Computer, select the best agents for this mission!

The Mobile Armored Podcast Show is a rewatch podcast of the 80’s cartoon series M.A.S.K. Hosts Adam Moore and PJ McNerney are hitting the rewind button and taking you on a wild ride back to the era of neon, synthesizers, and cartoons that were blatant toy commercials—but oh, so unforgettable.

Remember the thrill of Matt Trakker's adventures and his crew of oddly skilled agents? Well, Adam and PJ sure do, and they're dissecting all 75 episodes with the perfect mix of fondness, bafflement, and a hefty dose of "Did they really just say that?!"

Listen along as we peel back the layers of this 80’s classic, pondering over the show's logic-defying moments and the peculiar decisions of its characters. From the bizarre case of Professor Stevens waking up in Matt Trakker's library to the absurdity of Alex Sector's animal care fiascos; from the physics-defying flights of a certain red Camaro to Matt Trakker’s questionable parenting and leadership strategies, Adam and PJ invite you to laugh, rethink, and maybe cringe a little as they uncover the curious charm of this 80’s gem.

Whether you're a die-hard fan or just another Child of the 80’s like us, tune in every Monday for a trip down memory lane with a twist. Buckle up for the Mobile Armored Podcast Show—it's going to be a hilariously bumpy ride through nostalgia and beyond. Catch you on the airwaves, M.A.S.K. fans!

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Matt Trakker, Scott, and T-Bob are continuing their European vacation with a trip to the Netherlands to enjoy the tulips, the windmills, the amazing construction and maintenance of the dikes…and probably some pharmaceuticals that are uniquely legal in Amsterdam. All of a sudden when one of the dikes is shattered, nearly drowning our intrepid travelers! Time for Matt to abandon Scott…er…I mean, to investigate this mystery. Meanwhile, T-Bob thinks he see...

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! When the ghost of Caesar haunts the Palantine Hill to scare off Matt Trakker’s workers, there is only one thing to do: Time to call in Scooby Doo.

(We don’t remember that from Latin class… but I suppose it is a great way to ignore the Roman Republic’s systemic issues of class ...

Bruce Sato vs. Dusty Hayes

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Here's a great idea for an episode of a children's cartoon: a disgraced finance minister decides to manipulate currency in order to cause an economic collapse. What ten-year-old wouldn't like that? At least we have plenty of Dad jokes, a goat attacking T-Bob, and... oh, yeah... Bruce threatening to beat up Dusty. Buckle up!

Matt Trakker Plays God

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Remember how much you respected and admired Matt Trakker when you were a kid? If you had known he was secretly funding gain-of-function research on flesh-eating bacteria, would you still respect and admire him? If your answer is "yes", then you're our target demographic. If your answer is "no", you're also our target demographic. All that, plus T-Bob gets dunked in slime, we prove Buddy Hawks is a V.E.N.O.M. agent, and Hur...

Matt Trakker's South American Love Child

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Matt Trakker, Scott, and T-Bob are enjoying some down time in Rio de Janiero…with a mysterious woman and a young girl….who might look suspiciously like Matt?!? What is going on here….? Oh, also V.E.N.O.M. steals, in the words of Miles Mayhem “a worthless painting”…only to have it turn out to be a map to a hidden stash of gold secreted away (along a lot of military equipment) by a certain infamous Party who may have taken over Germany in the 30s and 40s...

Hurricane Hondo

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! If you were introducing a new toy into the franchise, would you name it after a serial killer? If your answer is yes... then you are the target demographic of this podcast. If your answer is no... I guess you'd prefer it be named after a devastating storm that claims the lives of thousands of people every year... and you would also be the target demographic of this podcast.

M.A.S.K. & V.E.N.O.M. Make New Years Resolutions

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! What does the leader of a rogue vigilante group make for his New Years resolution? What about the incompetent leader of a terrorist organization?

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! If you had "firing gigawatts of electricity into T-Bob" on your BINGO card, you win! Yes, potentially destroying Scott Trakker's one and only friend is how M.A.S.K. plans to foil a V.E.N.O.M. plot. Hey, at least they have a plot, unlike last episode's disaster. This episode also weighs in with the most dad jokes per minute of any episode so far. So get ready to groan along with us on this week's episode of the Mobile Armored Po...

The Worst M.A.S.K. Episode Ever

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Folks, Miles Mayhem is not doing well. You need go no further than the latest episode of MASK to see the once mighty VENOM leader kidnapping pandas from China and abducting a sculptor and... forcing the sculptor to desecrate moai (those giant heads on Easter Island) by imprinting the faces of VENOM agents on them. So, please, folks... please, send your hearts out to Miles Mayhem. He isn’t himself... because who in their right mind DOES ANY OF THIS?!? h...

V.E.N.O.M.'s Desperate Cry For Help

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! WE'RE BACK FROM HIATUS! Unfortunately, V.E.N.O.M. probably wishes they could go on hiatus. Once the mightiest terrorist organization in the world, Miles Mayhem's bunch has been reduced to living in a leak-prone shanty in the middle of the jungle. It's not even for an evil scheme... this is just where they live now. Sad. That, plus T-Bob becomes a God (again?), Scott threatens T-Bob with a hammer, and one of West Coast Hip Hop's grea...

Brad Turner's Weed

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! After a rock show, Brad finds some weed(s), grabs a mysterious briefcase, and sets out on a madcap 24 hours in Los Angeles. Now THAT'S an episode of M.A.S.K. we could get behind. Instead, we get a lazy V.E.N.O.M. plot, even lazier M.A.S.K. agents, and Scott's quest for diabetes.

Matt and Gloria Get Married

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! What would you give Matt Trakker and Gloria Baker for a wedding gift? She-Ra's belt? The Eye of Sauron? Maybe dinner at a revolving restaurant or a ride in Thunderhawk? Here's what Miles Mayhem got them -- the worst V.E.N.O.M. plot in the show so far. (Hint: it involves vacuuming money.) That, plus Scott and T-Bob are abandoned once again! Time for another Mobile Armored Podcast Show! https://www.instagram.com/m.a.s.k.podcast/...

Matt Trakker, Arms Dealer

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Another one of Matt Trakker's billion-dollar military boondoggles goes missing. Are we more worried that Matt is clearly an arms dealer, or the fact that these weapons systems go missing so often? Plus, Scott is nearly killed by a Rube Goldberg device, Dusty's IQ drops several points, and... could it be... the BEST M.A.S.K. battle of the series so far?

Dumpster Diving with Scott and T-Bob

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! What would possess the child of a billionaire to go dumpster diving? Maybe it's the trauma inflicted when his father abandoned him in the Egyptian desert with a stranger he only met 30 seconds ago. Let's dive into the dumpster of Scott Trakker's psychology in today's episode of the Mobile Armored Podcast Show! https://www.instagram.com/m.a.s.k.podcast/...

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! When you think "Mardi Gras", do you think parachuting clowns, Disney copyright infringement, and drug labs in the swamp? Because M.A.S.K. sure does! All that, plus Scott tries to kill T-Bob (again), Sly wears a headdress, and Buddy Hawks has the most 80's mustache you've ever seen.

Matt Trakker Made Us Take Labor Day Off

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Yes, you read that right. Matt is being kind enough to give us the day off on Labor Day. And by that we mean he was ordered by a federal judge.

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! This week, Bruce hugs a topless guy in the snow, a 65 million year old virus is unearthed, and V.E.N.O.M. builds a shopping mall in the Arctic Circle. So, pretty much par for the course. Plus, Scott is abandoned in sub-zero temperatures, and T-Bob comes one step closer to rebelling against his programming.

Gloria Baker and the Dumpster Fire

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! This episode starts with such a great premise -- a nuclear submarine controlled by a rogue A.I. threatens the Panama Canal. But that's where the greatness ends. What we get instead is a complete dumpster fire of an episode. Twenty-two minutes of M.A.S.K. toy commercials would have been a better use of the time. However, dumpster fires make for great episodes of the Mobile Armored Podcast Show! Won't you come dumpster diving with us? https://w...

Scott Trakker's Ice Cream Addiction

If you are easily disturbed, disgusted, or lactose intolerant, you might want to skip this episode. On the plus side, we've got very petty gangsters, Miles slumming it, and Matt's continued bad parenting on another all-new Mobile Armored Podcast Show! https://www.instagram.com/m.a.s.k.podcast/...

Scott Tries to Kill T-Bob

Send a Priority One Message to M.A.S.K. HQ! Yes, it finally happened. After years of neglect from his father, and after watching his father's rogue paramilitary organization at work for just as long, Scott finally snapped and tried to take out T-Bob. Was it successful? Listen to find out. Also, more lost cities in jungles and even more questionable money-making schemes from VENOM.

Having said that, if we were forced to come up with ways for destroying the jungle, don't you think giant caterpillars would be last on that list? Well, not for Miles Mayhem, whose latest scientific achievement is used for the dumbest reason possible. That, and a new redhead enters Matt's life who is sure to make Gloria jealous.

What about a trade-in deal at the local car dealership? Nope! Thunderhawk is sacrificed in order to... well, if you can figure it out, please let us know. That, plus the M.A.S.K. team visits an amusement park, Scott shops for yachts, and T-Bob's nihilism reaches new depths. What's not to love? https:...
