S4 Ep 16: Bucky O'Hare This week, we bounce up to the 90's with another property involving Larry Hama.

We also have a special interview for the episode: Mr. Richard Hoover, the Production Director for Twin Peaks.

S4 Ep 2: Star Wars: Droids   Cash grabs are nothing new, nor is the idea of ringing the Star Wars IP of every last cent. By the mid-80s, with no flicks in the theater, SOMETHING had to be served up to the masses to snag those few remaining Star Wars dollars.

S3 Ep 49: Thundarr the Barbarian   Swords, shield, sorcery, and sci-fi, this show had all the fixins to be an 80s buffet of awesome. But, debuting a scant two years before Reagan's deregulation of the FCC, this gem missed out on the cross-marketing bonanza that ANOTHER blonde barbarian would write the book on…join our revisit of Thundarr the Barbarian! Enjoy!   http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast

S3 Ep 48: Ruby Spears Superman   Coming at you faster than a speeding bullet, and more powerful than a locative, it's an episode that managed to be slightly off the rails. Join us, as well as my son Henry, as we revisit Ruby Spears Superman! Enjoy!   http://patreon.com/YesterdazePodcast
