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. Now we're on The Avatar Recycle, hot on the heels of Avatar: The Last Airbender's Netflix debut!
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! Follow us on Twitter at @super_nuclear, or send us your feedback at supernucleargroup@gmail.com!
513 Must Go – A Super Nuclear Pokemon Miniseries | Episode 1: Inapproperate Boober
After nearly a year since our last Titan Talk, deep in the ennui and tension of adult life, Mary, David and Ben heard a calling. Nay, a stirring in our very souls. And so we came together in the dying days of the Skype messenger service, on a sacred and singular mission –
To cut the Pokedex (almost) neatly in half.
That’s right, as veritable boomers raised on the original 151, we have come to the conclusion there are too many Pokemon nowadays, please eliminate three. And so we’re going to go from start to finish, examining each evolutionary family and deciding which would stay if, theoretically, half of them had to go to a farm upstate.
This miniseries will go generation by generation for the first round of cuts, then narrow down once we get an idea of the state of things. We hope you enjoy, and if you have any questions or comments, feel free to send them to supernucleargroup@gmail.com! Boy is it good to be back with you all!

TT #9 - WHAT WERE THE CHIPS FOR??? (Masks)
Masks, the debut of Red X, is considered one of the best episodes of Season 1 - so why did we think it was so mediocre? The plot is bare-bones, questions go unanswered, there are so many opportunities for emotional fulfillment and character development that are just glossed over, and the twist, oh the TWIST! Who ever saw THAT coming??? What is this, a show for ten-year-olds? (It does have some VERY cool robots, however.)
Be warned that this episode is rife with Cat Behavior from a few usually-silent guests. Ness was indulging in a great many misbevaiors typical of his kind - the likes of which David is adjusting to - and we heard some input from Mike, and even the usually quiet Ike!

Apologies for the impromptu break, everyone – we’re back and we’re ready to party! Or, uh, in this case, cringe, because despite being written by the original author of The New Teen Titans comics, this episode… isn’t all that great.
Of Teen Titans, I mean. WE, your humble podcasters, are in top form. And together we look on in horror as the Titans make one idiotic decision after another. Beast Boy develops an inferiority complex that actively hinders the mission, Starfire and Raven fawn over a boy and don’t do much else, and our villain is in MULTIPLE PLACES AT ONCE? HOW CAN THAT BE???
One way or another, we hope we can make this one more bearable for you. (Also, correction – the largest fungus in North America does not unfortunately cover the Pacific Northwest. Only about four miles of it. Sorry to disappoint.)
