SURPRISE! Many thanks to the friends and Putty Patrollers that contributed to this episode, and apologies to those who would have contributed but didn’t because of my deception. Whether you’re busy watching the Lions suck at football, an MST3K marathon, or just having a normal Thursday because America’s NOT actually the center of the universe I hope you have a great day and know how thankful we are for you.

Bonus 31- Ultimate Kristmas Kombat 3
As our Kuest komes to an end, and a new year starts, I can't help but remember Abraham Lincoln's immortal words: "Be excellent to each other, and party on."
Really puts things into perspective.
I'm stalling for time because I didn't make sure Zack put a blurb and picture in here before last night. Here have this picture. Pretty weird, right?
Read MoreBonus 30 - Kombat Kristmas II

Bonus 28 - Genderfluid Cat Child
It's an out-of-left-field bonus episode as Mike is joined by four new guests: Frankie, Andrew, Jeff, and Kasey. The topic? The inexplicable, confusing, and occasionally creepy first episode of Code Lyoko! On the docket: the birth of a supervillain, two scenes we wished we could skip, a disco gym teacher, and a wikipedia summary that's more rewarding than the show.
Read MoreBonus 27 - No Pants, No Face, One Sleeve
Mike is joined by War and Beast's Jordan and Greg as they discuss the first episode of Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills! All of the characters are jerks, all of the effects are terrible, the costumes are baffling, and nothing makes sense. It's easily the worst thing we've watched on this podcast. It's also an absolute blast! Also discussed: getting a tattoo on your penis.
Read MoreBonus 26 - Krispy Kreme Presents Sabans Power Rangers
The entire crew gathers in The House of Krispy Kreme to finally, finally discuss the power rangers movie. Reactions are mixed, unanimous approval or disapproval goes to almost no aspects. Physical blows are narrowly avoided.
But one thing is for sure: Doughnuts Are Delicious.
Bonus 25 - The Morphing Grid Is Canonical
Luke, Zack, and Dustin are somehow, against the will of God, gathered together in one room, 1/3 very hungover, and ready to talk to you about a weird ass episode of Akibaranger.
At one point Luke gets so excited he physically grabs Zack by the shoulders and shakes him before placing an out of country call to Jules on her cell phone to discuss Power Rangers at 7 AM her time.
So its one of those episodes.
Bonus 24 - Teenagers With Altitude
On this special Valentine's episode, Zack is joined by his elusive wife Adrienne to talk about a show from HER childhood for a change, Airwolf. Or at least that's the pretense, really she's here to tell embarrassing stories about Zack, play with the cat on Microphone and point out all the very, very obvious things that Zack missed during the episode.
Also we discuss Ernest Borgnine's Weird Face, How to Serenade an Eagle, our love of hammy villains, Muammar Gaddafi, Sexy Tassle Dancing, and Airwolf: Hero of all children.

Bonus 22 - Sonic Anime Zone Act 1
The Blue Blur has hovered around the edges of this podcast for its entire run. Now, it's finally time to talk about Sonic, as we cover Sonic The Hedgehog: The Movie! What's more, it's a discussion so massive, we had to split it into two parts!
Mike and Matt are joined by War and Beast members Jordan, Emily, and Kendall as they spin dash their way to that spinning sign thing Robotnik always puts at the end of Act 1. What's the deal with that sign, anyway?

Happy Holidays, Putty Patrollers!
Join Matt, Molly, and host Luke as they begin the discussion of the long promised Mario Brothers Movie! Or at least, ostensibly that's why we're here, first we'll take any excuse to avoid talking about the movie: Marty McFly's Mommy complex, the Molly Movie Club, and of course, Cars 2.
In terms of actually talking about the movie: Molly is in love with Daisy, Luigi is the worst, We discuss the real villain of the Mario Franchise: SCAPELLI, and the most important question of all: Would you kiss Bob Hoskins on the head?!?
Bonus 17: Jeopardy!
Apropos of absolutely nothing whatsoever, here is Luke talking for thirty minutes about a Jeopardy! contestant from the 1980s.

Along the way we meet a mentor worse than Zordon, discuss a magic technicolor dream-bullet, argue over whether a monster is cute or horrifying, spread burger-argument madness to our guests, discuss the grossest henchmen ever, and finally have a special guest weigh in on Burger Argument 2: Taco V Sandwhich
