    Bonus Episode: 2025 Radical Year In Review!
    Jan 9 2026

    Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

    Before new episodes kick off next week, we’re taking a moment to celebrate! This bonus episode is a love letter to 2025. Join Ryan as he looks back at the RADICAL year that was 2025!

    We started things off in a big way with an unforgettable interview with Terri Hawkes, we talked slashers and secrets with Trey Callaway about “I Still Know What You Did Last Summer” and “W.I.T.C.H.”, celebrated Jem’s 40th anniversary with the wonderfully kind Samantha Newark on Jerrica’s actual birthday and caught up with Michael Bailey Smith of Charmed and Fantastic Four (1994).

    We shared the fun with our Radical Ones through giveaways like two pairs of Freezy Freakies gloves and were completely blown away by an incredible video message from Thomas Dekker during our “Nightmare on Elm Street” (2010) coverage for Nightmare on Elm Street Summer.

    We were honored to receive special video messages from director Christian Alvart and Kerry O’Malley during our "Case 39" episode, along with a thoughtful message from John Ottman reflecting on the "House of Wax" score for its anniversary.

    This year also brought some huge firsts. We released our very first ThunderCats Holiday Video Special, along with our own retro themed album and a Christmas single.

    And somehow, together, we reached 31,640 all time audio downloads. None of this happens without the listeners who show up every week, share the show, and send us so much love.

    Thank you to David, Rob, Cadu, Zack, lovely Leah, all our ThunderCats Bunglers, and of course our Radical Ones for being part of this journey. Your support, kindness, and shared nostalgia mean more to us than we can ever say.

    As always… stay radical. ❤️

We also curl up for a classic comic read as we dive into ThunderCats UK comic issue #41 from 1987, the story “Footprints.” In this chilling Rammastide tale, Cat’s Lair lies directly in the path of a mysterious and terrifying creature known as the Metokangmi! We also dive into ThunderCats UK comic issue #41 from 1987, the story “Footprints,” where Cat’s Lair lies in the path of the terrifying Metokangmi during Rammastide, the Third Earth equivalent of Christmas.From our Cats’ Lair to yours, thank you for celebrating the holidays with us. ThunderCats HO HO HOOOO! 🎄✨A very special thank you to Zack for not only helping to film this holiday special, but also directing, editing, handling special effects, and going above and beyond to help bring this video episode to life. It is a true testament to friendship and love for this amazing fandom.This holiday special is made possible by the love and support of our incredible Bunglers. A heartfelt thank you to: Lovely Leah, Metesh, Juan, Steve, Costas, Tim, Egmond, Chris, Allan, Gary, Kevin, Bonner, Daniel, Sean “Buddha,” Craig, Nick, Karissa, Alexander, Cheryl, Peter Lawrence, Dennis J. Woodyard, and Bunglers all over the world!This episode is lovingly dedicated In Memory of Barbara Dickerson, Karissa’s beloved grandmother, the heart of her family.Zack's Candyfruit Pie Recipe3 1/2 cups Anjou or Bartlett pears, large dice1 cup fresh strawberries, quartered2/3 cup sugar1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, minced (or food processed with the sugar!)1/4 tsp cinnamon1/8 tsp star anise1 tbsp grated fresh ginger1/2 tsp grated grapefruit zest3 tbsp instant (minute) tapiocaPastry for two pie crusts (one for base, one for lattice); store-bought is fine.1–2 tbsp unsalted butterAdditional sugar for sprinklingFood dye (optional)Combine fruit, sugar, herbs, spices and tapioca. Let rest for 30 minutes at room temperature, stirring occasionally. Optionally, add a few drops of green food dye.Preheat oven to 375ºF.Roll out one pie crust and lay into a 9" pie dish. It should hang over the edge some. Lay in filling and accumulated fruity liquid to a level height.Roll out the second pie crust (optionally adding pink or red food dye) and slice into 14–16 strips of even width, about 1/2".Lay the strips in a grid on top of the pie, lifting every other strip as you go, over–under, to form a woven lattice. BONUS: Skewing your grid at 45 degrees to form diamonds instead of squares makes for a fancier looking lattice!Cut off any strip excess that's hanging over the edge of the dish and then fold the bottom crust up over the strips, crimping them together all the way around.Place pea-sized cubes of unsalted butter at every lattice intersection and then sprinkle additional sugar along the lines of the lattice.Tent the rim of the dish with foil to protect the crust (don't fully cover it; aim for somewhere between a lampshade and a yurt) and bake for 35 minutes.Remove or untent the foil and continue baking for another 30–40 minutes. The pie is done when the crust has browned and, crucially, the filling is visibly bubbling all over, like Mumm-Ra's cauldron. Overdone will look way too brown and underdone won't be bubbling everywhere.Remove and rest at room temperature for at least an hour before serving.Happy Rammastide!Please Like 👍 Comment 📝 and Subscribe ✔️ to support the channel!⁠⁠⁠THUNDERCATS INSTAGRAM⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TWITTER⁠⁠⚡️For Business Inquiries Email: Ryanhunterstudios@gmail.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

    ThunderCats Reviews: 4:120 & 4:121 "Malcar" & "Helpless Laughter" (1989)
    Dec 21 2025

    Welcome Back Bunglers! ⚡

    We’re heading into the final episodes of our beloved series, and your Radical Retro Brothers welcome back our friend Zack as cohost for another double dose of kitty cat fun!

    Today's double episodes starts with "Malcar":

    ⚡"Mumm-Ra summons Malcar, an ancient alchemist, to return from the dead. The alchemist returns old and weak, as he was when he died. Mumm-Ra takes him to the forest of youth to restore his youth and power. Malcar regains his powers and uses them against the Thundercats. He transforms all the Thunderillium on the planet into Thundrainium."

    Then in "Helpless Laughter":

    ⚡"A convergence of the Moons of Plun-Darr causes a drought on Thundera. Panthro and Snarf go looking for water, then Ezuka, the flying Serpent of Dreary Canal wanting to get water itself, attacks Panthro and Snarf and causes them to fall into the Swamp of the Laughing Lilypads, making them laugh out of control. Ezuka attacks the Lair, still looking for water. Lion-O uses the Sword to make some rain, then he and Ben-Gali use the Thunderstrike to melt some ice, but Mumm-Ra comes along and causes a flood. Lion-O calls for the others, which also free Panthro and Snarf from the laughter and they use some of the Swamp's water to cause Mumm-Ra to laugh uncontrollably, and he falls in the flood waters and is washed away."

    ⚡Original Airdates: September 15, 1989 & September 16, 1989. ⚡

    ✨Thank you to the "ThunderCats Wiki" for the plot synopsis✨

  • Episode 176: "A Mom for Christmas" (1990)

    Episode 176: "A Mom for Christmas" (1990)
    Dec 12 2025

    Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

    We are back with another brand-new episode of Radical Retro Rewind and this week we are celebrating the holidays with a Rob for Christmas. Our favorite movie geek Rob returns to join Ryan and David as we tackle the uniquely charming and completely confusing TV holiday favorite "A Mom for Christmas" from 1990!

    We unpack all the big questions, starting with how Olivia Newton-John nearly burns down the main character’s house with absolutely no reaction...the neon glow, the harlequin doll themed department store chaos, and the oddly creepy moments that somehow still end up feeling warm and festive. Also, public safety tip from Radical Ones. Just don’t decorate your tree with real candles like Victorian London!

    Originally airing on NBC on December 17, 1990, this marked Olivia Newton-John’s very first made for TV movie and it truly lives in a holiday category all its own. Grab the cocoa, plug in the Christmas lights, and join us for magic mannequins, retail romance, holiday logic that makes no sense at all!

    "The story follows 11-year-old Jessica Slocum (played by Juliet Sorci), who lost her mother at a young age. With her father, Jim (Doug Sheehan), being a workaholic and emotionally distant, Jessica feels the absence of maternal love deeply. Just before Christmas, she wins a free wish from a wishing well and wishes for a mother. Her wish is granted when Amy Miller, a department store mannequin brought to life by Philomena (Doris Roberts), becomes her temporary mother figure. However, Amy can only stay until Christmas Eve, leading to a heartwarming and magical journey as Jessica tries to keep her new mom in her life.”

    Stars: Olivia Newton-John, Juliet Sorci, Doug Sheehan, and Doris Roberts.

    ThunderCats Reviews Bonus Number Ten: "Trials of Temptation: Ma-Mutt Takes Down The Pussycats!” By Metesh!
    Dec 5 2025

    Welcome Back Bunglers! ⚡

    Ryan and David are back with a brand new bonus episode and we are starting things off with some exciting news about upcoming guest episodes. We have incredible conversations on the way and cannot wait to share them with all of you.

    Before we dive into today’s chaos, we also have a wonderful message from a fellow Bungler named Chris that absolutely made our day. (Please follow his retro toy account!)

    After that, we jump right into another fantastic What If story by our brilliant Bungler Metesh:

    "In this wild two-part ThunderCats parody tale, Karen the Unicorn Keeper recounts how Maa-Mutt tried to eliminate the ThunderCats the night before The Last Day by summoning the almighty HOA, who sent two irresistible cosmic beings, Ravishing Ryan and Delicious David, to tempt each ThunderCat with personalized “Trials of Temptation.” Cheetara is seduced by endless gold, Tygra is forced into motivational-speaker rehab duty, Panthro meets his 2011 counterpart and a fleet of ThunderTanks, the ThunderKittens age into fashionable shopaholics trapped in an eternal mall-daycare, and Pumyra is offered a noble chance to save Thunderian refugees across the galaxy. Even Lion-O and Bengali face a steamy, dinner-and-dance test of self-control. But Maa-Mutt’s plan collapses when Lynx-O escapes his VR prison and rescues everyone, just as Snarf and Snarfer return from their all-inclusive Snarf YMCA vacation. The tale ends with Karen reminding everyone that the real heroes, the angelic Radical Brothers from Beyond, can always be found on Radical Retro Rewind?! every Friday."

    Episode 175: "Case 39" (2009)
    Nov 28 2025

    Welcome Back Radical Ones! ⚡️

    This week we are diving into the chilling world of “Case 39“ from 2009 with our amazing guest cohost and friend Cadu.

    This was a first-time watch for Ryan at Cadu’s suggestion, and wow did this movie take us on a ride. Starring Renée Zellweger and directed by Christian Alvart, this supernatural thriller gave us plenty to talk about.

    And we have TWO special surprises for you. Christian himself sent in an incredible message filled with behind the scenes insights about the making of the film. And the talented Kerry O’Malley, who played Margaret Sullivan, shared a beautiful and heartfelt video for all our Radical Ones that absolutely made our day!

    Grab your folder marked Case 39, settle in... it’s time to get Radical!

    "Emily Jenkins, portrayed by Renée Zellweger, is a dedicated social worker who becomes involved in the case of 10-year-old Lilith Sullivan (Jodelle Ferland). Lilith's declining grades and emotional distress raise concerns about her home life, leading Emily to investigate her family situation. Emily suspects that Lilith's parents are abusive and proposes to remove the child from their custody. The situation escalates dramatically when Emily discovers that Lilith's parents, Edward and Margaret, attempt to kill her by roasting her alive in their oven. Emily intervenes just in time, saving Lilith with the help of Detective Mike Barron (Ian McShane). Following this traumatic event, Lilith is placed in Emily's care until a suitable foster family can be found. However, strange occurrences begin to unfold in Emily's life after Lilith moves in, leading her to suspect that Lilith may not be as innocent as she appears."

    Starring: Renée Zellweger, Jodelle Ferland, Ian McShane, Bradley Cooper, Kerry O'Malley & Callum Keith Rennie.

It is pure camp magic!

Arriving in England, the trio settles in at the raucous Happiness Hotel and seeks out socialite Lady Holiday, the victim of the theft. Soon Miss Piggy appears, intending to work for Lady Holiday, but she ends up being framed by the aristocrat's scheming brother, Nicky. Kermit and company work to clear Piggy's name.”

    ThunderCats Reviews: 4:118 & 4:119 "The Heritage" & "Screwloose" (1989)
    Nov 14 2025

    Welcome Back Bunglers! ⚡

    We’re heading back to New Thundera with one of the most dedicated ThunderCats fans in the world: Egmond from We Want More ThunderCats! From his childhood in South Africa watching the series for the first time to sparking the global #WeWantMoreThunderCats movement, Egmond has helped keep the ThunderCats flame alive for fans everywhere.

    In this episode, Ryan and David chat with Egmond about his lifelong love for the series, how his fan campaign helped inspire Super7’s toy line revival. From action figures to today’s double episodes it’s a perfectly radical celebration of the fandom that refuses to fade! (And with that golden sphere gleaming on New Thundera, maybe Cheetara isn’t the only cat with gold fever this week!)

    Today's double episodes starts with "The Heritage":

    ⚡"Wilykat and Wilykit discover the Golden Sphere of Setti, an ancient artifact that once belonged to Mumm-Ra. The sphere magnifies his power by four, making him more powerful than the Ancient Spirits of Evil."

    Then in "Screwloose":

    ⚡"Jagara cannot work New Thundera's Gyroscope on her own. So, the ThunderCats send for a robot to aid her in running it. Screwloose, a robot who specializes in Gyro's, comes to New Thundera."

    ⚡Original Airdates: September 13, 1989 & September 14, 1989. ⚡
