    A strange double bill of Cowboy Bebop this week. We start with Wild Horses, an episode that reminds us that space is a dangerous place, where anything can go wrong, forcing Spike and Jet to put their flying skills to the test. This is followed by the creepiest Cowboy Bebop episode, “Pierrot Le Fou” where Spike comes face-to-face with an evil clown who will stop at nothing to take him out. However, is Le Fou all he seems at first glance?

    The idea of a Tony Hawk movie doesn't sound that weird on the paper.However, when you hear "Tony Hawk Movie" you likely don't imagine an animated feature where Tony Hawk fights a group of evil circus clowns. Tony Hawk in Boom Boom Sabotage might the weirdest and worst film we've done so far on the podcast, so grab your helmet and knee pads, as its going to be a bumpy ride!

    Dark Designs and Double Dinobot are this week's bits of Transformers Beast Wars madness. These episodes are fascinating as we learn that all the Predacons are evil scientists in their freetime and that free will may not exist in the Transformers' universe. Combine this with Megatron getting a big of one-on-one time with his personal Dinobot and you're left with two really fascinating episodes of Beast Wars.
