This week, your Oco-hosts will be spotlighting the great Cartoon Network! The network was there every day after school for a whole generation of kids, airing original toons alongside retro goodness! For this episode, each of us has picked two classic Cartoon Network originals to give a little history on and share our thoughts about!

And as always, lurking somewhere in there is this week's Octo-Ponder This as well as the return of a segment called DIE MONSTER!

With help of our bud, Russ Lyman (YouTuber, gamer, DIY creator, that Mario car guy) we dig up some hidden gems from the 16bit era! That means that game for the Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis and even the TurboGrafx-16 are all on the table! Listen to find out which ones we chose to spotlight! Heck, maybe you'll find some new stuff to play!

Later on we'll ask this week's Octo Ponder This (what game did you love even if most others didn't) and read off what the Retroids had to say in our FaceBook group! And to end things, 8-bit Alchemy will drop one final game for his first ever edition of Retro Nouveau!

The man, the myth, our wayward third host... NINTENJOE is finally back!

The term Nintendo Hard has been used to describe video games that are especially challenging (Dark Souls for one). For this momentous episode, we'll spotlight some seriously hard video games on the original Nintendo. Some of these games are beloved classics and others are more obscure, but make no mistake... there isn't a cake walk in the bunch!

Later on, we'll read the answers to an OCTOPONDER THIS question we posted all the was back on May 20th! And finally, Parasite Steve will try hijacking one of 8-Bit Alchemy's classic B Segments from season 1!
