Titan Up The Defense

Look, I'll be honest. This issue is titled "Monster Bait", so the podcast is about 75% "monsterbation" jokes. Sorry.

Pirate lore! Arctic mirage fun facts! Fractions! A really stupid game Cory and I used to play! The pronunciation of "sluice"! All this and more are discussed as the Titans fight a bunch of motorcycle jerks in the desert.

Look, we talk about a bunch of stuff in this one; violence sometimes being the answer, quasi illiterate submarine pirates, jetties, lots of stuff. But if there's one thing to take away from this episode it is this: a lentil-walnut burger does NOT taste like a hamburger!

Giant Robots, xenophobia, Pontiac Aztecs, Beatles impressions and the return of a favorite trope! Probably some other stuff too. Who knows?

The Mad Mod! Robot barracudas and and a far too long debate about "houndstooth" abound as the Titans take a Rock & Roll whirlwind tour of Europe. We might have flown to close to the liquor sun on this one and it may have melted the wax on our wings of coherence. Which is to say, much like this metaphor, this episode got away from us a little.

Beast Boy guest stars! We meet the shittiest Beastmaster, learn that Robin assumes his experiences are universal (I mean, we're all acrobats, right?) and discuss the hypnotic powers of various primates. Enjoy! Enjoy!

In this week's episode we learn about the importance of trust, redemption, and eavesdropping. Fred MacMurray vs. Jerry Orbach continue their epic battle of good vs. putting baby in the corner, and Robin makes a few Freudian slips.

Shivering shafts, here comes Speedy! Parents: do they understand? No, they just don't. Wonder Girl engages in some hobo shaming as the Teen Titans and Speedy heady to the 1964 Olympics. Join us, won't you?ttwasteland.tumblr.com

We read Teen Titans #3. A whole bunch of shit happens, but the most important thing to take away from this issue is this: the villain is named Ding Dong. That's right, Ding Dong. ttwasteland.tumblr.com

Cory's anthropology degree is put to the test as we read Teen Titans #2, featuring the Million Year Old Teenager! Spoiler alert: it turns out we're all a bunch of goddamn Akkurus. Bummer! ttwasteland.tumblr.com

In the debut issue of their first series the Teen Titans join the Peace Corps, fight a giant conquistador shaped robot and three Don Rickles faced magical animals, and team up with Juan Valdez to punch out a creepy old man. Which somehow isn't weird enough for Hub. Also, the sound quality is kind of jacked on this one. Sorry. We were drunk and made a microphone error. If you want your money back, mail me some money and I'll mail it back to you. Probably. ttwasteland.tumblr.com

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Flips! We read Showcase #59, which stars the hottest rock combo to ever feature a baton solo! Also, Hub uses the word synecdoche more or less correctly! It doesn't go over great. ttwasteland.tumblr.com

You can dry the flaming tears from your giant disembodied eyes, because we're back with another episode. Jonathan Swift, ionic vs. covalent bonds, the introduction of Wonder Girl, and more picket signs than you can shake a giant disembodied appendage at! ttwasteland.tumblr.com

In which picket signs abound, and Cory has a theory as to why ye olde timey bakeries needed to step up their game. ttwasteland.tumblr.com
