Welcome Back Bunglers! ⚡

Your Radical Retro Brothers, Ryan and David, are back with a special ThunderCats bonus episode, and this time we’re joined by the King of the Bunglers himself, Metesh, for an extra fun bonus chat!

We kick things off with fantastic questions straight from his very own Thunderpups, Aanya and Rohan, bringing fresh perspectives and plenty of heart to the conversation. Then we head into some possible lore as we explore Mumm-Ra’s origin, pulling from the WildStorm comics, expanded mythology, and all the fascinating twists that add extra layers to one of the greatest villains in cartoon history.

We also want to send a very special Happy Anniversary to Raksha & Metesh! We’re so grateful to celebrate with you and your wonderful family. Expect laughs, fun conversation, and the kind of connection that makes this community feel like home! Also shout out to our Zack for helping to edit this episode!

Welcome Back Bunglers! ⚡

As we race into the final episodes of our beloved series, your Radical Retro Brothers are thrilled to welcome our friend Metesh as cohost for an extra-long, double dose of kitty cat fun. Metesh has been one of our earliest and longest supporters of our ThunderCats reviews, and he is genuinely a beautiful soul. He has shared his family, his heart, and so many laughs with us along the way, and having him here for this home stretch feels really special.

Today's double episodes starts with "Ma-Mutt's Confusion":

⚡"Mumm-Ra unwraps a new device, the Babylonian Barbarian Boiler, that he plans to use on Cats' Lair. Mumm-Ra enlists Ma-Mutt to help, but Ma-Mutt just causes trouble. Mumm-Ra loses his patience and banishes him from the Black Pyramid."

Then in "Shadowmaster":

⚡"A rare lunar eclipse casts an eerie pale over the new Thundera. The eclipse opens a portal where the exiled Shadowmaster contacts the Ancient Spirits of Evil."

⚡Original Airdates: September 21, 1989 & September 22, 1989. ⚡

Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

Ryan and David are celebrating the 25th anniversary of “Valentine” (2001) this month, the early-2000s slasher where Cupid shows up and chooses chaos. We have the iconic mask, the “JM” cards, the nosebleeds, and enough bad decisions to fill a heart-shaped box!

We are talking the memorable moments like the hot tub scene and the unforgettable “no running water so I guess I’m washing my hair in the toilet” situation. Is it scary, silly, or just aggressively 2001? The answer is...yes!

Plus, we have a special message from writer Aaron Harberts with behind-the-scenes insight you do not want to miss.

"A group of women are stalked by a killer wearing a Cupid mask in the days leading up to Valentine’s Day, as they are forced to confront a cruel incident from their past.”

Stars: David Boreanaz, Denise Richards, Marley Shelton, Jessica Capshaw, and Katherine Heigl.

Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

Ryan and David dive fork first into “Simply Irresistible” (1999), the rom-com where food is sexy, feelings are contagious, and one very magical crab might be running the kitchen. Starring Sarah Michelle Gellar as Amanda Shelton, this movie serves up mood-altering meals that spark joy, tears, confidence, and yes… a little orgasmic energy on the plate.

Is it romance, fairy tale, or full-on culinary chaos? And then we ask the real questions: does it hold up? Did it ever? We’re breaking down the magic, the mess, the charm, the choices… and of course, the crab.

Also, fun Buffy-era trivia for fellow fans: Sarah filmed Cruel Intentions and Simply Irresistible back-to-back during the hiatus between Buffy the Vampire Slayer Seasons 2 and 3. Icon behavior. Grab a seat, Radical Ones. This one is simply irresistible. 🍽️🦀💖

"Amanda Shelton, who inherits her late mother's struggling restaurant. Despite her lack of culinary skills, she meets a mysterious man who sells her a magical crab that enhances her cooking abilities. As she navigates her new life, Amanda develops a romantic connection with Tom Bartlett, a department store manager, while also dealing with her girlfriend's erratic behavior. The film explores themes of love, culinary magic, and the unexpected power of food in relationships.”

Stars: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Sean Patrick Flanery & Patricia Clarkson.

Welcome Back Bunglers! ⚡

We’re heading into the final episodes of our beloved series, and this episode also carries a big emotional weight for us, because it marks the final appearance of our friend Tygra in the original series. Get ready for reckless flying, Snarf getting called crazy, and waking up something enormous that absolutely should have stayed asleep!

Also, a quick heads up before you get confused: This Mossland Monster does not smell like fresh pine or forest cologne like He-Man’s Moss Man. (But don’t worry, it still very much gives off “we can turn you into a shrub” energy!)

Lets get mossy…and let’s give Tygra the send-off he deserves!

"The Mossland Monster":

⚡"Tygra gets caught in a meteor shower while returning from Third Earth. Losing control of the Feliner, he crashes through the atmosphere into the unexplored Mosslands of New Thundera, where he awakens the gigantic Monster of the Mosslands!"

⚡Original Airdate: September 20, 1989. ⚡

Welcome Back Bunglers! ⚡

Happy New Year! It's time for more kitty cat fun with your Radical Retro Brothers! We are back recapping season four of ThunderCats! To make it even more special we welcome back Sean McKeone, the author of "Hall of Omens: Thunder-Verse! The Unofficial Ultimate Collector's Guide to ThunderCats, SilverHawks, & TigerSharks!"

It’s the final appearance of our beloved medicine woman Pumyra, Captain Cracker and the Lunataks who become honorary pirates in what turns out to be their last appearance on the show too so yes, we are laughing, but we are also emotionally unstable about it! And to make it even more special, today’s release date marks the 41st anniversary of the original ThunderCats animated series premiering with its two-part pilot, “Exodus,” on January 23, 1985.

And Bunglers… do we uncover a shocking discovery?! How well does Captain Bragg truly take care of his circus-train prisoners? We may have the answer, and it’s not fun. Let’s just say it involves a bucket and chicken feed?! 😬🪣🐔

⚡"Captain Cracker and his mechanical parrot Polly land on Way-Out Back and free the Lunataks and put Bragg and Crownan in one of the train's cages. They plan to go to Third Earth to attack it since most of the Thundercats are no longer on Third Earth."

⚡Original Airdate: September 19, 1989 ⚡

Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

We are back with another brand-new episode of Radical Retro Rewind! This week we’re tackling “My Little Pony: The Movie” ’from 1986, a longtime favorite of the Radical Brothers growing up.

Of course we’re keeping it retro, and in 2026 the movie turns 40, making this the perfect time to revisit a film that left a lasting mark on our childhoods. Ryan asks the big question right out of the gate: Was it actually necessary for Buttons to yell at Baby Lickety-Split? David absolutely thinks so, and the debate leads whether tough love has a place in Ponyland.

We also dig into the creeping menace of the Smooze and find out if this pastel nightmare can actually be stopped. Along the way, we make a surprising discovery about the Flutter Ponies. Not only are they powerful and mysterious, they might also be a little stuck up.

From spring festivals gone wrong to magical side eye in the sky, this episode is packed with laughs, nostalgia, and radical pony logic. So grab the Rainbow of Light and get ready to head to Ponyland. It’s time to get Radical!

"Ponyland comes under attack from the Smooze, a massive purple ooze created by an evil witch who plans to destroy the ponies' annual spring festival!”

Stars: Danny DeVito, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Rhea Perlman and Tony Randall.

Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

Before new episodes kick off next week, we’re taking a moment to celebrate! This bonus episode is a love letter to 2025. Join Ryan as he looks back at the RADICAL year that was 2025!

We started things off in a big way with an unforgettable interview with Terri Hawkes, we talked slashers and secrets with Trey Callaway about “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer” and “W.I.T.C.H.”, celebrated Jem’s 40th anniversary with the wonderfully kind Samantha Newark on Jerrica’s actual birthday and caught up with Michael Bailey Smith of Charmed and Fantastic Four (1994).

We shared the fun with our Radical Ones through giveaways like two pairs of Freezy Freakies gloves and were completely blown away by an incredible video message from Thomas Dekker during our “Nightmare on Elm Street” (2010) coverage for Nightmare on Elm Street Summer.

We were honored to receive special video messages from director Christian Alvart and Kerry O’Malley during our "Case 39" episode, along with a thoughtful message from John Ottman reflecting on the "House of Wax" score for its anniversary.

This year also brought some huge firsts. We released our very first ThunderCats Holiday Video Special, along with our own retro themed album and a Christmas single.

And somehow, together, we reached 31,640 all time audio downloads. None of this happens without the listeners who show up every week, share the show, and send us so much love.

Thank you to David, Rob, Cadu, Zack, lovely Leah, all our ThunderCats Bunglers, and of course our Radical Ones for being part of this journey. Your support, kindness, and shared nostalgia mean more to us than we can ever say.

As always… stay radical. ❤️
