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

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. Join us as we revisit Dick Tracy on Yesterdaze! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

Season 3 Episode 22: The Smurfs Start your week off great with a smurfy new episode of Yesterdaze! This week we revisit one of the pinnacle franchises of the 1980s (that somehow doesn't have a Secret Galaxy episode, ARE YOU KIDDING ME?), and find out the depths of Dutch's appreciation as we revisit The Smurfs! This brainchild of a misogynistic Belgian made a HUGE cultural impact here in the States, and continues to keep a presence in pop culture to this day. Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S3 Ep 21: The Gang's Favorite Video Games It's your classic list episode. This also manages to double as Nostalgia Nate's second pick! Joining us is Jason's oft mentioned little brother Ryan, co-owner of The Item Shop in Bloomington, as well as the creator of The RAPIDLY approaching Game Con! It's our favorite classic video games; From the days of arcades to playing our Sega Genesis, we dive into what made those early video games special for us. Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

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 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 Episode 18: The Raccoons We are kicking off a Patron Pick heavy May with one from our brother to the north, Nostalgia Nate, and it's one I've really been looking forward to covering! This week, we get whisked away to the world of The Evergreen Forest and Burt Raccoon when we revisit The Raccoons! We even get some musings about the series from some of our favorite Canadians as well. Join us, won't you?! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

Season 3 Ep 17 - The Police Academy Franchise We close out April STRONG as we revisit Police Academy! The films, the cartoon, the tv series, and you better believe the toys are discussed, too.

Season 3 Ep 16 - Mighty Max Our compliments to Mo for this tremendous pick! This week we visit the world of Mighty Max. Inspired by Polly Pocket, the property produced a slew of toys, a cartoon, and even a video game. Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

Season 3 Ep 15 - The California Raisins This week we revisit The California Raisins, a patron pick courtesy of our buddy Jacob aka Red Mountain Retro. Not only was this IP a real fave of Jason and Dustin's, it also has quite the back story. Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

Season 3 Ep 14 - ProStars We're kicking off April with a pick from our man Quip! Join us as we revisit DiC's ProStars. Originally proposed as a cartoon for ESPN, the show found its way to NBC's final season of Saturday Morning Cartoons. 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! It's been referenced, it's been asked for, even begged for…it was the third record of the night, so you know the energy is going to be completely batshit crazy. Knife, fork, tuck in shirt…because it's time for Food Fighters! Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

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

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

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! Enjoy! http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

Season 3 Ep 9: He-Man & The Masters of The Universe Welcome to March, spring is in the air, and my god…it's time for a big property. This week, the boys dive into the world of MOTU, namely the genesis of He-Man, the 80s toyline, and the series by Filmation. 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

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!

Season 3 Episode 7: Tank Girl It's our second Patron Pick of Season 3, and it's all thanks to our good buddy Atom Z. Join us as we revisit the 90's cult classic with a BANGER of a soundtrack...TANK GIRL! We naturally discuss the hard hitting matter of interspecies romance, give our man of the hour Atom Z a call, we shout out our producer Quip and his glorious YouTube debut, as well as my therapist who decided to pursue his passion of music!

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. Tune in to find out more! patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

A Very Bellamy Yesterdaze And so… a bit comes to fruition. Our good buddy Kevin sits in for HIS Patron Picked episode…Bill Bellamy. It's a Kevin episode centering on a ridiculous subject…things go off the rails, and quickly at that! Join us as we tip our cap to Bill Bellamy…because Kevin paid us… patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

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

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

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

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

Season 2 Episode 53 The Gang's Favorite Christmas Specials We close out the month, and Season 2, with our good buddy Nostalgia Nate's pick which prompted us to discuss our favorite Christmas Specials. We are joined by our friend Grace from Radio Rewind, allowing our little Podcasting Group to join together for the season finale for Season 2.

Be sure to head over to Allison's Channel and show her some love, be sure to tell her Catfish sent ya! Happy Holidaze, everyone! www.youtube.com/@RetroToyPrincess patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

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. Enjoy! https://www.yesterdazemedia.com patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

Season 2 Episode 50 The Story of The Star Wars Holiday Special Oh...My...God...So, it's Week 2, and it's Patron Mike's pick. He inflicted the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special on us. I really don't know what else to say. We are joined by local artist Jeremy Berkley who was gracious enough to sit in the muck with us this week. 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. Check out the links below to check those out, as well as Jeremy's Link Tree to see his art, it's pretty awesome! Come back next week for more holiday cheer!

Season 2 Episode 49 The Story of Home Alone December is here, and this whole month is nothing but picks! We handed the reins over to our producers for a Producers' Pick Christmas. Each week in December features a subject chosen by one of our producers, and we kick it off with a holiday classic picked by our lovely Mo. This week, we revisit Home Alone and how it came to be, as well as the subsequent media that followed. Enjoy! https://www.yesterdazemedia.com patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

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

Season 2 Episode 47 The Story of The Bozo Show This week's episode is RIDDLED WITH GRATEFULNESS!!! First and foremost, our subject this week is something near and dear to many, chosen specifically for someone I'm especially grateful for…SHAWNA! Being from Chicago, Shawna naturally grew up watching Bozo. She was even on an episode, too! Secondly, I'm so grateful for our intro and outro song that I figured it was high time to have Tyson of the Fantastic Plastics on the show!! Join us as we dive into the rise and fall of the longest running of the Bozo programs, WGN's The Bozo Show!
