and…

S12E1: Amnesiac Situationship

After two years of being away, we are finally returning to Jasper, Nevada.

S11E24: It Was Peak

As we say goodbye to the rotten year of 2025 (good riddance), we must also say goodbye to the greatest season of television ever created. G1 season 2 is an entirely unhinged, nonsensical, at times funny on purpose (but usually not) clusterfuck of a show. It is the true essence and embodiment of Reagan era toy commercial tv in all the best and worst ways. So as we dread the barbaric yearly tradition of crushing thousands of New Yorkers under the Ball, we reminisce about peak, give out some awards, and announce where this podcast's next stop is going to…

S11E23: argh.

Normally we'd say B.O.T. has to be seen to be believed, but it sucks to watch, so I guess take our word for it.

Everything. Argh. Noise Space | Discord | Patreon This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
