RTTP #82 - Distant Memory, or, This is NOT My Beautiful House

Super Nuclear Presents - April 16, 2019 02:55 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Plot? In MY season four? It's more likely than you think! Granted, this episode doesn't contribute to the story so much as it recalls old plot points from seasons one and two, but beggars can't be choosers. At least this episode [I GEDDIT!] officially introduces Odd's five sisters, to the deligh...

RTTP #81 - A Lack of Goodwill, or Prepare to Meet MR. ANGRY EYES (Feat. Sarah the Translation Shaman-Scientist!)

Super Nuclear Presents - April 01, 2019 23:22 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
We could not be more excited to share this episode with you today. Not only do we have two very special guests (Translation Shaman-Scientist Sarah and Gargalax the Unknowable) But guess who's back? OUR SWEET BOI, Clone William. And he's sweeter - and smarter - than ever, imitating Odd's silly ...

The Rec Room #8 - LIVE!

Super Nuclear Presents - March 28, 2019 02:35 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Behold, our latest and most desperate ratings grab: a live episode! Our friends joined us in a Twitch stream where we answered questions and shot the breeze about live, the universe, and Code Lyoko. Mary and David make fun of Wreck-It Ralph 2, the trio talks about genies and bears with at leas...

Bonus - Never Mind the Bollocks, Here Come the Groovies

Super Nuclear Presents - March 19, 2019 19:26 - 35 minutes ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Get ready to unearth some long-repressed memories. In lieu of a normal episode, we're discussing four of Cartoon Network's "Groovies" - those animated music videos that used to play between shows in the Powerhouse (and maybe also the CN City?) eras. So if you're here for Code Lyoko, you may be d...

RTTP #80 - Dog Day Afternoon, or, Odd Made Everything Bad

Super Nuclear Presents - March 12, 2019 02:57 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Hey, do you like it when Code Lyoko just gets friggin wacky? Bam, here's an episode where Odd turns into a dog. The disparity between the realistic depictions of middle school angst and nonsense like this never ceases to amaze. Also, there are stinky feet jokes (the fart jokes of Europe). Join...

RTTP #79 - Bragging Rights, or, New Forbidden Clown Tent

Super Nuclear Presents - February 26, 2019 02:11 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
This episode contains practically zero teen drama and is all about the lasers and kicking, so you'd think it's pretty bad, right? Actually, not so! There's a wee smidge of Flanderization, but that aside, it makes us care about the nuts and bolts of Code Lyoko's plot - a rare feat indeed. Also,...

RTTP #78 - Lab Rat, or, Cool Kids Don't Raise the Dead

Super Nuclear Presents - February 19, 2019 06:19 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
In this, the """"lost"""" episode, it turns out XANA is much more powerful than any of us ever imagined, what with his cybernetic spiders and his robot army and his growing brains (I swear, guys, this is a thing that happens). Unfortunately, this revelation doesn't get nearly as much attention a...

RTTP #77 - Lost at Sea, or, Skidstuck

Super Nuclear Presents - February 13, 2019 02:33 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Season four keeps the hits coming with a rather touching episode about Yumi and Hiroki's fraught relationship - even if it does involve them all being very dumb in very entertaining ways. It also introduces William's snazzy new ship, the Rorqual, which looks like a Navskid with a Dib ahoge on it...

RTTP #76 - The Lake, or, XANA is a Messy B*tch Who Lives for the Drama

Super Nuclear Presents - February 05, 2019 03:26 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
We like this episode because Clone William is in it for about ten seconds, and also (thanks to some MoonScoop intern mailing the wrong model sheets to Vietnam, we presume) because the characters all wear their S1-3 outfits for one last, glorious time. But you know what? It's a pretty good episod...

RTTP #75 - Hot Shower, or, In Awe at the Size of Uranus (Feat. Quinn!)

Super Nuclear Presents - January 22, 2019 02:51 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Hey... you into hot showers? No, not the ones from Urban Dictionary, you filthy little goofball. I'm talking about the giant meteorite that Xana sends hurtling toward the Earth in this episode of Code Lyoko. And it seems like only yesterday he was making food golems. How our little computer demo...

RTTP #74 - I'd Rather Not Talk About It, or, Jeremie Belpois: Faster Than The Average Nerd

Super Nuclear Presents - January 13, 2019 17:36 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
It's real Lyoko hours! Who's ready for the episode that broke a million hearts (well, more like a couple dozen) back in twenty aught seven? Will Jim's long-rumored involvement in the making of Lyoko finally be confirmed, or will we get jokes about animal feces instead? I know which one I'm hopin...

RTTP #73 - Replika, or, A Breathtaking Experience in the Moonlight With Us

Super Nuclear Presents - January 09, 2019 03:56 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Replika is the most memorable episode of season four - we know, because for once, all three of us remembered what the darned thing is about. Odd/Aelita validation, Nicolas wearing human boy pants, and heretofore unprecedented levels of queenly sass await you in this morsel of an episode. Join ...

RTTP #72 - Crash Course, or, Fromage Against the Machine

Super Nuclear Presents - December 31, 2018 22:17 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Have you ever dug out a toy you loved as a child, only to find it dinky and unimpressive as an adult? This episode is one such toy. Much like Rise Kujikawa's omelette, it's brimming full of the ingredients we love, but comes out tasting like nothing regardless. On the upside, we finally announ...

RTTP #71 - Maiden Voyage, or, Jeremie Breaks the Internet

Super Nuclear Presents - December 25, 2018 03:18 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
This is the episode where Jeremie gets his pea green and neon blue capris. We're sure other stuff happens in the episode, but we were too distracted by those godawful pants to notice or care. We advise you not to look directly at them for an extended period, as you will surely go blind or be tur...

The Rec Room #7.5 - Mary and David's Emailstravaganza

Super Nuclear Presents - December 18, 2018 03:54 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Unspeakable Sex Acts broke up (for about a week), so no new episode today, guys. But Mary and David did take the time to read a whole bunch of your emails, so there is that! That's right - we take a break from rambling about Homestuck and Smash Bros. and give YOU the floor to, er, ramble about...

The Rec Room #7 - We're Not Affiliated With Us

Super Nuclear Presents - December 11, 2018 03:36 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Note: David has a few moments in this episode where his audio suddenly cuts out. I think I've fixed most of them, but let me know if you catch any more and I can see what I can do about them! This episode was supposed to be a dramatic reading of Ben and Mary's old Code Lyoko crack fic. And it ...

RTTP #70 - Skidbladnir, Skidbladfar, Skidwherever You Are

Super Nuclear Presents - December 04, 2018 03:15 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Not to yank our own dingdongs, but it isn't often that Code Lyoko and RttP are both in top form in the same episode.  You want action, comedy, high-stakes middle school dramedy? Skidbladnir delivers. You wanna hear Mary, Ben, and David (but mostly Ben and David) break into an impromptu slapfig...

RTTP #69 - Wreck Room, or, Not Actually a Rec Room (featuring Jess!)

Super Nuclear Presents - November 20, 2018 02:10 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Well, kids, here we are at the funny sex number. I bet you think that's a real laugh riot. You disgust me. (jk ilu) Not only do we say a few things that'll fill you with the irrepressible urge to whisper 'Niiiiice!' to yourself; we also talk about silly cartoon characters with big heads. Oh, a...

RTTP #68 - Opening Act, or, The Subsonics Sell Out

Super Nuclear Presents - November 13, 2018 03:04 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
We're not quite sure how to feel about this Jeremie kid. We want to believe in him - we really do! - but he's also kind of a sh*t. Which is a roundabout way of saying that this is the episode wherein we talk about relationship dynamics. Hooray? But also, it's Subdigitals time! Remember when Mo...

RTTP #67 - Double Take, or, Send in the Clones

Super Nuclear Presents - November 06, 2018 02:53 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
If you thought the real Jeremie was kind of a sh*t, wait till you meet his clone! The only reason he doesn't wear a fedora is that his head is too big! Wait, we think that applies to the real Jeremie too. But don't worry, this episode also introduces Clone!William. He may not be the sharpest t...

RTTP #66 - William Returns, or, Dat Boi Rides Again

Super Nuclear Presents - October 30, 2018 03:15 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Ah, I remember this episode! It's the one where SpongeBob forgets everything except fine dining and breathing! Wait, no, sorry, I was thinking of something much better. In this episode, the 'Group gets in the Halloween spirit by discussing Wolfman and the having of nards thereof (can you belie...

Season Break #3 - Consider the SNA

Super Nuclear Presents - October 23, 2018 02:59 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Bingo - the only game that bridges the gulf between big babies and old fogies. If you're a longtime listener, you know we're all about old memes, so here's one we yanked out of the pits of La Brea. Favorite Character Bingo! Featuring actual Code Lyoko content on two out of our three cards. ===...

RTTP #65 - Final Round, or, There Go Dat Boi

Super Nuclear Presents - October 17, 2018 02:14 - 2 hours ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Well, we hope you all liked or at least loved to hate William, cause he's basically not in the show anymore. That's right - dat boi has come and gone, leaving behind Ben and Mary's shameful memories and the usual sticky teenage residue. And, AND, a perfect ten of a season finale! It's an enorm...

RTTP #64 - Double Trouble, or, What If My Clone is Evil

Super Nuclear Presents - October 09, 2018 00:53 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
The action ramps up as Code Lyoko delivers an episode with more plot-slash-William than usual, as well as more poo baths and nipple-pinching. Needless to say, there's a little something for each of your three hosts. Join us as we jump-start your vague memories of the end of season three, as we...

RTTP #63 - Three Is An Odd Number, or, Triple Trouble, For Some Godforsaken Reason

Super Nuclear Presents - October 02, 2018 01:53 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Imagine a four-circle Venn diagram. The circles are labeled Political Science, Fancy Soap, Star Trek, and Jokes About Dog Dicks. In the center of said diagram lies this episode of RttP. Whatever is written in the other overlapping segments, we'll leave to your own diseased imagination. === C...

RTTP #62 - Nobody in Particular, or, How Suzanne Got Her Groove Back

Super Nuclear Presents - September 26, 2018 03:02 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
No, you didn't hallucinate this episode whilst high on jenkem - Ulrich really does briefly become a dog. There's other stuff too, of course, like the troubling implication that Mrs. Hertz swings, but Ulrich body-hopping like an angsty teen Mario Odyssey is the highlight. Unless you're the type t...

RTTP #61 - Sabotage, or, Do It For The Vine

Super Nuclear Presents - September 17, 2018 23:40 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
In this episode, the RttP gang revisits an episode they all forgot and the Code Lyoko gang visits a grove of handsy trees, which reminds the RttP gang of why they blocked out the episode in the first place. Groovy. On that note, this episode of Code Lyoko carries a content warning for a sentie...

The Rec Room #6 - The End of Evongelion

Super Nuclear Presents - September 11, 2018 00:36 - 58 minutes ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
In what is perhaps the most rambling an incoherent episode of the Rec Room yet, we discuss Code Lyoko: Evolution's series finale, ponder what kind of web presence the Lyoko children would have today, and Ben and David have a farting contest. (A fake one. Unless you're into that, sexually, in whi...

RTTP #60 - Temporary Insanity, or, Gamblin' for Drugs

Super Nuclear Presents - September 04, 2018 01:41 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
Every once in a while, we get an episode where the writers clearly didn't give a f*ck. This is one of those episodes. Now, being discerning and sophisticated consumers of media, we normally crinkle our noses at that kind of thing, but this time's a little different. Like a Flash cartoon hastily ...

RTTP #59 - The Secret, or, World War I Speedrun

Super Nuclear Presents - August 25, 2018 02:27 - 1 hour ★★★★★ - 58 ratings
At long last, Dat Boi here come for more than like 30 seconds. But, but that's all the time he needs to make Mary and Ben feel ashamed of themselves for having had crushes on him as children. (Meanwhile, David points and laughs and hugs his Vriska daikamura.) Why? Because he's a scrub, which, ...
