Gentlemen, how are we today?
Good, but I need to know what word did you say about Rolanda?
What did you call them?
I called you guys the, my partners in crime, the dynamic duo themselves, which is Roli
and of course you, the Encyclopedia of Our Cartoons.
Okay, you say duo or duo?
No, you sounded dual, right?
I thought it was, I thought it was dual.
Yeah, D-U-O.
Yeah, that's what I understood.
Thank you.
It must be me then.
Now, for our listeners, it's good to be back for Season 2.
Now, for our listeners, just want a little background, a little behind the scenes here.
Frank's been preparing for that greeting, that intro for like a couple days now.
He's been practicing in his mirror.
It's been a few hours.
And it was great.
I was expecting a lot more.
I thought it was a lot more, but I like it.
I like the little tweaks to it.
I'm still waiting for it.
There's nothing to wait for.
I don't know what you're waiting for.
Thank you.
New season, new episode.
We got to change things up a little bit.
You know what I mean?
Like I said, I'm waiting for it.
And you're waiting for it, man.
I don't know what you're expecting.
Me neither.
You know what they say though, right?
Time waits for no man unless that man is rolling.
So just wait for it.
Just wait for it.
Well, you can't be waiting for it because time waits for no one.
Except for me.
Exactly.
Yes, gentlemen.
We are back.
Yes, we are.
So, Frank, you said it was a special episode this week.
What's so special about this week?
It is a cartoon that is very dear to my heart and to a lot of us.
It is what I like to call a versus episode where we compare one cartoon versus the other.
And today's is going to be G.I. Joe, the 1985 versus one of my favorite G.I. Joe Sigma Six.
And Sigma Six got a lot of static, but I really did enjoy that cartoon.
I wish they would have done a third and a fourth season, but unfortunately they stopped that too.
I'm one of the people who gave it a little static.
I know.
There was a lot of hate for it.
I don't know why.
I thought it was a great cartoon.
You liked the animation, not the story.
That's why.
Animation was great.
The characters were great.
Hey, the characters are terrible.
No, man.
The stories were awesome.
Corporal Commander, the way he looked.
Come on, he was awesome.
Destro, the Baroness.
Again, how he looked and how he acted is two different things.
And Corporal Commander acted badass on this one.
We'll check.
We'll see because I don't recall.
That's what I remember.
I don't recall Corporal Commander.
There's a few things that I didn't like about the animation.
I do remember Scarlet was cute.
Luke was okay.
Snake Eyes was all right.
Scarlet looked like he was 17.
That's why I said cute.
I didn't say hot.
That's just weird.
That's very true.
Yeah, I was going to, I'm like, Frank, what was it, Frank?
What was that one character?
Oh, Mary Jane.
I remember now.
I remember Mary Jane came out on the Spider-Man episode and you're like, wow, she's so hot.
And she's like a 60.
I did not say that.
Yeah.
So she's a little hot.
Oh, sorry.
I met MJ in general, not that one in particular.
I met just MJ in general.
When you say, hey, look.
The only time they ever did a bad job on MJ was with the, the first for Fighter Battle.
No, no, it wasn't that bad.
I was like, what was his name?
Tobey Aguilar?
Thank you.
I, I'm sorry.
That was just not a beautiful name.
And Kristen, oh man.
Kristen does.
That was a great Spider-Man.
That was, she was a good.
No, no, no, no.
I enjoyed the Spider-Man.
After that, they did a crappy job.
But I'm talking about MJ himself.
Especially her there and the one in the water scene when I say down kiss.
Come on.
That was great.
No, man.
No.
FYI, she was also on Star Trek.
The next generation.
Yes, she was.
I did not know that.
Yes.
Wasn't she the one that was in, um, interview with the vampire?
Yes, she was.
Okay.
No, wait.
What was it?
Was it?
I don't know.
The small little girl.
I know, but I don't think it was her.
No.
I don't think she was a small little girl that time.
I, I, I just want it was, but that could be wrong.
All right.
So let's get into it.
Yes.
Because we're going to be here talking about movie trivia as going, starting to search.
I see the, I see the screen come up.
I think you started to search.
All right.
So in this special episode versus the, I call it the versus.
Versus.
Versus episode.
Um, we're, we're comparing the original, the OG.
G I Joe.
Not a fair.
Episode.
It's not a fair.
It's not a fair fight.
It's not.
But it's still a good fight though.
I guess it's a good fight.
Yeah, but it's still a good fight though.
Again, so 2006 G I Joe, right?
What is it?
G I Joe.
Sigma six.
I, I always want to call it renegades because I got.
No, renegades way better.
Eventually renegades was good.
Eventually.
All right.
So, but we're going to start off with the OG.
So we're going to watch.
Um, this is going to be season one episode six.
Rebecca, we have a week of following countdown for Zartan.
Um, this aired, uh, September 23rd, 1985,
which was actually 30, nine years, nine months and two days
ago, and I feel super old.
So do I.
I was in elementary school.
Same here.
I hope so.
Frank, you're in high school.
Um, I'm lying, but you're like a junior, you're like a junior
in high school.
you were I wasn't even double digits guys I was not double digits I was not I was
not I was born in 76 so not double digits yet isn't I'm a nine nine year old
baby what happened isn't Zartan someone's favorite character yes mine yes
actually both episodes are heavy on Zartan okay this is good so a little
synaptus on this episode is Zartan disguised as a notable French scientist
breaks into the worldwide defense center on a mission to destroy the facility for
Cobra of course oh man yeah he planted a bomb so we'll find out and we'll see how
G.I. Joe defeats him I'm just gonna go in a limb here and say G.I. Joe defeats him
spoiler spoiler alert Zartan such a such a lame lame character in this one we
should have had a better one than this one listen don't be talking trash about
Zartan he was lame he was he's never lame he was lame all right really let's
make it happy captain let's go all right you know one of the things I've always
loved about these cartoons was the openings because you always get to see
what new characters yeah are there for this is an expensive there's an expensive
mothership that nobody bought I was so close to buy oh I I had decided to buy
when they said you decided after they didn't make the stretch go yeah but
that I was ready to go in but that's okay we I got you the 3d files so you can
print it print what the mother ship mother ship I need a I need a bigger I
need a bigger 3d printer different that you don't need a bigger boat I got you
can print this one out you're gonna print out the whale for Frank yes we got
this especially the mother ship you gotta print out the mother ship yeah I
probably and the the the the the the the plans I got you is for classified size
you can even do the cobra dome yeah I need a bigger one count down to Zartan
at least here they try to hide the fucking base this time they did yes yeah
usually just why do I put cobra symbol in everything come on man that's how
they know that it's theirs I got a question is COVID in the 80s
yeah COVID so COVID started in the 80s and commercial well I don't pay for
membership that's just over started in the 80s no COVID night cold rock oh
COVID why look at the the cover guys how we're masked yeah but wait you don't
get your helmet until graduate is the vaccine they're not they're not wearing
any mask they're teaching them how to be corba troopers well the best part is I
like the fatty thank you it's about time they put a jump for person in here man
you feel represented don't you I do I do okay I don't know there's no you got
soccer but they're ever black cobra yeah yes who a janitor who a janitor I was
supposed to say I was like you know what let me not when dusty when dusty the
message trade became a temporary trader and he went with the cobra oh that's
right he's the one that read it yeah the general was black
and and technically that's definitely that's black because it's a black voice
yeah but he's he's Irish I know it's got it she's Scottish same difference
remember I mean just a product placement ninjas of another color my boys there
yeah by way what isn't why does it a storm shadow do this all the time thank
you doesn't appear to be uptight
every screw every little box look at that man oh just we're powerful man we're
powerful I just showing you the white ninjas more powerful exactly say so you
guys though you have a fit in corporate just fine
yeah you're right he's not he's not Scottish I think that's rose like from
the island one of the islands you think he's Jamaican
look at his medallion the way he talks how the fuck did he get here so fast
he doesn't have his shirt white over with his chest hanging out so thank you
he's a pimp maybe he's Cuban now with that voice and then he has a pain his
eyebrows you know I just realized he painted his eyebrows on his mask of
course of course he buried the syndicates eyebrows of course and look how
amazing look how amazing Zartan is even full best job how how close are they to
the world trade center whatever have a call
what do you mean how close like right across the street the little camera is
that's where CPR enterprises where is it CPR extensive enterprise oh extensive
sorry you know what you know who you know who's see CRP enterprises who we are
I didn't understand the chestache and they're understood the chestache
the explaining it in the books in resolute what happened in
resolute and I've always been about that year and yes you were I said I've always
happened event he's always has been a fan of the thread knocks that's because
you're a root breaker you know is you don't like to play by anybody's not even
your own yeah so is Zartan wearing a fat suit yes he is
boy you could get away with anything of course he's Zartan seeing spirit just
reminded me of that robot chicken episode where everybody had the animals and
the animals are just making a mess everywhere all right so when when the
lady jay become the main character and kicked out scarlet like we pretend that
it's nothing interrupted us nothing interrupted us at all with a white
ninja running around this is these again no one paid attention back in the 80s
well here's here's my thing if if if Zartan had to dress up right to do all
this but storm shadow can just sneak in why not just get storm shadow I'm gonna
go with the same reason why he didn't want to do tanks he doesn't do tanks
either wasn't getting paid for it yeah okay that makes sense he must be very
expensive and Zartan's cheaper Zartan just want gold that's all he want
all the jewels that's all that that's all they were what it was about you it
was gold him and the twins
but yeah like it would have gave the bomb to storm shadow that should have
planted here brought it look at this where the cops and when did tracker
start becoming a ninja where he can actually handle season drinking storm
shadow that was a bit much I was I mean of course when I was a kid it didn't
bother me but now that I'm older I'm like wait a minute no because spirits was
our even the bomb has it's had the cobra symbol so you know who's who's
learning of force then then I'm spirit and I'm storm shadow fight for the second
piece of the weather dominator on the island yes but again what I all of a
sudden tracker is now a lot of things I mean spirit spirit balance with what I'm
getting that's cake though he's getting that's cake it wasn't for the spirit the
freedom freedom was it no freedom is first thing there's a guy saying he just
right keeps a column tracker he's that he got mask on the book okay but you notice
you notice a spirit grabbed him by his leg pick them up and then throw him across
so yes and all these and there's gun hole with our ladies lady jay ming and look
at that black guy right yeah right yeah right yeah right yeah right yeah right
yeah I can't hear I got occasion I got a black doctor oh oh two black guys
see shit you think they call you think they call him stalker because black guys
are stuck but wait women by way this this vehicle what's the name of that
vehicle that the dragonfly for the have it the skyhawk I don't see how that shit
flies and okay but what keeps it floating you know without it going sideways
wow Zart Zartan is strong our karate chop in the back of the neck I was scared with his fat suit on yep
okay so okay so storm shadow sneaks out with a dead body or a half-lit body if
he can't get out talking to a black man what's up with that
and look look look look look like they're everywhere this episode yeah how does how
does some shadow sneak out with a body carrying a car carrying a body over
himself through the fence with advance and yet and this is how lame Zartan is
yes he gets the feeling it's just by coming out oh shit ripped off his mask
and everything and that guy's gay all crikey oh shit he pulled when he take
off his jacket his pants came off too I need to learn that trick I need to learn
that trick for the ladies
how you know you can all that's a new leader take everything off at once who
is the guy to bring a doctor Zartan has a tank top it's he has a cutoff I mean
cutoff that's what I meant by the way it's not doing that thing with the leg
crossing if you were through a spear right into his back died and boom problem
solved but they but they got a look for the bottom you know you gotta look for the
bottom
so the two black guys are for why you bring a doctor in case if someone needs
medical attention but wait this is the only episode remember him being in no he
wasn't it who yeah doc save Duke what are you talking about on the movie but
that's an episode he was so and what facility has a jail built in again this
is how this is how doc saved the day no no gong ho did it spoiler alert you put
the looks like that or alert he adjusted his watch okay you're right why are
these two buildings so damn close to each other it's only been it's only been
like five minutes I already got back is it really really close he moves quick
I've never seen nothing I don't say does he do like Naruto or like this dragon
ball Z where he just teleports up the trees and shit man come on yes he walking
kind of sexy there cover commander because he left us 28 and now it's 12
it's been like it was like 10 minutes we have an apple watch at least to give the
black dudes the equipment to find it
so they're gonna be so wrong check the mic what is what is it they're going
through everything with a freaking mind metal detectors yes he wants to
continue being a terrorist of course clouds you want to die
rock wire rock wire rock wire man no no it's the blue one it's the blue one is
the red word right right red red oh if we let Freść before the
diffuser about that 100%
We are dead early.
Yep.
Yeah.
I wouldn't let them tell you.
Now they send the black man to check on our Moses day.
He said a doctor to check on a, on a, a mercenary.
You know, they have a poor, poor trooper hanging up on top of the mountain with the camera.
Yes.
The camera, right?
No, it's, it's retractable, man.
Hold.
How did the neck come off?
Just think comfortable.
Oh, look at that.
Perfect.
My father's guy.
Let me hand.
Let the spirit guy came in with a gun and he still gets.
A doctor.
Yes.
It's not invisible.
The guy could fucking visible wouldn't come in handy before.
I mean, and he did the Vulcan neck pinch.
Okay.
You know, they're going to done that before and instead of running into the guy who stopped them.
There you go.
That's good that I do that all the time.
Oh, so shadow talk like this.
No, no, no, no, no.
That was a warning shot.
The guy could destroy a target.
I don't know why.
Oh, shit.
That's a bad ass.
You wanted him to escape.
That's all right.
I will see one.
Yes.
Thank you.
You know this.
Change we have to wait.
What's up with the explosion on nets where the electrified nets or something.
What happened to all the people that were inside.
Oh, they're gone.
Yeah.
Anakin is a murderer.
Yes.
They're all dead.
And I can't kill them too.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
That was awesome scene.
Just with a young other topic alone.
He's a murderer.
Yes, you did.
Look, ladies.
Yeah.
And the fact that Frank enjoyed it.
Of course, because that's that's Lady J.
You can't carry a flash.
You need to carry a fucking flare in there.
Man, let's start shooting.
It's like freaking what's more color green arrow.
Yeah.
You can't open the sunroof.
Open the sunroof.
Yeah.
You have a big thing that says auxiliary power.
He is scared of the light.
It hurts him.
Oh no.
Does the sun hurt him?
I thought I just changed her.
Turnips isn't grimless.
You know, like a full moon turns a person to werewolf.
The sun turns them into grimace.
The same.
Again, terrible helicopter.
No protection.
It's just a propeller sitting on top of rockets.
Yeah, that's one of the first ones.
I feel bad for you.
You don't have shit.
Is that why you have so many things now overcompensating for your childhood?
Yeah.
I really wasn't into G.I. Joe.
That was a thing.
This guy knows how to do the fire.
I like it.
They've been paying attention.
My to-do list.
I know.
That was number two for me.
Kick his ass off.
Impossible.
He almost did a superhero landing.
Impossible.
G.I. Joe.
I don't know.
G.I. Joe.
Of course.
I don't know if G.I. Joe is number one or number two for me.
Of course, the black guy knows how to throw a ball.
They're like one foot away from each other.
They're like, come here, pretty lady.
Let me touch you.
Look how it flies.
Look at this.
Jets.
It doesn't make any sense.
It could just...
The rotors on the side.
It doesn't make sense.
It jets up and down and forward.
What keeps it from turning left and right.
There's no rotors.
There's no flat panels.
There's no wings.
CooBacre Commando is the only one who didn't get a parachute.
His favorite word.
I saw that, too.
Why did he have a white belt?
The new carded figure from Classified series.
the
which by way guys is she's very pretty
who's very pretty
scarlet
court she is
she got two different hair styles
all right so that was it we get a do i get a psa at the end of this because
no i don't think there is one on this one
it you know they have an educational visor
on these
do they really
yeah i was looking at the uh...
i was looking at the uh... the credits right
and it says educational visors and it has people p h g's
where is it
well i got a pause in the right spot
i think i went too far back there ten seconds is a big difference
yes it does
that's what i tell my woman but you don't listen to me
they never do buddy
and i would do
how well
you have a little bit what happened
even if you pay them
that you pay for their fine
it would be a very very big for what i've been told
for what i've been told
all right so educational visors you got to
uh... harvard university and educational consultant
wonder why
it's probably like okay this with this episode will make it drop off the bridge
so
alright so
that going to read
now
i go into ratings or anything guys but what i really know how doing feels about
this episode is i obviously not fan of zartan
i'm not is not a friend of zartan it does that it may look so soft
well they make other people look soft
i think the point the point the point there is to show you that uh...
good people you know bad guys don't always win you know that their losers
i guess
but no mention but i've always been a fan of the bad guys so they have to be
tough
why are you fan of that gets weird very weird like okay
so for our audience
so here i don't know i guess that that
the audience doesn't know us
i mean the audience is us three plus
some random families and friends
and thank you guys for listening
yes i'm gonna do shout out for the cruise family that i get all a day
they tell me all the time to listen
so
here's the thing
frank
is a wonderful person good heart and everything and every character he likes
are
bad guys
yes
me personally i'm an asshole
yeah i'll say i'm an asshole material person
and yet i was group for the good guys and i like the good guys
except for he meant but other rest of that i always go for the good guys
i don't understand why is that
what it's it's
it's the same reason why someone that's bald wants to have hair
someone that skinny wants to be fit
but someone big wants to be skinny
that's a good analogy
who wants to
who's baller wants to have hair why is that
i know i'm a nice guy i know i'm a good guy and i
i just want to be an asshole
you wanna mean i want to be that
but you're never you're never there
but i can't it's just not in me
is that apparently according to doin i'm an asshole
yes you are
yes according to doin he's who constantly
constantly reminds me
like why my friends are person constantly reminds me of an asshole but
i guess deep down inside of a bigger guy
i think you're a good guy
because i know you
course you know me longer you have
doin is no me for doin has known me
for twenty
well shit since 2001 realistically yes
four years
almost twenty four years twenty three years for sure twenty years help
alright we think about this episode
i will we're not going to we're not gonna grade at the end of the at the end
of the the podcast we're gonna grade
compare each each other
i thought it was a good episode
yeah i thought it was a good episode it was very
g i joesh
where you expect you know
over as a great
g i joesh that's what i'm calling it now
the g they have a great plan and
they fuck it up cobert fucks it up halfway through it
and cobert and realistically g i joe they do shit
and i have to agree with uh... roly and
trademark g i joesh
right typical free team g i joe doing these maneuvers
that makes no fucking sense
uh... for the commander has to i'm sorry cobert has to put on their
their emblem on everything which i've always loved
you know i mean
uh... i love the way which mokale dom storm shuttle just
beat the crap out of that tank but
has never done that to anybody
they're me just those
you know what i mean like when lady j
extended
her javalin and just ten feet
yeah
she just jumped over one of the uh... which mokale dom
dreadnoughts
rip-rock
if that was just a good idea
is that just hitting him with a fucking
pole at least
thank you smack in the head or something like it amount
she just jump she just catapults right over him
you know what i mean
it's like
yeah it's just a little things
we never really notice
well i didn't notice as a child
but i noticed now this like
okay that is so g i joe like
you want to be for back then
i enjoyed the episode
yeah that was a good one
i enjoyed it also
i just didn't like
how they portray sartan
as little pitch
yeah
well that's how they do with with all of them even desktops and cobra commander
they can be doing that shit man
snake uh... storm shadows the other one that never portrays a bitch
yes i just his voice just a noise the hell out of me
yes
because he's a chinese person from far away
i think so
well you're making a kind of mexican
you're making a kind of mexican
he's like oh yeah way no
he's just far away now
all right
all right let's move on to the next one though so it's also
sartan focus
uh... we're going we're going to we're going to jump ahead to
g i joe sigma six
which aired
uh... we do my dates here for my dates oktober twenty eight
uh... two thousand six right two thousand and six yes
uh... all right so this aired on the saturday so which means saturday morning
which probably meant i wasn't working because
again bad schedule
uh... but it was seventeen years seven months and twenty eight days ago
uh... so this is episode this is episode
six
no episode twenty four
of the series okay
sartan and dreadnoughts work on a power core where
some of its liquids and up enlarging some insects to giant size
so it's just up to g i joe to stop them
uh... in this episode we deal with the state that scarlet roblox
is this the first time
what uh... who's always have a duty
is that sigma six
yeah every duty is sick with the she had done on the big guy
is it a good time is it a person we're introducing a big duty
no you will introduce in season one not okay but i'm sorry for series is the
first series reintroduce a heavy duty
no heavy duty was in uh...
was it a
really roblox
no
he was with uh... he had he he had uh...
not the not the
the tank the the border is tank
he was a driver for the border is take
women the character that they drove the motorized tank was heavy duty
yeah
but is white
yeah what's that what they were
is that the right
out okay so they just read that to be the duty that for this one
but everybody thinks it had been do these roblox right
yes why i
arime
his is a great
they look a little different but this is like the first time i hear
the black a black character called roblox
sorry heavy duty
every duty
and he looks a little different obviously but
alright so we're gonna get started
and you ready
let's make it happen captain
ask me a third time
so this is already
not with the corporate base right smack in the middle of the desert
is this not a lot
now it looks like marge right
look how cool zartan looks
with his big ass boots
look he looks badass man look at him
i like he's Australian there
yes
who are you mean
and uh...
yeah it's so stupid
but they're not as intimidating as they were in the og
well here they're more of the uh...
the holes
so yeah
the comic relief
i believe it's tough
a beetle
and they're drinking the plasma i think they're gonna mutate
he just said put a stick in the barbie
yeah we can hear you
happy to hear us
do you have enough fat in this corporate manager
all of that corporate commander he looks badass
especially with the shield
that shield that he has
with the blades
okay the shield's okay
i don't like the helmet with the little cloth in front
oh i love that the mixture between the helmet and the hood
love that
and his uh... his waist is too small
see the dreadnoughts are little bitches
yeah here they're more of a comic relief
look how awesome Destro
and how freaking nice the Baroness looks
Baroness looks very nice Destro's fine
i'm okay
but yeah the Baroness is a nice nicely drawn
trying to use the anime feel to it
the nice long dark hair the glasses
and here and here the smart thing they did here is
the troops are all robotics
exactly
so you can have a little more violence you know shooting
and i wasn't a fan of snake eye sidekicks
that i'm gonna have to deal with you
i was not a fan
but i was a fan of high tech
because he met the um... all the gadgets
but i was a fan of what you call it snake eyes
other joes except for the sidekicks
and tunnel rat
was a little bit annoying he reminded me a little bit of uh...
rat trap
yeah yeah
it feels like it's a little scary
i think they were the same character
yeah
the vehicles are okay too
oh you know i still have that rhino right?
oh yeah
yeah man
oh there were no helicopter pops out of the top
but you never even opened it
i did it's actually opened nice
oh it is
i played when i was married
now i'm okay with this Zartan image here
i love this Zartan
i actually regret not ever getting this Zartan versus Sigma 6
really? i don't...
the same as the Sigma 6
oh man they were like talking man
yeah i would say they were a little bigger than...
i felt like they were bigger than classified figures
from whatever member?
yes
and they were like... and the proportions were right either
they bothered me too
well it's because of the whole waist thing
smaller with the big chest
yeah
so
look at the uniforms man
even the uniforms are sweet
yeah it's okay
i don't know where the Sigma 6 comes from
i don't remember
even dude looks badass man
i love looking at revamp on everything
no it's
it's different
it was different
i know i've been trying to watch... i try watching some of these series
Sigma 6 it's just not... it doesn't catch me
oh no it still catches me
you know i can tell you when
i first saw this
it was during
one of the hurricanes
in 2006
we lost power
and believe it or not you might remember this really
i had a handheld portable tv with that metal antenna
yeah i remember those
remember that?
yeah
and i was sitting on my recliner
and i was just
and of course it took batteries it wasn't chargeable
it took batteries
yeah like 10c and 10c batteries and shit
well this one took
a lot of double A's
oh shit
because it was really about this big
it was about this big it was like a wallet you know what i mean?
i remember it's so funny how people use it like oh my god there's a feature right there
it was
and i remember sitting
in the heat inside the place
and i'm going through the uhf
and i'm moving and i'm getting to channel 33 and all of a sudden
episode one
came out
not in 2006 i'm sorry 2005
episode one came out
and i was like what the hell is this
and dude i was walking around my whole place
trying to find a good reception
finally found one and i saw it
and then from there on
yeah
yes
i remember like it was yesterday ben
i think how scarlet
is looks asian but she talks southern
yes you noticed that
yeah it doesn't make any sense
she's like a little asian girl with red hair kind of reddish hair she's like
dude i don't know why we're doing this
it's like what? i reckon
i reckon i'm as nervous as a
ten foot tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs
it bothers me, tunnel is bothering me, narrow open eyes
noise eyes are always closed dude
and he's always hungry
and his metabolism is amazing
i did get that Naruto vibe
from him though
oh some of the characters? yes
but he was just annoying man
he was
what's this character's name? the one that
the guy next to the rat
that's one of his minions man
the little mentor, the one that snake eyes mentors right?
yes
kankura
yeah
kankura
and then the girl is jinx
which i'm glad they didn't change her
yeah
one thing i didn't like this is they were making it very much like those anime
characters so saturday anime cartoon characters
we got the dreadknocks acting silly
not being badass dreadknocks as they should be as mercenaries
we got buzzer just waving his laser buzzer everywhere
and then zartan's grabbing torch and aiming him
i really didn't like the way they portrayed the dreadknocks here
and i'm telling you i really enjoyed sigma six
i don't think we're gonna see snake eyes in this one though
no i don't think he's in this one at all
i don't think i think we missed out on that one
that he's not he's not joining at all
doesn't beat the og though
nothing beats the og
that's the way it was in the beginning and the og style they kind of respect
him too and then eventually figure out he was a
he was a was he was a nerd yeah and they created freaking and look another base
that same one is before in the desert but now it's in
the arctic under the ice yeah so how many of these freaking bases do they
i was it i was actually the same question how many bases do they have
they're just like seven or eight of them under different parts of the
country i think so oh look he's got two of them i think
they're gonna be a tenor or something
man you think when he eats his food gets in the little mass there all the time
no he just lifts up the what you call it um
he eats underneath the mask
oh oh they're in opposite side see it's a weapon
it's not a base it's a weapon look how badass corporate commander looks man with
the armor and everything what is this ten little waist oh he still looks
badass man ah what a tiny little waist
what's over roly it's over yeah oh my god
actually man i'm thinking about actually
watching the whole if it's available on itunes i'm thinking about buying it
oh i'm thinking about buying it or maybe i'll ask my sister is a boyfriend uh
to download it for me illegally don't say that don't say that don't say that
don't get very sad when you say no no i want D to remember that my sister has
a boyfriend yes it's so sad that he doesn't even he
didn't rejoin he just like no well unfortunately his laptop died
according to how does that work the brand new laptop he just doesn't charge it i
guess no so all right so it's it was a lot
better i what i was saying before and i'm not sure if you heard me
i know you're really i thought you were really into the cartoon and like i was
no no no you you went completely out but but then i almost said you're still
recording yeah and that's okay because i've been
when you talked i answered you so if i'm being recorded it'll make sense okay
perfect so it wasn't just you talking to yourself but
one thing i didn't like about this cartoon is
the fact that um they were very they're mirroring
they're mirroring the cartoons of the period like monster ranchers
uh uh where is it yoki where is it the the card
guys oh um not not um not pokemon but the other one
yeah yoku uh man okay remember i said it before
yokeo yokeo yeah you know how they're trying to be serious but then there's
always some comedy some silly comedy yes like they make the
little faces and you get the expressions and all that
they're doing that yeah tunnel right definitely
uh so that i didn't like the fact that they took the self too comedic
too much comedy on it i wasn't a fan of that
but it was a lot better than i originally thought i'm still not a fan of the way
the cobra commander is drawn okay the little waist the big armor big chest
and everything in a small waist like if you're gonna put up in an armor suit
make a mechanical looking like like uh death straw was like death straw was
um but other than that it was good i would have liked to see snake eyes
and uh star shadow yeah we got we got we got we got to
we got introduced to some random characters that were very popular
in the series well the well the reason why i chose this one was because this
was heavily zartan yeah it makes sense though
it makes sense because we get to see zartan uh with like a 20 year difference
right 85 and 2006 so we're gonna compare let's compare
that way so that that was my logic mm-hmm yeah which i think both zartans were
good uh dreadknocks were terrible
they're uh sigma six was just a bunch of idiots yes
if they would have made them i love the revamp but if they would have made them
a little bit more like the og put a little bit more
edgier and harder yeah then oh my god the dreadknocks would have been awesome
dude but they were definitely the comic relief
so yeah i wasn't a fan but other than that we're good
um all right so what do we do this what do we do i don't think duane's joining us
yeah but i'll speak for him
your vote your vote counts exactly my vote counts close
all right so all right so we'll do we'll use our our cartoon rewind uh
grading system here so we're gonna do we'll do each
uh and then do then let's pick which is better which one we think we prefer
okay uh but we our grading system is three things so we have
our rewind our rewind means that we love this episode we'll watch it again
uh and obviously we we we we should we love the rest of the series
oh shit here he is damn is he back he is back
all right it's okay uh frank already voted for you um
rewind uh then we have fast forward fast forward means you weren't a fan of the
episode uh this particular episode but you'll give the rest of the series a
try and then obviously we have the dreaded eject like get the cassette throw it
out and you never want to watch yes basura and you
never want to watch this again um so those are our three rating systems
so we're gonna rate each episode each episode in the series and then we'll
pick uh it will pick which series is better
uh and no one but here better picked sigma six is what i'm saying
so i'll go first uh yes it's a promise uh i'm gonna go first for the og the 85 the
zart countdown to zartan i'm gonna put that as a rewind
with the sigma six episode as a fast forward
really yes okay yes now frank you get to vote twice your vote counts twice
because dwayne didn't see the second episode
that's true that's true all right so all right so before frank frank you
before you go dwayne what what would you rate um
the og the the okay at sigma six
hello thank you
oh my god we suck
all right so frank what you're this i think i think you have an idea of what
i'm gonna say i'm sorry i'm trying to think so for gi jo the og the 1985
you know that is getting a rewind because that is
my number two favorite cartoon from back in the days and it still is
and i think we all know what my number one is
so for the og gi jo i'm giving that one a rewind and when it comes to sigma six
one of my favorites remakes not the favorites because that is freaking
always going to be gi jo resolute because that was that gi jo was made for
people like me right that you need a g i you need a
transformers episode version of that oh my god yes i do yes i do big time
but for the sigma six i'm also going to give it a rewind
because i am a fan of that series yes i am a fan yes all right so with that being
said so we have for the 1985 the original gi jo series we
have three rewinds which means guys if you haven't watched it please take your
time and watch it it's a rewatch great rewatch value
if you have og at joes please take them out and play with them as you're
watching um yeah or sell them yes and for the
a sigma six uh watch with caution it's most likely to rewind it's not most
likely to be a fast forward i would definitely give it a if you haven't
never watched a sigma six at least give it one watch
i'm not we don't agree with me and doin don't agree with frank where's a
rewatch where we gotta watch it more than once but it's still now
that's here's a silly question between both of the episodes
if you had to pick between the the original series or sigma six which one
are we watching guys personally yes
and before you answer that frank i do have the button here that can eject you
from this uh podcast i would eject you if you do not
pick the original series go ahead no pressure no pressure no pressure no
pressure at all yes well i know what you two are going to choose already you two
are choosing the old g
yes of course but out of doubt as much as i love you tell me sigma as much as
you're gonna tell me sigma six is better than the og i was just about to say
you know matter as much as i enjoy sigma six because it's more up to date
with the characters the artwork it's got the Japanese feel to it you know what
i mean i have to go with the og man i have to go
with the og the original gi joe from 85 man
you want to thank you thank you yeah because you know the og naming the
smallest character we had the fat cobra guy and he didn't make him as
as much of us a bit as a little wimped as true sigma six did uh you're telling
about the three troopers in cove it right yeah yeah yeah during cove it
with the mask on yes so it was that they didn't they
they didn't make a wood like whip they said a purpose yes so all right
i'm glad you made the right choice you get to stay with the community you get
to stay on the podcast a little longer nice i'm not getting voted off the island
that's for you did not get voted off yes yes all right and we have frank you
