Saturday mornings just got retro! Welcome to Episode 6 of "The Retro Rewind Experience." This week, your hosts Mat and Hal are joined by an animation legend, the one and only Buzz Dixon. Buzz has an impressive resume, having written for some of the most iconic '80s cartoons that defined our GenX childhoods - from GI Joe, Bionic Six, and Thundarr the Barbarian to Mork & Mindy, Transformers, Batman the Animated Series, and Dungeons & Dragons, among countless others.

Join us as we rewind time, delving into Buzz's fascinating experiences writing some of the most unforgettable cartoons ever created. Hear all about working with Stan Lee, the real reason Thundarr the Barbarian was cancelled, and a riveting tale from Mat's past involving a near-death experience with comic book legend, Jack Kirby.

Tune in for an episode jam-packed with anecdotes, insights, and a hearty dose of '80s nostalgia. Just like your favorite bowl of Saturday morning cereal, but with an extra helping of retro goodness!
