Every so often, Taylor comes up with a toy line that Jeff has never heard of. This is one of those times. When that happens, Jeff's assumption is that Taylor really likes the line, because Taylor likes EVERY line. Sometimes, Jeff is wrong. Listen and find out if this is one of those times!

Well folks, it finally happened, Taylor suggested a toy line and knows NOTHING about it. I'm as shocked as you are. BUT that doesn't mean the guys didn't have a worthwhile discussion about one of the weirder lines we've discussed: Tiger Sharks! Are they tigers, or are they sharks? Listen and find out!

Tim Burton makes good movies. Sometimes. In 1996 he made a movie. It had potential. But that's about it. It also had a toy line that had potential. Some of that potential was met, and the guys will tell you all about it on this latest episode!

Man, when they said "more than meets the eye" they really meant "MORE than meets the eye" - Wave 3 of Transformers has over 40 toys in it! We didn't have time to discuss each one individually, but I think you'll find we covered the wave pretty exhaustively.

And here we are, at the end of all things. At least, the end of all things Kenner Star Wars Action Figures. Yak Face was never distributed in the U.S., but everyone seems to like him, so we decided to give "Joe the Marlboro Camel" some love. And Taylor revealed that he doesnt' understand cigarette marketing.

It's time for the last Ewok. No, tha'ts not a super depressing novel, it just so happens to be that this is the last ewok from the original Kenner line that the guys haven't discussed. Warok is a weird figure, in all the right ways. Listen as the guys discuss why this little guy actually creeps them out a little.

This week, Jeff reveals he never got the pun on Evil Lyn's name until he was a full(ish) grrown(ish) adult(ish). But that doesnt' mean he didn't appreciate the phenomenal work of the Four Horsemen on this figure. What does Taylor think? Take 3 guesses then listen to find out!

As we near the end of the original Kenner Star Wars line, we come to yet another Ewok. This time, it's all about Romba. Sure, his name may sound like a geometric shape, but there's nothing square about this guy. I apologize for that joke. Anyway, listen and find out what the guys think about this little guy!

It's everyone's favorite 3-eyed creep! The guys talk Tri Klops. Did the Four Horesman improve on an already-stellar design, or did they muck it up thrice? Listen and find out!

Remember that TV show that you loved that stuck around one season too long and just got weird and/or sad? Yeah....the same thing happens with toy lines. In this case, it happened to MASK. The racing series was a stretch but it worked. This...this, just, no. No, Kenner, No. Why? Never fear, the guys DID find some good things to say about thsi wave. Not much, but some good things. Listen and find out what they are!

    The Burden

    The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
