GI Joburg Episode 99: Cujo's Conspiracies Sep 23, 2017

Show notes

And now for something a little... illuminating. GI Joe is under fire, and Cujo has been in the trenches. In our ninety-ninth official outing we offer the mic up to our American correspondent for the truth on IDW, GI Joe, and the preeminence of Larry Hama. If you're in the mood for untangling a mystery or two, step a little closer...

And once again, if you wish to help our pal Timmer on his quest to donate toys to children in need, you can find the relevant vid at:

GI Joburg Episode 98 Operation Dragonfire, Day 5 Sep 15, 2017

Show notes

Time to wrap up on another miniseries. Operation Dragonfire, love it or hate it, it's part of GI Joe history. And to quote the Sally Jupiter from Watchmen: "Every day, the future looks a little bit darker. But the past... even the grimy parts of it... keep on getting brighter."

And you don't get much grimier than Operation Dragonfire.

But dammit, I love it all the same.

Enjoy.

Also, please take a look at a very noble initiative by fellow Joe content creator on YouTube - Timmer. You can find the relevant vid at:

GI Joburg Episode 97 Operation Dragonfire, Day 4 Sep 14, 2017

Show notes

This episode has it all! Double crosses! Triple crosses! The titanic struggle between Cobra Commander and Serpentor! Low-Light being a baddass! Zarana getting dumped! A spectacular aerial duel between some underutilized Cobra jets! And of course, a conspicuous yellow panty...

Since the one true CC is being reinstated, it felt right to pay tribute to his finest action figure incarnations.

So what are you waiting for?!

GI Joburg Episode 94: Operation Dragonfire, Day 1 Sep 11, 2017

Show notes

We've run out of Sunbow miniseries' to review... So this September we reach for the DIC! But it's not all bad. In fact, some of it is pretty darn interesting. Stay tuned as we discuss the highs and lows of this era of GI Joe cartoon adventures for five days straight! We also discuss the potential animal companions of the GI Joburg squad, and we see red with a definitive sculpt section devoted to the Crimson Guard. Stay locked onto us this week for a whole lotta DIC.

Okay, the DIC thing is getting old, I'll try to reign it in. But it was so damn funny to me as a child. I don't think I'll ever get over it.

GI Joburg Episode 91: Ninja Force Jul 22, 2017

Show notes

Some folks out there might want to skip this one... We're tackling a subgroup that may well be the one that made GI Joe jump the shark. We are talking Ninja Force. And the opinions shared may shock you. Or amuse you. Hopefully both. We get into the art of negative reinforcement and the double bluff, courtesy of our man Psyche Out. And our definitive sculpt section deals with the first lady of GI Joe, a woman with no shortage of ninja connections, the one and only Scarlett. So check your spring action ninja moves and get ready to throw down with Slice & Dice & Everything Nice!

GI Joburg Episode 90: The 1990s Jul 05, 2017

Show notes

It's Episode 90! So we're talking the 1990's! Like duh. The neon. The spring-loaded missiles. The football lingo. We'll tackle it all. We answer the important questions like whether Low-Light should be blonde or beardy. And whether Aubrey Sitterson is winning the war on Cobra mind control...

Cowabunga Dudes.
