Back To The Eighties

We're continuing Target: 2006, and things are hotting up! Galvatron consolidates his power base, and the Autobots have to employ extreme measures!

We're a bit late due to illness, but we're back! And we're starting one of THE most important stories in all of Transformers fiction, as Target: 2006 starts this episode! Join Andy and Glenn as they find out why the US comic's unwillingness to feature movie characters was the best decision ever made!

It's time for some more retrogaming goodness with Amy and Glenn, and this episode is all about the great (and not so great) Star Wars games of yesteryear! From TIE Fighter to Rogue Squadron, from Power Jedi Battles to Masters of Teräs Käsi, it's all here!  I have a bad feeling about this.

Andy's back with us from the Smorgaspod for more Transformers UK goodness, with the end of Skids' story from the US, and the Dinobot Eighties action movie awesomeness that is "In the National Interest"!

It's time for Brad and Glenn to get together again and talk some Star Wars, but this time they're discussing the latest SW offering from Disney - the long awaited Obi-Wan Kenobi series! But is it any good, or just a load of Bantha poodoo? Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

Andy and Glenn are back with more from Marvel UK's Transformers, where Blaster and the Autobots on Cybertron discover the dark secret at the heart of the Space Bridge, and on Earth, Omega Supreme comes online...

We have a brand new guest on today's show - the Vindaloo Vixen herself, Emma Daria, joins us to talk about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! There's also some discussion of things 80's antipodean, and we manage to sneak in some Doctor Who in there as well!

Andy and Glenn are back with more from Marvel UK's Transformers, where Buster and Prime share a dream, Megatron and Shockwave fight it out, and we find that Cybertron's Autobots are having a bit of a rubbish one...

Duncan's back with us for this one, and it's going to get scary and icky, because we're talking about the ups and downs of the Alien franchise! From a gothic horror in space, to all out action, to whatever Alien 3 was supposed to be, it's all here! So suit up, look into my eye, and hope to Yahweh you don't get Ovimorphed!

We're back with some essential Marvel UK Transformers content, as Andy and Glenn explore the coming of the Special Teams, and the Decepticons realising that menacing humans is far more productive than fighting the Autobots...

In the first of what we hope to be many episodes, join Amy and Glenn as they take a look at Retrogaming in all it's many and varied forms, as well as focusing on particular games, systems, and the culture of retro itself!

Dave from Sonic the Comic the Podcast joins us again this week, to talk about records that we owned as kids in the 80s! They might not necessarily have been made in our favourite decade, but we would have definitely listened to them, so let's show them some love, shall we?

Leigh and Glenn are back to take a look at 2022's Easter Special, Legend of the Sea Devils - but was it more akin to Delgado in the original Sea Devil series, or did it have the distinct whiff of the Myrka about it? NB: This was recorded before the announcement of the 14th Doctor. Nerva Beacon on Facebook: facebook.com/NervaBeaconPodcast Nerva Beacon on Twitter: @NervaBeaconPod

We're back with more Transformers UK goodness, this time covering April of the most important year of the franchise at that point!

It's been a while, but they're back! Leigh and Glenn return to talk some more Doctor Who, and just in time.

Amy's back with us this episode, to have a bit of a natter about retrogaming, and why it means so much to us nostalgia geeks! And as it's us, we also take a few other nostalgic tangents, because why not? Back to the Eighties @ Twitter: @BTTEPOD Back to the 80's on Facebook: facebook.com/bttepod

Hello there! Brad's back with us, to talk about how we think the Book of Boba Fett went, and how excited we are for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series!
