Now That's What I Call Nostalgia

We're kidding about it teaching us all we know about the human body (some of us went on to read The Usborne Book of the Body, we'll have you know), but we are ABSOLUTELY not kidding about the space eugenics. It is ...
Today we take on Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a cultural behemoth that dared to ask the question, “What if instead of going to the bother of making a TV show, we just stitched together a bunch of clips from a random Japanese series and five minutes of some greasy teens doing gymnastics in a park?” We also do a lot of yelling about palaeontology and glutes.

Today we revisit The Trap Door, a British classic that took on the world with little more than a delightful theme song, an incredibly small production team, and an industrial quantity of plasticine. We also talked about cereal a lot. Like... a LOT.

Today we're heading to Canada courtesy of Degrassi Junior High, where we learn about lesbians, teen pregnancy, and brutal divine retribution for sassing your parents. We’re also made wildly uncomfortable by the endless bathroom scenes. SO MANY BATHROOM SCENES.

In this episode, things get real political: we talk police corruption, labour relations, workplace bullying, safety legislation, nationalisation of public services, and elaborate psychological torture. That's right, it's Thomas The Tank Engine!

As vengeance for last week's Speed Racer debacle, Esther made us all watch The Bots Master, a horrible show about horrible people being horrible to robots. The robots are also horrible, but it's not their fault. Also, Esther wants you all to know that she is deeply, deeply sorry.
