  Nice Episode.
  
  Glad you mentioned Dexter and Sons of Anarchy because I always wondered if you watch these.
  
  SoA is a double-edged thing for me. I like it but the cliffhangers and so annoying like you said and the drama is so over the top and often very unrealistic, nearly surreal.
  The endings of Season 1 and 2 made me hate Kurt Sutter.

  A thing from my childhood which i really still find very good is the disney-show ducktales. Man i love(d) treasure hunting with scrooge.
  
  I still think it holds up. I also tried to revisit He-man and GI joe on DVD, but i dont think they held up that well.
  
  And i never heard about ricky tiggy tavy dying..... he was wounded in the story.
  
  But i know the feeling that the mind playing tricks on me. I watched "Blood sport" with jean claude van damme. And I (SPOILER) was sure that his bearded american friend dying from the wounds he recieved in the ring. And that the movie ending with jean claude bowing and mourning his death boarding an airplane. And then i watched the movie decades later and he didnt die in the movie (END OF SPOILER).
  
  And the deja vu thing with watching movies im sure we all know. Watching through a movie and then one scene or a line just make the back of your head explode with memories of you loving that movie when you were little. I had the same thing with a cartoon named american rabbit, which i wathced in the 80ties and now on youtube.
  
  Sorry if this was too much of a weird rant.

  Sorry, Josh, but Frank Miller was always a crazy misogynist piece of shit who got by on titillation rather than talent. I hate Grant Morrison, but I can admit he has written some good stories on the fringe continuity wise. Frank Miller doesn't even have any exceptions. His Batman reads like it was written by a 13-year-old that has just discovered the concept of angst and wants to piss off his parents, his Wonder Woman is a caricature, and he completely misses the point of the Batman/Superman dynamic.

  "John Kristovski?" What, you mean John Kricfalusi, Brian?
  
  Anyway, his parodies are pretty funny if you're into that kind of pre-1970's animator culture. Also, the art is fucking BEAUTIFUL.

  There are a lot of He-Man fans who swear by the 2003 series and have metaphoric erections for it. They still pine for the series to this day. I thought the show was pretty good, but they made Prince Adam/He-Man like Bruce Banner/The Incredible Hulk. I prefer the Bruce Wayne/Batman style of the original series.
  
  G.I. Joe Renegades is someone's idea to make an updated A-Team TV series as a cartoon. I could probably get into that show if it had better character design and art style.

  I wish the host was a little quieter. Or if Brad and Jerrid could be louder? The volume difference is really bad the host seems to shout-talk. If possible I'd like you guys to rethink your volume levels.

  I love ya Josh, but I think you're being a little too apologetic for the young folks of today. Many do not appreciate the old stuff because they refuse to acknowledge the fact that these films are before THEIR time. I would suggest that this attitude, on some level, is indicative of shallowness and immaturity. It's also quite possible that it's just an issue of personal taste. One with an exclusive taste for the modern will never appreciate the old.
  
  If it were simply a matter of having a more powerful experience when seeing the film upon its initial release, then seemingly nobody would appreciate anything older than they are. I am a product of my age, like anybody else, yet I am able to appreciate much of the old stuff because it appeals to me. It's a simple thing to forgive the 'primitiveness' of them because I UNDERSTAND their 'temporal context', for lack of a better term.
  
  There are more than a few kids these days who are capable of doing the same thing--and those kids are the cool kids!

  Speaking of nostalgia animated shows, I went back and watch the whole series of Inspector Gadget on Netflix. I was crazy for that show as a kid and I still enjoyed it. I know I saw Heathcliff (by the same creators) as a kid, but I do plan on giving it a watch on Netflix just to see if it holds up as well.

  My Dad and I do watch American Horror Story and let me describe it to you Josh in lament's terms.
  
  In terms of its title, it's so "effed" up, you won't stop watching it!

  I have to disagree on some of the old cartoons vs now. 00s He Man, Thundercats, GI Joe Renegades, and while not really mentioned almost every US/Canada 00s Transformers cartoon blows the 80s ones out of the water. Even as a kid of the 80s I found most of those shows terrible at the time, especially compared to the comic books.
  
  The trick with a reboot is taking a good concept and not making it silly which is what most of the 80s cartoons did. TMNT was a fun silly show but it was a complete insult to the original comics. The newer one is actually pretty decent more faithful. Still not all that great though.
  
  I try not to look at old vs new. I just look for good vs bad. Sometimes the original did it better, sometimes the remake did. Sometimes they are both good sometimes they are both bad.
  
  The first trick is to avoid nostalgia, which is something many of us older geeks tend to do, while the new kids do the opposite and won't look at anything over 3-5 years old. Both are wrong.
  
  Hell, I am playing with an old Atari 8 bit computer right now and in some cases I like its games better than modern ones and I never had the machine as a kid. (C64, 2600, NES, Genesis was my school years machines.) But it also doesn't mean I can't enjoy the hell out of Fallout New Vegas either.

  I'll agree with you all that He-Man and G.I. Joe:Renegades aren't as good as the originals, but the new Thundercats mad Thundercats WATCHABLE. The original was a 22-minute sleep aid, the new show is interesting, engaging, and action-packed.

  When I was a kid, I used to like the 80s Ninja Turtles, an was shocked at how awful it was once I re-visited it.
  On the other hand, when I saw the 2003 version, it was just as good as I thought the original was.
  So yeas, the 2003 Ninja Turtlas are indeed superior to their 80s counterpart.
  
  Never watched the other 80s shows as a kid, but I like the new versions. After trying to watch the originals, I had the exact same gripes with them as I had with the old Ninja Turtles
  
  so yes, THE REMAKES ARE SUPERIOR IN EVERY SINGLE WAY!

  And whet's exactly supposed to be so good about the originals?
  
  I understand there being a "so bad it's good" charm to it, but actually calling it superior to a much more well crafted version?
  
  What are you smoking?

  You guys are dead on with regards to TMNT, I can't believe that I was a fan of it. Everyone's tastes change over time but it's clear that some things you liked the first time around aren't good years later.
  
  I'll add Garfield in general to the list. The TV show is just plain corny and droll. Then again, I bet this would be better if Jim Davis went with the darker stuff that he did once in a while.

  You guys aren't the only ones who have cases of not remember things as how they were.
  
  I'm only 21 and I've had a few cases of that.
  
  For the longest time I had no clue what movie involving animal testing and poison gas traumatized me so much as a kid.
  
  I actually thought it was Secret of NYM (spell check xD) and hated it for the longest time till I rewatched and found it wasn't.
  
  Then one day Nostalgia Critic reviews "Once upon a Forest" and I start Crying because that's the movie.
  
  It all came flooding back.
  
  Same thing happened with the last unicorn, but I always remembered a guy getting suffocated by big blue boobs and here goes Nostalgia Chick talking about it.
