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!

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.]

Have you ever dug out a toy you loved as a child, only to find it dinky and unimpressive as an adult? This episode is one such toy. Much like Rise Kujikawa's omelette, it's brimming full of the ingredients we love, but comes out tasting like nothing regardless.

On the upside, we finally announce our upcoming project! I mean, we've been tacitly announcing it for months now, but this time it's official. Woo-hoo!

This is the episode where Jeremie gets his pea green and neon blue capris. We're sure other stuff happens in the episode, but we were too distracted by those godawful pants to notice or care. We advise you not to look directly at them for an extended period, as you will surely go blind or be turned into a pillar of salt.

But actually, a ton of stuff happens here. Like the delightful revelation that, in the world of Code Lyoko, the internet really is a series of tubes, or our in-depth discussion of whether it'd be fun to be a baby. There's also the time Sarah the Translation Shaman/Scientist schooled us about cellular biology. The details are too juicy to spoil here, but as is so often the case with us, they involve Jimmy Neutron.

Unspeakable Sex Acts broke up (for about a week), so no new episode today, guys. But Mary and David did take the time to read a whole bunch of your emails, so there is that!

That's right - we take a break from rambling about Homestuck and Smash Bros. and give YOU the floor to, er, ramble about Homestuck and Smash Bros. We know our audience, and our audience knows us.

So let us take you back to the year 2007, when Code Lyoko was still on the air, Carlos Mencia was making waves with his new strain of race-based comedy hijinks, and Steven Segal had not yet gone publicly insane.

Note: David has a few moments in this episode where his audio suddenly cuts out. I think I've fixed most of them, but let me know if you catch any more and I can see what I can do about them!

This episode was supposed to be a dramatic reading of Ben and Mary's old Code Lyoko crack fic. And it was! But then we decided we don't want to be associated with the thing anymore. We've grown up a lot in the past five years and we're no longer comfortable with many of the jokes that we once found hilarious. So instead of a whole lot of cringe, get ready for... well, a whole lot of cringe. But now it's about Smash Bros.

To make up for the lack of fanfic, we're opening up an extra hefty mailbag! Yu-Gi-Oh, Street Fighter II, Little Witch Academia, and an equation that turns you gay are but some of the topics we cover.

Not to yank our own dingdongs, but it isn't often that Code Lyoko and RttP are both in top form in the same episode. 

You want action, comedy, high-stakes middle school dramedy? Skidbladnir delivers. You wanna hear Mary, Ben, and David (but mostly Ben and David) break into an impromptu slapfight over Homestuck and wax nostalgic about the sticky horrors of puberty? Again, you've come to the right place.

Of course, we also eulogize every millennial's unofficial sensei, Stephen Hillenburg, who passed away on November 26. There isn't anything funny about that. But, in his honor, we've cranked the SpongeBob puns and references up to eleven. Happy trails, Ocean Man. You were number one.

Well, kids, here we are at the funny sex number. I bet you think that's a real laugh riot. You disgust me. (jk ilu)

Not only do we say a few things that'll fill you with the irrepressible urge to whisper 'Niiiiice!' to yourself; we also talk about silly cartoon characters with big heads. Oh, and Jess is here too! They make a few jokes about the dank kush, for your entertainment.

Anyway, this is the episode with Clone William. He make our kokoro go doki doki by holding various objects in kawaii ways. At least until he gets tired of being nice and goes ape sh*t.

Oh, and hey! No more royalty-free stock music for us! Let's give a warm welcome to the newest member of the RttP crew, Matt, who composed our hella tubular new theme song!

(This episode does contain a bit more talk about sex and weed than usual!)

We're not quite sure how to feel about this Jeremie kid. We want to believe in him - we really do! - but he's also kind of a sh*t. Which is a roundabout way of saying that this is the episode wherein we talk about relationship dynamics. Hooray?

But also, it's Subdigitals time! Remember when MoonScoop tried to make their own Cheetah Girls/Hannah Montana (or the Archies, if you're my dad)-style fake real band? We remember. The man wants us to forget, but we remember.

Also featured: a friendly lesbian analyzes Clone William (conclusion: he's gay), David teaches us the word "avuncular," and our own fake band awkwardly performs the Highwayman song from the spoopy elf cartoon. Join us - it'll be a riot.

If you thought the real Jeremie was kind of a sh*t, wait till you meet his clone! The only reason he doesn't wear a fedora is that his head is too big! Wait, we think that applies to the real Jeremie too.

But don't worry, this episode also introduces Clone!William. He may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least he wasn't looking kind of dumb with his finger and his thumb in the shape of an L on his generously-proportioned forehead. (Tune in for this and more hip references.)

Honestly, it'd be easier to list things that DIDN'T happen in this episode. You've got Jim Wisdom(?), you're got Penguin Recapitators, and you've got XANA-William being real creepy with almost no explanation. You've also got Ben sharing his expertise on cat toe beans, and part one of the RTTP Fashion Corner, as we say goodbye to the old outfits and hello to skintight spandex.

Ah, I remember this episode! It's the one where SpongeBob forgets everything except fine dining and breathing! Wait, no, sorry, I was thinking of something much better.

In this episode, the 'Group gets in the Halloween spirit by discussing Wolfman and the having of nards thereof (can you believe those chucklenuts Mary and Ben haven't seen Monster Squad?!), as well as each Lyoko Warrior's favorite horror movie, probably.

We also discuss the show's sudden onslaught of continuity, with everything from Milly, Tamiya, and Jeremie's feud to Odd's skulduggery regarding Paco, the King of Disco suddenly featuring in the plot. Oh yeah, and Dat Boi comes again. That's kind of important too.

Well, we hope you all liked or at least loved to hate William, cause he's basically not in the show anymore. That's right - dat boi has come and gone, leaving behind Ben and Mary's shameful memories and the usual sticky teenage residue.

And, AND, a perfect ten of a season finale! It's an enormous number of phone calls, not one but TWO long-vanished characters, and so many subplots you'll think Jasper Fforde wrote it. (Please email us if you thought that joke was funny.) And amazingly it all works together, leaving us in the end with Code Lyoko's usual sense of longing for answers we'll never have.

We also discover that a full two-thirds of the podcast is COMPLETELY WRONG about the greatest 80s song of all time (it's Africa by Toto, and nothing can change my mind, boys). And give heartfelt advice to teens about living life to the fullest!

The action ramps up as Code Lyoko delivers an episode with more plot-slash-William than usual, as well as more poo baths and nipple-pinching. Needless to say, there's a little something for each of your three hosts.

Join us as we jump-start your vague memories of the end of season three, as well as spoil the ending of a beloved video game (the one about the hat man) and, in a semi-related thought exercise, try to make XANA's monsters sexier. It's the kind of content only the Super Nuclear group thinks is good - that means you can't get it anywhere else! Give us a click and enjoy.

No, you didn't hallucinate this episode whilst high on jenkem - Ulrich really does briefly become a dog. There's other stuff too, of course, like the troubling implication that Mrs. Hertz swings, but Ulrich body-hopping like an angsty teen Mario Odyssey is the highlight. Unless you're the type that focuses on abject misery, because the gang does think Ulrich is dead for probably the longest they've ever thought a teammate was dead.

On the other hand, those of you who've wondered if Mary has ever glued her butt to a chair are definitely in for a treat, as your humble hosts once again expose their dysfunctions for your pointing and laughing delight.

In this episode, the RttP gang revisits an episode they all forgot and the Code Lyoko gang visits a grove of handsy trees, which reminds the RttP gang of why they blocked out the episode in the first place. Groovy.

On that note, this episode of Code Lyoko carries a content warning for a sentient vine going up a character's shirt.

In what is perhaps the most rambling an incoherent episode of the Rec Room yet, we discuss Code Lyoko: Evolution's series finale, ponder what kind of web presence the Lyoko children would have today, and Ben and David have a farting contest. (A fake one. Unless you're into that, sexually, in which case it's totally real and you should give us more money for our beans and chili budget.)

We are also joined by Teddy, aka The Tedster aka Ted. E. Dogg, whose tags are jingling throughout most of the latter half of this thing.

Every once in a while, we get an episode where the writers clearly didn't give a f*ck. This is one of those episodes. Now, being discerning and sophisticated consumers of media, we normally crinkle our noses at that kind of thing, but this time's a little different. Like a Flash cartoon hastily made by a lolrandom teen on Albinoblacksheep (anybody remember that?), sometimes a total unwillingness to give even a single f*ck can lead to great things.

This is an episode where Jim strongly implies that he once wrote a porno. An episode where an old woman challenges Yumi to gamble for drugs. An episode where the theater teacher complains that Kadic's anemic budget forces them to constantly reuse sets, which I can't imagine isn't a metaphor for Code Lyoko itself. It's like there was some kind of passive-aggressive slapfight in the MoonScoop office immediately prior to making this episode, and we are so there for it, because we are drama b*tches and make no apologies for it.

At long last, Dat Boi here come for more than like 30 seconds. But, but that's all the time he needs to make Mary and Ben feel ashamed of themselves for having had crushes on him as children. (Meanwhile, David points and laughs and hugs his Vriska daikamura.)

Why? Because he's a scrub, which, as TLC taught us, is a guy who thinks he's fly and is also known as a buster. So today we're here to kick ass and dismantle his toxic notions of romantic gestures, AND WE'RE ALL OUT OF ASS.

We also discover what tractor pulling REALLY is, and accidentally and tragically remind ourselves of the existence of jenkem. Speaking of, around 1:10:00 we have a truly awful conversation with lots of, not profanity, but bathroom words and ideas. We are all very ashamed of ourselves.

After weeks of teasing, we're finally showing you the goods. How well does The Pretender hold up, actually? Does it fly high like a crow possessed, or buckle under the weight of its awkwardness and casual racism? Will David be validated, or stomp away in an impotent rage like a Waluigi fan after E3? The answer may shock you!

And speaking of Smash Bros, which characters would the Lyoko Warriors main? Are we childish enough to stop the show dead in its tracks to laugh at a fake used car ad and troll Ben's sweet mother with incomprehensible coolkid lingo? Well, you probably know the answer to one of those questions already. Tune in for the other one.

Cards on the table: this episode is roughly 50% plot and 50% stinky feet jokes. Which, fun fact, none of us actually remembered until we were about five minutes into the episode!

And the weirdest thing about that is, it's still just as poignant as we thought it was back then. It gives us a ton to think about as far as Aelita's relationship with her father and her memories of her past, a big moment of tension with her and Jeremie, and one of the greatest moments of emotional maturity Odd has ever exhibited. But also there's foot stink. Just all of it, all the jokes. 

(But don't worry too much about that - we're still making our OWN jokes! Including one that made Ben literally spit water all over his room.)

IN OTHER NEWS! You've heard us talk about this for months, but we're finally doing it! To celebrate the long-awaited release of Teen Titans Go! to the Movies (not really), we're doing RAFFLES RAFFLES RAFFLES! That's right, three Funimation Code Lyoko DVDs are up for grabs, and all you have to do for a chance to score that sweet, sweet loot is support us on Patreon. The cutoff date is August 31st, so hurry up and give us your money already!

"Note that you must be at least eighteen years old to participate (y'know, in case a few frames of Ben's orc fan film snuck in by mistake), and also be comfortable giving us your mailing address.

We have a lot of fun here at Return to the Past, but every one in a while, an episode comes along that leaves us scratching our heads.

 

Is it Code Lyoko's attempt at being topical and political (it features both anthrax and Tamagotchi), recycled from a script for a mid-90s Jim Carrey movie that would never be, or simply an adaptation of a NyQuil fever dream the writers had one night? We'll probably never know.

 

Were Tamagotchi still a thing in 2006? Why does one of the government agents sound like Michael Jaleel White? Is there a God? Why did Danimals retire all their animal mascots except for the monkey when clearly the Strawberry Kiwi alligator was the far superior spokesman? These and many other questions will not be answered on our show today, with Mary, Ben, David, and our special celebrity guest, Mary's dog.

Just a heads up - both David and Ben had some audio issues in this episode, so apologies for any static!

Would you eat an apple that had fallen on the floor? What if that happle had been part of a giant killer food golem? That and other questions will be explored in today's episode of Return to the Past.

Our goofy cartoon villain conjures a food monster, our plucky kid heroes learn a moral about healthy eating, and the Russians are screwing with us again. It's like we're back in the eighties! Anybody got some cocaine?

Season three introduces its big new gimmick: Waelita (that's our name for Evil Aelita - we're trying to make it happen) and her penchant for deleting Lyoko one sector at a time. If only it hadn't done it in one of the lamest episodes since season one! The puns fly as fast as the ancient memes and Homestuck references as Mary, Ben, and David once again attempt to grapple with their feelings towards the latter half of the show. Only one thing is certain: at least one of us is getting fired. A lot.

This may not come as a surprise to any of you, but watching the start of Season 3 for the first time in a decade has confirmed for Mary and Ben that yes, they were in fact remembering it through the eyes of bitter angry teens. (David has well and proper gotten his revenge for "firmly grasp it.")

So we've come at Straight to Heart again with fresh new eyes, and in the process we've discovered more to love about it! We spent ten minutes trying to figure out French summer vacation system, sang the praises of Hiroki 2.0, and slowly but surely realized that slamming the brakes on the Yumi/Ulrich train was very much the best thing for Yumi to do.

We also carefully sidestepped trying to understand Time Cube, and instead basked in all the glorious emails we've gotten over the past week! Thank you so much, again, for this peer validation and peer approval.
