Back to the Eighties - When the Music Stops: Autobots Fight Back

This week's readalong confection is a return to the Ladybird Transformer universe, where the Autobots are learning more and more about the strange planet of Earth, and the Decepticons yet again get the wrong end of the stick and misunderstand Earth technology.

Such fun!

RCP - Episode 153: WORLD NINJA WAR!


The team over at the Random Crap Podcast continue discussing the Metal Heros franchise with the 1st episode of 'Sekai Ninja Sen Jiraiya' AKA 'World Ninja War Jiraiya' or just plain old 'Jiraiya'.

And before you ask no this guy is not a pervert! However with a title like 'World Ninja War' my first thought is a Godfrey Ho movie.

RCP - Episode 152: Metal Hero Afro!


For this week's episode I was happily joined by RandomCrap Ranger and StaticRift as we took a look at the first episode of Juspion which was originally fansubbed by Dead Fish Fansubs until both they and megaupload got shut down.

BTW we covered a few of the other Metal Hero shows around this time last year, it's just they got put to one side largely due to the Asylum screeners we used to recieve. However if your interested our reviews of Metalder, SpielbanGokaiger Vs Gavan and the Ameritoku adaption Beetleborgs are still online for those of you interested.

Also if you want us to cover some more Metal Hero shows why not drop us a line or leave a comment? Fansubbing of some of these shows seems to be pretty popular lately, heck even the Blue Swat movie got a English sub recently so please let us know. We'll gladly review/discuss some more episodes if people are interested.

Stardub - 2.22: Sontaran's Got A Hold Of My Heart

In an unusually topical episode (recorded scant hours before uploading) your intrepid team are returning to the most colourful and controversial eras of Doctor Who, that of the Sixth Doctor, Colin Baker.

Up for discussion is The Two Doctors, which sees Jamie and the Second Doctor, Patrick Troughton return to tackle the schemes of scientists, Sontarans and Servalan in a story written by Robert Holmes the most celebrated of classic Who scriptwriters. We follow that up with Timelash, as Paul Darrow and the Borad tangle with the Doctor, HG Wells and the sensational character find of 1985 – The Bandril Ambassador.

One of these will be feted, the other slated…

Ralph also tells us of his adventures at the Dimensons 2012 convention in Newcastle and his encounters with the Northern Charity Daleks in various areas of the hotel…

Back to the Eighties - Episode 126

This week sees Phil and Glenn looking at one of the quintessential 80's gameshows, with one of the quintessential 80's gameshow hosts - Bob Monkhouse! Yes folks, it's time to take a trip to Bob's Full House, where, as Bob himself would always say, the doors are always open for you!

There's also all the news that we can gather together this week, and a question or two about 80's computers, and a poser about immortality itself...hopefully we won't be playing the Game of Rassilon here at BTTE Towers though. Not quite yet, anyway.

This week's edition of the podcast that travels back through time in a rose-tinted DeLorean sees Jii joining Glenn and Phil once more, as they take a look at what YOU think about Disney's recent acquisition of Lucasfilm and the Star Wars franchise. But that's not all, as they also take a look at all the news that's fit to discuss this week, including the casting news of the fourth Transformers movie, as well as some Turtles Lego and Masters of the Universe news.

We also look at our 80's guilty pleasures, and Jii attempts to disturb the others into not sleeping tonight. *shuddertwitch*

RCP Vs FF - Episode 94: Code Highlander


THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE! ... In Code Lyoko ...

Found this fanfic whilst searching for some recording material. Overall it isn't bad and if your a fan of both shows I think you'll enjoy it.

Basically this fanfic is the authors reasoning behind why Ulrich dresses like this in Code Lyoko ... Yeah I know I wish I could think like this. Regardless please enjoy.

RCP - Episode 151: Trailer Time!


Originally this was going to be a mini episode about the new Digimon Fusion trailer, however we just couldn't stop talking ...

So instead we ended up covering trailers to a lot of things I'd love to review on this podcast, please enjoy.

Stardub - 2.21: Footloose and Fanzines Free!

The team are back and in their sights this episode – Souls Ark – a Doctor Who spin-off style film so bad the director took his name off it. This has to be good. Footloose 2011 is also watched/endured – depending on whether you side with Ralph or Andy.

The team report on their efforts to make Daquiris and get a thrilling insight into the domestic arrangements of one half of the team. Rounding things out we look at at the fanzine – Transformers: RetroGeneration One produced for the Birmingham Informal Gathering 4.

Back to the Eighties - Episode 124

It's Channel 4's 30th anniversary this week, and Back to the Eighties marks this with a look back at some of it's greatest (and not so greatest) moments! From lesbian kisses to doing anything to get on television, it's time to keep an eye on 4!

There's also plenty in the news to keep us occupied this week too, with a certain House of Mouse taking over a certain Star of Death...but do Glenn and Phil have a bad feeling about this, or will the Force be with us?
