Operation: the Full-Scale Assault on My Friend Skullcruncher

Episode 49 Published 5 months ago
Description
This week we learn about the gross history of the dakko-chan. To get a sense of a contemporaneous American view, we read a racist Time magazine article from 1960 about a racist doll which was apparently incredibly popular for far longer than it should have been. Which is never. 
Oh, and we also talk over the penultimate episodes of:
  The Headmasters [ザ☆ヘッドマスターズ] (1988)
And check in on how Starscream is doing in the clink over on:
  Cyberverse (2019)
On top of that we make a bunch of crude and juvenile jokes about something very unfunny we heard not involving Bill Clinton & a certain best-president-ever. We also learn how to breathe in a car on fire underwater and Forrest recaps issue 26 of: 
  Skybound's The Transformers (2025) 
ongoing comic series! Currently on a run by Robert Kirkman & Dan Mora and it is AWESOME
