    Episode 24: Tarzan's Magic Fountain (1949)

    Noel and Michael watch the last Tarzan movie of the 1940s, in which Johnny Weissmuller has been replaced as the ape man by Lex Barker. They discuss Barker's alarming post-Tarzan behavior and how knowing that affects viewing his work, including Tarzan's Magic Fountain. And they also bid farewell to Brenda Joyce in her last appearance as Jane.

    Episode 23: Tarzan and the Mermaids (1948)

    Michael and Noel wrap up the Johnny Weissmuller era the same way they began it, with guest Ron Marz (Batman/Tarzan: Claws of the Catwoman, Korak the Killer), who'd just returned from South Africa with stories of an actual safari . It's mermaids in Mexico and memoirs about mammals in this very special episode.

    Episode 22: Tarzan and the Huntress (1947)

    Noel and Michael are joined by Tim from the CinemaSpection podcast to discuss Johnny Sheffield's last film as Boy. In many ways, Tarzan and the Huntress is a return to form for the series. Noel, Michael, and Tim talk about whether or not that's a good thing.
