No mystery here, gang... on this episode of the Retro Ridoctopus Cephalopodcast, we'll be aiming our flashlights on the American animation giant, Hanna Barbera! Host Nintenjoe starts out with a little studio history, before we dive right into into playing blocks of cartoon theme songs from 8 of our favorite shows!

Later, this week's "Octoponder THIS" will ask which classic Hanna Barbera toon you'd like to see a reboot of before Boss Rush Mode ends things with a brand new hockey themed segment he has dubbed "The Puck Stops Here."

On this episode of the Retro Ridoctopus Cephalopodcast, we bring the pew pew and a little rock and roll with a spotlight on the popular Mega Man series! Capcom's blue boy wonder has starred in more games, across more consoles than we can cram into a single episode, that's why for our first episode of season 2, host Parasite Steve has decided to concentrate on the original 6 entries for the Nintendo Entertainment System!

Later, we'll ask you to "Get Wily With It" to come up with your own, original ROBOT MASTER for this week's "Octoponder THIS". And to close out the episode, Nintenjoe snags the mic to highlight another underrated metal band in a segment we call "Power To The Metal"!

Alternate intro "Retrogtagon" by: Tino The San-Man

An underappreciated 80s gem, Captain Power and The Soldiers of the Future was definitely ahead of its time. Written by J. Michael Straczynski, this surprisingly dark, post apocalyptic series was aimed at both kids and adults but struggled to find an audience. We discuss the show, the VHS tapes and the brilliant line of interactive toys!

Later, for the last "Octoponder THIS" of the season, we ask for your favorite short lived TV show. And to close out the episode, Boss Rush Mode lets us know how he really feels about certain types of band logos in another edition of Petting Those Peeves!

This week, host Boss Rush Mode takes point to lead us on a mission through the seminal survival horror franchise known as Resident Evil! Though some may be more familiar with the film series, we point our flashlights into the dark, squirming corners of Capcom's original video game series. The originals, the remakes and even a spin-off or two!

In other words... zombies and lickers and tyrants, oh my!

To usher in the spooky season, host 8-Bit Alchemy is hell bent on dredging up our worst childhood frights! We've all experienced it. Sometimes a single scene from a TV show or a movie was all it took to leave lasting scars, but other times, the really scary stuff happens IRL. Stuff that even today, we can't explain.

A bit later on, we ask you to summon up your scariest childhood nightmare for this week's "Octoponder THIS". And to close out the episode, Boss Rush Mode shares some rage about restaurants, blizzards and even staples in another edition of PETTING THOSE PEEVES!
