203 - Captain Planet and the Planeteers

Ben and Zane didn’t have a clue why they were recruited to handle this oil spill, but they knew who to bring in: Ian. He came on board and told them that what they really needed was a guy by the name of Captain Planet. They brought in Gaia to give them a couple power rings, then got the last ones by some unsavory methods, but eventually they were able to summon Captain Planet. He took one look at the problem, told them that “The Power is Yours,” and disappeared. They took the L and hoped that Mother Nature could take one more for the team. * They didn’t bother copyrighting “Duke Nukem” * Ted Turner: the least bad billionaire? * The Power of Attorney is Yours * Black Dynamite * “Dune Sting Underwear” Safesearch OFF * Environmentalists vs Captain Planet * Environmentalists, Nuclear Power, and Politics: IT’S COMPLICATED * RIP Lance Reddick * Dan Harmon didn’t like Vindicators * I am only doing a cursory look-up of Environmental Sabotage and Eco-terrorism * East Palestine, Ohio, train derailment * Wizard People Dear Reader Uncle Porkflaps * Soup on Paintings vs. Bank Chainings * Mona Lisa smaller than you think * Energy Consumption of Bitcoin * Gas stove culture war bullshit
