Super Nuclear Presents
by Super Nuclear Group
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.

512 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...
-
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…
more -
TT #8 - Trident - Submissive No, Breedable Yes (Deep Six)
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...
-
TT #7 - Got My Body Switched at Claire's (Switched)
Alright, time to dive headfirst into that tried and true staple of western animation, the body swap episode! None of us had remembered this one very fondly, and it turns out Mary had never seen at all. But it turns out it rules - especially because it's an EXCELLENT character study. Behold as...
-
TT #6 - I Hate You, Brain Dad (Nevermore)
In everyone's favorite Season 1 episode, Raven is subjected to too many puns and goes grimdark, prompting Beast Boy and Cyborg to venture into the Hot Topic dimension to save her. While there, they encounter not one Raven, but several! Including Finger Guns Raven, a staple of forum avatars in the...
-
TT #5 - Mumbo? Perhaps. Jumbo? Perhaps Not! (The Sum of His Parts)
Today, Titan Talk goes out and touches grass! Come join us for a brief interlude at the park, followed by a much longer interlude in a hole at the dump. Points of curiosity: fine dijon mustard, five and a half pounds of baby back ribs, a nostalgic look back at Obama "scandals," and Tom Kenny in a...
-
TT #4 - The Local Orb (Forces of Nature)
We had a bit of confusion about what this episode was called, all the way up until nearly the end of the recording. Mary and Ben could have sworn it was called Thunder and Lightning. David has the clearest head of all of us and knew from day 1 that it was Forces of Nature, and so we stand...
-
TT #3 - Stuck in His Goo (Divide and Conquer)
Here we are at the actual Teen Titans pilot episode - one that makes it readily apparent why they decided to air Final Exam first. Between underdeveloped characters, an inorganic conflict and a weak resolution, it definitely isn't the series putting its best foot forward. Which is funny because...
-
TT #2 - Smoking on that Sh*t That Made Star Fire (Sisters)
Uh oh, watch out everyone! Starfire's cool older sister is in town and she's here to tempt our heroes into the depths of depravity. Lock the spice cabinet because she WILL empty your oregano into a baggie and sell it back to you. We do talk about drugs a lot in this one, as a heads up. But…
more -
TT #1 - Let's Try This Again (Final Exam)
After two long years and five even longer months, the dream lives again. Like three cockroaches crawling out of an irradiated crater, the Super Nuclear Group returns to deliver sweet, marketable cartoon nostalgia to your ear holes. This time, we're bidding a temporary adieu to Avatar and starting...
-
TAR #30 - He Died As He Lived: Like a Nerd (feat. Jess!)
We've reached the midpoint of season two, and with that, the midpoint of the whole show! This is a good time for us to take a little break from internet radio silliness (more on that in the episode), but first, here's Mary, David, and Jess talking owls and Kongsonas (also in the episode,...
-
TAR #29 - I Was A Twelve Year Old Cop (Bitter Work feat. Quinn and Jess!)
I'm super sorry for the lateness of putting this on the main feed - I hadn't realized I hadn't scheduled it while I was waiting for the summary to come in. Thank you for your patience and look forward to The Library soon! === Welcome to Bitter Work (fun fact: that's what "kung fu" actually…
more -
TAR #28 - Toph Demands to See the Manager (The Chase feat. Bfahome!)
Ah, the chase: a cartoon tradition. Tom chases Jerry, Sylvester chases Tweety, and in tonight's presentation, the Gaang is chased by a bunch of girls. Which I guess makes this more like the Avatar version of A Hard Day's Night (ask your grandma, zoomer). Our friend Gabe is here to bring the funny...
-
TAR #27 - Ostrich-Horse With No Name (Zuko Alone feat. Quinn!)
Time for Zuko Alone, Avatar's cowboy episode! In lieu of Ben, we're joined once again by Quinn! (And no, we didn't eat Ben when we were all stranded on that raft in the middle of the ocean, no matter what the federales say.) Prepare for advanced Jaden Smith discussion, stinky piles o' poo, and…
more -
TAR #26 - TAR #26 - It's Not Just The Rock, It's The Boulder! (The Blind Bandit ft. Dianna!)
It's finally time for the episode everyone and their dog wanted to be on. Wait a minute... is CatDog an Avatar animal? Holy shit, I just thought of that literally right now. Nickelodeon Cinematic Universe confirmed! Anyway, Toph is in this one. Our friend (and very first fan!) Dianna joins us to...
-
TAR #25 - That Dank Ass Avatar Weed (feat. Jess once more!)
Hey... u up, winky face emoji? It's the horniest-ever episode of The Avatar Recycle, featuring Avatar Kyoshi and her enormous feet! The fandom has long called Avatar Day one of the worst episodes of the show, second only to The Great Divide. But is it really as bad as all that? Join the usual…
more -
TAR #24 - Memory, All Alone in the Swamp Gas (feat. Jess!)
Welcome back to The Avatar Recycle! Jess joins us yet again as we venture into fantasy Florida to meet some more smelly hippies and Toph, who is presumably also smelly. Topics include cholera, a five-pound bag of Swedish Fish, man's ever-evolving quest to communicate with spinach, and the time...
-
TAR #23 - The Fire Nation Has Taken Twintuddlyington-upon-Newbury-upon-Twyne-upon-Kent (Return to Omashu)
In this episode, the still-incomplete Gaang literally rolls around in raw sewage. (You can do that figuratively by listening to our podcast.) And on that note, who's ready for a lot of jokes about plagues and contagion? Like, jeez, read the room, 2006. Am I right? This episode also introduces us…
more -
TAR #22 - I Think That Kid Might Be The Avatar (Redux) (The Cave of Two Lovers - Feat. Sigma!)
In this episode, we have two special treats for you: a new guest (welcome, Sigma!) and a link to a cool picture of a dragon we found on DeviantArt. Also? A SPECTACULAR episode. Let's call that treat number three. So many things that give us joy are here. Unwashed hippies. Unsupervised uncles....
-
TAR #21 - Large Boulders The Size of Small Boulders (The Avatar State)
It's another episode of The Avatar Recycle! Our hosts have managed to tear themselves away from the ongoing collapse of civilization to babble about magic cartoon teenagers for another couple of hours. This time, it's The Avatar State! Where is it, and why doesn't it have representation in...
-
Secret Tunnel #2 - Hooked on the Ceiling (feat. Jess!)
It's the first season break, and you know what that means: statistics (oh boy)! Join us as we once again consider the SNA, read some Avatar comics, and talk about Shrek. Jess is here, so you know this one's a keeper. === Click here to see the pacu, the herbivorous piranha!...
-
TAR #20 - Zhao Does Some Bull Shit (Siege of the North, Part 2)
It's the season one finale, and Avatar has officially come into its own, like a caterpillar tadpole coming out of its cocoon as a beautiful butterfrog. That's good news, provided that you like hearing three ostensible adults freak out about cartoons. We cover all the bases: Zuko's gradual...
-
TAR #19 - This Might be a Silly Episode of Super Nuclear (Siege of the North, Part 1)
Good news, everyone! We heard your complaint about there not being enough year-end holidays and have magnanimously decided that December 8th is Super Nuclear Day. You may curry favor with our traditional mascots, the Super Alpaca and Gnuclear Gnome, by supporting us on Patreon. Good fortune is…
more -
TAR #18 - The Butthole of Time (The Waterbending Master)
Apologies for the wait, everyone! Moving and life got in the way but we are BACK! Welcome back to The Avatar Recycle, the show where we talk about our cats and then, if we have time, Avatar. In this episode, Mary moves down the street, Ben moves across the country, and David stays right the fuck...
-
TAR #17 - The Mysterious Skywalkers (The Northern Air Temple)
Donald Trump slowly shrinks and transforms into a corn cob. Ben's mother humiliates him in front of the host of Nickelodeon's Slime Time Live. David crushes his own mother's dreams of being a showbiz mom. Mary roasts her dad's exceptionally dadly qualities. And on Avatar, some kid has to cope…
more -
TAR #16 - High on That Dank Jeong Jeong (The Deserter feat. Jess!)
This time it is David who will not be with us for this one, and Jess who will rise to the occasion and take his place as we take on a SURPRISINGLY intense ATLA episode! All the more so for Mary, because she never saw it the first time round. What does that mean for you all? A whole lot of well...
-
TAR #15 - The Only Way Out Is Through The Perfume Department (Bato of the Water Tribe)
This episode is all about trust, in the sense that it betrayed ours by being kinda crappy and on-the-nose, as well as having uncomfortable sexual undertones. And speaking of that, watch us revive old Homestuck memes you hoped to never see again! (At least Sokka gets to be smart in this one.) The...
-
TAR #14 - Girls? I Heard Of Em (The Fortuneteller feat. Jess!)
This is one of those cartoon episodes that tries to be about faith vs. empiricism, but in a way that doesn't piss off any homeschool moms and/or the ACLU. Surprisingly, it doesn't suck, and in fact taught us a very valuable lesson. It taught us what platypuses eat. (It's pebbles and small…
more -
TAR #13 - Cough Drop Box Beard (The Blue Spirit feat. Jess!)
In this episode, the role of Ben is played by our good friend Jess, but don't worry, we're definitely not classing up the joint! Much merriment is had discussing the rare and elusive Sugondese frogs. (Would you suck on them? Tell us in the comments!) We also discover that the crazy old people of...
-
TAR #12 - Twice The Duck For Your Buck (The Storm)
This episode involves Aang and Iroh telling heartbreaking stories of past trauma whilst they and their friends huddle around a campfire. Celebrate the occasion by listening to three nerds talk about My Big Fat Greek Wedding whilst hunched over their computers. Be warned: this episode contains…
more -
TAR #11 - Both Sides: The Episode (The Great Divide)
Ah yes, here we are. One of the Famously Bad episodes of Avatar, which means it would be a low average in any other show. Even as we try not to judge it by its reputation and/or memes, we still find it... condescending? A bit tone deaf? Paints centrists as the real victims? We're not quite sure...
-
TAR - Secret Tunnel #1 - Spotted Bat Appreciation Zone
First and foremost I have to deeply DEEPLY apologize for the lateness of this episode, I had it and it was up on Patreon and I just straight up forgot to put it on the main feed. ._. Thank you all for your patience! === Welcome to the Secret Tunnel, the Rec Room-alike where we take a break from...
-
TAR #10 - Wow Cool Hook Swords!! (Jet)
Listeners, hide your bananas, cause we're about to meet some guerillas. This episode is all about Jet, the freedom fighter dude who is definitely NOT literally just Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop, and Jess is here to discuss how cool his hook swords are and whether or not he would vape in real...
-
TAR #9 - Surrender Your Booty (The Waterbending Scroll)
Join your Super Nuclear pals for a lively discussion on whether bare man ass is allowed on Nickelodeon. That's right: it's an episode all about pirate booty! Arrgh! And when you're done listening send us an email! Would YOU eat cabbage that the cabbage merchant had lovingly rubbed on his unshaven...
-
TAR #8 - Aang Arrives 112 Years Late With Starbucks (The Winter Solstice, Part 2)
Happy belated vore day, everyone! And speaking of vore day, Aang's quest to stop the Fire Lord is a little bit like googling that: he's not gonna like what he sees, but may learn something about himself and walk away profoundly changed. In particular, he's going to learn that he has exactly nine...
-
TAR #7 - Places Where The Veil is Thin (Winter Solstice, Part 1: The Spirit World)
In this episode, the former half of our very first two-parter, Iroh gets naked, Aang wrestles a bear, and the Super Nuclear Group waxes poetic about America's two favorite underdogs: Jeb Bush and Scrappy Doo! Think we can't prattle about this for three straight hours? Click and be amazed! ===…
more -
TAR #6 - A Powerful Nut (Imprisoned)
Hey, remember that one funny meme where Live-Action Aang reminds a group of earthbenders that they are earthbenders? And then they do a choreographed dance routine that results in a single baseball-sized rock to float slowly across the screen? This is the episode that scene was based on.…
more -
Patreon Bonus! Remember the Titan #1 - Gend It Like Beckham (Escape to Sherman High)
Hello, everyone! This is the first episode of what will from here on be a Patreon-exclusive podcast for donors at the $5 and up level! We hope you enjoy this trip into the glory that is SBT! === Long ago, in 2010, Cartoon Network gave us something very special: a new Genndy Tartakovsky show, in...
-
TAR #5 - DON'T SAY HIS NAME (The King of Omashu)
This episode is all about King [NAME REDACTED]. But we're not supposed to say his name. We say it dozens of times anyway. And no, for once, it's not K*maeda. But we don't just laugh at our own incompetence. We also laugh at silly internet videos, pausing only to groan at some puns. And somewhere…
more -
TAR #4 - Prince Zuko Autonomous Zone, or PZAZ, ft. Jess! (The Warriors of Kyoshi)
This episode takes the Gaang to Kyoshi Island, where Sokka learns respect-women-bending from cool new character Suki. Longtime friend of the show Jess joins us yet again to discuss this and other topics tangentially related to grrrl powah, including: skipping your school's water park trip to…
more -
TAR #3 - Everyone's Bald, If You Don't Count Their Hair (The Southern Air Temple)
Aang, Katara, and Sokka visit the Southern Air Temple and see a bunch of dead bodies. Meanwhile, Mary, David, and Ben revisit a bunch of old jokes that aren't dead but should be. Ben and David make killer observations, Mary sings about cereal, and the trio debates the ethics of pee-bending. Plus,...
-
TAR #2 - David Gets Fire-Bent (The Avatar Returns)
As we note in our intro above, all of our Patreon proceeds for the month of June will be donated to the Community Bail Fund: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/bail_funds_george_floyd Here are some of the best resources at hand right now to educate yourself, donate/generate ad revenue, and protect...
-
The Avatar Recycle #1 - Misogyny Saves The World (The Boy in the Iceberg)
An important note: we had recorded this episode in late May, simply because we were very excited to do so, before the death of George Floyd and the start of the nationwide protests. We will be making a full statement in The Avatar Recycle #2, but the most important thing I can ask of you is to…

TUR Post-Mortem: Up Ahead - Here We Go Again
This episode was originally published on April 15th, 2020. === Thanks for joining us on this wild n' crazy journey. In this, the final episode of The Ultimate Reprise, we analyze the SNA, share more juicy tidbits about the sequel series, and somehow end up arguing about Homestuck again. We hope…

TUR #26 - I Think That Kid Might Be The Avatar
This episode was originally published on April 8th, 2020. === It's time to unban Ben from the spoiler corner of the Discord, because the grand finale is finally here. And what a finale it is! The big twist is so momentous, we decided to discuss it first, so if for some insane reason you've been...
-
TUR #25 - The Final Ship Hole
This episode was originally published on April 1st, 2020. === There's a hell of a lot happening in this the penultimate episode of Oban. Oban itself is dead, for one thing. Just sand, sand, and sand. Anakin Skywalker is weeping and does not know why. But that's okay, because our intrepid heroes…

TUR #24 - Canaletto's Vibes Are Rancid
This episode was originally published on March 25th, 2020. === Hey, isn't it funny that it's going to be Homestuck's anniversary soon and we're all literally stuck at home? No? That's not funny at all? Everyone's either sick and dying or losing their minds in self-imposed quarantine because our...

TUR #22 - It's 9:45; Do You Know Where Your Ass Is?
This episode was originally published on March 11th, 2020. === In this episode, David and Ben google 'big tiddy goth gf' and are horrified by the completely predictable results. We then have our traditional bout of Vriskourse - but first, we dive into this episode of Oban Star-Racers, where Molly...

TUR #21 - Press X to Destroy Your Wife
This episode was originally published on March 4th, 2020. === This episode is full of feet. We're just gonna put our cards on the table where we can all see them. Feet, and the toes thereof, are discussed with anomalous regularity, as is the movie Paul Blart: Mall Cop. Don't say we didn't warn…
