Bonus Episode: "ThunderCats"
from Jem Girls Podcast Hosted by Michael D'Alimonte
ThunderCats, hooooo! Hey, who you calling a hoe? Just kidding, we’re all sexual deviants here, especially the humanoid cat-creature bondage leather daddies that populate Thundera. Or, technically, “Third Earth.” Way better than Second Earth, by the way. Don’t even get us started on First Earth. Anyway, as we often do, we’re veering off the Jemtrail this week to unpack a cartoon that undoubtedly birthed a generation of furries and BDSM enthusiasts: ThunderCats. We’re fairly certain this series is a prequel to 2019’s much-maligned GFX gong-show Cats (yes, the movie, not the play) set before all of the felines went full jellicle. We wish they kept all of the straps and belly-bearing unitards but, hey, can’t have it all. Ignoring anything like “narrative context” or “plot,” not exactly a strong suit for ThunderCats, we’re diving head-first into an episode of the series that is heavy on the Snarf. And if you know anything about ThunderCats, then you know Snarf is categorically the worst and is the concept of “annoying” made flesh. So it’s gonna be a good time! Is it “Tower of Omens” or “Sword of Moments”? What’s the connection between cats and bats? Are Snarfs the only species that deserve to be enslaved? All of these questions (not really) answered and more in the Jem Girls first foray into ThunderCats!
