Advertise on podcast: By The Power

Hello everyone, By The Power Squad member Kane here….. I’ve been told I have to write a blurb for this episode and truth be told, I’d had a few too many whiskeys during this recording and I don’t remember very much of it. So it goes without saying, listen at your own risk! Oh, we were supposed to be reviewing the loony tunes 90s hit Taz-Mania, episode 45a Young Taz’s fancy. I can only presume we have a deep discussion about Taz’s influence on 90s culture with all the other usual By The Power classic segments such as ‘would I lie to you?’ And ‘Would you rather’. Enjoy!

H-H-H-H Hit it! 1992. What a Dippy Dawg dang dope year. Jeffrey Dahmer went to prison, Time Magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ was Bill Clinton, Aladdin was the highest-grossing film of the year, Stu mastered his argument skills, Kane was twenty years off being born, Jamie became a member of the Oompa Loompa fan club and James fingered his first bird. And more importantly… Goof Troop – the animated TV series came out. You know the one…dopey, furry git with funny teeth? Nooooo…Not Ken Dodd!!! No tickle sticks in this cartoon. Or maybe there is? It would certainly explain a lot. This cartoon stars the one and only Disney G man himself – Goofy, and his son, Max as they get into all kinds of shenanigans in Spoonerville. Like father, like son, you’re always number one… (when you know you know). Fact. According to Pinto Colvig, the original voice artist for the character, Goofy was inspired by a "grinny, half-baked village nitwit" from his hometown of Jacksonville. Brilliant. The cartoon that we all watched in advance of recording the award winning and globally recognised podcast was – ‘E=MC Goof’. Ok Power Squad – It’s time to report to the Goof Troop. La-doop-a-loo bop boppa doo bop! Yeah!

Its a special episode to discuss a remake of a ‘By The Power’ Fave. Stu was looking forward to seeing Gadget again, and the rest of the squad were looking forward to a nostalgia craving up there with Monty and some stinky Che Che Cheeeeese. And Rescue rangers the Disney plus movie delivers! Its a modern remake inspired by Roger Rabbit and not really what any of us expected. We still squeeze in a 'would you rather' and spend a lot of time talking about Peter Pan and wonder who in Disney managed to get approval for all of this! We watched Chip and Dale : Rescue rangers on Disney+

"Good news everyone". This week we are watching future Simpsons, no Simpurama , no Futurama. Damn this sexy learning difficulty. From apartment 1bdi to robot hell just like an episode of 'By the Power' this cartoon has it all. Sex, space, love and heart ache (that poor little dog). So strap in and let's blast off. 10, 9 8-1 We watched the Episode 'Hell is other robots' S01E09

A real gweechie episode this week as the squad go back to school to watch this 1986 single season show. Doyle and Aimee travel from earth and meet a pretty diverse bunch of aliens in the Chris Columbus ( you know him! Home Alone, Gremlins, Goonies, Harry Potter!) Cartoon. We study hard to pass a quiz, discuss food at lunch break and at home time argue about Robots Vs Aliens in our 'Would you Rather'. We watched episode 8 the Bikini filled "Beach Blanket Blowup".

“He's got a powerful stink, and he don't like pink. Durango Doug. He's got a rock-hard head, and he eats stale bread. Durango Doug.” In this week’s episode, the Power Squad review the 90s Nickelodeon hit show 'Doug'. This recording has everything you can expect from a classic 'By the Power' Podcast, we discuss the difference in toilets around the world, the best way to make gravy, cartoons based around the explorer Christopher Columbus and we even manage to have a quick chat about ‘Doug’. We reviewed the episode ‘Doug: Way Out West’ Season 4 Episode 12B.

This week Seymour Krelborn puts his seed in a pot and a giant sharp toothed man eating monster appears. Its every 13 year olds nightmare in this cartoon version of the black comedy movie from 1960 (yup that was news to us too! the 1982 one IS better though) We imagine man eating plants and plant eating mans! which is worse? spoiler its the vegans! We quiz, quip and quoth all in quadraphonic audio so dont miss a moment with this amazing quad squad as we discuss 'Little Shop' Episode 11 'Walk like a nerd'.

Chiba chiba sohpa? The Power Squad (that’s us four sexy badgers) were all set and ready to record another globally acclaimed and award winning podcast when the bulbs of light hit us… Today is the 4th May, or May the 4th…something that gets discussed on this bloody great ear juice of a listen. Either way, it’s Star Wars day bayyyybayyyyyy. And so….last minute change of plans. ‘Let’s cover an 80’s/90’s Star Wars cartoon’ and we have already covered Droids. Stop and sing long time “Trouble again…du du du…trouble again”. If that makes no sense, go right now and listen to the Droids theme and then come back and tell us how we have wasted you time. Lol. I hate Lol but continue to write lol. Hang about…Does Lol have a capitol L? It does now. Right - what do you get if you say wookie backwards? Ewok. This week we cover: ‘Star Wars: Ewoks’. The series centers on the adventures of the Ewok, Wicket W. Warrick and his friends on the forest moon of Endor before the events of the original Star Wars film. The episode we ‘loosely’ cover is ‘Battle for the Sun Star’ (E12 S2). This is also available on Disney+ who I am informed is going to be the next By The Power sponsor. As usual you have 5 minutes of cartoon talk and 55 minutes of ‘Would you rather’, the hit segment ‘Would I lie to you’, conversation about food, Talk about Batman and a chat about Stu’s fantasy of sticking his man lightsaber in a small, furry, mammaloid biped. Oh and by the way, we speak some badass Ewokese. ‘Chiba chiba sohpa?’ translates as - "Hide and then come out chopping heads?". Yep. #MayThe4thBeWithYou

The Moronic four discuss the Bionic Six, and there can be only one outcome. And as expected its an episode filled with nonsense, jokes, arguments, trivia and a would you rather that unbelievably ISN'T about Bionic Dicks. This 80's cartoon based heavily on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman has all of the Power Squad in agreement as we watched episode 2 from Season 1 "Enter the Bunji".

In this episode we take a look at Brave Starr, the gun toting, bear lifting, Eagle seeing, wolf hearing, pooooma racing Marshall who takes no prisoners. Well except for the guys he arrests. They are his prisoners. OK so in this episode we take a look at Brave Starr, the gun toting, bear lifting, Eagle seeing, wolf hearing pooooma racing Marshall who takes prisoners. Not since seeing Zammo from Grange Hill (if you know you know) have I ever been this put off taking drugs. So grab your kids and settle down for a cautionary tale about drugs, addiction, and a talking horse. The episode we watched was BraveStarr S01E26 'The Price'

In this episode of By The Power, we are ‘loosely’ covering the ‘Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog’. The cartoon is based on the classic video game Sonic the Hedgehog and is one of three different Sonic cartoons produced in the 90s and for some reason, we chose to cover the lowest ranked of the three. Listen to one hours’ worth of BTP fun where we have a ‘dramatic’ result in ‘would I lie to you’, cover all the usual By The Power discussion points and a lot of chat about Tails. The BTP team watched ‘’Tails in Charge’’ Season 1 episode 26. Sonic Sez, ‘’Give the By The Power podcast a 5 star review’’

Ok you monkey paw loving, berry scrubbing little sausages; sing along with me now… “Muppet Babies, we make our dreams come trueeeeee. Muppet Babies, we'll do the same for youuuuuu” That’s right, this week we are covering X-Men…Just kidding of course. Lol as the kids say, Wocka Wocka as we say. This week we are ‘loosely’ covering (and I mean loosely covering) Muppet Babies. Waving arms wildly and shouting "Yaaaay!" is optional. Not the 2018 version that includes that stupid a$$ penguin called Summer. We’re old school baybayyyyyyyy!!! We are covering the 1984 classic that stars Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Scooter, Skeeter, Rowlf the Dog (who looks very similar to ‘By The Power’ host James) and Gonzo. The episode we cover is Season 1 Episode 12 – ‘from a galaxy far, far away’. Jamie dropped a bit of a blooper here as he thought this was the Star Wars Muppet Babies episode. It wasn’t but it does have a koala in it so kind of close… Listen in for the usual cartoony nonsense, the hit quiz ‘would I lie to you’, a classic ‘would you rather’ and the terrible segment ‘which goody would you kill and how’. Jeez Louise…It’s no wonder we can’t get a sponsor. Give us all the monies.
