S4E5 - Ep 072: The Greatest Cartoon Reboots (with Justin Cooper)

Sometimes things are just better the second time around. In this episode, we spotlight 8 of the best rebooted cartoon series ever!

A whole episode that proves that sometimes, the second time really is the charm.

With the help of returning guest (and host of the EPIC TALES FROM THE SEWERS PODCAST) Justin Cooper, we present a slew of really well done cartoon reboots from recent years! Reboots tend to get a bad rap, but trust us, these are worth your time!

Later on, we'll tackle this week's OCTOPONDER THIS question before Nintenjoe takes us out kicking' and thrashin' with another POWER TO THE METAL!

S4E4 - Ep 071: Mystery Meat & Potatoes (with Randy Carter)

We welcome back our pal Randy Carter (from the band Swarm of Eyes) to dish out some school lunch memories!

This week, 8-Bit Alchemy scoops out some mashed potato-memories and choccy milk dreams as we talk about school lunches! We made sure to cover the good, the bad and the ugly, all with the help of returning guest, Randy Carter from the thrash metal band Swarm of Eyes!

We'll also read a bunch of Retroid responses to this week's OCTOPONDER THIS question: "What was your favorite drink to take to school in your lunchbox"? We also have a great voicemail from Christine (AKA Mrs. Parasite) which includes a menu item we never got in Massachusetts as well as a hard-hitting commentary on some major faults with the school lunch system in America.

Later on, Parasite Steve will drop another BOOKSHELF OF THE DAMNED on your collective lap with the brand new horror thriller "Road of Bones" by Christopher Golden!
