AVSEPod Episode 66: Trackdown - "The End of the World"

Howdy partners! This week, David, Carolyn & Austin travel back to the Old West to check out a show from what was once one of TV's dominant genres, the Western. Join us as we review an episode of Trackdown, in which Texaa Ranger Hoby Gilman arrives in town shortly after a conman who promises to help the townspeople stave off the end of the world (that only he says is coming) by building a wall to protect them from scary outside forces - for a price, of course. And if that sounds eerily familiar, wait til you hear the conman's name.

Join Ryan, Carolyn & Austin as they we discuss the ever-present specter of death, but also, backdoor pilots, R Kelly, and the unique combination of Pepsi & milk (?).

AVSEPod Episode 62: He-Man & She-Ra: A Christmas Special

By the power of Grayskull Christmas! This week, we return to the formative years of Austin's childhood as Christmas comes to Eternia in the form of a pair of Earth children accidentally kidnapped thanks to Orko's bungling, who proceed to teach Skeletor the true meaning of Christmas. Along the way, the Aluminum Four discuss frighteningly-negligent parents, winter coat-generating laser blasts, and, of course, penis helicopters.

AVSEPod Episode 61: Small Wonder - "Oooga Mooga"

Oooga mooga, everyone! Our special run of weekly Christmas episodes continues with an episode from Small Wonder, in which the patriarch of the Lawson family/creator of small wonders is convinced to help organize a fundraiser for a caribou-themed lodge in the interest of furthering his career. If that doesn't sound very Christmas-y, well, that's because it's not. Turns out Ryan got tricked by the internet into thinking this was a Christmas episode. Consider the endless razzing he receives for this by Carolyn, Austin & David to be our Christmas gift to you.

Merry Christmas! This week begins our annual marathon of Christmas-related episodes, and Carolyn kicks things off by leading us into a world populated by animated clay dinosaurs, pigs, and bells performing some of the all-time great Christmas songs, all under the watchful eye of famed animator Wil Vinton.
