  • I hope this show never stops!

    Aaron, Ryan, and Caleb always bring their top knowledge and most humorous gags to educate and entertain their audience with a variety of expertise and topics! No better place to learn about the G1 Transformers cartoon, the ‘86 movie, random G.I. Joe episodes, and now Beast Wars! Well done, gentlemen! Keep up the great work!

  • Rubbing junkion juice on my childhood to bring it back to life

    This podcast is a fun way to be nostalgic about a cartoon I watched as a kid while still getting to be an adult. The chemistry of the three hosts who were childhood friends while the show was on the air and are still pals makes it even more enjoyable.

I recently went back and listened to the bonus episodes which I initially skipped. I think the “Starcream Brigades” Jazz cameo might be my favorite APDC…thing? Really enjoyed the 2007 movie review, though it didn’t change my opinion. However, their consistent enjoyment of season 3 has made me do a 180 (though I’m glad we agree about Surprise Party).
