This week, the Retro Ridoctopus​ cephalopodcast pays tribute to a true comic genius. Terry Jones wasn't just 1/6 of the legendary Monty Python, he was a writer, historian, director, famed Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian møvies (I think). So get ready for some bad accents and some even worse impressions because on this episode, we go through the 4 Python films, remembering and celebrating them as only fans can.

A bit later on, we'll ask this week's OCTOPONDER THIS question: "What existing female role would you like to see played by Terry Jones in drag?". And to round things out, Nintenjoe presents a brand new segment for 2020 that'll leave you asking "What You Say?".

And stay tuned for our preview of The Dorkening's mega crossover event, DORK-VANIA!

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!

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