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 #15: Laughing Fit, or, The Plot Sickens 0
Jun 23, 2017

In this episode, Mrs. Hertz gets high and gives her students dangerous misinformation, so you know you're in for a good time! (That, itself, is dangerous misinformation.) The teen drama descends into cringe-inducing camp, and Ben descends into teen drama as the Odd/Aelita issue rides again.

RttP #14: The Trap, or, Elevator Antics 0
Jun 17, 2017

Today's episode is The Trap, and though your humble hosts had quite frankly forgotten it even existed, it's left us feeling quite emotional! 

Join us as David waxes nostalgic about his first crush (she's a triceratops), Ben shamelessly plugs Echoes of Echoes: Finding William Dunbar some more, and Mary makes Admiral Ackbar jokes so you don't have to. Also, we reveal the latest clue in the mystery of Kevin, and ask YOU to send us your fanart!

RttP #13: Just in Time, or, Aelita Literally Dies and is Replaced by a Clone 0
Jun 10, 2017

In this episode, Xana launches his most vague attack yet, many of the show's most famous plot devices make their second-ever appearance, and... Well, the title says it all. Also featured: your hosts making ridiculous trumpet noises, a hilarious voice acting snafu, and a delightful anecdote about the time David out-FN@F'd a bunch of fifth graders.

RttP #12: Swarming Attack, or, Mr. Henry Winkler, COVERED IN BEES 0
Jun 3, 2017

In this episode, the Lyoko Warriors learn what Ben (and superstar actor Nicolas Cage) have known all along: bees are bad news. We'd torch the whole lot of 'em, if they weren't a crucial part of the ecosystem on which we all depend. Crafty beasts.

Also featured: weird tangents about clowns and Sonic the Hedgehog. But we assume you all know what you're getting into by now.

Apologies for the sound quality in this episode! Both Ben and Mary need to be more disciplined about turning their external microphones on. Ben, specifically, in this instance.
