On the forest moon of Endor, the Ewoks play forbidden games and stop magic-based forest fires. Meanwhile Mark and Martyn discuss other Star Wars-related things, learn some Ewokese and end up on tumblr. What I'm saying is, the Ewoks cartoon is boring.

"Bertha, lovely Bertha, you are a lovely machine..."
Mark and Martyn visit an overstaffed toy factory in Spottiswood where the sentient machinery is forced to make jigsaws very slowly, and both mild racism and sexism runs rampant. It was acceptable in the 80s...

Having watched He-Man last week, Mark and Martyn settle down for the companion series She-Ra. It has a better theme song, better animation and a more interesting pilot. But it's for girls...? Blecch, girls are yucky!

"Stand back Superman, Iceman, Spider-Man, Batman and Robin too..."
Mark and Martyn witness the incredible powers of Supergran, which mostly involve jumping, moving at the speed of a normal person and extra sensory perception... Or something...? The Scunner Campbell had better watch out. He is in Newcastle after all.

Mark and Martyn examine the difficult second album of Spider-Man's animated career. It doesn't have the iconic theme song, it doesn't have good animation, but it does have Iceman. And Firestar. So there's that...

One of these questions will be answered...

Mark and Martyn fail to co-ordinate as they watch slightly different versions of the pilot episode of Inspector Gadget, which itself features a slightly different version of the character we all know and love. Know and like...? Just know.
