We’re mere leaves swept in the current now, so please hang tight a week longer and enjoy another re-release from your favorite boys. And since it’s still March, we thought we’d bring back last year’s March Madness winner, Hulk Hogan(‘s nasty horse).

Whenever we dip a bucket into the curséd well of anime, we want it to be something special. For this Hiatus Re-Release, we learned all about How To Keep A Mummy and the terrifying power of Mountain Justice.

————————

Since we’re doing Mummy Stuff, Rory thought it would be a good idea to watch a show called “How To Keep A Mummy.” As recurring best friend Alison “Has A Guest Host Punch Card” Lührs can attest, this was a bad move.

This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays:
The era of the kawaii mummy is here to stay • Andy gets pulled out of the anime cage, Hannibal Lecter-style • Mountain Justice means never having to say you’re sorry, with lightning • When god gives you a box, he also gives you a smaller box, and in that box is just the stuff you were just doing

When something comes up and we can’t record, it’s comforting to rely on our dense back catalog of solid bangers. So the next few weeks will be a curated gallery of our favorite mistakes, starting with Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. Enjoy!

————————-

Sometimes a show comes along that unites us in our desire to utterly and completely destroy it, and this time it’s 1987’s Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. Join Merklynn the Centrist Wizard as he foists powers upon the ruling class in return for vague favors. Chaos, naturally, ensues.

This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays:
Dirty nuts, clean nuts, you know I’ve had my share • No sooner is Merklynn done with his 20 minute explanation of the show than the Spectral Knights immediately disappoint us with their poor judgement • The eternal tale of a man and his trapdoor into our hearts • The power discrepancy between heroes and villains demands a balance patch
