Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ!
Folks, Miles Mayhem is not doing well. You need go no further than the latest episode of MASK to see the once mighty VENOM leader kidnapping pandas from China and abducting a sculptor and... forcing the sculptor to desecrate moai (those giant heads on Easter Island) by imprinting the faces of VENOM agents on them. So, please, folks... please, send your hearts out to Miles Mayhem. He isn’t himself... because who in their right mind DOES ANY OF THIS?!?

Adam (00:13):
Welcome to the Mobile Armored Podcast Show, the
podcast that transforms into apro democracy demonstration.
My name is Adam Moore, alongsidemy co host, best friend, and
snowbound PJ McNerney.
Uh, how many feet of snow yougot there, or inches anyways?
PJ (00:31):
uh, we're prompt.
So we're on day three of thissnow storm up in the mountains,
and this is the third third daymy kids have off from school,
not because like, you know,we're not sort of equipped in
the mountains to handle snow.
Uh, it's more the case that itjust started dumping eight
(00:52):
inches, then five inches, thenanother nine inch.
Like, I, I, I think they werelike, uh, people will just die
if, like,
Adam (01:01):
It's a Venom plot.
PJ (01:04):
I, you know what, if it was a Venom plot, like, it'd be
them, um, and competence is notsomething I've
Adam (01:11):
No, well, let's, let's actually talk about that because
we're at episode 27, PandaPower, uh, in which Venom
abducts endangered panda bearsfrom China and Mask must rescue
Panda Power.
And we were talking right beforewe began.
this episode is garbage.
it's the worst episode of maskthat we've talked about so far,
(01:35):
you know, and going to give alot away right now.
Uh, I don't think anyonelistening is going to care.
Venoms.
goal in this episode is to getstone carvings made of their
faces.
Like on like the Easter Islandheads only of like miles and
racks and Vanessa and that sortof thing.
Why the pandas are there is a.
(01:55):
Whole other question thatdoesn't make any sense.
I think my first question isjust what kind of writer comes
up with an idea like this, whosits down and says, I've got a
great idea for mask episode.
PJ (02:08):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna actually, I'm gonna win the
Defense Fund, the Writer DefenseFund, uh, award today, okay?
So, I'm gonna, uh, this is mybest.
Um, the writers have beenwatching the steady decline of
Miles over Where, like,everything has just gotten
shittier and shittier, so he'strying to track, where is the
(02:32):
nadir of Miles psychologicalmakeup right now, that says,
Adam (02:39):
guess.
I mean, his goal is to haveVenom be immortalized, By
getting stone carvings made.
I mean, Venom didn't need toplan for this.
Venom could have just, I mean, Iguess they're hard up for cash,
and that's Fine, but theyprobably could have sold off one
of the vehicles and just paidsomeone to make stone carvings
of their faces.
But also, all of Venom is in onit.
(02:59):
Like, they're super psyched.
Like, they're actually have,later on they have an argument
over who gets to go next.
Yeah,
PJ (03:06):
really they're, they're doing graffiti, they're doing
graffiti and sculpture formIsland.
Adam (03:11):
a question I had.
Is it the actual Easter Islandheads that they're redoing?
PJ (03:17):
I think so, like, I think
Adam (03:19):
I just, I cannot understand a writer pitching
this idea that is in fullcontrol of their faculties and
saying, this is going to be agreat episode of television, not
animation or anything, that thisis just going to be a great
episode of anything.
PJ (03:37):
It's such a weird, you know, structurally speaking, it is so
weird because it's incrediblydisjoint.
Like, it really is two episodessquished together.
They're completely differentlocales.
It's completely different kindof like, like, that's it.
It's just basically like, oh, Iwant to be in China and Easter
Adam (03:57):
yeah.
This is what a space alien or anAI than this though.
PJ (04:05):
to
Adam (04:05):
type in write a plot for mask Involving statue carving
and pandas and see what it comesup with.
I bet it's gonna be better thanthis Are you gonna do it while
we're live
PJ (04:14):
Yeah, I'm going to open up Gemini right now.
Let's just see.
I'm not even going to use chatGPT.
crappier one.
Uh, that involves China, bears,panda bears.
And Episode title, The PandaProject.
(04:39):
NASC is called into action whenthey receive intel about a
mysterious organization known asthe Red Panda that's planning to
steal a priceless artifact froma secret museum in China.
The artifact, a powerful energycrystal, is rumored to have the
ability to
Adam (04:54):
is a mask episode!
PJ (04:55):
is already Better
Adam (04:57):
That is a mask episode right there.
I love it.
I'm into it.
This one, unfortunately, is not.
Okay, well let's dive into it,shall we?
We open in a bamboo forest, andthere's a bunch of pandas just
hanging around.
PJ (05:14):
I love it.
They have this shot of thesereally happy pandas that are
just chewing on bamboo.
And then there's this one bamboothat just like, sorry, there's
this one panda that just walksby that looks like he's to
Adam (05:25):
Well, the next cut though is to reveal a giant panda
statue being carved, right?
It's covered in scaffolding.
So it's like, it's like thispanda is looking at the statue
being carved.
We've got Matt standing at thetop of the scaffolding along
with Andre, who is the artist,that we learned Matt hired from
New York.
so, Matt hired an artist fromNew York to create a huge panda
(05:47):
statue.
And he says the whole world willmeet panda tomorrow in Peking.
What the heck is he talkingabout?
This is bizarre, even for Matt.
what?
PJ (05:59):
I am not sure.
Like, is this a continuation?
He knows that the Hong Kong likeis going to get turned over to
China and about 14 years.
So he's trying to lay in somegroundwork with the Chinese
government.
So he's giving him a big gift.
And I don't know, like, that'sthe problem is like, Why do you
hire an artist from New York tocome in to do this?
Adam (06:20):
Well, Scott and T Bob are there, of course.
And Scott says, dad really iscrazy about the pandas.
And I mean, again, he really is.
He is super excited about thisgiant statue.
PJ (06:33):
do you wonder if like, Scott is like, trying to figure out
why he's so emotive about aninanimate object
Adam (06:40):
yeah, I would imagine he's absolutely trying to sort it
out.
I wish dad was as crazy about meas he was about giant panda
statues.
Well, that night, Scott and TBob are lying in bed.
Scott says, listen to thepandas.
It's great to hear nature.
But then also I'm wondering whyis T Bob in bed if he doesn't
sleep?
PJ (07:04):
I, you know, we've seen this a few times.
I was wondering T Bob kind of,uh, an ersat?
So like,
Adam (07:12):
He's a bad bodyguard if he
PJ (07:14):
like he's going to jump up few times
Adam (07:15):
Suddenly, there's a huge wind and some banging is heard
outside.
And so Matt, Andre the artist,Scott and T Bob, they all run
outside.
And all the pandas are gone.
Except for one little babypanda.
Uh, Matt tells Scott and T Bobto take care of this baby panda.
And considering the trackrecord, I'm not sure this is a
(07:36):
good idea.
PJ (07:40):
I think we should point out that T Bob was programmed by
Alex Sector.
And so we don't know Also, allwe know is that the panda noises
are gone.
So how do
Adam (07:55):
You're asking questions that this episode can't answer.
you seek too much, my friend.
Well, we cut to Thunderhawk,transforming and taking to the
air.
We got Matt, Scott, T Bob, andthe panda all inside
Thunderhawk, and Scott asks, howcould all those bears disappear
like that?
(08:16):
And Matt's response is whateverit is I'm going to get.
And first, terrible dad joke.
Second, not the time or placefor a joke as we've mentioned in
the past, Matt.
Third, bare facts isn't even asaying to my knowledge, is it?
PJ (08:37):
It's not.
I mean, I just kept, I keptimagining the bare facts.
Uh, that's not even a realsaying.
Like, what are you?
get it.
So I have very little praise forthis episode.
There's a few And this is one ofthem.
It is actually a kind of a cool,like.
don't see this very much, butlike, it's hard to do in TD 3d,
(08:59):
this, uh, perspective, liketransformation where you kind
Adam (09:02):
They put all their time and effort into that one
PJ (09:04):
Um, I, that was, that was it.
That was, uh, Matt's in his suitand tie, very casually taking a
look.
I was kind of curious how much
Adam (09:14):
Yeah, all the time.
We now cut to the big pandastatue on a flatbed truck, and
Andre is going to take thestatue to where it's meant to be
installed, which is TiananmenSquare.
Gulp.
Uhhuh
PJ (09:31):
let's jump over to History Corner for a second.
Um, you know, mask is supposedto be taking you know, the
packet a lot in that year.
And just as a, as a historicalnote, Tiananmen means gate of
heavenly peace.
It's where in 1949.
Mao proclaimed the founding ofthe People's Republic of China.
(09:52):
It is perhaps more famouslyknown in the modern era in 89
where there was a massivestudent protest and massacre
that
Adam (10:01):
those are disputed facts.
from the point of view of theCCP, um, those are all, uh,
that's all fake news.
PJ (10:11):
You're
Adam (10:11):
Never, never
PJ (10:12):
uh,
Adam (10:13):
Never.
I don't know what you're talkingabout.
PJ (10:16):
So, so in 1985, this would have been the most logical place
to do this in terms of ahistorical landmark.
Uh, I will ask the question inthe world of mask this statue
actually what's going to sparkthe protests is Matt Tracker
actually with this giantcapitalist symbol that inspires
(10:36):
the students affronts thecommunists
Adam (10:38):
Why would the, the Communist Party allow them to
put like a giant stone pandacarving in Tiananmen Square?
It's one of the most importantspaces in modern China, and
they're just going to let themput a big giant stone panda in
there.
PJ (11:01):
I'm sure if you ask the writer this, the writer did a
lot of research and determinedthat this actually given the
tenor of the times.
Adam (11:09):
uh, a Chinese official named Chen Ho shows up.
And he's wearing typicalcommunist party gear.
They're very, you know, a gray.
Matching, you know, suit.
Um, turns out he's the NationalWildlife Representative.
Uh, and it turns out that otherpandas have gone missing.
And in fact, now, only a fewpandas remain in China.
Wow.
(11:29):
Matt asks Chin Ho for permissionto start looking into it.
And Chin Ho says it's fine, buthe won't be able to keep it from
the Chinese people for long.
Now first, I believe this mightbe the first time Matt has ever
asked for permission to doanything.
Number two, I'm 100 percentpositive that the CCP could keep
whatever they want from theChinese people,
PJ (11:51):
cases after the, the error of the internet as well.
Let's hop over to communist corefor a I want to talk about some
of the facts on the Um, Thepandas have gone missing.
This white capitalist the U.
S.
has been recently involvedpandas.
And this is communist China.
So, why isn't the first actionof the official to put Matt's
(12:15):
ass in information for where thepandas are?
How much is this?
Therefore, has Matt been sure heis untouchable?
And does that
Adam (12:28):
Yeah, I agree.
I think that Matt certainly hasthe resources to ensure that he
stays out of a Chinese penalcolony.
Um, not so much for Andre.
he seems to be pretty disposablein all this.
because in fact, later on in theepisode, as the plot proceeds,
uh, they're not necessarilygoing to rescue Andre so much as
they're going to rescue thepandas.
(12:49):
So meanwhile, we cut to EasterIsland in the most non sequitur
cut in a single episode of maskever.
So that's a new award, the nonsequitur cut.
and here's where all the pandasare.
there's not too many pandasthere.
So I guess China really didn'thave a lot of pandas, but
anyways, Miles and Cliff arestaring at the pandas and Miles
(13:13):
claims that soon Venom will Willbe immortalized.
Okay.
Vanessa and Sly show up inManta.
and they have even more pandas,but Miles is upset because they
didn't get the sculptor.
Like that's, what's reallyimportant for Miles to get.
and he actually kicks Sly andsend, sends them both out.
To get this sculptor What in theworld is going on here?
(13:36):
I mean, this the only guy whocan sculpt things in the world?
And that's why Matt flew himfrom New York.
And this is why Venom is tryingto capture him.
He's like, sorry, there's onesculptor left on planet earth.
And it's Andre from New York.
PJ (13:54):
we, I was going to make this comment later on, but it's does
Miles need to get him right now?
Like, Andre gets back to hisSoho apartment?
And
Adam (14:08):
they don't have that kind of money, PJ.
They're out of money.
We know they're short on cash.
They're working out of a shantyin the Amazon rainforest.
They don't have that kind ofmoney.
PJ (14:17):
Fine,
Adam (14:17):
Most importantly, kidnap him and bring him to Easter
Island.
PJ (14:24):
yes.
Adam (14:25):
Yeah.
Okay.
PJ (14:26):
Let's talk about this.
Location check.
Easter Island is in the PacificOcean, okay?
It's technically a part ofChile, which is 2, 000 miles
away.
So it is fucking remote.
The nearest island that has anyinhabitants is 1, 300 miles
away.
(14:46):
And I was doing some checkshere.
The distance from to EasterIsland is 10, 000 miles.
And if you flew at Mach 1, thespeed of sound, the entire time,
still take you 13 hours to getthere.
Which means that Sly and Vanessa
Adam (15:04):
more importantly, all these pandas have been cooped up
in a small crate for all thattime.
And if I can also just.
Touch on the, the mileage factorhere.
They want to be immortalized.
Like what they should do is likecarve miles his face on the
statue of Liberty for all theworld to see.
(15:25):
No one sees Easter Island likeever,
PJ (15:32):
It's true.
It's
Adam (15:33):
Now that's a great idea.
Miles wants to carve his faceand the rest of Venom's face on
Mount Rushmore.
That's a great idea.
That's right.
PJ (15:42):
Superman 2 did it.
come on.
You know, you like movies.
Um, so, so And again, like,assuming that they basically
have a hundred pandas and eachone is about 215 pounds, that's
like 11 tons on the top ofManta.
Okay, and they've been flyingfor 13 hours.
(16:04):
what does animals do?
Like, let me ask you a question.
Would you be able to?
Yeah, I don't 13 hours is a longtime, especially after I've just
eaten.
And this panda pen has not beencleaned.
We're gonna put a pin in thatfor now, until later in the
episode.
Because as far as we'reconcerned, the fuck around, fly
(16:26):
back, to get the sculptor.
And it's going to be 26 hoursbest case scenario.
So I mean, no
Adam (16:35):
Well, now we're back at the hotel, wherever in China, it
is Scott, is playing around withT Bob's wiring.
it turns out Scott has hot wiredT Bob.
So he'll be an incubator for thebaby panda.
this does not sound like a goodidea to hot wire T Bob to make
(16:56):
him warmer.
So could I please get aengineering corner here?
PJ (17:05):
Yeah.
Let's also point out that themore you know from last episode
was like not to fuck around withcircuits OK, engineering corner
it is.
In order to generate heat fromelectricity, you have to kind of
resistor.
And so, I, you know, Scott,who's done a lot of
(17:25):
modifications to TBOB, has tohave come up with some sort of
rig The temperature the same asthe mom, mama pond panda.
Um, and I, you know, look,assuming he got the temperature
correct, it should work, butwhat are the problems?
Well, if he didn't choose theright resistor or the right
(17:46):
resistance path.
And, and again, if you want toconceptualize this, think about
the inside of a toaster, whenyou see those wires get hot,
that's electricity going overthose, which is a resistive wire
gets hot.
So.
If you don't choose the rightresistor, either the panda will
freeze, Or they'll have BakedBaby Panda in there.
And, and if that's assuming hiswiring's right, if his wiring's
(18:10):
off somehow,
Adam (18:11):
So you, what you're saying is.
Not a good idea?
PJ (18:14):
So, I, I, it was not a good idea to
Adam (18:21):
The one panda left alive in China has been given to Scott
and T Bob Who's been recentlyrewired to act like an incubator
by Scott Well, we cut toTiananmen Square
PJ (18:36):
we're I,
Adam (18:36):
panda statue is ready for its unveiling.
Um, Andre tells Matt that he'dlike to check the facial
features one more time.
Like it was a bit of finishingtouches on the panda facial
features.
PJ (18:51):
I, I My response on this was like Matt should have slapped
him in the face and say, dude,not the fucking time.
Like, it's done.
Adam (19:02):
well, Scott and T Bob are in a marketplace right off
Tiananmen Square.
I'd be curious to know if thereis a sort of market right there,
but you know, PJ and I don't doany research, so we don't know.
suddenly, Mantis shows up andscoops up Andre from the top of
the scaffolding, by the way, inthe same box that all those
(19:26):
pandas had been in.
So what is Andre lying in duringthis 13 hour trek to Easter
Island?
PJ (19:37):
want to point out that the pacific sun is very, very
intense for 13 hours on this
Adam (19:45):
And will continue to bake and emit, you know, methane.
So my guess is when they get toEaster Island, what they have is
a dead sculptor from methanepoisoning.
PJ (19:55):
They'll open it a crack so I get some fresh air.
But yeah, like with like
Adam (20:00):
You smell
PJ (20:02):
God, and then
Adam (20:03):
but Andre does get scooped up by, uh, by Manta.
but in smashing through thescaffolding, Matt goes falling
to his doom.
What's gonna happen PJ?
Yes,
PJ (20:17):
Scott and Gloria are going to
Adam (20:18):
we'll find out after these messages.
PJ (20:20):
know.
Mask will be right back, and sowill Venom.
Now back to math.
know.
Adam (20:27):
And we're back.
When we left you, Matt wasfalling to his doom.
Scott and Gloria were alreadyspending the inheritance in
their minds.
Scott had his eye on a fewyachts.
But also, have you noticed thatthe Act Outs very often feature
someone falling to their doom?
PJ (20:49):
seems to be a really common trope that we've seen over and
over again.
Um, this is, I'll say this muchfor it.
It's unique in this case becausein every other instance where we
have Either a mask or a maskvehicle saves the day.
Adam (21:06):
no, it's
PJ (21:07):
And that is There's no Thunderhawk.
I loved Matt's
Adam (21:14):
He's almost more, it's almost, it's horrified, but also
somewhat shocked.
Like me falling to his doom.
PJ (21:23):
that's not supposed to happen.
it
Adam (21:25):
Well, Matt doesn't die.
Scott saves him by moving a cartfull of tomatoes under Matt to
catch his fall.
It's a pretty shallow cart, but,and those must be some tough
obstacles.
Chinese tomatoes.
Anyways, Matt survives and hestands up and he asks any
(21:45):
crackers to go with this tomatosoup
PJ (21:47):
Kenner of this like rescue is kind of intense because like
like before Matt like Emergesfrom the tomato cart.
It's like
Adam (22:02):
Yeah.
No, you got Scott lying on theground, like flailed on the
ground, dead.
You got T Bob on the ground,covered in blood, dead.
It seems like the baby panda.
But it looks like it's somethingout of The Godfather.
PJ (22:15):
It really does, and Scott, and I know I pointed this out to
Adam (22:19):
Yeah, no, it's like he's being
PJ (22:21):
Scott is drawn, it
Adam (22:22):
we have to put this, we'll put this picture up on Instagram
and you all can investigate itfor yourselves.
But it's um, it's stark.
it really, really is.
PJ (22:34):
Yeah, um, and then what the fuck up is, is up with uh, what
the fuck is up with Matt's joke,man?
Like, Like, he doesn't deal withthis kind of situation well.
And even Scott just kind ofignores
Adam (22:47):
he, he really is.
And, you know, if it was ever asituation like that and, you
know, I was, it was near death,but I was, I managed to skirt it
in front of my child.
My thought would actually be togo comfort my child and be like,
Hey, I'm okay.
It's going to be fine.
Like, don't worry about it.
Dad's still here.
And that's just like making ajoke and.
Moving on.
(23:11):
Yeah,
PJ (23:12):
He's making a joke.
What are
Adam (23:13):
Well, Matt hops into Thunderhawk and contacts the
mask computer, and we go intoour agent selection scene.
Alex Sector.
Well, we all know why he'schosen for this mission.
Although I thought they wantedto keep the pandas alive.
But okay, um, he's at his petshop with a ferret wrapped
around his neck like a scarf.
(23:34):
So, very much in character forAlex.
He gets the call and runs, uh,leaving the ferret to roam the
store.
So again, case in point, this isnot the man you want when the
safety of animals is at stake.
PJ (23:52):
Um, I wanna point out that it, it, the computer
specifically says animalexpertise
Adam (23:58):
next up is Bruce Sato.
He's in a park, kind ofsurrounded by all these little
kids, and he's throwingboomerangs, but like really
angry.
Like, he's got this angry lookon his face, and he's just
hucking boomerangs into the air,which are not coming back, by
the way.
And, um, do you think he stolethe toys from the kids?
And it's like Throwing themaway.
(24:19):
Like these aren't the ones Idesigned.
I don't want any kids to playwith them.
PJ (24:26):
Uh, close.
I think those are the ones hedesigned and they're not playing
with them, right?
genius.
Uh, so again, the computer sayslifter mask and design skills
essential.
Adam (24:42):
And our third member of the team is Hondo McClain.
Finally, he's back now it has,and we find him grading tests.
and he's sweating.
Is he okay?
when you're grading tests, youshouldn't be sweating.
Sweating that much.
and then he gets to call and hejust leaves and it's, which is,
you know, typical Hondo, but thestack of tests on his desk is
(25:07):
like three feet tall.
I mean, is he sweating becausehe waited all year to grade his
students work?
And it's just like gettingaround to it now.
PJ (25:22):
I think that's it
Adam (25:23):
Well, that's where I thought it was going.
I thought he's going to run awayand all the papers would fly
everywhere, but no, somehow theyremained in place.
PJ (25:30):
Yeah um, so again We'll kind of check in this later on the
computer says all terrainnecessary And my thought of an
all terrain vehicle would havebeen
Adam (25:41):
Also, I want to point out that
PJ (25:44):
the
Adam (25:44):
and Bruce, it was about their skillset and with Hondo,
it's just about the vehicle hedrives.
Uh, so what is the time check,from Boulder to Beijing?
(26:04):
So we're just sitting around
PJ (26:06):
estimated it looking at the numbers at around 15 hours.
enough time
Adam (26:12):
Well, 15 hours later, the mask team is gathered.
No idea what anyone was doingduring that time.
Uh, and they're trying to figureout where venom would have taken
the pandas.
And Alex points out that theyrarely survive outside of China
because of the lack of foodsource.
how does Alex know this?
I wonder.
PJ (26:34):
It's not his first rodeo with pandas.
Believe to keep them alive
Adam (26:37):
well they cross reference the food source and discover
that pandas can survive on theparsnips that grow wild on
Easter Island.
okay, we'll dive into that too.
But first I just want to touchon the fact that when Alex
reveals that piece ofinformation, he turns to Matt
and Matt, he and Matt are likeso close to, it's like a tight
(26:58):
closeup shot on the two of themand they're inches from each
other.
And I'm thinking.
Are they about to kiss?
PJ (27:09):
I know.
Yeah, there's so much sexualtension in that look.
Like Alex is so upset.
He married Gloria Cause likeMatt has like given that same
intensity right back at him.
I want, I want to back firstback and say Hondo is actually
the one who calls out the needto cross reference the food
source.
Adam (27:29):
Yeah.
PJ (27:30):
So, so I mean, was kind of
Adam (27:32):
Good job, computer.
Okay.
Well, So they got to go toEaster Island, right?
So Yeah.
I guess parsnips I guessparsnips don't grow anywhere
else
PJ (27:43):
evidence, okay, they gotta go to Easter Island.
Adam (27:46):
Uh huh.
So Thunderhawk takes off fromChina to fly to Easter Island!
How in the world is Thunderhawkcapable of flying such a long
distance?
PJ (28:03):
I mean, if guess the same radiation source can take as
Adam (28:07):
all right.
PJ (28:07):
fine.
Adam (28:08):
are in Thunderhawk, and they're flying over Easter
Island, so they got there prettyquick.
They notice Andre the artistcarving something, and it Looks
like the face of Miles.
What?
PJ (28:26):
where are you at?
your career as an internationalterrorist, when you've I need to
carve my face into Easter Islandso that future generations can
come here and
Adam (28:41):
Where are you in your career as a sculptor?
Where you get kidnapped byterrorists to carve their faces
on the heads on Easter Island.
Okay.
PJ (28:56):
I mean, to back to this.
The episode though, because I, Ido want to, I do want to address
that.
wondering when Mask would gethere.
So he anticipated Mask showingup.
Adam (29:08):
Thunderhawk does a low fly over.
But they won't open fire becausethe laser blasts might hurt the
pandas should have sent Alex
PJ (29:24):
Alex we know is a crack shot
Adam (29:26):
but but here's the crux of the episode right so the pandas
have no purpose in this episodewhatsoever But just to be like
not human shields, but pandashields it could have been
anything it could I mean theycould have been anywhere doing
anything You know, it's almostas if they said, okay, you have
(29:47):
to have an episode that takesplace in China and involves
pandas and carving of stones.
Oh yeah.
And also Easter Island, like,all right.
And even then the AI could dobetter than that,
PJ (30:00):
yeah, it's true.
I mean, why not ransom thepandas from China for a few
billion
Adam (30:08):
anyways, so Matt gets an idea for a plan.
He says, we'll call it PandaPower.
Uh, this episode is terrible.
It's just the worst.
I love it when they put thetitle of the episode in the line
of dialogue.
PJ (30:25):
name of
Adam (30:25):
and meanwhile, the mask jet lands and Rhino and
Firecracker roll out.
I have questions about the sizeof Easter Island and if it can
support the mask jet landing,but that's a whole other story,
Scott and T Bob also Arrive aswell.
what kind of father would bringhis son on a dangerous mission?
Oh, right.
It's Matt Tracker.
Worst father ever.
(30:47):
And it turns out they alsobrought the baby panda so he
could be reunited with his momand dad.
So we're all here.
Yeah,
PJ (30:58):
So I did have a question about this.
So I was trying to think thisone through.
Is it, is it more dangerous toleave Scott in a hotel in China
being the son of like connectedto the kidnapping of pandas or
bring him into Island?
Adam (31:16):
Well, cause Scott would do something stupid and you know,
would absolutely get
PJ (31:19):
think the
Adam (31:20):
By the way, Scott is particularly obsessed with the
baby panda, like just like hisdad is.
They both have a panda thing.
sure.
PJ (31:31):
Do you think he has a panda thing, or is he trying to
connect with his dad?
Adam (31:36):
Well, they're trying to connect the baby panda back to
its parents
PJ (31:38):
didn't they just take a panda out of China?
Are they any better
Adam (31:41):
Well look, operation Panda power goes into effect.
Uh, Bruce uses lifter to liftThunder Hawk into the air and on
top of a wooden crate that wasdelivered from the Jet Thunder
Hawk takes off, followed byRhino and firecracker on the
ground.
Meanwhile, Miles is gazing athis likeness.
Cliff and Vanessa get into anargument.
About whose face will be carvednext and I thought Venom was
(32:04):
pathetic last episode.
Don't know what to say.
I give up Uh huh,
PJ (32:16):
absorbed you have to be, knowing that mask is nearby now,
Adam (32:20):
okay if this were ancient times and this was the only way
to Immortalize yourself was toget yourself carved as like the
Sphinx or something like that.
Okay But it's 1985! Like,really?
You need to get your face carvedin stone to immortalize
yourself?
PJ (32:40):
really
Adam (32:41):
artist put a lot of work into that, though.
He, he seemed like he wasunhappy, but, he did a swell
job.
PJ (32:52):
He really did especially after flying for 13 hours and
panda poop Presumably notgetting any water.
He has he doesn't have newclothes
Adam (33:03):
Well, Venom sees Thunderhawk flying their way,
and they make fun of the crate.
PJ (33:15):
It's it's such a weird exchange
Adam (33:17):
That doesn't even
PJ (33:17):
Miles returns
Adam (33:18):
are you talking about?
Was this written in anotherlanguage and then translated to
English or it was like writtenin English, translated to
another language, and thentranslated back to English by
someone who doesn't trulyunderstand, like.
I don't know how to explain thisepisode away other than that.
Thunderhawk drops the crate.
Bruce calls it Panda Candy.
down, it reveals tons of bambooshoots.
(33:41):
And this draws the pandas awayfrom Venom.
So that's the whole, the wholeOperation Panda Power was to
fill a crate full of bambooshoots, drop them away from
Venom to lure the pandas away.
What?
PJ (33:59):
know what else, uh, draws pandas away?
Lasers.
And I, I want to ask you aphysics question,
Adam (34:08):
What's larger?
I believe a crate is larger thana
PJ (34:11):
from a laser?
Or a crate Okay.
Adam (34:19):
I had the same question.
Like, uh oh, they're gonna dropthose on the pandas.
Well, and I mean, we know thatmask never actually attacks
venom in a meaningful
PJ (34:32):
hit with the crate?
Adam (34:33):
they're drawing all the pandas away just to not take
very good shots at venom.
So that's the whole purpose ofpanda power.
anyways.
Venom takes off, and we enterthe end of episode Mask Venom
battle.
Firecracker and Jackhammer gohead to head.
Firecracker uses its hypnoheadlights, and Jackhammer
(34:54):
crashes into an Easter Islandstatue, which crushes it.
So we have a ragdoll awardnominee there.
Uh, meanwhile, Scott and T Bobare in motorcycle mode, racing
towards the battle.
Yeah.
for sure.
Uh, Rhino takes on Manta usingthe battering ram, and sends
Manta into, uh, into a roll.
But somehow, Vanessa survives.
(35:17):
So, another Ragdoll Awardnominee.
Yeah.
Mm
PJ (35:27):
Did you wonder
Adam (35:28):
She, yeah, Manta crashes a lot.
She survives Manta crashes quitea bit.
Then we have a good oldfashioned Thunderhawk versus
Switchblade battle.
Switchblade transforms into jetmode, fires some missiles,
Thunderhawk shoots them out ofthe sky.
Piranha gets a flat tire, whichsends Rax flying into the bamboo
shoots, which is, uh, anotherRagdoll Award nominee, so we got
(35:49):
some Ragdoll Awards all over theplace here.
hilariously, Sly gets chased bythe pandas, and actually, it's
not hilarious at all, it's morelike a Benny Hill episode, like,
all it's missing is Yakety Sax.
Miles transforms into helicoptermode.
He drops a ladder for his teamto climb on.
(36:10):
Uh, and Rax is so if Vanessagoes up and Cliff goes up and
Rax is the last and the pandas.
Who are notoriously nonviolent,by the way.
They claw at his pants,revealing his boxer shorts that
have a heart on them.
And now this truly is like aBenny Hill episode.
Like, I mean, but also can youimagine being the writer of
(36:38):
Rotex and then looking at thisepisode and saying, wait, you
want a panda to claw his.
His pants and reveal his boxershorts.
I don't think we're writing thesame show.
Awful.
Just awful.
PJ (36:57):
It's terrible.
I mean, there's honestly noexcuse on
Adam (37:01):
yeah.
Bruce says Venom's escaping andMatt says we have to let them
go, Bruce.
We have to take care of thepandas.
Well, your whole team is there,Matt.
Someone could have gone afterVenom because it's a helicopter
leaving Easter Island.
Where the heck is he going togo?
At Mach
PJ (37:25):
Okay, so I recheck everything I said earlier.
It's 2, 000 miles away from thecoastline of Chile.
The nearest human settlement is1, 200 miles away, so at Mach 1,
this means Vanessa, Sly, andCliff have to hold on for two
hours.
At Mach 1! So, I mean, like,they have to be, like, you know,
(37:48):
holding on for dear life.
For two hours, okay?
hours.
And if they have to go fasterthan that, they're probably not
holding on.
They're probably just
Adam (37:57):
you could fire one missile and take all four of
PJ (37:59):
Matt, you could take out three agents in one fell swoop
by just
Adam (38:03):
Well, Scott and T Bob reunite the baby panda with its
parents and the pandas lick TBob as a thank you.
And.
Scott says, I think you've beenadopted T Bob, and everyone
starts laughing.
PJ (38:14):
uh, doesn't matter.
Someone says.
Adam (38:21):
Okay.
So Hondo was being called infor, um, all
PJ (38:25):
grading of the agent selection from above.
Adam (38:32):
Alex was used for his, what, animal skills?
PJ (38:36):
so check.
Adam (38:43):
Uh huh.
PJ (38:44):
Yes, and as far as we can tell
Adam (38:46):
Okay.
And, uh, Bruce was brought alongfor his design skills?
Uh huh.
PJ (38:58):
his design skills were used to
Adam (39:00):
Computer did another great job there.
well, Scott gives the pandassome bamboo, and then shoves T
Bob to the ground.
And everyone laughs again, whichgives us a Roy Batty moment.
But why in the world does Scottjust shove him to the ground?
for no reason.
PJ (39:18):
such a bad look.
I, it's, it's, it's now the maskjet for a 13 hour.
Um, but I want to, I wanted liketo ask you a question though.
Like is let's just, let's justtake a beat.
Let's just think this Um, likethese pandas were kidnapped by
(39:41):
Venom and now they're here.
I and sold them for meat.
then China puts out a hit onVenom,
Adam (39:57):
them to
PJ (39:58):
And then Matt starts sending the
Adam (40:02):
Alex.
keep these ones,
PJ (40:03):
that classic movie.
of panda veal.
Adam (40:14):
Right,
PJ (40:17):
So what happens to him?
I mean, he still smells likepanda poo.
Adam (40:21):
hmm.
PJ (40:23):
He must,
Adam (40:23):
Yeah, he does.
PJ (40:25):
Matt now?
so
Adam (40:29):
Mm hmm.
PJ (40:30):
so Like, uh, if, you know, if secrecy is like paramount
here.
You know, what, what do you do?
I mean, they're flying thepandas back to China.
Matt is flying with Andre and THawk.
I just imagine Andre leaningover and say, Matt, I just want
you to know, I will never tellanyone about the secret of mask.
(40:52):
And Matt just looks at him andsays, I know Andre.
I know.
seatbelt, does a barrel roll tosee Andre screaming, falling
Adam (41:01):
Yeah, we Andre to my knowledge does not come back in
the series so Yeah, whateverhappened to Andre the artist
from New York.
Oh Yeah,
PJ (41:16):
I don't know.
Adam (41:16):
so in a way This might be the first Venom plot that
actually succeeded because Milesgot his statue.
PJ (41:31):
low bar
Adam (41:31):
we cut to the more you know.
These are getting worse by theday as well.
Scott and T Bob are building atreehouse.
and Scott sees a kid down belowrunning with sticks and Scott
tells him that could bedangerous.
And then T Bob falls out of thetreehouse while Scott and the
kid kind of shake their headssadly.
(41:52):
The end.
What in the world?
The end.
Uh huh.
PJ (42:05):
I I was at such a loss because like what's the lesson
because in theory the lessonsdon't run with sticks But then
Adam (42:12):
I mean, the typical thing would be like, then T Bob would
be running with a stick and hewould poke himself in his robot
eye.
Say, that's the last time I runwith sticks! Or some terrible
line like that.
But, I mean, really?
Don't run with sticks?
Did mom write this episode?
PJ (42:29):
involved with
Adam (42:30):
the episode ends as badly as it began.
So, this one is absolutely theworst one that I have seen so
far.
But, we still have our awards togive away.
Fly Racks Ragdoll Awards.
What do you got?
PJ (42:48):
Mm hmm.
Adam (42:49):
Yeah.
PJ (42:52):
I actually, I mean, like, some typical ones from Venom,
but I really felt like Mattdying from being knocked over
Adam (42:59):
no, I, I, I agree because he's falling headfirst into a
tomato cart that's maybe twofeet deep.
PJ (43:05):
he'd be dead.
Adam (43:06):
So he's, he's dead.
He's dead.
So RIP Matt.
We will see you next episode.
Uh, father of the year.
What do you
PJ (43:15):
I think giving Scott and T Bob that panda.
It's like, not only are they nowa target, they're now holding
one of China's pandas.
Adam (43:23):
I like that one.
I think taking Scott to theterrorists once again, is it
continuing a theme for Matt ofbringing Scott to danger?
but yeah, I would say givingScott and T Bob a targeted
panda, not a great idea.
PJ (43:42):
not a great idea.
I agree.
Adam (43:43):
let's wrap with the Buddy Hawks award.
What do you got?
PJ (43:45):
I actually, I didn't think I had one for this, and then I
realized I did.
I actually think it's a doubleaward.
Adam (43:51):
hmm.
PJ (43:51):
I think one basically is for Matt Tracker for bringing in a
white artist from New York Cityinstead of using local talent in
China to design the statue.
So basically just blowing thataway.
And then also for Miles Mayhemfor also kidnapping the same
said white artist from New Yorkinstead of using local talent
from Chile to design hislikeness.
(44:13):
So it's, it's,
Adam (44:15):
You know, I'm surprised with the lack of quality overall
in this episode from writer, I'msurprised that there aren't way
more Hawks award nomineesBecause there are a lot of bad
places this could go.
but I think they handled all theChinese characters.
Probably there's one.
(44:36):
Very well.
I mean, were no tropes thatconcerned me.
So, yeah.
So I think, Matt's, Westerncentric beliefs of local talent
of his own is Better thanChinese talent?
Sure, I'll go with that.
Well, this was the absoluteworst.
Will the next one be any better?
It's episode 28 called Blackout.
(44:58):
Venom has a new vehicle calledBlackout, which is capable of
draining power supplies.
I hope it's good.
PJ (45:05):
mean, I think it's better, I'll just say that much.
I don't know if you can get muchworse at this point in time.
I think I, I truly hope andbelieve we have hit the nadir of
all the episodes where likeVenom, maybe this really is the
moment Miles looks at himselfand says like, all right, what
am I doing?
I gotta, I gotta fix something.
Adam (45:25):
Well, we will find out, but for now this podcast has to
transform and head back to HQ.
I am Adam Moore.
PJ (45:32):
And I am PJ McNerney.
Bye.
Adam (45:34):
Bye bye.
PJ (45:36):
Bye.
The mobile armored podcast showis written, produced and edited.
Bye Adam Moore.
And PJ McNerney.
Welcome to the Mobile Armored Podcast Show, the
podcast that transforms into apro democracy demonstration.
My name is Adam Moore, alongsidemy co host, best friend, and
snowbound PJ McNerney.
Uh, how many feet of snow yougot there, or inches anyways?
PJ (00:31):
uh, we're prompt.
So we're on day three of thissnow storm up in the mountains,
and this is the third third daymy kids have off from school,
not because like, you know,we're not sort of equipped in
the mountains to handle snow.
Uh, it's more the case that itjust started dumping eight
(00:52):
inches, then five inches, thenanother nine inch.
Like, I, I, I think they werelike, uh, people will just die
if, like,
Adam (01:01):
It's a Venom plot.
PJ (01:04):
I, you know what, if it was a Venom plot, like, it'd be
them, um, and competence is notsomething I've
Adam (01:11):
No, well, let's, let's actually talk about that because
we're at episode 27, PandaPower, uh, in which Venom
abducts endangered panda bearsfrom China and Mask must rescue
Panda Power.
And we were talking right beforewe began.
this episode is garbage.
it's the worst episode of maskthat we've talked about so far,
(01:35):
you know, and going to give alot away right now.
Uh, I don't think anyonelistening is going to care.
Venoms.
goal in this episode is to getstone carvings made of their
faces.
Like on like the Easter Islandheads only of like miles and
racks and Vanessa and that sortof thing.
Why the pandas are there is a.
(01:55):
Whole other question thatdoesn't make any sense.
I think my first question isjust what kind of writer comes
up with an idea like this, whosits down and says, I've got a
great idea for mask episode.
PJ (02:08):
I'm gonna, I'm gonna actually, I'm gonna win the
Defense Fund, the Writer DefenseFund, uh, award today, okay?
So, I'm gonna, uh, this is mybest.
Um, the writers have beenwatching the steady decline of
Miles over Where, like,everything has just gotten
shittier and shittier, so he'strying to track, where is the
(02:32):
nadir of Miles psychologicalmakeup right now, that says,
Adam (02:39):
guess.
I mean, his goal is to haveVenom be immortalized, By
getting stone carvings made.
I mean, Venom didn't need toplan for this.
Venom could have just, I mean, Iguess they're hard up for cash,
and that's Fine, but theyprobably could have sold off one
of the vehicles and just paidsomeone to make stone carvings
of their faces.
But also, all of Venom is in onit.
(02:59):
Like, they're super psyched.
Like, they're actually have,later on they have an argument
over who gets to go next.
Yeah,
PJ (03:06):
really they're, they're doing graffiti, they're doing
graffiti and sculpture formIsland.
Adam (03:11):
a question I had.
Is it the actual Easter Islandheads that they're redoing?
PJ (03:17):
I think so, like, I think
Adam (03:19):
I just, I cannot understand a writer pitching
this idea that is in fullcontrol of their faculties and
saying, this is going to be agreat episode of television, not
animation or anything, that thisis just going to be a great
episode of anything.
PJ (03:37):
It's such a weird, you know, structurally speaking, it is so
weird because it's incrediblydisjoint.
Like, it really is two episodessquished together.
They're completely differentlocales.
It's completely different kindof like, like, that's it.
It's just basically like, oh, Iwant to be in China and Easter
Adam (03:57):
yeah.
This is what a space alien or anAI than this though.
PJ (04:05):
to
Adam (04:05):
type in write a plot for mask Involving statue carving
and pandas and see what it comesup with.
I bet it's gonna be better thanthis Are you gonna do it while
we're live
PJ (04:14):
Yeah, I'm going to open up Gemini right now.
Let's just see.
I'm not even going to use chatGPT.
crappier one.
Uh, that involves China, bears,panda bears.
And Episode title, The PandaProject.
(04:39):
NASC is called into action whenthey receive intel about a
mysterious organization known asthe Red Panda that's planning to
steal a priceless artifact froma secret museum in China.
The artifact, a powerful energycrystal, is rumored to have the
ability to
Adam (04:54):
is a mask episode!
PJ (04:55):
is already Better
Adam (04:57):
That is a mask episode right there.
I love it.
I'm into it.
This one, unfortunately, is not.
Okay, well let's dive into it,shall we?
We open in a bamboo forest, andthere's a bunch of pandas just
hanging around.
PJ (05:14):
I love it.
They have this shot of thesereally happy pandas that are
just chewing on bamboo.
And then there's this one bamboothat just like, sorry, there's
this one panda that just walksby that looks like he's to
Adam (05:25):
Well, the next cut though is to reveal a giant panda
statue being carved, right?
It's covered in scaffolding.
So it's like, it's like thispanda is looking at the statue
being carved.
We've got Matt standing at thetop of the scaffolding along
with Andre, who is the artist,that we learned Matt hired from
New York.
so, Matt hired an artist fromNew York to create a huge panda
(05:47):
statue.
And he says the whole world willmeet panda tomorrow in Peking.
What the heck is he talkingabout?
This is bizarre, even for Matt.
what?
PJ (05:59):
I am not sure.
Like, is this a continuation?
He knows that the Hong Kong likeis going to get turned over to
China and about 14 years.
So he's trying to lay in somegroundwork with the Chinese
government.
So he's giving him a big gift.
And I don't know, like, that'sthe problem is like, Why do you
hire an artist from New York tocome in to do this?
Adam (06:20):
Well, Scott and T Bob are there, of course.
And Scott says, dad really iscrazy about the pandas.
And I mean, again, he really is.
He is super excited about thisgiant statue.
PJ (06:33):
do you wonder if like, Scott is like, trying to figure out
why he's so emotive about aninanimate object
Adam (06:40):
yeah, I would imagine he's absolutely trying to sort it
out.
I wish dad was as crazy about meas he was about giant panda
statues.
Well, that night, Scott and TBob are lying in bed.
Scott says, listen to thepandas.
It's great to hear nature.
But then also I'm wondering whyis T Bob in bed if he doesn't
sleep?
PJ (07:04):
I, you know, we've seen this a few times.
I was wondering T Bob kind of,uh, an ersat?
So like,
Adam (07:12):
He's a bad bodyguard if he
PJ (07:14):
like he's going to jump up few times
Adam (07:15):
Suddenly, there's a huge wind and some banging is heard
outside.
And so Matt, Andre the artist,Scott and T Bob, they all run
outside.
And all the pandas are gone.
Except for one little babypanda.
Uh, Matt tells Scott and T Bobto take care of this baby panda.
And considering the trackrecord, I'm not sure this is a
(07:36):
good idea.
PJ (07:40):
I think we should point out that T Bob was programmed by
Alex Sector.
And so we don't know Also, allwe know is that the panda noises
are gone.
So how do
Adam (07:55):
You're asking questions that this episode can't answer.
you seek too much, my friend.
Well, we cut to Thunderhawk,transforming and taking to the
air.
We got Matt, Scott, T Bob, andthe panda all inside
Thunderhawk, and Scott asks, howcould all those bears disappear
like that?
(08:16):
And Matt's response is whateverit is I'm going to get.
And first, terrible dad joke.
Second, not the time or placefor a joke as we've mentioned in
the past, Matt.
Third, bare facts isn't even asaying to my knowledge, is it?
PJ (08:37):
It's not.
I mean, I just kept, I keptimagining the bare facts.
Uh, that's not even a realsaying.
Like, what are you?
get it.
So I have very little praise forthis episode.
There's a few And this is one ofthem.
It is actually a kind of a cool,like.
don't see this very much, butlike, it's hard to do in TD 3d,
(08:59):
this, uh, perspective, liketransformation where you kind
Adam (09:02):
They put all their time and effort into that one
PJ (09:04):
Um, I, that was, that was it.
That was, uh, Matt's in his suitand tie, very casually taking a
look.
I was kind of curious how much
Adam (09:14):
Yeah, all the time.
We now cut to the big pandastatue on a flatbed truck, and
Andre is going to take thestatue to where it's meant to be
installed, which is TiananmenSquare.
Gulp.
Uhhuh
PJ (09:31):
let's jump over to History Corner for a second.
Um, you know, mask is supposedto be taking you know, the
packet a lot in that year.
And just as a, as a historicalnote, Tiananmen means gate of
heavenly peace.
It's where in 1949.
Mao proclaimed the founding ofthe People's Republic of China.
(09:52):
It is perhaps more famouslyknown in the modern era in 89
where there was a massivestudent protest and massacre
that
Adam (10:01):
those are disputed facts.
from the point of view of theCCP, um, those are all, uh,
that's all fake news.
PJ (10:11):
You're
Adam (10:11):
Never, never
PJ (10:12):
uh,
Adam (10:13):
Never.
I don't know what you're talkingabout.
PJ (10:16):
So, so in 1985, this would have been the most logical place
to do this in terms of ahistorical landmark.
Uh, I will ask the question inthe world of mask this statue
actually what's going to sparkthe protests is Matt Tracker
actually with this giantcapitalist symbol that inspires
(10:36):
the students affronts thecommunists
Adam (10:38):
Why would the, the Communist Party allow them to
put like a giant stone pandacarving in Tiananmen Square?
It's one of the most importantspaces in modern China, and
they're just going to let themput a big giant stone panda in
there.
PJ (11:01):
I'm sure if you ask the writer this, the writer did a
lot of research and determinedthat this actually given the
tenor of the times.
Adam (11:09):
uh, a Chinese official named Chen Ho shows up.
And he's wearing typicalcommunist party gear.
They're very, you know, a gray.
Matching, you know, suit.
Um, turns out he's the NationalWildlife Representative.
Uh, and it turns out that otherpandas have gone missing.
And in fact, now, only a fewpandas remain in China.
Wow.
(11:29):
Matt asks Chin Ho for permissionto start looking into it.
And Chin Ho says it's fine, buthe won't be able to keep it from
the Chinese people for long.
Now first, I believe this mightbe the first time Matt has ever
asked for permission to doanything.
Number two, I'm 100 percentpositive that the CCP could keep
whatever they want from theChinese people,
PJ (11:51):
cases after the, the error of the internet as well.
Let's hop over to communist corefor a I want to talk about some
of the facts on the Um, Thepandas have gone missing.
This white capitalist the U.
S.
has been recently involvedpandas.
And this is communist China.
So, why isn't the first actionof the official to put Matt's
(12:15):
ass in information for where thepandas are?
How much is this?
Therefore, has Matt been sure heis untouchable?
And does that
Adam (12:28):
Yeah, I agree.
I think that Matt certainly hasthe resources to ensure that he
stays out of a Chinese penalcolony.
Um, not so much for Andre.
he seems to be pretty disposablein all this.
because in fact, later on in theepisode, as the plot proceeds,
uh, they're not necessarilygoing to rescue Andre so much as
they're going to rescue thepandas.
(12:49):
So meanwhile, we cut to EasterIsland in the most non sequitur
cut in a single episode of maskever.
So that's a new award, the nonsequitur cut.
and here's where all the pandasare.
there's not too many pandasthere.
So I guess China really didn'thave a lot of pandas, but
anyways, Miles and Cliff arestaring at the pandas and Miles
(13:13):
claims that soon Venom will Willbe immortalized.
Okay.
Vanessa and Sly show up inManta.
and they have even more pandas,but Miles is upset because they
didn't get the sculptor.
Like that's, what's reallyimportant for Miles to get.
and he actually kicks Sly andsend, sends them both out.
To get this sculptor What in theworld is going on here?
(13:36):
I mean, this the only guy whocan sculpt things in the world?
And that's why Matt flew himfrom New York.
And this is why Venom is tryingto capture him.
He's like, sorry, there's onesculptor left on planet earth.
And it's Andre from New York.
PJ (13:54):
we, I was going to make this comment later on, but it's does
Miles need to get him right now?
Like, Andre gets back to hisSoho apartment?
And
Adam (14:08):
they don't have that kind of money, PJ.
They're out of money.
We know they're short on cash.
They're working out of a shantyin the Amazon rainforest.
They don't have that kind ofmoney.
PJ (14:17):
Fine,
Adam (14:17):
Most importantly, kidnap him and bring him to Easter
Island.
PJ (14:24):
yes.
Adam (14:25):
Yeah.
Okay.
PJ (14:26):
Let's talk about this.
Location check.
Easter Island is in the PacificOcean, okay?
It's technically a part ofChile, which is 2, 000 miles
away.
So it is fucking remote.
The nearest island that has anyinhabitants is 1, 300 miles
away.
(14:46):
And I was doing some checkshere.
The distance from to EasterIsland is 10, 000 miles.
And if you flew at Mach 1, thespeed of sound, the entire time,
still take you 13 hours to getthere.
Which means that Sly and Vanessa
Adam (15:04):
more importantly, all these pandas have been cooped up
in a small crate for all thattime.
And if I can also just.
Touch on the, the mileage factorhere.
They want to be immortalized.
Like what they should do is likecarve miles his face on the
statue of Liberty for all theworld to see.
(15:25):
No one sees Easter Island likeever,
PJ (15:32):
It's true.
It's
Adam (15:33):
Now that's a great idea.
Miles wants to carve his faceand the rest of Venom's face on
Mount Rushmore.
That's a great idea.
That's right.
PJ (15:42):
Superman 2 did it.
come on.
You know, you like movies.
Um, so, so And again, like,assuming that they basically
have a hundred pandas and eachone is about 215 pounds, that's
like 11 tons on the top ofManta.
Okay, and they've been flyingfor 13 hours.
(16:04):
what does animals do?
Like, let me ask you a question.
Would you be able to?
Yeah, I don't 13 hours is a longtime, especially after I've just
eaten.
And this panda pen has not beencleaned.
We're gonna put a pin in thatfor now, until later in the
episode.
Because as far as we'reconcerned, the fuck around, fly
(16:26):
back, to get the sculptor.
And it's going to be 26 hoursbest case scenario.
So I mean, no
Adam (16:35):
Well, now we're back at the hotel, wherever in China, it
is Scott, is playing around withT Bob's wiring.
it turns out Scott has hot wiredT Bob.
So he'll be an incubator for thebaby panda.
this does not sound like a goodidea to hot wire T Bob to make
(16:56):
him warmer.
So could I please get aengineering corner here?
PJ (17:05):
Yeah.
Let's also point out that themore you know from last episode
was like not to fuck around withcircuits OK, engineering corner
it is.
In order to generate heat fromelectricity, you have to kind of
resistor.
And so, I, you know, Scott,who's done a lot of
(17:25):
modifications to TBOB, has tohave come up with some sort of
rig The temperature the same asthe mom, mama pond panda.
Um, and I, you know, look,assuming he got the temperature
correct, it should work, butwhat are the problems?
Well, if he didn't choose theright resistor or the right
(17:46):
resistance path.
And, and again, if you want toconceptualize this, think about
the inside of a toaster, whenyou see those wires get hot,
that's electricity going overthose, which is a resistive wire
gets hot.
So.
If you don't choose the rightresistor, either the panda will
freeze, Or they'll have BakedBaby Panda in there.
And, and if that's assuming hiswiring's right, if his wiring's
(18:10):
off somehow,
Adam (18:11):
So you, what you're saying is.
Not a good idea?
PJ (18:14):
So, I, I, it was not a good idea to
Adam (18:21):
The one panda left alive in China has been given to Scott
and T Bob Who's been recentlyrewired to act like an incubator
by Scott Well, we cut toTiananmen Square
PJ (18:36):
we're I,
Adam (18:36):
panda statue is ready for its unveiling.
Um, Andre tells Matt that he'dlike to check the facial
features one more time.
Like it was a bit of finishingtouches on the panda facial
features.
PJ (18:51):
I, I My response on this was like Matt should have slapped
him in the face and say, dude,not the fucking time.
Like, it's done.
Adam (19:02):
well, Scott and T Bob are in a marketplace right off
Tiananmen Square.
I'd be curious to know if thereis a sort of market right there,
but you know, PJ and I don't doany research, so we don't know.
suddenly, Mantis shows up andscoops up Andre from the top of
the scaffolding, by the way, inthe same box that all those
(19:26):
pandas had been in.
So what is Andre lying in duringthis 13 hour trek to Easter
Island?
PJ (19:37):
want to point out that the pacific sun is very, very
intense for 13 hours on this
Adam (19:45):
And will continue to bake and emit, you know, methane.
So my guess is when they get toEaster Island, what they have is
a dead sculptor from methanepoisoning.
PJ (19:55):
They'll open it a crack so I get some fresh air.
But yeah, like with like
Adam (20:00):
You smell
PJ (20:02):
God, and then
Adam (20:03):
but Andre does get scooped up by, uh, by Manta.
but in smashing through thescaffolding, Matt goes falling
to his doom.
What's gonna happen PJ?
Yes,
PJ (20:17):
Scott and Gloria are going to
Adam (20:18):
we'll find out after these messages.
PJ (20:20):
know.
Mask will be right back, and sowill Venom.
Now back to math.
know.
Adam (20:27):
And we're back.
When we left you, Matt wasfalling to his doom.
Scott and Gloria were alreadyspending the inheritance in
their minds.
Scott had his eye on a fewyachts.
But also, have you noticed thatthe Act Outs very often feature
someone falling to their doom?
PJ (20:49):
seems to be a really common trope that we've seen over and
over again.
Um, this is, I'll say this muchfor it.
It's unique in this case becausein every other instance where we
have Either a mask or a maskvehicle saves the day.
Adam (21:06):
no, it's
PJ (21:07):
And that is There's no Thunderhawk.
I loved Matt's
Adam (21:14):
He's almost more, it's almost, it's horrified, but also
somewhat shocked.
Like me falling to his doom.
PJ (21:23):
that's not supposed to happen.
it
Adam (21:25):
Well, Matt doesn't die.
Scott saves him by moving a cartfull of tomatoes under Matt to
catch his fall.
It's a pretty shallow cart, but,and those must be some tough
obstacles.
Chinese tomatoes.
Anyways, Matt survives and hestands up and he asks any
(21:45):
crackers to go with this tomatosoup
PJ (21:47):
Kenner of this like rescue is kind of intense because like
like before Matt like Emergesfrom the tomato cart.
It's like
Adam (22:02):
Yeah.
No, you got Scott lying on theground, like flailed on the
ground, dead.
You got T Bob on the ground,covered in blood, dead.
It seems like the baby panda.
But it looks like it's somethingout of The Godfather.
PJ (22:15):
It really does, and Scott, and I know I pointed this out to
Adam (22:19):
Yeah, no, it's like he's being
PJ (22:21):
Scott is drawn, it
Adam (22:22):
we have to put this, we'll put this picture up on Instagram
and you all can investigate itfor yourselves.
But it's um, it's stark.
it really, really is.
PJ (22:34):
Yeah, um, and then what the fuck up is, is up with uh, what
the fuck is up with Matt's joke,man?
Like, Like, he doesn't deal withthis kind of situation well.
And even Scott just kind ofignores
Adam (22:47):
he, he really is.
And, you know, if it was ever asituation like that and, you
know, I was, it was near death,but I was, I managed to skirt it
in front of my child.
My thought would actually be togo comfort my child and be like,
Hey, I'm okay.
It's going to be fine.
Like, don't worry about it.
Dad's still here.
And that's just like making ajoke and.
Moving on.
(23:11):
Yeah,
PJ (23:12):
He's making a joke.
What are
Adam (23:13):
Well, Matt hops into Thunderhawk and contacts the
mask computer, and we go intoour agent selection scene.
Alex Sector.
Well, we all know why he'schosen for this mission.
Although I thought they wantedto keep the pandas alive.
But okay, um, he's at his petshop with a ferret wrapped
around his neck like a scarf.
(23:34):
So, very much in character forAlex.
He gets the call and runs, uh,leaving the ferret to roam the
store.
So again, case in point, this isnot the man you want when the
safety of animals is at stake.
PJ (23:52):
Um, I wanna point out that it, it, the computer
specifically says animalexpertise
Adam (23:58):
next up is Bruce Sato.
He's in a park, kind ofsurrounded by all these little
kids, and he's throwingboomerangs, but like really
angry.
Like, he's got this angry lookon his face, and he's just
hucking boomerangs into the air,which are not coming back, by
the way.
And, um, do you think he stolethe toys from the kids?
And it's like Throwing themaway.
(24:19):
Like these aren't the ones Idesigned.
I don't want any kids to playwith them.
PJ (24:26):
Uh, close.
I think those are the ones hedesigned and they're not playing
with them, right?
genius.
Uh, so again, the computer sayslifter mask and design skills
essential.
Adam (24:42):
And our third member of the team is Hondo McClain.
Finally, he's back now it has,and we find him grading tests.
and he's sweating.
Is he okay?
when you're grading tests, youshouldn't be sweating.
Sweating that much.
and then he gets to call and hejust leaves and it's, which is,
you know, typical Hondo, but thestack of tests on his desk is
(25:07):
like three feet tall.
I mean, is he sweating becausehe waited all year to grade his
students work?
And it's just like gettingaround to it now.
PJ (25:22):
I think that's it
Adam (25:23):
Well, that's where I thought it was going.
I thought he's going to run awayand all the papers would fly
everywhere, but no, somehow theyremained in place.
PJ (25:30):
Yeah um, so again We'll kind of check in this later on the
computer says all terrainnecessary And my thought of an
all terrain vehicle would havebeen
Adam (25:41):
Also, I want to point out that
PJ (25:44):
the
Adam (25:44):
and Bruce, it was about their skillset and with Hondo,
it's just about the vehicle hedrives.
Uh, so what is the time check,from Boulder to Beijing?
(26:04):
So we're just sitting around
PJ (26:06):
estimated it looking at the numbers at around 15 hours.
enough time
Adam (26:12):
Well, 15 hours later, the mask team is gathered.
No idea what anyone was doingduring that time.
Uh, and they're trying to figureout where venom would have taken
the pandas.
And Alex points out that theyrarely survive outside of China
because of the lack of foodsource.
how does Alex know this?
I wonder.
PJ (26:34):
It's not his first rodeo with pandas.
Believe to keep them alive
Adam (26:37):
well they cross reference the food source and discover
that pandas can survive on theparsnips that grow wild on
Easter Island.
okay, we'll dive into that too.
But first I just want to touchon the fact that when Alex
reveals that piece ofinformation, he turns to Matt
and Matt, he and Matt are likeso close to, it's like a tight
(26:58):
closeup shot on the two of themand they're inches from each
other.
And I'm thinking.
Are they about to kiss?
PJ (27:09):
I know.
Yeah, there's so much sexualtension in that look.
Like Alex is so upset.
He married Gloria Cause likeMatt has like given that same
intensity right back at him.
I want, I want to back firstback and say Hondo is actually
the one who calls out the needto cross reference the food
source.
Adam (27:29):
Yeah.
PJ (27:30):
So, so I mean, was kind of
Adam (27:32):
Good job, computer.
Okay.
Well, So they got to go toEaster Island, right?
So Yeah.
I guess parsnips I guessparsnips don't grow anywhere
else
PJ (27:43):
evidence, okay, they gotta go to Easter Island.
Adam (27:46):
Uh huh.
So Thunderhawk takes off fromChina to fly to Easter Island!
How in the world is Thunderhawkcapable of flying such a long
distance?
PJ (28:03):
I mean, if guess the same radiation source can take as
Adam (28:07):
all right.
PJ (28:07):
fine.
Adam (28:08):
are in Thunderhawk, and they're flying over Easter
Island, so they got there prettyquick.
They notice Andre the artistcarving something, and it Looks
like the face of Miles.
What?
PJ (28:26):
where are you at?
your career as an internationalterrorist, when you've I need to
carve my face into Easter Islandso that future generations can
come here and
Adam (28:41):
Where are you in your career as a sculptor?
Where you get kidnapped byterrorists to carve their faces
on the heads on Easter Island.
Okay.
PJ (28:56):
I mean, to back to this.
The episode though, because I, Ido want to, I do want to address
that.
wondering when Mask would gethere.
So he anticipated Mask showingup.
Adam (29:08):
Thunderhawk does a low fly over.
But they won't open fire becausethe laser blasts might hurt the
pandas should have sent Alex
PJ (29:24):
Alex we know is a crack shot
Adam (29:26):
but but here's the crux of the episode right so the pandas
have no purpose in this episodewhatsoever But just to be like
not human shields, but pandashields it could have been
anything it could I mean theycould have been anywhere doing
anything You know, it's almostas if they said, okay, you have
(29:47):
to have an episode that takesplace in China and involves
pandas and carving of stones.
Oh yeah.
And also Easter Island, like,all right.
And even then the AI could dobetter than that,
PJ (30:00):
yeah, it's true.
I mean, why not ransom thepandas from China for a few
billion
Adam (30:08):
anyways, so Matt gets an idea for a plan.
He says, we'll call it PandaPower.
Uh, this episode is terrible.
It's just the worst.
I love it when they put thetitle of the episode in the line
of dialogue.
PJ (30:25):
name of
Adam (30:25):
and meanwhile, the mask jet lands and Rhino and
Firecracker roll out.
I have questions about the sizeof Easter Island and if it can
support the mask jet landing,but that's a whole other story,
Scott and T Bob also Arrive aswell.
what kind of father would bringhis son on a dangerous mission?
Oh, right.
It's Matt Tracker.
Worst father ever.
(30:47):
And it turns out they alsobrought the baby panda so he
could be reunited with his momand dad.
So we're all here.
Yeah,
PJ (30:58):
So I did have a question about this.
So I was trying to think thisone through.
Is it, is it more dangerous toleave Scott in a hotel in China
being the son of like connectedto the kidnapping of pandas or
bring him into Island?
Adam (31:16):
Well, cause Scott would do something stupid and you know,
would absolutely get
PJ (31:19):
think the
Adam (31:20):
By the way, Scott is particularly obsessed with the
baby panda, like just like hisdad is.
They both have a panda thing.
sure.
PJ (31:31):
Do you think he has a panda thing, or is he trying to
connect with his dad?
Adam (31:36):
Well, they're trying to connect the baby panda back to
its parents
PJ (31:38):
didn't they just take a panda out of China?
Are they any better
Adam (31:41):
Well look, operation Panda power goes into effect.
Uh, Bruce uses lifter to liftThunder Hawk into the air and on
top of a wooden crate that wasdelivered from the Jet Thunder
Hawk takes off, followed byRhino and firecracker on the
ground.
Meanwhile, Miles is gazing athis likeness.
Cliff and Vanessa get into anargument.
About whose face will be carvednext and I thought Venom was
(32:04):
pathetic last episode.
Don't know what to say.
I give up Uh huh,
PJ (32:16):
absorbed you have to be, knowing that mask is nearby now,
Adam (32:20):
okay if this were ancient times and this was the only way
to Immortalize yourself was toget yourself carved as like the
Sphinx or something like that.
Okay But it's 1985! Like,really?
You need to get your face carvedin stone to immortalize
yourself?
PJ (32:40):
really
Adam (32:41):
artist put a lot of work into that, though.
He, he seemed like he wasunhappy, but, he did a swell
job.
PJ (32:52):
He really did especially after flying for 13 hours and
panda poop Presumably notgetting any water.
He has he doesn't have newclothes
Adam (33:03):
Well, Venom sees Thunderhawk flying their way,
and they make fun of the crate.
PJ (33:15):
It's it's such a weird exchange
Adam (33:17):
That doesn't even
PJ (33:17):
Miles returns
Adam (33:18):
are you talking about?
Was this written in anotherlanguage and then translated to
English or it was like writtenin English, translated to
another language, and thentranslated back to English by
someone who doesn't trulyunderstand, like.
I don't know how to explain thisepisode away other than that.
Thunderhawk drops the crate.
Bruce calls it Panda Candy.
down, it reveals tons of bambooshoots.
(33:41):
And this draws the pandas awayfrom Venom.
So that's the whole, the wholeOperation Panda Power was to
fill a crate full of bambooshoots, drop them away from
Venom to lure the pandas away.
What?
PJ (33:59):
know what else, uh, draws pandas away?
Lasers.
And I, I want to ask you aphysics question,
Adam (34:08):
What's larger?
I believe a crate is larger thana
PJ (34:11):
from a laser?
Or a crate Okay.
Adam (34:19):
I had the same question.
Like, uh oh, they're gonna dropthose on the pandas.
Well, and I mean, we know thatmask never actually attacks
venom in a meaningful
PJ (34:32):
hit with the crate?
Adam (34:33):
they're drawing all the pandas away just to not take
very good shots at venom.
So that's the whole purpose ofpanda power.
anyways.
Venom takes off, and we enterthe end of episode Mask Venom
battle.
Firecracker and Jackhammer gohead to head.
Firecracker uses its hypnoheadlights, and Jackhammer
(34:54):
crashes into an Easter Islandstatue, which crushes it.
So we have a ragdoll awardnominee there.
Uh, meanwhile, Scott and T Bobare in motorcycle mode, racing
towards the battle.
Yeah.
for sure.
Uh, Rhino takes on Manta usingthe battering ram, and sends
Manta into, uh, into a roll.
But somehow, Vanessa survives.
(35:17):
So, another Ragdoll Awardnominee.
Yeah.
Mm
PJ (35:27):
Did you wonder
Adam (35:28):
She, yeah, Manta crashes a lot.
She survives Manta crashes quitea bit.
Then we have a good oldfashioned Thunderhawk versus
Switchblade battle.
Switchblade transforms into jetmode, fires some missiles,
Thunderhawk shoots them out ofthe sky.
Piranha gets a flat tire, whichsends Rax flying into the bamboo
shoots, which is, uh, anotherRagdoll Award nominee, so we got
(35:49):
some Ragdoll Awards all over theplace here.
hilariously, Sly gets chased bythe pandas, and actually, it's
not hilarious at all, it's morelike a Benny Hill episode, like,
all it's missing is Yakety Sax.
Miles transforms into helicoptermode.
He drops a ladder for his teamto climb on.
(36:10):
Uh, and Rax is so if Vanessagoes up and Cliff goes up and
Rax is the last and the pandas.
Who are notoriously nonviolent,by the way.
They claw at his pants,revealing his boxer shorts that
have a heart on them.
And now this truly is like aBenny Hill episode.
Like, I mean, but also can youimagine being the writer of
(36:38):
Rotex and then looking at thisepisode and saying, wait, you
want a panda to claw his.
His pants and reveal his boxershorts.
I don't think we're writing thesame show.
Awful.
Just awful.
PJ (36:57):
It's terrible.
I mean, there's honestly noexcuse on
Adam (37:01):
yeah.
Bruce says Venom's escaping andMatt says we have to let them
go, Bruce.
We have to take care of thepandas.
Well, your whole team is there,Matt.
Someone could have gone afterVenom because it's a helicopter
leaving Easter Island.
Where the heck is he going togo?
At Mach
PJ (37:25):
Okay, so I recheck everything I said earlier.
It's 2, 000 miles away from thecoastline of Chile.
The nearest human settlement is1, 200 miles away, so at Mach 1,
this means Vanessa, Sly, andCliff have to hold on for two
hours.
At Mach 1! So, I mean, like,they have to be, like, you know,
(37:48):
holding on for dear life.
For two hours, okay?
hours.
And if they have to go fasterthan that, they're probably not
holding on.
They're probably just
Adam (37:57):
you could fire one missile and take all four of
PJ (37:59):
Matt, you could take out three agents in one fell swoop
by just
Adam (38:03):
Well, Scott and T Bob reunite the baby panda with its
parents and the pandas lick TBob as a thank you.
And.
Scott says, I think you've beenadopted T Bob, and everyone
starts laughing.
PJ (38:14):
uh, doesn't matter.
Someone says.
Adam (38:21):
Okay.
So Hondo was being called infor, um, all
PJ (38:25):
grading of the agent selection from above.
Adam (38:32):
Alex was used for his, what, animal skills?
PJ (38:36):
so check.
Adam (38:43):
Uh huh.
PJ (38:44):
Yes, and as far as we can tell
Adam (38:46):
Okay.
And, uh, Bruce was brought alongfor his design skills?
Uh huh.
PJ (38:58):
his design skills were used to
Adam (39:00):
Computer did another great job there.
well, Scott gives the pandassome bamboo, and then shoves T
Bob to the ground.
And everyone laughs again, whichgives us a Roy Batty moment.
But why in the world does Scottjust shove him to the ground?
for no reason.
PJ (39:18):
such a bad look.
I, it's, it's, it's now the maskjet for a 13 hour.
Um, but I want to, I wanted liketo ask you a question though.
Like is let's just, let's justtake a beat.
Let's just think this Um, likethese pandas were kidnapped by
(39:41):
Venom and now they're here.
I and sold them for meat.
then China puts out a hit onVenom,
Adam (39:57):
them to
PJ (39:58):
And then Matt starts sending the
Adam (40:02):
Alex.
keep these ones,
PJ (40:03):
that classic movie.
of panda veal.
Adam (40:14):
Right,
PJ (40:17):
So what happens to him?
I mean, he still smells likepanda poo.
Adam (40:21):
hmm.
PJ (40:23):
He must,
Adam (40:23):
Yeah, he does.
PJ (40:25):
Matt now?
so
Adam (40:29):
Mm hmm.
PJ (40:30):
so Like, uh, if, you know, if secrecy is like paramount
here.
You know, what, what do you do?
I mean, they're flying thepandas back to China.
Matt is flying with Andre and THawk.
I just imagine Andre leaningover and say, Matt, I just want
you to know, I will never tellanyone about the secret of mask.
(40:52):
And Matt just looks at him andsays, I know Andre.
I know.
seatbelt, does a barrel roll tosee Andre screaming, falling
Adam (41:01):
Yeah, we Andre to my knowledge does not come back in
the series so Yeah, whateverhappened to Andre the artist
from New York.
Oh Yeah,
PJ (41:16):
I don't know.
Adam (41:16):
so in a way This might be the first Venom plot that
actually succeeded because Milesgot his statue.
PJ (41:31):
low bar
Adam (41:31):
we cut to the more you know.
These are getting worse by theday as well.
Scott and T Bob are building atreehouse.
and Scott sees a kid down belowrunning with sticks and Scott
tells him that could bedangerous.
And then T Bob falls out of thetreehouse while Scott and the
kid kind of shake their headssadly.
(41:52):
The end.
What in the world?
The end.
Uh huh.
PJ (42:05):
I I was at such a loss because like what's the lesson
because in theory the lessonsdon't run with sticks But then
Adam (42:12):
I mean, the typical thing would be like, then T Bob would
be running with a stick and hewould poke himself in his robot
eye.
Say, that's the last time I runwith sticks! Or some terrible
line like that.
But, I mean, really?
Don't run with sticks?
Did mom write this episode?
PJ (42:29):
involved with
Adam (42:30):
the episode ends as badly as it began.
So, this one is absolutely theworst one that I have seen so
far.
But, we still have our awards togive away.
Fly Racks Ragdoll Awards.
What do you got?
PJ (42:48):
Mm hmm.
Adam (42:49):
Yeah.
PJ (42:52):
I actually, I mean, like, some typical ones from Venom,
but I really felt like Mattdying from being knocked over
Adam (42:59):
no, I, I, I agree because he's falling headfirst into a
tomato cart that's maybe twofeet deep.
PJ (43:05):
he'd be dead.
Adam (43:06):
So he's, he's dead.
He's dead.
So RIP Matt.
We will see you next episode.
Uh, father of the year.
What do you
PJ (43:15):
I think giving Scott and T Bob that panda.
It's like, not only are they nowa target, they're now holding
one of China's pandas.
Adam (43:23):
I like that one.
I think taking Scott to theterrorists once again, is it
continuing a theme for Matt ofbringing Scott to danger?
but yeah, I would say givingScott and T Bob a targeted
panda, not a great idea.
PJ (43:42):
not a great idea.
I agree.
Adam (43:43):
let's wrap with the Buddy Hawks award.
What do you got?
PJ (43:45):
I actually, I didn't think I had one for this, and then I
realized I did.
I actually think it's a doubleaward.
Adam (43:51):
hmm.
PJ (43:51):
I think one basically is for Matt Tracker for bringing in a
white artist from New York Cityinstead of using local talent in
China to design the statue.
So basically just blowing thataway.
And then also for Miles Mayhemfor also kidnapping the same
said white artist from New Yorkinstead of using local talent
from Chile to design hislikeness.
(44:13):
So it's, it's,
Adam (44:15):
You know, I'm surprised with the lack of quality overall
in this episode from writer, I'msurprised that there aren't way
more Hawks award nomineesBecause there are a lot of bad
places this could go.
but I think they handled all theChinese characters.
Probably there's one.
(44:36):
Very well.
I mean, were no tropes thatconcerned me.
So, yeah.
So I think, Matt's, Westerncentric beliefs of local talent
of his own is Better thanChinese talent?
Sure, I'll go with that.
Well, this was the absoluteworst.
Will the next one be any better?
It's episode 28 called Blackout.
(44:58):
Venom has a new vehicle calledBlackout, which is capable of
draining power supplies.
I hope it's good.
PJ (45:05):
mean, I think it's better, I'll just say that much.
I don't know if you can get muchworse at this point in time.
I think I, I truly hope andbelieve we have hit the nadir of
all the episodes where likeVenom, maybe this really is the
moment Miles looks at himselfand says like, all right, what
am I doing?
I gotta, I gotta fix something.
Adam (45:25):

transform and head back to HQ.
