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 #11: Plagued, or, Sewer Rat Drama 1
May 26, 2017

As we all know, the Parisian sewers are full of rats. But watch out! When XANA takes the wheel, these rats would much sooner eat our animated friends alive than yank on their hair and turn them into world-class chefs. Do various scenes of Yumi being a badass (and at least one awkward yuri tease) make up for this episode's oodles of scripting problems? Tune in to find out!

May 19, 2017

Welcome to the Rec Room, where the points are made up, the rules don't matter, and everybody gets drunk and kisses each other. This week, we're taking a break from our regularly scheduled program to discuss the (Kadic) bombshells dropped by Channel Frederator's recent "107 Facts About Code Lyoko" video. That was a season four reference, kids. Please stick with us.

We'll be getting back on track next week with a thrilling discussion of episode 11: Plagued.

RttP #10: The Girl of The/My Dreams, or, A Big Juicy Scoop 0
May 12, 2017

There's a new student at Kadic, and one of the Warriors is head-over-heels for her! Amazingly, she's NOT an American exchange student. That's right, it's time to get to know Taelia, aka the face that launched a thousand theories!

Join us yet again as we discuss one of the most notorious episodes of season one! Also featured: Jim/Kiwi fanfics, the possibility that at least one of the Warriors is a millionaire, and the kind of secondhand cringe that would make Pan Pizza blush. Nerdboys, make yourselves at home.

Also HAPPY 10TH EPISODE!! YEEHAW

RttP #9 - Satellite, or, This Show Is Definitely Set in France 0
May 5, 2017

You guys may not remember this, but once upon a time, having your cell phone taken away seemed like perfectly legitimate grounds for a student protest. Meanwhile, Pick on Yumi Week reaches its peak as XANA tries to nuke her from space.

Join us as we talk freedom fries, poke gentle fun at Overwatch fanboys, and reminisce about the good old days, when people had to make emojis with their faces.
