S3 Ep 25Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

E

Season 3 Episode 25: Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Alpha, this is one extreme episode...get me four podcasters with ATTITUDE! Every decade, it would seem, has that one property that is a runaway hit or seems to be synonymous with the period. The 70's has Star Wars, the 80's has MANY to choose from so let's just say MOTU, and the 90s? Well, they had one that took the 'geist by STORM...which is crazy seeing as how Stan Lee tried the same thing several years ahead of this property's release. Join us and special guest Tyler from Radio Rewind as we revisit Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers on Yesterdaze! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S3 Ep 24Dick Tracy

E

Season 3 Episode 24: Dick Tracy (1990) Hot on the heels of 1989's Batman, Disney took a big swing at the classic comic character craze that was kicking off going into the 90s. After years in developmental Hell, Warren Beaty would emerge as the Director, Producer, and Star of this post Ishtar joint that ended up at Touchstone due to strong adult themes of action, as well as Madonna's nipples.

S3 Ep 20The Rocketeer

E

S3 Ep 20: The Rocketeer Oh the best laid plans of mice and men... This week features a pick from Patron Mike, and it really speaks to the cult classic status of certain properties, the perils of heavy handed studio interference, and how even the best efforts toward a film does not always lead to success. It's The Rocketeer, of course. Join us as we try to crack the code for what went wrong with this flick. http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S3 Ep 19UltraMan in the 80s!

E

S3 Ep 19: UltraMan in the 80s! Coming to you by way of Busirus aka Corey, the boys take a swing at the UltraMan franchise. Beginning in the 60s, this franchise is far too extensive to cover everything about the subject...but thanks to some discussions with Corey, we landed on focusing on UltraMan in the 1980s. Special thanks again to Corey for this pick, as well as working with me to find the right approach to diving into the property! Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

Season 3 Ep 13: Food Fighters Forget all the manners and etiquette you may have been brow beaten with as a kid, because today we're playing with our food!

S3 Ep 12C.O.P.S.

E

Season 3 Ep 12: C.O.P.S. A cool concept, sweet play gimmicks, sci-fi slickness, and cartoon with a banger of an opening, COPS was primed to be the next big property from Hasbro in the 80s. Having a little GI Joe DNA in it couldn't hurt either, right? One season, two waves, no lady figures…what happened? Tune in and find out as the boys revisit COPS aka Cyber COPS! Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S3 Ep 11Dinosaucers

E

Season 3 Ep 11: Dinosaucers It's time to prove to Jason that this insane idea was in fact a show. Brought to you by Batman's cinematic daddy and Coca-Cola, and ultimately done in thanks to that DICK of a Tracy hoarder Warren Beaty…Dinosaucers came and went in the US with little fanfare, but managed to make a huge mark in South America, ultimately becoming one of the rarest and most expensive toy lines to come out of the 80s. Join us as we explain why. Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

E

Season 3 Ep 10: She-Ra, Princess of Power In honor of her 40th anniversary, the boys complement last week's MOTU episode in their revisit of She-Ra: Princess of Power. Mattel rolled the dice on making the world of MOTU a family affair, and delivered She-Ra as a way to bring more of the girls' market over to MOTU. For the honor of Grayskull, give it a listen!

We naturally mention other facets and legacies of the property, and pay our respects to John Erwin. Join us, please, as we discuss easily one of the biggest and baddest brands to come out of the 80's, He-Man & The Masters of The Universe! Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S3 Ep 810 Insane Cinematic Toy Lines

E

Season 3 Episode 8: 10 Insane Cinematic Toy Lines We've referenced them, joked about them, and questioned the rationale that led to them...Now it's time to talk about some of them. Born from Atom Z's confusion of anthropomorphic kangaroos, we set out to have our first list episode of the year. Handpicked by all of our patrons, Dustin, Jason, and myself comes 10 toy lines born from media that was most certainly not for children! Bare witness to the continuing saga that is "Bandanaman," and marvel at this month's Herbie of the Month. Also, as an added supplemental treat, we're including a link to our friend Andrew of Gayties Toys for his "MIA 80's Ladies" for Toxic Crusaders. Enjoy!

S3 Ep 6The Story of Hammerman

E

Season 3 Episode 6 VENGEANCE IS MINE! New boot goofing and being loosey goosey can only take you so far…that said, the pettiness is real as Hammerman is inflicted upon Jason and Dustin! Easily the best example of DiC's waning quality heading into the 90's, Hammerman not only proved to be one of the oddest concepts for a cartoon…but also boasted the strangest cross promotion items one might ever see.

S3 Ep 4Pryde of The X-Men

E

Season 3 Episode 4 Pryde of The X-Men We close out the month revisiting a pilot that shows us what could have been! Created before financial turmoil put the kibosh on a series, and born of the budget for Robocops 13th episode, Pryde of The X-Men gave us a look at what an X-Men series in the late 80's may have been like. From an Australian Wolverine, to one of the greatest arcade games of all time...Pryde of The X-Men certainly packed on helluva wallop for a "mere" pilot. BONUS! We hinted at it all month, it just wouldn't be a Make Mine Marvel Month sequel if we didn't have a stinker in the mix. Join us as we revisit this gem of a pilot, as well as dropping knowledge on one of the WORST cartoons ever made. Enjoy! patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S3 Ep 3The Incredible Hulk (1982)

E

Season 3 Episode 3 The Incredible Hulk (1982) Welcome to week 3 of Make Mine Marvel Month, and brace yourself for a property that many have forgotten about altogether! Smashing its way into NBC's 1982 Fall Line Up, The Incredible Hulk spun out of a backdoor pilot on Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends and managed to last one season for 13 episodes. Why is it largely forgotten or more obscure? Simple: outside of some VHS releases we really have no way of watching this outside of clips on YouTube or places such as archive.org. Join us as we discuss this toon, and try to sort out why it is still missing from Disney+. Enjoy! patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S3 Ep 2Double Feature: Spider-Man/Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends (1981)

E

Season 3 Episode 2 Double Feature: Spider-Man/Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends (1981) Join us for a Spidey double feature as we revisit 1981's Spider-Man...AND 1981's Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends! Both cartoons debuted on the same day, both on NBC for their Saturday Morning Fall Line-Up, both had the same composer, nearly identical title cards, and the same character models...but different voice casts, as well as NO defined shared continuity. It's an interesting phenomenon that makes for quite the compelling story. Enjoy! patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S3 Ep 1Spider-Woman (1979)

E

Season 3 Episode 1 Spider-Woman (1979) Welcome to Season 3! We are kicking things off with a sequel to last January's Make Mine Marvel Month with Make Mine Marvel Month 2: Electric Boogaloo. I love that Jason hates that reference. We will be revisiting Marvel's Animated offerings of the 70's and 80's, and we kick it off with 1979's Spider-Woman. A single season consisting of 13 episodes, and WILDLY different from the comics, this largely forgotten toon definitely makes for an interesting revisit. patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

E

Season 2 Episode 51 The Story of We Wish You a Turtle Christmas This is starting to feel personal... It's Week 3 of Producers' Picks for Christmas. This week it's Quip's turn to bring the noise...and bring it he does. 1994 saw the release of the 22 minute affront to God called We Wish You a Turtle Christmas. This makes any live action material related to the Coming Out of Their Shells Tour look like it's on par with Citizen Kane. But, we had our fun with it, this was a great opportunity to touch on the legacy of the turtles, and damn if it doesn't speak to Quip's knack for making picks that really make for fun episodes.

Special shout out to friend of the show, and the Dragon to my Night Hawk, Marc Vibbert of The Holdo Maneuver Podcast for some great resources related to The Holiday Special.

E

Season 2 Episode 48 The Story of Shirt Tales Join us as we close out November, and our Month of Gratefulness, with a Patron Pick! Jacob of Red Mountain Retro went with a bit of a deeper cut, a property that may not be immediately recalled by most...Shirt Tales! This 80's IP was but one of several properties from the 1980's that started life as a greeting card, only to go on to get the animated series treatment, followed by a merchandising bonanza. Huge thanks to Jacob for his pick. Please head over to YouTube and show Jacob some love on his channel Red Mountain Retro. Enjoy! https://www.yesterdazemedia.com patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S2 Ep 44The Story of Werewolf: The Series

E

Season 2 Episode 44: The Story of Werewolf: The Series Fox was the brash new up and coming station, poised to take on the big 3 established networks. But you don't make a name for yourself playing it safe, you have to take chances the other won't take. This approach explains how a fairly well done, and frightening, series not only made it in to Fox's early line up, but also managed to last for two seasons, despite some of its drawbacks. Join us as we dive into 1987's Werewolf to close out Howl-O-Ween! Have a happy and safe Halloween!!! https://www.yesterdazemedia.compatreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S2 Ep 32 The Story of Mattel's Secret Wars Eight episodes back, the boys and I discussed how the end of MEGO's World Greatest Super Heroes line allowed DC to take their characters in a new direction, partnering with Kenner for the beloved Super Powers Collection. How did things fare for Marvel? A lackluster effort from Mattel, a tie-in comic book that ONLY connected to the line by way of the name, and odd little shields is how this pairing went down! Join us as we discuss the less successful result of MEGO's demise when we dive into Mattel's Secret Wars on Yesterdaze! https://www.yesterdazemedia.com/ patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

Join me and the boys, along with returning guest Best Friend Josh, as we discuss the many methods of delivering refreshing watery fun on those rough summer days. From sprinklers to garbage bag slip-n-slides, pools above and in-ground, to the actual creation of the real deal Slip-n-Slide, Crocodile Mile, and the epitome of water warfare by way of The Super Soaker, we got it all...on Yesterdaze! https://www.yesterdazemedia.com/ patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S2 Ep 30 The Story of Salute Your Shorts We're keeping the summer time vibes going as we jump to another summer camp gem from the 90s! Salute Your Shorts is the matter at hand today, and you better believe it had all three of us reminiscing about our own summer camp adventures. Join Dustin, Jason, and me as we look back at this fondly remembered offering from Nickelodeon's early foray into original programming, and get a taste of just how shifty things were at the beloved children's network even early in its history!

S2 Ep 29The Story of Camp Candy

E

The Story of Camp Candy The number of celebrity based cartoons Gen-Xers and early Millenials had to choose from was certainly astounding. Some enjoyed a great measure of success, while others were just bizarre choices (lookin' at you, Laveren & Shirley in the Army!). It seemed hard to make them land, but when they did we took to them well. One managed to last 3 seasons, with nearly zero supporting merchandise, only coming to an end when its parent station decided to call it quits on Saturday Mornings. Join me and the boys as we discuss the story of Camp Candy, and share our love of one John Candy in general. Make some s'mores, grab your bug spray, and enjoy the story of Camp Candy on Yesterdaze! https://www.yesterdazemedia.com/ patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast
