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!

RttP #4 - Log Book, Live from the Intersection of Lincoln and Franklin 0
Mar 29, 2017

Apologies for the less-than-great audio from Mary and David in this episode, but we were recording in THE SAME ROOM which was a great arrangement for all parties concerned.

Log Book - an episode that David rightfully remembered as great and Mary and Ben were taken to task on. On today's show we tackle the big questions: How much character development can one show fit into a Speed homage? What the heck were the ONE pair of street names we had to remember for our Americanization goof? What does Ben REALLY think of Odd/Aelita? How do electric cars work?

Opener: "Un Monde Sans Danger" by Franck Keller and Ygal Amar
Outro: "S'envoler" by Herman Martin, Serge Tavitan, and The Subdigitals

RttP #3 - Holiday in the Fog, or, The Closest Thing to Bruce Willis 0
Mar 22, 2017

In this episode, Ulrich, Jim, and Sissi are trapped in a closet as a toxic fog spreads rapidly throughout the school. Coincidentally, a fog also spreads rapidly through Mary, Ben, and David's skulls as they try to think of something, anything, remarkable to say about this utterly unremarkable Code Lyoko episode.

RttP #2 - Seeing is Believing, or, Flight of the Foxtrot Fanatics 0
Mar 8, 2017

Only two episodes in and already there's singing and dancing (ball's in your court, Joss Whedon). Join the RTTP crew as we discuss underrated vegetables, fail to identify French public safety workers, and react to unexpected emotions we thought we'd never feel again - all right here in Seeing is Believing!

RttP Episode #1: Teddygozilla, or, What The Heck Is Goin' On 0
Mar 1, 2017

In Code Lyoko's debut episode, an evil computer demon turns a teddy bear into a kaiju. What could be more relatable to our audience of millennial tweens? Check out OUR debut episode for all the context the series itself utterly fails to provide! And yes, it's spelled "Teddygozilla." No D.
