Ever wondered what it would be like to revisit your childhood favorites with a fresh, grown-up perspective? Fasten your seatbelts, as Andrew and Liam jet back in time to 1985, for a comical commentary of the Christmas special of "He-Man and She-Ra". We'll be your guides on this nostalgia infused journey, introducing you to the universe of these iconic characters, from King Randor to Orko. We'll even be questioning the logic behind He-Man's not-so-effective disguise and the Christmas tie-in. Prepare yourself for a ride filled with laughter, surprises, and maybe even some tears! 

We don't just stop at the surface. Along with our light-hearted banter and reminiscing, we also delve deep into the world of the shows' original voice actors and take a look at the nostalgic animation with our modern lenses. We'll break down the uncanny similarities between Prince Adam and He-Man's voices, and playfully critique Orko's reckless actions leading to a crash landing on Earth. We welcome you to share your thoughts and join in our discussions about the iconic characters, and why a certain child seems to be He-Man's doppelganger.

And who could forget about She-Ra? Join us as we navigate through an episode of the 80s cartoon, highlighting the nonsensical yet entertaining plot and characters. We'll examine the introduction of two Earth kids to the planet of Eternia, and share our thoughts on the absurdity of some of the characters' actions. We'll also focus on the intriguing rivalry between villains Skeletor and Hordak, and their comedic attempts to impress a mysterious cloud man. We conclude this trip down memory lane by introducing you to a new character - a friendly robot named Manchi! 

So, grab your best friends and some popcorn, and get ready for a fun-filled journey back to Eternia, where the impossible becomes possible, and the ridiculous becomes memorable!

Living with Maidalee. Living with Maidalee. Living with Maidalee, maidalee. Living with Maidalee.

Speaker 2:

Hello and welcome to the second Christmas episode of the podcast Living with Maidalee. I'm Leroy, not going to pretend I don't know who's there. I'm joined by Andrew, good afternoon.

Speaker 1:

How's things going? Yeah, so this could be a watch along, and my internet's not been very good today and so I might keep going, because it's going to be a watch along, so we're going to have to do it live, but hopefully we can get through this by pure grit, I think it is. And this termination, yeah, great, and determination. So you know, apologies if it's a little bit shit, I'm going to order something that try to boost the internet for the rest of the episodes for this series. But this is He-Man and She-Raw, a Christmas special 1985. I will have almost certainly watched this, but I don't think I've watched it since. What about you, liam?

Speaker 2:

Well, I'm not sure you would have watched it in 1985, because we would have been three, wouldn't we?

Speaker 1:

I don't know. I mean yeah, but they'll have done repeat.

Speaker 2:

I've probably seen the reruns of it. Yeah, anyone who wants to do this with us, I appreciate this. This doesn't work if you're travelling or driving, but if you are sat somewhere where you want to do the Watch Along With Us, go on YouTube and search He-Man and She-Raw, a Christmas special full episode, get it lined up, get the advert out of the way. So skip the advert and then press pause at 00.

Speaker 1:

Don't do that out on half one, it's the 44 minutes 24.

Speaker 2:

44, 24,. Yeah, and we're going to tell you the second that you need to press play if you do want to do the Watch Along With Us. But don't worry, hopefully you won't need to see it. We'll describe it that way, that it'll be fine.

Speaker 1:

So let's hit it Right, Are you?

Speaker 2:

ready. Shall we do the three. Are you good to go? Shall we do a three, two, one, yep, three. So it's not on one, it's three, two, one, then go and it's on go. Are you ready.

Speaker 1:

Yep Three, two, one go.

Speaker 2:

Go.

Speaker 1:

Happy birthday. It's not. It's Merry Christmas and it is happy birthday innit.

Speaker 2:

So we've got a snowy background. Film day for me.

Speaker 1:

It's earlier, are we? Oh, we're in the castle, I think. I think we're in Graceville. Yeah, I'm not a human expert, but I think I should know enough to get, perhaps, man of Arms. Man of Arms is there, so they're all just in. Yeah, I think they're in Graceville. Ooh, magician, sheera, sheera. So it might not be that Sheera Alan.

Speaker 2:

Sheera. You've got to stop calling Sheera Sheera, because it's Alan Sheera.

Speaker 1:

I should mention this is actually a crossover as well, because He-Man and She-Ra are never actually like, as far as I know, weren't in each other's episodes.

Speaker 2:

So while we're setting the scene, is it that's the?

Speaker 1:

massive man of Arms. I think it's a bigger show.

Speaker 2:

Well, this was my favourite show He-Man Probably when I was around about seven or eight. I don't actually remember much about it. I had so many action figures I've never really gone back to it. I don't know too much about it. Do you know most of the characters and most of who we're seeing on screen here?

Speaker 1:

The guy talking is King Randall, who I believe I live in Edmund. Yeah, I don't know where I live in Edmund. To be fair, king Orcos here now. King Randall, I think, is the father of He-Man and Sheera. And now, we've got.

Speaker 2:

They're cousins, aren't they?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, oh no, they're cousins. Oh yeah, they might be cousins, actually We've got.

Speaker 2:

Man of Arms here.

Speaker 1:

He's fathered in both. Yeah, we've got man of Arms and Prince Adam. Prince Adam obviously is the man before he becomes He-Man. He's a bit like the clock-hand of the. What you thought with Prince Adam is everyone has to go with Superman for having a shit disguise. How bad is He-Man's disguise? It's just him without his top one.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, surely everyone knows that, mate. Is anyone who isn't sure that he's He-Man?

Speaker 1:

Do you have any two people, I think, who know, man of Arms and Orco, the two people we've got here?

Speaker 2:

So this? Obviously we're kind of watching. It's early days. The little magician thing's just got in a spaceship Orco. Is this? I don't know if you've seen this before recently Is the Christmas tie-in? Just that it's snowy in the background, or is there a? I've no idea, I can't remember.

Speaker 1:

I can't remember. I hope not Orco's done something wrong here. He's set a rocket off. So, orco, what happened? What happened? They look really concerned, prince Adam and man of Arms.

Speaker 2:

So man of Arms, by the way, Is he kind of his right hand man?

Speaker 1:

then man of Arms. Yeah, he's like I say, he's the only other one who knows that he's He-Man, man of Arms.

Speaker 2:

This little wizard thing, by the way has got ear holes cut in his hood. I've never seen that before.

Speaker 1:

Oh, and it says oh, he's in space now.

Speaker 2:

Oh, this is a problem that I just had. We've got the title music, yeah, but I had an advert then, Did you not? Oh?

Speaker 1:

no, I didn't actually. No, where you up to now, it says He-Man and She-Ra on screen. Well, I'm a little bit in front of you so I'll press pause. Are you on 310 coming up?

Speaker 2:

I'll tell you when I'm on 310, 37, 38, 39, 310.

Speaker 1:

Written by Don Heckman and Bob Forward what a name. That is Directed by Ernie Schmidt and Bill Reed. And who's that? Lou Schneider, lou Scheimer, lou Scheimer, the executive producer. Unfortunately, don't get the actual He-Man music there. Oh the main man's here Skeletor and that's two heads. Because he got two heads.

Speaker 2:

The Skeletor. Is he the main man or who's running the show? Skeletor, the top dog.

Speaker 1:

I don't know the top, but basically He-Man's powers pretty much all come through Grayskull. So the entirety of the two series is Skeletor trying to take over Grayskull to be even more powerful than he is. So I don't think anyone's quite on top.

Speaker 2:

So if Skeletor took over Grayskull, he would be able to do the He-Man type thing and become a more powerful version of himself.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's already powerful, so does he?

Speaker 2:

know that Adam is He-Man.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's the main man, though, and we're getting the first change into He-Man.

Speaker 2:

He's not taking long, does he?

Speaker 1:

Just because he's gone into space, he's decided to become He-Man. To be fair, all he's done is took his shirt off. It's mad, iron Cross, but you did the Nazi Iron Cross. G-rod just watched him run past looked quite confused. Yeah, so obviously G-Rod knows. Well, g-rod would know, wouldn't she?

Speaker 2:

So Skeletor is chasing the little wizard man. Yeah, A B-Man doing a little con. He-man's in the worst, like least aerodynamic, crappy little spaceship you've ever seen. Look how small he is.

Speaker 1:

Spic-o, spic-o's there.

Speaker 2:

Do we ever know why Skeletor has like a muscly body but a skull head?

Speaker 1:

There's a couple of things about this that I've heard before, where apparently some people say it's magic to make him look more fearsome and other people say he burned his face in a time. You know, a bit like Jack Nicholson's Joker at night, aren't you A bit like Jack Nicholson?

Speaker 2:

A bit like Jack Nicholson, a very camp character. Any Skeletor.

Speaker 1:

Skeletor. The same guy, alan Huffinheimer, does the voice for man at Arms as well. I sent you a video, didn't I earlier about the original voice for Skeletor, because obviously now, like in the cartoon, his voice is hey man, what's on your?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, very sort of like hey what?

Speaker 1:

you doing man.

Speaker 2:

A bit like the Monty of.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's not like the actual original idea.

Speaker 2:

He was originally. What's the monkey called that? Keith Harris does Orville. No, no, Orville's the bird innit. What's the monkey? Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Have they got like a horse's?

Speaker 2:

name, like David or something like that Something. Yeah, I can't remember. Anyway, it reminds me of him a little bit, but yeah. She-roz just came in to save the day. She just saved He-Man, though.

Speaker 1:

It was right up top round the corner. I told her to save him. He looks furious.

Speaker 2:

I thought we were going to punch her or he just punched her spaceship. It did look like he was going to punch Sheera, straight Sheera. He punched a hole in the spaceship.

Speaker 1:

I'm just going to call her Sheera from now on. Yeah, so that thing's really happening to me. Fair, just that. Skeletor's still chasing Orco, neiman and Sheera.

Speaker 2:

I've just punched Skeletor's ship, but nothing's happening yet he's just been a magical spell Orco yeah, it looks like that's gone wrong as well, is it?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's fucking Wang Orco, isn't he? He's going into space again because he's fucked up, can he even fly there, oh no, he's not flying Sheera's down into a unicorn Skeletor's, once again furious with his henchmen.

Speaker 2:

This guy sounds like you when you're internet's not working Rats.

Speaker 1:

All that where no Spikey Edmonds, Spikey Edmonds, I think he's full Spikey Edmonds.

Speaker 2:

Skeletor's ejected everyone from their ship because they can't turn it, because Heeman and Sheera punched a hole in it. So they're all parachuting out now.

Speaker 1:

This is our room for Skeletories. What do you think of the animation? I like it. I don't know if you've noticed he's like nostalgic. Look how bad his face is for this, heeman. Yeah, he's bad, isn't he? It's like a ship, it's like a car, it's like a carjog and fun house.

Speaker 2:

It's like a mobility scooter, isn't it?

Speaker 1:

So they're in space now I don't know how obviously they can breathe in space, because they're not human. They can't be human.

Speaker 2:

So this little magician man got in a spaceship, flew it away.

Speaker 1:

I've got an advert now.

Speaker 2:

Your advert got donkeys on it?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it has.

Speaker 2:

Can you skip it now? Yeah, can you?

Speaker 1:

skip it 151, 152, 153. Yeah, exactly the same. So they're back on it.

Speaker 2:

No, it sounds like Donald Trump. I can't understand. Oh.

Speaker 1:

Prince Adam? No, yeah, I don't. That's another thing. With Prince Adam and Heeman, they've got the same voice. Why is no one noticed? Oh, I reckon that's Earth.

Speaker 2:

Orco's gone to the wrong planet.

Speaker 1:

Orco's tried to go back to the. I think it's happened here. Orco's tried to go back to Eternia, but I think he's going to end up in Earth. Yeah, Chris took it so far is it no, but now it is now Got some snow, he's crash landed. I think he's on Earth here, orco.

Speaker 2:

He's done loads of spins out of his ship, aren't he? Yeah, he's done loads of spins.

Speaker 1:

He's a bit of a fucking liability. Any Orco's with that. He's going to do all this. Nothing would have happened.

Speaker 2:

There's no story without him just taking off in a spaceship randomly so far.

Speaker 1:

It's cold now. Yeah, it's cold. He's icy on Earth. I think this is Earth.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think you're right. I think that's what's going to happen. Yeah, it's a sharp felt now. Here we go. Someone's collecting two children of taking a Christmas tree home. Here's the Christmas connection, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1:

But there's an avalanche coming for him. There's all snow and avalanche coming for them.

Speaker 2:

So he's just casting a spell to try and save these two kids from an avalanche?

Speaker 1:

Is it going to work? I reckon it will do. He'd be great if he killed but two kids. He's not actually saved them. What a weird way to do it. What he's done to save them is float them into air. Why don't you just float the snow into air?

Speaker 2:

I just melt the snow. Yeah, he's made them fly to him, he's made them fly towards him, and then he's dropped him. He's flew them all that way and then dropped him.

Speaker 1:

Why does one of the kids look so much like E-Man? Did anyone have that hair? Like it's the same hair cut?

Speaker 2:

Little girl looks just like.

Speaker 1:

E-Man yeah, is it a girl? Yeah, it is, isn't it He-girl? They're a bit worried because this fucking floating red thing with a big O is coming up to him saying alright, what's going on? You would think he tried to drown you in the avalanche, wouldn't you?

Speaker 2:

I would suspect him straight away. What is it?

Speaker 1:

And Sheera just said Orco is missing. They know he's missing.

Speaker 2:

They've just been fucking chasing him and E-Man said I know Orco is a great guy, totally great guy, One of the best.

Speaker 1:

Great guy, super guy, beautiful. Look at fucking Manor arms. Manor, that is a Manor arms. If you've never seen E-Man, you may as well switch off now. But if you know a little bit about it or just want to Google it, we're talking. Just look at Manor arms. What a name it is as well.

Speaker 2:

I had a figure of him. He's one of the few that I remember.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I think most of them to be fair. So, orco's now, it's quite slow. This, isn't it really? Orco's now just talking to these two kids, these two kids here are thinker, telling him about Christmas.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, he's took them to his spaceship. It's a bit sinister, isn't it, telling him about Christmas. Yeah, yeah, yeah he's got terrible hair.

Speaker 1:

this young chap, they've all got terrible hair. It looks a bit like traveling blade. One of the kids. Yeah, so these two kids now are explaining to Orco what Christmas is all about Manor arms.

Speaker 2:

She-Raw, He-Man's mum, are all trying to figure out where Orco's gone and how they can get saving.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's Tila Tila's here as well.

Speaker 2:

Well, they need to carry him water crystal. Apparently She-Raw knows that it might be one.

Speaker 1:

She-Raw sucks so much like you don't get cartoon characters like that anymore. Like, oh my God, it's unbelievable.

Speaker 2:

Do you?

Speaker 1:

know what I mean. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So they've just told him the Nativity Baseclaves, just told him about baby Jesus, kind of Bethlehem.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

These two kids in Orco again were back.

Speaker 1:

Hmm, I've got another advert.

Speaker 2:

You got another. No, no, I'm still going, so I'll pause it. Hang on, come on 12.29, so tell me when you get there 12.22.3.24.25.26.27.28.

Speaker 1:

29, now Come on.

Speaker 2:

Right. So She-Raw is going to go in search of crystal. She's the sister.

Speaker 1:

Prince Adam just said you're my favourite sister. I don't know how many he's got. All right, she-raw is now going to go in search of crystal.

Speaker 2:

So she's gone to magic bit now, yeah.

Speaker 1:

Oh, brilliant theme. I don't know why new classes can sing this.

Speaker 2:

What's her name before she checked, because obviously he's Adam. What's her? What's She-Raw's name?

Speaker 1:

Oh, that's a fucking great question. Give me a second, I'll have a look while we're here.

Speaker 2:

She's got a horse, so he's got battle cart, she's got a horse, that kind of turns into a flying horse.

Speaker 1:

She's Princess Adora, Right She-Raw Lisa's still talking about this. The kid's going back to boring orco. I've gone. I don't like orco at all. About you.

Speaker 2:

I don't like how his body's flying around and his head's perfectly still, but it's a lie. Do you know this boy I don't like to look of? It reminds me of remembering whatever happened to the likely lads Not to the other guy, the horrible air the other guy yeah. I was with her maybe, and I was talking to She-Raw. Yeah, she's gone to look for this crystal that they need, although somehow orco got there without a crystal. But he did use the magic spell, didn't he? It's not that I didn't hear what you said then.

Speaker 1:

It's the.

Speaker 2:

Andrew's gone full roblox, so just bear with us. No, it's like a joke, it's like you're putting it on. Just keep her in tiny bits and then you go again.

Speaker 1:

Hello, can you AMA? Yeah, you're there again. So She-Raw is just a short story about the mermaid trying to find this crystal.

Speaker 2:

She's flying with some dramatic music. Where are we? So I'm guessing it's going to be back to Skeletor and his crew. This looks like he kind of run down into a small place.

Speaker 1:

No, because Skeletor Skeletor lives at Snake Mountain. They still don't like Snake Mountain to me. No, but Sinister music playing. Yeah, it's definitely a bad day. Oh, I know this will be. If I know my aim on this, it'll be a guy called Hordak, so She-Raw's got this dark industrial estate with bad music.

Speaker 2:

She's running.

Speaker 1:

That would be super hard. Oh, it's the pool of the beast monster. Whatever that is, she's wondering.

Speaker 2:

If anyone's at home and instantly we can see some bubbles, this will be the beast monster. No mate says keep him busy. I presume she's going to try and find the crystal Unicorn unicorn?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, do you believe in unicorns? No, no, I like I thought about it. Oh, so unicorns flying away. So basically, she raw is keeping this monster occupied while the mermaid gets crystal.

Speaker 2:

He's just like a hole. Yeah, yeah, very much so. That's it. He's just tripped him up and he fell in a hole. That's him done.

Speaker 1:

That's him done. Yeah, that's it like. So he's not even. Yeah, she's got the crystal. Mermaid, mermaid woman's got the crystal. Let me out. I've got the crystal. I've got the crystal. That we're a mouth organ, by the way, I'm trying to do a mouth organ. I've got an advert. The fans begin you got an advert. Now I have a nice life, so I'll press pause this, this advert thing.

Speaker 2:

This is you. What minute you're up to?

Speaker 1:

16, 20, 16, 25.

Speaker 2:

Oh, we're about same anyway.

Speaker 1:

Are you ready?

Speaker 2:

Uh, now, all right, let's go. So some kind of robot thing is coming out of a hole, some kind of sensors. She raw thinks that's a she raw, she raw Bit like a kind of iron giant type characters just popped up.

Speaker 1:

Hmm, it's like me on this fucking call.

Speaker 2:

Oh, all of a sudden, these three giant robots are confronting her. I need to get past those things it's bad acting in it.

Speaker 1:

I know you have to do this in a cartoon, but Presumably that was an advert breaks.

Speaker 2:

There's no reason for that pause there.

Speaker 1:

No, oh, oh, it sounds like the robot sound like. Get my proper robot, get, smash, get.

Speaker 2:

The horse sounds more medicine and skeleton when it talks it's unbelievable.

Speaker 1:

I never knew that the unicorn sounded like that. That's anything, and she's robust.

Speaker 2:

What's their plan now, then? Playing off? Are they just turning spaceships? I think, yeah, well, this one's turning. It's like a tank. They're like transformers.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, he's well. He's exactly like transformers in it.

Speaker 2:

They've flown off and left her trapped in this bubble. Why? I can't figure out exactly where they were going.

Speaker 1:

She's now gonna break out, don't know when.

Speaker 2:

I don't know why she waited to break out. So she's cutting through the glass now with the magic.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, very easily, very easily.

Speaker 2:

Perfectly spinning round out.

Speaker 1:

Wow, spinning round out here like a Ryu sort of kick to get out of this thing, and now we're back. Uh, we're away, right, fucking Prince Adam and man at arms, and she's back to Princess Adora.

Speaker 2:

So they're putting the crystal in. This is supposedly what's. Let some get to earth, is it?

Speaker 1:

It's which what we're nearly all face in jingle bells to them now. I'll close back with these two kids singing jingle bells. I've got an. After fucking hell, just get into that Right. 1853, 54, 55, 56, let's go.

Speaker 2:

We might have to rethink some of these watch alongs or download the videos or something, yeah that's a good one in future.

Speaker 1:

But, yeah, we'll download them in future. Uh, it'd be easy to do. Uh, so this will not carry on, but we're experimenting on them.

Speaker 2:

Orcos took them into like a Sort of teleport bubble or something as a. Ah, so that's what they were doing. They weren't trying to get to earth. They beamed orco back, but orco for some reason has grabbed two alien kids from his point of view and brought back with him to another world.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so they brought the two kids to a turn here. Why act exactly as they can breathe on this planet? Liam, you're a scientist.

Speaker 2:

He's brought he man, girl, and not the life of that sparring man back to grey school. Well, yeah, it's a risk, isn't it? They could have just passed out, it could have imploded or exploded. Then what's happening?

Speaker 1:

now.

Speaker 2:

So we're on a rock, traveling through space and meteor, if you will.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm sure, if you will, I. What was that?

Speaker 2:

some kind of sort of cloud monsters in this rock he can only see eyes, but he's. He's just sort of spirit of goodness has appeared in this world. I presume that's kids in their Christmas magic. Yeah, yeah, so they've kidnapped those two kids and took them to another universe. So now she knew it was the queen.

Speaker 1:

Duncan.

Speaker 2:

I didn't know that one. Duncan Duncan, is he right, is it how?

Speaker 1:

do you say that Duncan Duncan good you.

Speaker 2:

So she's saying we don't have Christmas here, but it's the twins birthday tomorrow.

Speaker 1:

That's why they were doing happy birthday. And the twins.

Speaker 2:

Another twins, even man. Yeah, he man and she era.

Speaker 1:

Who's saying that it's not like a trouble. I who's saying it and say I was a great guy.

Speaker 2:

There was presents, like a presence, what I'm not. I'm going on skeletons here. Hello, I was going to see this kind of cloud evil thing. So he's not top dog then is he skeleton. Seems to be taking orders from this thing, yeah.

Speaker 1:

There's another guy with Skeletor is hordak. So hordak is the main villain in shiro and it used to be Skeletor. I remember and they turned against each. Yeah, they turned against each other. You can't even handle that bad. It sounds ridiculous Skeletor there, because you can't even handle that. Muscles found female Sheer off. They're arguing already on.

Speaker 2:

But big cloud giant things smashed its hand down and told them shut up. Seems like it's a cloud, but somehow it's got like a robot arm. What robots in.

Speaker 1:

Skeletor is an absolutely fantastic character. I know he's like, not, he's genuinely funny.

Speaker 2:

We are halfway through the episode, so summarize We've got two kids from earth on gray skull. It's earlier telling him it's earlier, telling them they're going to get him home soon, don't know how. So the skills doing a magic trick now and the guy's quite a camp, looking managed, playing a guitar.

Speaker 1:

Yeah. So what all has happened so far is orco crash landed on earth and he's brought these kids to eternity show just to say, hey, look at this planet. And that's all that's happened in itself.

Speaker 2:

I really I've got another advert.

Speaker 1:

Ah man, I'll have a good book. We'll, we'll, we'll. Next time, we'll, we'll not do this.

Speaker 2:

We'll stick with us, we'll download them and yeah we won't get adverse next time, so 2245 me. Ah, yeah, we're about same, then I'm on 2249, 2250 2250, right there is. So the kids are singing a christmas song, yeah, although it's one I've never heard before.

Speaker 1:

I haven't heard this Christmas Like the koala slash. We're like psychedelic ears dancing with orco. What's that?

Speaker 2:

Is that how she wrote?

Speaker 1:

I don't remember that and presumed that's how she wrote. I've never seen this little guy before, but is having a good time with orco, aren't I the laughing the laughing their heads off for some reason that song.

Speaker 2:

That's most ridiculous looking spaceship I've ever seen. So skeleton and his May have come in like a slipper, like a boot or something. Yeah, like a boo. Yeah, they're beaming up. The kids, the the guitar playing gay man tried to fire an arrow at them.

Speaker 1:

And they froze him in Like in time, or they got orco as well. Why would they take orco?

Speaker 2:

So he wants to go back to this area. They've got the kids.

Speaker 1:

I don't know this camp guy is we attach? I presume he's a insurer.

Speaker 2:

Genius. They just told Adam that they couldn't save him, and he's thought about it and said the first thing we have to do is save them. They should never have brought him here. It's their own mistake.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, yeah, yeah, no, no. So these are to blame, aren't they? If this were Crime Watch, what's his name used to do? Crime Watch, Nick Barry? No, not Nick Barry, I don't mean me. Anyway, it'll be say, well, you've got to say you know, when you talk to a cop after you've got to say these didn't help the situation, did they? He went and she wrote now they didn't know. No, they certainly didn't help.

Speaker 2:

So the big robots that cornered, she raw saying we want the kids that you've kidnapped and is fine, what's going on now? They've got all the weapons trained on Skeletor's guys. I think hold that is competing with Skeletor yeah they're both trying to be the ones to bring them back first, aren't they?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, to impress that cloud man.

Speaker 2:

Just run like Scooby-Doo that you know. We run on the spot. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's just done the same, he's run off and said he's going to go and tell. Is it Horde Prime or something? Is that the? Yeah, whatever it is, yeah, yeah, he's gone off to tell on these robots, or Doc has stayed with the kids he managed. Here are a kit it up ready. Fraction.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yeah, yeah, one with a peacock. This matter so psychedelic. Do you know where? A toy line before it became a show?

Speaker 2:

Speaker 1:

Double head man. Catch it brother, catch this one brother. So, Eman's just thrown one of the bad guys into the other ones, like Skittles.

Speaker 1:

Hold prime. Have come Hold prime. Is this massive fucking shit that hold that thing is, and it's looks like they're going to get these kids but Skeletal's now Dogs managed to wake Skeletal up. Oh, Skeletal, because I must save the children.

Speaker 2:

You must save the kids. You don't know what's come over him, but you've got to save the kids.

Speaker 1:

And he's done that. He's fucking blown this, fucking all that prime thing.

Speaker 2:

There's a grabber that came down for kids and Skeletal smashed it up.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

The ship's flying off Crashed.

Speaker 1:

Even the shears have done fuck all this episode. Really aren't they? So the first time, james Corden, tom Daley saved him first time. It's his fault, they're here in first place. And the second one, skeletal, saved him.

Speaker 2:

Oh that prime. It's not half of Skeletal. It's got him in his targets for some kind of gun.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, the cheerer says let's send the troublemaker back home. It picks up my fucking hell. I've got one. Yeah right, just skip it. Right, we're fucking downloading. Next time, I don't care if we're doing a podcast, that'll piss me off. Why is it so many? Is that 18? I'm first.

Speaker 2:

They're right. By the way, they're coming to thank Skeletal. Give him a hug.

Speaker 1:

They're all coming to thank Skeletal. Skeletal's confused. He's embarrassed, isn't he? He's got his hands over his eyes. He doesn't like feeling good. He must tell him that he's feeling good.

Speaker 2:

He says he doesn't like to feel good.

Speaker 1:

No, sheer says don't worry because Christmas only comes once a year. Yeah, so that's it. They saved the day.

Speaker 2:

Now we're back in a turn here. I think it is Elie in the Ned man. He's putting a star on top of the tree. Yeah, so they're celebrating Christmas now. How many days have these?

Speaker 1:

kids been away from Christmas. Think about these kids' families. They must be destroyed.

Speaker 2:

I know yeah, He-man's giving him a flying belt. Yeah, I think he's asked Prince Adam here.

Speaker 1:

We didn't see him cringing, did we? Or what's his name? Bartol? Yeah, that's a good point. Actually, I'm just sending him a little bit of a message.

Speaker 2:

I think he's going to be a bit of a fan. Yeah, that's a good point actually.

Speaker 1:

I'm just sending him home behind a line.

Speaker 2:

Merry.

Speaker 1:

Christmas sheer.

Speaker 2:

She looks like a young Sharon Stone.

Speaker 1:

Oh, they're back, Fucking. Look at the drag. So these kids are back on Earth. That looks like fucking. You know, when it's scouts, they're in the infield. Yeah, yeah, definitely. Countdown, countdown. Hey, where have they been? They've been with you, been what? Calm down, calm down.

Speaker 2:

We've been missing for days. You've come back with new coats and flying belts.

Speaker 1:

And they said they'd been on another planet. And scouts man saying eh, don't be fucking deaf, it's bedtime. Imagine you've been missing that long and as soon as you come back, they've gone.

Speaker 2:

I don't know where you've been for three days and why you can fly, but it's bedtime. Somehow they were watching him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that reminds me he must seem to think that she genuinely didn't. She, or didn't know it was him dressed as Father Christmas.

Speaker 1:

Yeah right, yeah, some old stuff saying Merry Christmas towards the viewer.

Speaker 2:

It's brought the third wall.

Speaker 1:

Bro, yeah, he brought the third wall.

Speaker 2:

It has been the like this fourth, fourth, not a third wall, the fourth wall, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

We get Prince, Prince Adam's final thoughts, which happened at every episode. It was like a moral at the end, you know what I mean. So he's like saying it's a season of love and joy and he just talked about Christmas, but this happened at every episode. You know, it looks a lot like he man in terms of his drawing. Your Roy race rather over's yeah, yeah. Looks unbelievable like.

Speaker 2:

So I say it's done. Yeah, what do you think? I Enjoyed it far more than I thought I was gonna early on. Yeah, mmm, Good, good. Yeah, I wouldn't predicted Skeletor turning good for a Christmas episode.

Speaker 1:

So yeah, you got into the Christmas spirit. I enjoyed that. I really did enjoy that. Will sort out the water lungs in terms of adverse and shit For future episodes, but that would just attestable.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, yeah, we'll download them. We'll tell you ahead of time for watch along. So if you want to do the same, you can. And yeah, hopefully we fast a challenge.

Speaker 1:

Speaker 2:

Yeah, next one You'll hear will be trying to do 90s, christmas TV adverse, but we're not tying ourselves too stringently to that way. Just just Christmasy sort of TV adversity. Could be a bit later, could even be earlier, but yeah, we're aiming for 90s house.
