Powers of Grayskull

I love this podcast so much I've gone through and listened to episodes multiple times. I only wish there was a female perspective. I'm a big fan of the franchise and it's great to hear the male perspective but I often wish I could join in the conversation and give a female take. Thank you for your work, your bringing this fan a lot of joy!

The only thing better than watching 80's cartoons is listenign to ther people who love share their enjoyment.

I originally rated this a 5 star after finding this podcast and listening to it a few times because I was excited to see a podcast dedicated to something I so loved as a kid. However as I continued to listen the quality of the reviews began to dwindle as the podcasters, in particular TFG1Mike, or whatever his handle is, began to get bored with the series because of the pace they had put themselves on. OptimusSolo was and is still very unbiased and optimistic. He rates the shows very fair in my opinion, but his co-host is continually a downer. I used to like his input but now he has reduced his introduction of himself at the beginning of the podcast with a belch that sounds so awesome as it resonates in my head through my earbuds. Thanks for that. He also tries to make jokes in between segments of the show that, most of the time, only make sense in his head, are not funny, and have no comedic timing. Leaving dead air on the podcast so you can allow yourself time to come up with an unfunny joke is asinine. Stop doing that. If you can't come up with something right away don't even bother trying and just get on with the episode. I get that watching so many He-Man/She-Ra episodes can get monotonous but to keep your audience engaged you have to maintain a level of excitement and decency to keep them around. I still enjoy the podcast, thanks only to OptimusSolo, and do recommend it to others just don't let the other co-host get you down.

I love the thoughtful analysis that these guys give for the old Filmation stuff. Filmation MOTU IS nostalgic, but like them, I now view it with older eyes, than be blinded by it's nostalgia. One of my biggest criticisms about Filmation MOTU (which the GCRN crew address at times) is the lack of appearances of other toyline characters, their backstories and development, as well as continuity. However, the cartoon had heart and the reviewers provide new insights that suggest that Filmation MOTU might not be as corny as it's stereotypically seen as. Characters that I was initially dismissive towards are now seen with a new light. Keep it up! I can't wait until you guys get to New Adventures and especially 200X!
