Episode 30 - A Picture Perfect Prom? 03/19/2019

Episode 30 - A Picture Perfect Prom? Hi. This is Sarah speaking. I’m not going to try to be funny about this description because DEAR LORD is this episode brilliant and intense, and HOLY MOLY does Dave do a superb job recapping it. Again, this is Sarah, not Dave. He’s not tooting his own horn. Anyway, you’d think a princess prom-themed animated show wouldn’t dare entwine teenage longing with nation building, comedy with terror, or societal collapse with party etiquette ... or, hell, maybe you would. You seem pretty smart about story elements. But join us for dark surprises: here we are at the Kingdom of Snows. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/9066602

Episode 28 - Pro-Beau, No? 02/20/2019

Episode 28 - Pro-Beau, No? It’s a robot battle nightmare in a hacker-maker wonderland, where the obsessive genius Princess Entrapta, she of the prehensile ponytails, has harnessed some dark old-timey coding to dicey effect! Dave talks us through the rapid-fire thriller System Failure, in which Beau gets the thankless task of risk management, then rises to glory in rebellion badassery with his squad of regular-folk kitchen staff. Also, bonus troll. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/8709350

In this extra-length holiday season episode, Sarah fangirls out while recapping the first two eps, and cannot shut up. Noelle Stevenson (showrunner, of Nimona fame), lead us forward!

Episode 22 - Very Evil People Holding Hands 10/30/2018

Episode 21 - Cancer Arcade 10/17/2018

Episode 20 - More Like Creeprechaun 10/02/2018

Episode 20 - More Like Creeprechaun Good ol’ Lou Zukor helms a dialogue-heavy script by Larry DiTillo, in which a venerable dragon takes a dim view of humans, the Giving Tree makes a cameo, and it’s pretty damn philosophical. Dave hates the “treeprechaun,” though. You can’t have everything. Sarah recaps “The Dragon’s Gift.” /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/7120415

Episode 19 - Netflix and Documentary 09/18/2018

Episode 19 - Netflix and Documentary How did a line of toys inspired by a blood-soaked sexed up R-rated movie evolve into a quirky, nonviolent force for good? Meet the minds behind Eternia: a creative boss who was a feminist ally; unsung animators who became masters of analog artistry; and the shyest legend in show business. Sarah and Dave confer after watching “The Power of Grayskull: The Definitive History of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.” /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/7062053

Episode 17 - Come On Ileena 08/21/2018

Episode 17 - Come On Ileena Teela’s pal Ileena comes to Eternia for a visit and to fulfill all the 80s stereotypes: Donna Dixon hair; “Slave Leia” bikini; crippling self doubt worthy of a John Hughes heroine; and a fondness for performance-enhancing “special potion” to rival John DeLorean’s. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6953080

Episode 16 - Weaponized Adam 08/07/2018

Episode 16 - Weaponized Adam You should always be your authentic self, right? -Not so fast, Adam. Your Dad likes He-Man better (or does he?) Dave talks you through some family therapy, plus schools you on Great Animator History, vol. 1. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6899605

Episode 15 - I Dream of Dree Elle 07/24/2018

Episode 15 - I Dream of Dree Elle This Dragoon Is not some old Timey British regimental position or whatever. This one is half man, half dragon, and surprisingly talkative. He menaces the land of Girl Orko, but He-Man leads him through a dark night of the soul. Also, This may be the only masters of the universe episode to warrant a trigger warning /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6847437

Episode 14 - Mood Buckets 07/10/2018

Episode 14 - Mood Buckets SPOILER ALERT: Despite the title ...there’s a pretty long lead up to Evil Lyn’s Bitch Queen antics in this plot. Dave leads you there through a sea of wee Widgets, rock-punching, and a saucy breastplate for ol’ Skull Face. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6795727

Episode 13 - LASER BARS! 06/26/2018

Episode 13 - LASER BARS! Have you got a beeper in your pants? Got some doom that needs busting? Did your Banshee Jungle not appear as advertised?

Or try. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6746909

Episode 12 - Beyond Fun Fun Fun (Objects You Carry In Your Pants) 06/12/2018

Episode 12 - Beyond Fun Fun Fun (Objects You Carry In Your Pants) If there’s one thing Teela’s learned from her old man, it’s always be prepared. Or keep up your STEM skills. Something like that. Anyway, Dave recaps “Like Father, Like Daughter” and lays it all out for you. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6697294

Episode 11 - Molkrom in the Middle 05/29/2018

Episode 11 - Molkrom in the Middle “Intermediate challenge cave monster is half elephant half cobra really pretty good also has a big ass horn and scary feet and strong arms with which he picks up the van and shakes it kind of gently, but which is alarming to everybody, understandably.” And that’s not even the reigning monster. Find out about Molkrom with the good hair, pithy dialogue, and a total nonsequitur lesson of the day. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6645983

Episode 10 - Porko's Origin Story 05/15/2018

Episode 10 - Porko's Origin Story Lady Edwina, Orko at her feet. Creepy little wizard makes our life complete (horn break). Actually that’s not true at all. But strangely enough, Orko achieves a tiny redemption arc when we learn his origin story this episode. He’s tormented by He-Man’s bitch goddess cousin, too. Don’t worry, he still sucks. Come along with Dave as he lays it all out for you. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6596176

Episode 9 - Unfriendly Jehovah's Orcs 05/01/2018

Episode 9 - Unfriendly Jehovah's Orcs Sing it, Sister! Sarah recaps Song Of Celice, which is kinda a misnomer. Mostly this ep is about dumb monsters, dumb caves, and bullshit pits. Furthermore, where the hell does Teela keep her pole vault? ...Anyway, at least Orko gets touched inappropriately. So that’s cool. /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6544095

Episode 8 - Everything's Coming Up Ram Man 04/17/2018

Episode 8 - Everything's Coming Up Ram Man Dave takes a deep dive into a jam-packed MOTU episode, featuring climate change, political propaganda, biological warfare, and the most inefficient use of volcano resources ever. The 80s were a dark time, friends. So it’s a good thing Dave does upwards of 20 celebrity impressions. Can you spot them all? /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6491281

Episode 7 - Spin Magic, F&%K Yeah! 04/03/2018

Episode 6 - Giant Cringer Diarrhea 03/20/2018

Episode 6 - Giant Cringer Diarrhea Travel to Ancient Eternia as Dave recaps “Time Corridor,” chock full of portals, wiggly science, and snake talk of yore. Stephen Hawking probably would not have approved. Bonus: A BTPOG fan childhood anecdote! /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6386330

Episode 5 - Deux Ex Orkina 03/06/2018

Episode 5 - Deux Ex Orkina Sarah and Dave arrive at some hard truths: Orko eats his feelings. Sarah sees vaginas everywhere, finds strong female characters where she can get ‘em, and still doesn’t understand where Castle Grayskull is. Dave hates dumb magic. Asian-stereotype sidekicks are very problematic. Also, hear our most disturbing audio drop-in yet! Teamwork makes the dream work on this rollicking BTPOG episode! /episode/index/show/podcastofgrayskull/id/6333560

Episode 4 - Egyptian Adjacent 02/20/2018
