We are back- Good lord I have been sitting on this audio for months. I just needed to get this out there because the 90's bois are almost done with a season. But before the final we need to figure out which set of mutants gets to go. This episode has everything- Mutant Turtles, Mutant Men, Jokes! That's it for description. I have been dragging my feet posting this so done.

Sometimes this show is fun to make. Sometimes. This is one of them, we draw up the battle lines between Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers and X-Men The Animated Series. The main points? Merchandise, Gravestones, and figuring out if Wolverine can fit inside a tree.  Also Just for fun I made episode specific "art". Have fun everyone. This week we watched: X-Men: The Animated Series Season 1 ep 1 Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 Season 2 ep 1 'Til Death Do Us Part: Part 1 Season 3 ep 1 Out of the Past: Part 1 Season 4 ep 1 One Man's Worth: Part 1 Season 5 ep 1 Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers  Season 1 ep 1 Piratsy Under the Seas Season 2 ep 1 Rescue Rangers to the Rescue: Part 1 Season 3 ep 1 Zipper Come Home

Warning: the audio for this episode is garbage. For the first episode of round 2 we have a powerhouse matchup if ever there has been one. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vs. Batman The Animated series. We introduce the format for round 2 which is randomly choosing 3 criteria to judge the shows on- and boy do we have some shows to judge. These shows are some of the most iconic on our list and it will be a ride to see what comes out on top. Bats and Turtles a classic matchup akin to cats and dogs, Ants and Ant-eaters, humans and humans. Who has the best jam? Which is the best of its franchise? All questions we will try to answer. We are also watching more than the top three imdb episodes, now we are watching the first episode of every season (up to 10 episodes). As always IMDB is our bible for episode numbers and season numbers. Looking at you Disney+ and your 1 season of 64 episodes for basically every show. This week we watched: Batman: The Animated Series Season 1 ep 1 The Cat and the Claw Part I Season 2 ep 1 Shadow of the Bat Season 3 ep 1 Bane Season 4 ep 1 The Terrible Trio Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 1 ep 1 Turtle Tracks Season 2 ep 1 Return of the Shredder Season 3 ep 1 Beneath These Streets Season 4 ep 1 Plan Six from Outer Space Season 5 ep 1 My Brother, the Bad Guy Season 6 ep 1 Rock Around the Block Season 7 ep 1 Night of the Dark Turtle Season 8 ep 1 Get Shredder! Season 9 ep 1 The Unknown Ninja Season 10 ep 1 The Return of Dregg Dear god that was a lot of turtles.

Rodents- some fly and beat up people with mental health issues, others ride around on motorcycles and hit on everything that moves. That's right this week we watched Batman: The Animated Series and Biker Mice from Mars, it was the 1st seed versus the 16th seed. Can you guess which one was which? We are talking about animation quality, music/sound design, writing, and overall impact factor. All the usual points, but there may be some surprises in this episode. This week, we’re watching: Batman: the Animated Series: Season 1 ep 35: Almost Got 'im Season 1 ep 17: Two-Face Part I Season 2 ep 9: Trial Biker Mice from Mars Season 2 ep 19: Hickory Dickory Doc Season 3 ep 11: Once Upon a Time on Mars I Season 2 ep 8: Back to Mars: Part 2

In this episode the bois explore Anthropomorphism; the tendency of humanity to attribute human traits, emotions, or intentions to non-human entities. Which is considered to be an innate tendency of human psychology. Turtles that act like people, Kats that act like people- What is not to love! Swat Kats and TMNT are similar in a lot of ways but only one show can come out on top. Will it be the shredding on the electric guitar that pushes the Kats to the next round? Or the actual Shredder that seals TMNT victory?  Episodes we watched: Swat Kats Season 1 ep 13 Katastrophe Season 2 ep 2 A Bright and Shiny Future Season 2 ep 9 The Dark Side of the Swat Kats Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Season 1 ep 1 Turtle Tracks Season 1 ep 2 Enter: The Shredder Season 1 ep 5 Shredded & Splintered

Peter completely forgot to post episodes for WEEKS! And now he remembered to! No excuses either Dave finished editing weeks ago. We have a pretty solid episode featuring, once again, drastically different shows. Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers and Beast Wars: Transformers. All anthropomorphic animals this week. Will the robots destroy the tiny mammals in a butterfly effect esq disaster? OR will the Rescue Rangers destroy the transformers via goofy hijinks? Episodes we watched:   Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers Season 2 ep 3: Rescue Rangers to the Rescue: Part 3 Season 2 ep 35: Short Order Crooks Season 2 ep 14: The Case of the Cola Cult Beast Wars: Transformers Season 2 ep 9: Code of Hero Season 3 ep 13: Nemesis: Part 1 Season 3 ep 12: Nemesis: Part 2
