18 ”Monkeybird” Sounds Like a Slur
June 28, 2022 20:36 - 1 hour - 79.3 MBJake and Sky watched episode 18 of the Pirates of Darkwater, The Pandawa Plague. It definitely wasn't a plague, but alliteration is key. We discuss Jake's low bar on political stuff, a Power Rangers' mouth monster, the restraint on the design team for not giving the female monkeybird boobs, wishbone the story dog, and Wojtek the bear in the polish army. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
17 The Most Dangerous Wager
May 26, 2022 02:43 - 1 hour - 101 MBJake and Sky watched Pirates of Darkwater episode 17 Game Players of Undar! It was weird. It was almost a "most dangerous game" parody, but not. We discuss what do you call an earthquake but for the water, Amalgam Comics, American Gladiators, and we witness a pretty brutal murder https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
16 Dudes and Dagrons
May 05, 2022 23:54 - 58 minutes - 82.1 MBJake and Sky watch episode 16 of Pirates of Darkwater, The Dragon Master. It was nothing like Double Dragons or WMAC Masters. We discuss the pros and cons of a dragon hoodie, a terrible truth about the dagrons is revealed, and Bloth's ship might be a nature preserve? https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
15 Ghosts Off the Ghost Coast!?
April 23, 2022 20:27 - 50 minutes - 50.9 MBJake and Sky are at it again. We watched episode 15 "The Ghost Pirates" No prizes for guessing what secrets the episode holds. We discuss how Ioz misses doing pirate stuff, Bloth can't find the Raith for the first time in the show, Tula kills Ren, and Sky talkes about the Liver King. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
14 Vacuuming Too Deeply and Too Greedily
April 01, 2022 00:33 - 1 hour - 113 MBThis week from several weeks ago, sorry I'm behind, Jake and Sky watched episode 14 of the Pirates of Darkwater, "The Dark Disciples" Sky was sick during recording, but most of the coughs were able to be edited out. Also, Content warning for gross worms getting stabbed We discuss a half fish man with a tentacle, the 3Ninjas film franchise, we find the other half of Ren's sword, we talk way too much about apples, and we return to Octopon
13 The Treasures Are Dumb, Right?
March 03, 2022 01:01 - 1 hour - 64.2 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 13 of Pirates of Darkwater, "The Dark-Dweller" This episode was recorded back in December, but i'm just now getting around to editing stuff. There is a fair amount of Christmas references. We discuss dune buggies, if horizontal stalagmites/stalactites exist, we see more of Bloth's gross feet (if youre into that kind of thing), a coffin made of bones, and Ren forgets that the treasures of rule scares off darkwater. You know, the only thing they're for? ...
XR Gets Gaslit *Holiday Episode*
December 25, 2021 19:23 - 41 minutes - 42.1 MBWe interrupt the normal pirate show to bring you this episode of Buzz Lightyear of Star Command. Its episode 59 "Holiday Time" You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hitRhO_eUs and you should! It's Great! We discuss how awesome the animation and cast is, we get some backstory to Buzz Lightyear, we discuss how Adam Carolla and Tim Allen suck, and Sky remembers most of the names We hope you have a safe and happy holiday! https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturef...
12 Baby On Board
December 19, 2021 21:36 - 51 minutes - 52 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 12 of Pirates of Darkwater, Little Leviathan. It was exactly as cutesy as you may expect, and also more violent than you'd anticipate. We discuss Konk's sexual predilections, the various Kool-Aid mascots, Sky makes a super specific Dinosaurs reference, and Bloth actually utilizes his air force. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
11 The Bottle Episode
December 11, 2021 23:22 - 1 hour - 59.3 MBJake and Sky watch episode 11 Collection of the Pirates of Darkwater. Stuff gets weird. One of the largest confirmed body counts of any show we watched happens in this episode. We discuss grade school field trips, when Sky peaked as a person, how James Cameron can eat a bowl of butts, Peter Pan/ Hook, and how the crew should just become pot farmers. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
10 Attack of the SWAT Cat
November 27, 2021 22:21 - 59 minutes - 60.1 MBJake and Sky found out that in episode 10 of Pirates of Darkwater, "King Niddler" there is a SWAT Cat dragon. This was not what we expected. We discuss birds that walk like men, how melons don't grow on trees, how the sail of the ship can just convert into a flying machine, what Jake would do if he were made a king, how dramatically underappreciated Tula is, and how the female monkey-not-birds wasn't given human breasts by the design team. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popcultu...
09 Candy Clams Are A Thing
November 23, 2021 03:26 - 58 minutes - 62.5 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 9 Panacea of the Pirates of Darkwater. We also do not know what the word panacea means. We discuss how they probably couldn't use the term "wet suck hole" on tv, there's a dune worm wandering around, we talk about Niddler being illicit with the melons a little too long, and there's a Sonic the Hedgehog robot bird just here? You can just come into whatever cartoon you feel like? Get outta here robot bird. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ pop...
08 Return to Nets
November 14, 2021 00:05 - 1 hour - 77.9 MBIts the best time of the series arc, where we inevitably resort to nets. Jake and Sky Watch episode 8 of Pirates of Darkwater "Beast and the Bell" It is not related to Disney's Beauty and the Beast in any way. We discuss how truly terrible Ren is at negotiating, there's weird SCUBA bugs, tuning fork spears, and the Darkwater is sort of kind of explained. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
07 Va Va Voom, and Also What the Hell?
November 06, 2021 21:03 - 58 minutes - 59.1 MBThis week Jake and Sky watched episode 7 "Drop of Darkness" of the Pirates of Darkwater. It... This episode was genuinely upsetting. We discuss store brand chemist Barbie, hot air balloons, cruse ships, getting trapped in lockets, Ghost Writer and the "Gooey Gus" story arc, and a sharp cookie crossbow. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
06 The Old Beach From That Movie
October 28, 2021 02:36 - 54 minutes - 59.3 MBThis week we watched episode 6 Andorus of The Pirates of Darkwater. The shift in tone was pretty subtle from the first five episodes as marked by Tula getting a new outfit We discuss how Tula is a witch, the biology of the Pentapus, both Stretch Armstrong and Sky Dancer toys, how Blackwater is the name of the mercenary group, and a bunch of totally real Steven King Facts. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @s...
05 Blackwater Is Horny For Eatin‘ Stuff
October 19, 2021 03:10 - 52 minutes - 51.7 MBThis week Sky and Jake watch episode 5 of Pirates of Darkwater: "Victory" So much happens in this episode. We discuss the baffling non-Euclidian architecture of the Malestrom, the complex biology of the constrictus, how we're all going to be eating garlic crickets one day, and how Bloth has a super awesome table that we want in real life. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
04 More Lizard Gun
October 13, 2021 02:32 - 1 hour - 94.1 MBJake and Sky watch Episode 4 of Pirates of Darkwater, "Betrayal" We were pretty enamored with a piece of equipment that doesn't get nearly enough screen time We discuss the impossible structure of the bad guy's ship, we get into a few math fights, we discuss apples and bongs, and Sky reveals his scheme for a patreon. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
03 Doctor Pepper DDS
September 29, 2021 03:07 - 55 minutes - 59.8 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 3 of The Pirates of Darkwater! The episode is entitled "Breakup" so you'd think that maybe someone will have a significant other that will be introduced. Nah. It's about slavery. Cool. Cool. Cool. A super comfortable time was had by all. We discuss how we have to do recaps now?!, how one drinks out of a sponge, how technologically advanced is this word, and a product deal we may or may not have in Guatemala. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ p...
02 Thieves In the Sponge Cave
September 22, 2021 02:49 - 46 minutes - 42.9 MBThis week in Pirates of Darkwater, Jake and Sky watch episode two "Dishonor" A lot happens and yet not much happens? We discuss how Ren just hangs his broken sword on a nail while he sleeps, Sky learns the true meaning of Cirq De Soli, Tim Curry returns to the podcast, and the main characters are really bad at tactics. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
01 S.S. Octopod
September 15, 2021 02:10 - 53 minutes - 74.5 MBGreetings friends! We were able to find a copy of Pirates of Darkwater and thus have embarked to recount the tale to you, the listener. We're off to a promising start with a discussion of the practicality of a boat made entirely of bones, we question the very premise of the show, Joe Camel has a cameo appearance, and the bad guy looks racist for a race that doesn't exist. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky:...
05 Zombies Vs Croptops
August 27, 2021 02:42 - 58 minutes - 59.8 MBWe watched the final episode of Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos. The Island of the Living Dead ...There were real zombies that were dead people. In this kid's show. We discuss the anatomical location of "mid-calf," there's a zombie village, there is a new Karate Kommando, and the episode wasn't as racist as we expected. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
04 Crocodiles in Space!
August 19, 2021 02:04 - 58 minutes - 74.9 MBWe watched episode 4 of Chuck Norris: Karate Komandos "Menace from Space" Was the title a misnomer? Did Florida play a large part of the episode? Did Super Ninja get bat wings? Hell yes. We discuss the amazing interim villain Croc, how fan boats are pretty neat, there are two chefs that work on three chickens, and Tabe wears pants for the first time https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
03 Albino Abuse
August 04, 2021 02:51 - 1 hour - 74.9 MBThis week watch episode 3 of Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos "Terror Train" Is this a spooky episode? No. Unless you consider someone utilizing someone else's Albinism to hurt them physically spooky. We discuss the Gooosebumps book franchise, decide what constitutes a shirt, Sky very much misremembers who played the female Karate Kid, and we realize that Chuck Norris is basically the same as Rocky the Flying Squirrel https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Sh...
02 Sterves of Neal
July 29, 2021 03:54 - 1 hour - 88.6 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode two of Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos "Target: Chuck Norris" This... so much happens in this. We discuss gas station attendants, question if Amsterdam is below sea level, Jake is a full SuperNinja "stan" and Sky invents a color. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
01 This Was Inscrutable
July 20, 2021 02:53 - 1 hour - 77 MBWe were going to start Pirates of Darkwater but we couldn't find it. Instead we watched Chuck Norris: Karate Kommandos, Deadly Dolphin. There's only 5 of these, so it won't be that arduous. Famous last words. We discuss the awesome character of SUPER NINJA, how C.A.T. scans can read your thoughts, Sky is afraid of open water, and we tried our best but this was hard to follow. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr S...
There Are Two Bears, Five Kids, And One Doctor
May 30, 2021 18:51 - 1 hour - 97.9 MBHey guys! We are enjoying our Hiatus, but to break it up, we watched The New Mutants. We're pretty sure nobody but people doing podcasts have seen this movie. It is not great. We discuss the very low bar this movie clears with its casting, there is one person working a whole mental facility, and nobody can keep up an accent. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
26 Doing The Last Hockey
April 28, 2021 03:59 - 1 hour - 130 MBSo, it ended up that we recorded this episode on the 4 year anniversary of the first upload of our podcast! Neither of us planned anything out, but its pretty neat to know. Its also the final episode of the Mighty Ducks the animated series, To Catch a Duck. It was a very bad last episode. It was probably moved for some reason. We discuss teleportation mechanics, Mallory is a real dink, Sky knows too much about Crystal Skull Vodka, bird teeth upset Jake, and have y'all heard of Eagle Man?...
25 We Get Off Track A Lot
April 21, 2021 02:15 - 1 hour - 73.2 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 26 of the Mighty Ducks animated series, Duck Hard. There is an attempt to make this episode almost sort-of kinda like the movie Die Hard. It is not very successful. We discuss if Sky could punch a seagull, Jake isn't familiar with the term "non Euclidian", Phil decides to buy suits for Grinn and Nosedive, and apparently the ducks put a f**ing nuclear reactor under their hockey stadium.
24 Audio Fistfight
April 15, 2021 02:30 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 24 of The Mighty Ducks animated series. A whole lot happens in this one. There's monsters and such. We discuss how weird Anaheim's museums are, how Phil definitely has a gambling problem, Nosedive is able to skype different dimensions, there's a call back villain, and we finally get into a fistfight. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
23 Is Jungle Tar A Thing?
April 08, 2021 02:50 - 1 hour - 65.5 MBThis week Jake and Sky Watch episode 23 of the Mighty Ducks animated series, "Most Dangerous Duck Hunt" The Dog from duck hunt does not make a cameo. We discuss the evolutionary line of ducks, the ducks have a a boat now too, we still have no knowledge about hockey, the duck on robot violence is really taken up a notch, and we can confirm duck feet. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sandwichsurplus
22 California Cold Snap
March 31, 2021 02:48 - 1 hour - 88 MBGreetings one and all, this week Jake and Sky watch episode 22 of the Mighty Ducks Animated series, The Iced Ducks Cometh. We have never seen or read the play, so we're pretty sure this is a 1:1 faithful retelling of the 80 year old play. We discuss spaceships made entirely of ice, how a magnifying glass isnt really going to improve the light absorption in a solar panel, there's a super sweet robot Predator, Sky takes some shots at David Blaine, and we forgot to take the dog's collar off....
21 Only Ducks Can Find Atlantis
March 25, 2021 02:39 - 1 hour - 64.9 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 21 of the Mighty Ducks Series entitled The Final Faceoff. It really really felt like a season ending episode. It isn't, but it really felt like it. We discuss how we want them to finally #ReleaseTheViolenceCut of TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze, how Atlantis is populated by He-Man characters, the ducks loose a hockey, and this is kinda a Chameleon spotlight https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @md...
20 Space Jam But With Hockey
March 17, 2021 03:22 - 40 minutes - 38.5 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 20 of the Mighty Ducks, "Mad Quacks: Beyond Hockeydome" I am once again annoyed by the show's actual title being something I would have come up with for this show. We discuss how Duke La'Orange doesn't like being checked, the ducks get duped with yet another charity fake out, Malory does the thing, there's a sabertoothed kitty cat man, and some dude named Weasel couldnt be trusted. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] S...
19 The Highest Casualty Count
March 11, 2021 03:25 - 53 minutes - 68.4 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 19 of the Mighty Ducks series, "Bringing Down Baby" It was fine. There's a tractor beam. There's an apocalypse. We discuss how photoshoot ready the ducks are, weather or not ducks have belly buttons, if there's a direct ration between people who had Knex and people with podcasts, flux capacitors are a thing, and there is a staggering amount of on screen deaths. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultu...
18 Crystal Teal Persuasion
March 03, 2021 03:29 - 54 minutes - 76.5 MBHey Gang, This week Jake and Sky watched episode 18 of the Mighty Ducks, Buzz Blitzman, Mighty Duck. He was not a duck, nor was he that mighty. We discuss local tv channels and beetleborgs for far too long and it mostly got cut, the ducks are mean to a child, Sky is very wrong about the cast in Mystery Men, Nosedive is the competent one, and everyone kinda sucks except Phil? The hell is happening. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCult...
17 Gettin' All the Goo They're Gonna Get
February 25, 2021 03:21 - 1 hour - 62.5 MBThis week we watched episode 17 "Monster Rally" of the animated series of the Mighty Ducks. It was odd. In fact, it was much stranger than all the previous episodes of this show about alien ducks who come from a hockey centric society battling dragons who have both robotic soldiers and also magic. We discuss beatniks and weather they actually existed or not, how we don't like drag racing, the proper method for making spaghetti on a stick, and how these dinguses fall for yet another fake ...
16 Whoops
February 18, 2021 04:31 - 1 hour - 68.4 MBDue to some technical difficulty, we missed last week. This week we bring you last week's episode Puck Fiction! It was a spoof of Pulp Fiction, as you may have guessed. Sky has never seen the source material and Jake has only seen it once. We discuss hollow point bullets, our dads, the five meta jokes that are made in the episode, and the encouragement chart Dragaunas put up https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky:...
15 You Can't Pistol Whip A Door
February 04, 2021 04:33 - 1 hour - 85.7 MBThis week Jake and Sky were parted by a snowstorm, so they recorded separately. There were some technical issues. Jack Frost can suck a lemon. We still watched episode 15 of The Mighty Ducks "Mondo-Man" It was a pretty dense episode. We discuss duck racists, the absolute stupidity of throwing away your teleporter on purpose, we take a stance on robot scorpions, the DNA accelerator comes back, and Mondo-Man's alter ego is a douche. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure...
14 Anus in the Front, Party in the Back
January 28, 2021 03:17 - 46 minutes - 59.8 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 14 of the animate Mighty Ducks Series, "The Return of Dr. Droid" It is a very appropriately named episode. We discuss the duck's strange fashion choices, how getting bludgeoned to death with soda cans would be a pretty terrible death, goo plays a not insignificant role in the episode, and there is some pretty in depth TGIF line up talk. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopCultur Jake: @mdwstlvaffr Sky: @sa...
13 Hot Sauce My Feet
January 20, 2021 03:39 - 52 minutes - 68.8 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 13 of Disney Plus's Disney's animated Mighty Ducks series, as presented by Disney. It's entitled "Jurassic Puck" which is damn near a clever pun. I'm just gonna let you guess what this one is about. We discuss Tanya's very legitimate fear of dinosaurs, if Nosedive looks like a missile or not, Grinn punches a T-Rex in the mouth, the Flintstones, the movie "The Arrival," and how triceratops skulls were not actually designed to do a running headbutt. ht...
12 No Wall Left UnKool-Aid Manned
January 14, 2021 02:23 - 47 minutes - 41 MBThis week Jake and Sky discuss episode 12 of the Mighty Ducks animated series "Beaks vs B.R.A.W.N." Turns out, Dragaunus has spent some time in an interdimensional prison. Also, because we didnt mention it in the episode, B.R.A.W.N. stands for Bounty Robotic Assault and Weapons Negotiator. He does an astoundingly little amount of negotiations. We discuss how there is just another dick human inventor, Arthur the Aardvark's last name, how half the ducks get sidelined, and once again how murder...
11 Playing By Ant Man Rules
January 07, 2021 03:35 - 1 hour - 107 MBHey everyone! We're back from our holiday week off with Episode 11 of the Mighty Ducks animated series, "Microducks" It in fact was not about a "Fantastic Voyage" style parody. We discuss Captain Planet, a new villian shows up with a boss look, we accidentally become pro-gun, we're upset by Phil's only lines in the show, we decide the ducks are playing by Antman shrinking rules, Sky talks about pot like a complete narc, and the ducks could have a megazord now? https://popculturefailure...
10 Terminator In Reverse With Ducks
December 24, 2020 02:02 - 1 hour - 88.5 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch the cinematic classic Beak To the Future. Except its really more like terminator. There's also some Star Wars in there. It's episode 10 of the Mighty Ducks animated series. We discuss the duck's every day clothing, how they made no effort in hiding the bad guy's intentions, the ducks make a compelling case for disallowing them the vote, Jake doesn't know anything about crystals, and snakes use mice for wiggle power. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ ...
09 Right In The Beak
December 17, 2020 03:39 - 45 minutes - 63.1 MBThis week Jake and Sky watched episode 9 of the Mighty Ducks animated series, The human factor. We were very convinced that this episode was going to show us people versions of the ducks, and we were sorely disappointed. We discuss Wildwing taking a rivet to the face, how Brad Garrett must have been busy this week, the ducks super fail at saving a family business, and the ducks go to a sleepy murder town. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @Failed...
Chicken Is On The Menu
December 14, 2020 03:18 - 41 minutes - 57.4 MBSo the Pioneers at Lifetime teamed up with the tastemakers over at KFC to bring us Recipe for Seduction. ...Why did they do this? We... I...

08 Wildwing Quits
December 10, 2020 03:58 - 1 hour - 103 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 8 "Take me to your leader" of the Mighty Ducks animated series. It didn't make a lot of logical sense, but that's kinda our thing. We discuss how Malory seems to be genuinely dumb, Duke's sword is incredibly versatile, Sky knows a truly alarming amount of information about BeyBlades and Spinfighters, Jake gets a physics lesson, and Jake gets straight up Loony Toonsed. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ [email protected] Show: @FailedPopC...
07 They Took the Title I Would Have Used
December 02, 2020 03:21 - 55 minutes - 76.5 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 7 of The Mighty Ducks animated series, Dungeons and Ducks. That is exactly the title I would have used for this episode. They took that from me and I am not happy about that. We discuss how Grin kinda sucks in this one, are the ducks interdimensional aliens or just aliens, the ducks meet definitely not Link from Legend of Zelda, and they solve a maze in the exact way you'd expect them to. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popculturefailure@gmai...
06 The True Path of Hockey
November 26, 2020 20:41 - 1 hour - 133 MBThis week Jake and Sky are joined by Tanner! We watched episode 6 of the Mighty Ducks animated series. "The Power Play" We're six episodes in and we're already reusing assets.

05 Too Convoluted To Fail
November 19, 2020 03:31 - 58 minutes - 79.8 MBThis week Jake and Sky watch episode 5 of the Mighty Ducks, "Phil in the Blanks." You know how we were clambering for a Phil spotlight? Well. Here it is. It was not as Phil Heavy as you'd expect, though. We discuss the dynamics of a dagwood style sandwich, we try to figure out the taxonomy of dragons, weather all animals are included in the term furry, the bad guys use a preposterously overly complicated plan, and WildWing steals a NASA plane. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ popc...
04 An Electric Gremlin Furby
November 11, 2020 03:42 - 1 hour - 84 MBThis week we are joined by a returning guest! Our pal Furby sits in on the episode. And for some reason his is the clearest audio? Sky is muffled and Jake is echoey, and we don't know why. Its not unlistenable, but it is noticeable. We watch episode 4 "Zap Attack" It is odd. We discuss how there ain't no subway in Anaheim, there is a Rodney Dangerfield reference in the show, Tanya has a human friend, and they call back to the most bizarre detail. https://popculturefailure.podbean.com/ ...
