ThunderCats Review: 3:109 & 3:110 "The Circus Train" & "The Last Day" (1988)

Welcome Back Bunglers! ⚡

It's time for more kitty cat fun with your Radical Retro Brothers! This week, we welcome a brand-new Bungler to the ThunderCats family and read a wonderful message that truly made our day. Listener Tim also asks a purr-fectly thought-provoking question: Why do we think ThunderCats has such a strong gay following?

Then it's on to the Season 3 finale two episodes! In the first episode, a bizarre traveling circus rolls into Third Earth, headlined by the mysterious Merna - allegedly "the most talented female mutant in the galaxy" - on her dramatic and highly suspicious farewell tour. Wilykat gets hypnotized and stows away with Captain Bragg, a bounty hunter! Later Kat winds up with full clown face paint. And yes, there are possibly animatronic polar bears involved - we don't make the rules.

In the second episode, the Ancient Spirits of Evil have finally had it with Mumm-Ra's HOA violations and give him a final ultimatum: defeat the ThunderCats and conquer Third Earth by sundown or be banished forever. As Mumm-Ra kicks his evil into overdrive, the ThunderCats must stop a chain reaction of devastating earthquakes that could tear the planet apart. Meanwhile, Snarf returns to the Book of Omens to face the fiery wrath of those mystical P.F. Chang-style dragons.

And while the world's falling apart? Lynx-O, Bengali, and Pumyra are still casually cruising in the Feliner like they're on a scenic road trip. Will the ThunderCats save the planet in time? Can Mumm-Ra finally get it together for once? And most importantly - will anyone help WilyKat get that clown paint off his face?

Today's double episode starts with "The Circus Train":

⚡"A bounty hunter known as Captain Bragg comes to Third Earth to help the ThunderCats get rid of the Mutants and the Lunataks. After a talk with Wilykat, Capt Bragg tricks the Thunderkitten into going with him."

Then in "The Last Day":

⚡"Impatient with Mumm-Ra failing them time and time again, the Ancient Spirits of Evil give him one final chance: destroy the ThunderCats within twenty-four hours, or face exile. To this end, he is granted extraordinary power, and grows to a gigantic size."

⚡Original Airdates: September 29, 1988 & September 30, 1988. ⚡
