Show #69: Nothing's Worse Than Hammerman

It's the obligatory joke number episode! However the joke's on us as we are struck full force by the punchline of Stripperella.

Comics personality / dirty old man Stan Lee brings us one of his varying-in-quality side projects, this time a cartoon series about an exotic dancer who fights crime whatever irreverent, offensive or crass form it may take. The drawbacks of the show are immediately apparent but are all the more maddening for the glimmers of quality that occasionally surface, from surprisingly good animation and sharp writing to a genuinely likeable performance from Pamela Anderson as the titular character, all of which are unfortunately mired in the risible premise.

THE SHORT VERSION

Good costume

Bad costume

Show #40: Tony Stark's Cybernetic Long Johns

Iron Man 3 is in cinemas very soon so we thought we'd glance back at a less successful adaptation of old Shell Head and boy is it a doozy. Animation inconsistencies, characters fascinated with watching videos all the time, awkward attempts at humour and some particularly heinous CG sections add up to a not-so-spectacular package. Luckily the series found its feet (and a better production team) by Season 2 but that's a thrilling tale for another podcast. See ya!

THE SHORT VERSION

An improvement.

SEAMLESS.

More Comic Interludes!

Man, what is with us and talking for so long about old badly made cartoons?  We should really be riding their asses hard and this time is no exception (up to a point). But just like Birdman the early animated incarnation of the Avengers has wormed its way into our hearts by sheer virtue of tripped out craziness, ham acting and killer theme tunes. Maybe that's the REAL Secret of the Sailor Madness (it's not). Enjoy in small doses, or better yet just listen to the audio. It works quite well!
