This week we were honored to be joined once again by G.I.Joe writer Buzz Dixon to talk all about working on the movie and so much more. In Part One we talk about his experiences at Sunbow, Sci Fi, and his many Hollywood Stories. Part Two will be chock full of specific G.I.Joe Movie talk!

This is it! The final episode of the original series! And we’ve got Buzz Dixon back to talk about how he brought his real-life military experience into the script. Find out what everybody thinks about country music! Find out what that stuff in the cafeteria is and if even Gina would want to eat it (spoiler: *sigh* she does)! And … is that secret snake cult Jewish (spoiler: no, but how could anybody who’s sneaking backmasked jokes into children’s cartoons in 1986 pass up the chance to slip in a l...

Hot flyer on flyer action this week as Slipstream - or, as Gina calls him, Slipknot - takes on Raven - or, as Ray calls her, lady Cobra AVAC pilot. This is definitely the first woman of color we’ve seen in Cobra OR G.I. Joe, so we gotta wonder who the real monsters are here. We talk teeth monsters, bad floor traps, plus - take a trip to the GOO ROOM! Then somebody says “Clarke-Chan-ning Tatum” and everything just goes to hell from there.

This episode’s title doesn’t make much sense; no fatherly sins came back to bite anybody on this ass. In face, Destro’s dads did pretty good to round up that big ol’ snake/slug monster with twig arms. Not that you need to make sense to have a good episode. Find out how easy it is a to break a Joe (hint: it’s super easy - just tell them they’re fired) and find out just what the Joes think of Dialtone (hint: they haaaaaaaate him). All that and find out what that backwards message from Destro is (i...

Oh man, you continuity freaks are gonna love this ep! Hector Ramirez is back and he’s calling out all of Cobra’s classic bits! Ice cap melting! Currency counterfeiting! Sea serpent having! Plus, we talk about Flint’s gross, Axe Body Spray-wearing (probably) jealousy, Serpentor is petting his outfit like it's alive, and Ray and Gina try to convince Chan that there’s no age limit on keg stands (cue the Rappin’ Granny).

80s cartoons are weird, right? I mean, obviously we do a podcast about one, but we also talk briefly about the Potato Head Kids and hear a little of their theme song. Disturbing. Gina takes much umbrage to Ray’s assertion that holding your breath for 4 minutes is crazy and sets out to prove him wrong. Who wins? Well, if you’ve ever listened to this podcast, you know that nobody wins here. Everybody loses, just for different reasons. Plus, how could Chan have never seen Stand By Me? Support this ...

Just in time for Chan’s actual wedding, we’ve got a wedding on G.I. Joe! You can tell there was an *actual* wedding because Chan’s still falling asleep (time how long the pauses are between times he speaks! Guaranteed, if it’s longer than a minute, he’s napping). We talk froyo, gelato, David Lynch, and Gina’s attraction to Gung Ho (is it a spoiler to say it’s food-related?). Mindbender is great at playing with his organ, but Serpentor’s too rough and breaks it! Wowie! The double entendres are fl...

Want to know how to defeat Ray, Gina, and Chan? Listen to this episode as we talk about phobias, dreams, and Gina pegs Low Light as a Comedy Guy.

Gina didn’t have time to eat between work and podcasting, so naturally, this episode is all about food. Tacos, pasta trucks … hell, she ate three cupcakes during the taping alone. All we’re saying is you may wanna have a snack nearby while listening. This week, we uncover Shipwreck’s deep, dark secret. Plus, we discover what would happen if *we* were put in charge. Basically, Ray or Chan would destroy everything out of incompetence and Gina would crush the life out of everyone with her iron fist...

The episode that began it all! Well, for us, at least. This is the first episode that Ray and Chan watched as a test before the podcast began and it’s as batshit crazy as we remember. Aliens! Time travel! Sgt. Slaughter is a literal demigod! Absolute bananas. Plus! Hear what happens when Ladysmith Cat Mambazo wanders into the room (spoiler: everybody gets distracted), hear about King IKEA and, for some reason, Gina still loves Lifeline.

Gina is stricken with Rick Perry’s Disease this week as she tries to list the three things she wants out of the episode. Guaranteed, that Fake Polly is not one of them. We talk about how creepy Low-Light is, what a fashion icon Wet Suit is (as well as how weirdly comfortable Sgt. Slaughter is about stealing his identity), and Gina hips us all to the new lingo: Bunders.

We’re talking Bridges this week! Lloyd! Beau! Brooklyn! What odes that have to do with G.I. Joe? Nothing! Like that’s stopped us before. This ep has all the B.A.s - Bad Attitudes! Bare Asses! Bad Asses! Bald Asses! Bug … um … Anginas? Plus Kelp poops, a Cold Slither throwback, and just how many times can you say the titular line in an episode? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Not since the glory days of Crimson Guard #9 have we been as enamored of a faceless Cobra soldier. But the Battle Android Trooper in this week’s episode - lovingly dubbed “Chekhov’s BAT” - has stolen our hearts. In our minds, he’s still out there, somewhere, still kicking ass and staring soulfully off into the distance. On the other hand, we once again learn why the Joes are always in uniform: Because they look like absolute schlubs without them. Wet Suit - who we not so lovingly dub “Sweat Suit...

G.I. Joe goes to Comic Con and finds that not much has changed in 30 years. Steven Hawking- er, Jeremy Penser - joins Cobra and, unsurprisingly, Chan is into it. This is probably an only child/siblings split because Ray and Gina find Jeremy’s younger brother endearing. We talk Frank Welker, the awesomeness of Buzzer kicking ass while eating a sandwich, plus follow President Serpentor on Twitter @PrezSerpentor!

Oh man! It’s the James Bond episode everyone’s been waiting for! And by everyone, clearly we mean the writers of the original cartoon, whose love of ol’ JB shines through on a regular basis. See! Ray talk about “being all man”. Thrill! To the sounds of Gina forgetting who Cross Country is … again. Witness! Chan getting way too into Dr. Mindbender who, we should remind everybody, IS A GODDAMN CARTOON CHARACTER. All that plus a list of the differences between nerve gas and cream soda! Like, subscr...

Iceberg goes to the Island of Dr. Moreau … in the Arctic! If that sounds like nonsense, rest assured - it makes even less sense when you watch it. We cover the issue of Snow Job’s possible weight gain, wonder if the Meat Industry paid for product placement/tofu hate, and take a disturbing detour through wolf dicks (don’t google it).

Hal Rudnick is in the Terrordrome with us to talk Joe! We had to break the sad news to him about who is the better spy, Zartan or The Baroness. Gina forgets a name that wounds Chan deeply, but makes up for it by doing a classic gruesome Gina rewrite. All that and the joy of a Bechtel Test pass, but also a super rapey fail. And we figure out the hierarchy of Cobra … sort of. There’s a link to a flow chart in the show notes. Like! Subscribe! Patreon! Amazon! Hugs! Facebook.com/KnowingIsHalfThePodc...

Happy Thanksgiving, everybody! Or, as Chan would say: GOBBLE GOBBLE MOTHERFUCKER. This week, Leatherneck finds himself at the mercy of … cadets? We meet Buck and Sheila who, despite their names, aren’t Australian. We also discuss the merits of an evil marching band and whether or not ALL marching bands are evil. Plus, why the next Lord of the Rings reboot should star the Dreadnoks. And a healthy dose of Leatherbutt! Nazis are bad, you guys! Facebook.com/KnowingIsHalfThePodcast Patreon.com/Knowin...

Come back to us to a time where nobody knew a DAMN thing about computers. It’s Cobrathon - a telethon where Cobra raises a bunch of money and then … gets away with it? We discuss the feasibility of a snake subscription box and a rare instance of Chan acknowledging Ray is right. Weirdness abounds!

This week is all about Lifeline. And jiggling. Oh, and Serpentor’s finally back, so it’s kinda about him too. And Ray tries to sing “The Distance”; the episode’s not ABOUT that, but it will definitely haunt your nightmares for weeks to come. To be totally honest, the episode is also about weird discrepancy between the unstoppable murder zombie BATs and the wind-up tin robot BATs, and solid gold helicopters and how this episode is basically like reading Moby Dick. Don’t believe us? Listen to the ...

How many times can you say MacGuffin in an episode? We're about to find out. Plus - orphans! Cuddly little scamps or THE NUMBER ONE THREAT TO THE SAFETY AND SECURITY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE? You decide! All in all, this is one of the best episodes of the show yet - with a number of surprisingly sly adult references.

What happens when Ray stays up too late to watch an episode and hopelessly garbles his show notes? PURE ANARCHY. Who needs plot points or explanations of action? This week, Chan and Gina try to keep things on track because all Ray did was write down how he felt about things. Like baseball, there is no crying in ‘80s cartoon recap podcasting, so it goes about as well as you’d expect. Plus! Gina gets hiccups! Chan does a scary whisper voice that makes Ray upset! And … would you care for a stick of...

Man, this episode is dark. Treachery, loss, flashbacks. And Shipwreck goes just bug-nutty insane. Polly too. Like, to the point where even Gina can't defend them and she LOVES Polly.
