Super Nuclear Presents

Remember the cartoons you loved as a kid? Do you, like us, remember mid-2000s Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network with a mix of fondness and terror – or, if you don’t, do you want to know what the fuss was about? Join Mary, David, and Ben as we revisit the cartoons that shaped us in an episode-by-episode deep dive, as well as the Internet fan culture as it was then and is now. How do these nostalgic shows hold up? What do we think of them now, as not kids but sad adults? How has the zeitgeist and Internet following evolved along with us? We set out to answer these questions and also to be incredibly hilarious and physically attractive. We started in 2017 with Return to the Past: A Code Lyoko Retrospective, which ran from 2017-2019 and makes up the first part of this feed. Second was The Ultimate Reprise, which ran from 2019-2020 and covers Oban: Star Racers. Then we started on The Avatar Recycle, hot on the heels of Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Netflix debut - and now, after a 2.5-year hiatus, we're back with Titan Talk, covering the 2003 Teen Titans animated series! Join us wheresoever you like. Watching along is not necessary - but highly encouraged – and we try to keep spoiler free up to the current episode!

In this, the """"lost"""" episode, it turns out XANA is much more powerful than any of us ever imagined, what with his cybernetic spiders and his robot army and his growing brains (I swear, guys, this is a thing that happens). Unfortunately, this revelation doesn't get nearly as much attention as a frankly unengaging attempt to convince us that a forgotten birthday is enough to make Yumi hate Ulrich forever. 

Meanwhile, in 'Murica, Mary and David exercise their own brand of all-encompassing power by engineering a way to talk about cloacas again. Marvel as David opens his Valentine's Day present live on the air, as well! (I mean, you can't see it, but you ASMR enthusiasts may be tickled silly by our paper-crinkling action.)

Season four keeps the hits coming with a rather touching episode about Yumi and Hiroki's fraught relationship - even if it does involve them all being very dumb in very entertaining ways. It also introduces William's snazzy new ship, the Rorqual, which looks like a Navskid with a Dib ahoge on it. Needless to say, it's pretty rad.

And speaking of sea life, Mary's quest to convince David to love isopods continues, Ben and David share their favorite anecdotes about incorrect usage of the word 'pimp,' and the 'Group announces their cool new domain name! You won't believe which mythical creature it's themed after.

We like this episode because Clone William is in it for about ten seconds, and also (thanks to some MoonScoop intern mailing the wrong model sheets to Vietnam, we presume) because the characters all wear their S1-3 outfits for one last, glorious time. But you know what? It's a pretty good episode regardless! This Francois Deon guy knows what he's doing. It's a pity he never wrote another one.

We also talk about Kingdom Hearts some more, give Florida the drubbing it deserves, and Mary makes some inroads into getting David to love isopods. Honestly, if you want any more than that, you're just being greedy. Give us your click already.

Hey... you into hot showers? No, not the ones from Urban Dictionary, you filthy little goofball. I'm talking about the giant meteorite that Xana sends hurtling toward the Earth in this episode of Code Lyoko. And it seems like only yesterday he was making food golems. How our little computer demon has grown!

Join Mary, David, Ben, and special guest Quinn as we recap it all as only we can (poorly). And if you were worried this would be the episode we finally stop cracking jokes about buttholes, you can breathe easy yet again.

It's real Lyoko hours! Who's ready for the episode that broke a million hearts (well, more like a couple dozen) back in twenty aught seven? Will Jim's long-rumored involvement in the making of Lyoko finally be confirmed, or will we get jokes about animal feces instead? I know which one I'm hoping for!

Come hear us bumble our way through yet another one of Lyoko's most infamous clunkers. Our final assessment may or may not surprise you! And if that's not your thing, then come to laugh at David instead. The f*ckin' weeb thought Death Cab for Cutie was an anime.

This episode of Code Lyoko carries a content warning for exotification of Native Americans. Discussion of this in the podcast episode starts at around 1:11:00 and ends at around 1:15:00.

Replika is the most memorable episode of season four - we know, because for once, all three of us remembered what the darned thing is about. Odd/Aelita validation, Nicolas wearing human boy pants, and heretofore unprecedented levels of queenly sass await you in this morsel of an episode.

Join us yet again as we not only discuss Lyoko, but laugh at Ben for accidentally conflating Michael Cera and John Cena, which is quite possibly the funniest f*cking thing that's happened on the podcast so far, and also make jokes about a black hole that is also an anus. [Editor's note: the black hole anus joke was removed for being too powerful.]
