Live from Jules' dining room, the entire Moncast crew gets together for an episode they were all kind of dreading that turned out to be pretty good, actually. Episode 41- "Seasick and Tired", JP title "The Hardened King of the Seas! MetalSeadramon!", DVD Title "Revenge of Metal Seadramon"

Tyler's moving and for his hubris has been deprived of Internet, so Jules and Joel try to keep the podcast going without him.  And boy oh boy does it keep going.  And going.  We briefly discuss the synopsis for the next episode of Tri before digging into another episode in which our heroes do nothing but travel for 20 minutes, but somehow it's still a refreshing change of pace from usual.  The lack of a desert might have something to do with it.  Oh, also Joel shares a harrowing tale of corruption, betrayal, and hard life lessons in rural America.  It's guaranteed to set more kids straight than the cumulative efforts of D.A.R.E.

We finally get to a truly good episode of the show, and Tai is revealed to be the true monster of the show the whole time! This week we watched episode 16 - "The Arrival of SkullGreymon" or in Japan "Dark Evolution! SkullGreymon!"

The 3 of us dig into episode 15 - "The Dark Network of Etemon" or in Japan "Etemon! The Stage Mounting of Evil" in which we meet the best and/or worst character ever. Depends who you ask.  Also the Aussie segment is back! Still no real ending or beginning because I honestly just sync the tracks and leave it to end whenever we stopped the recording. Also I'm lazy, but don't talk about that.

Jules is back after missing the finale of the last arc (she didn't miss much) and we're also joined by Digimon virgin guest buddy Steve, who knows nothing about the show except for what we've said on the podcast, for the first episode in the new arc! Except not much happens. Sorry.

Jules had something on and so she missed the end of the first arc. No biggy, because it wasn't a great episode anyway. Instead we invited our buddy Greg to watch episode 13 - "The Legend of the DigiDestined" or "Angemon Wakes!"  This time around we get: TK's New and Improved voice, Leomon learns to teleport, Sniper Garurumon, the giant devil, we learn where black gears come from I guess?, seriously though the devil is huge, Angemon's skin tight white bodysuit, we manage to set a new TTR (Time To Ryo) record, and as Jules missed out on our pre-recording traditions, she instead sent us her pre-recorded opinion on the New and Improved Arnott's Shapes. She's mostly right, except for one small thing.

We jump in to episode 12 "DigiBaby Boom" or "Adventure! Patamon and I", probably the first episode so far I would describe as truly bad (really it was awful).  Highlights are: Us spending 30 minutes before recording teaching Joel about Australia, because we really wanted to put off talking about this terrible episode, I mistake TK for Patamon and vice versa numerous time (even after being corrected I continue to mess it up), animation errors within the first 10 seconds of the episode, Elecmon's "fishing" technique, magical eggs having an instruction booklet written in "digicode" (it's Japanese), magical cribs, dad Elecmon, we manage a surprisingly long TTR (Time To Ryo), the two digimon wikis have beef, and our most exciting sign-off yet!

Spooky ghosts abound in episode 11 - "The Dancing Digimon" or "The Dancing Ghosts! Bakemon".  This time we have: Sexy pyramids, creepy facemasks, creepy bird laughs, we accidentally create an entire timeline in which all the digidestined fall into horrible depression after the death of Ikkakumon, I manage to canonically and factually answer a listener question (it's true), we also confirm that the digital world is also the morphing grid, there's terrible ghost rhyming, WHERE DID THAT CRATE COME FROM, and we all express our love for Gomamon. He's the best.

We're back to the original digi-crew of 3 to get down and dirty with episode 10 - "A Clue from the Digi-Past" or "Kentarumon the Guardian!"

No Jules this time, but I'm joined by Joel and guest buddy Gorge to watch episode 9 - "Subzero Ice Punch" or "Clash! The Freezing Digimon", in which there are no technical hiccups whatsoever. Disregard what you may have heard.

This week it's back to just the three of us with no guests (after the experience our guests had last time) as we watch through episode 8 - "Evil Shows His Face" or "Devimon! The Messenger of Darkness" in which we finally get to meet the villain of our 13 episode arc. In episode 8.

No Joel this week, but we have Jules, former guest Tal, and infamous new guest Luke to talk about episode 7 - "Ikakkumon's Harpoon Torpedo" OR "Roar! Ikakkumon" (alternate title "Who's this asshole?")

Jules returns and we're joined by new guest Zack for our most cactus filled adventure yet

This time we cover episode 6 - "Togemon in Toy Town" or in Japan, "Palmon Angrily Evolves"

So we're back from our week off to get into episode 5 - "Kabuterimon's Electro Shocker" or in Japan "Lightning! Kabuterimon"

Unforunately no Jules this time, so instead we have our friend Sam again (you may remember him from episode 3, even though he doesn't seem to)

Jules returns (on her birthday!) as we get to most terrifying episode yet, Episode 4 - Biyomon Gets Firepower or in Japan, Scorching Heat! Birdramon. 

No Jules this week, so instead we're joined by guests Tal and Sam to keep rolling through the early days of the show (before anything cool starts to happen).

We start the long trek towards seeing every Champion level member of the team with the second episode, "The Birth of Greymon". Or in Japan, "Explosive Evolution! Greymon!".

We kick the first episode off with a brief rundown of our personal history with the show, then jump right into the action with the episode "And So It Begins", or the Japanese title "Adrift? The Island of Adventure".

It's a bonus episode! Jules invites Tyler and Joel over to her house to watch some Digimon, but it was just a trick to get them to watch Summer Wars with her instead.  But it's a really good movie so they're pretty cool with it.  If you have a copy of the movie, feel free to watch along!
