GI Joburg Episode 45 Oct 14, 2014

Show notes

GI Joburg tackles another listener-suggested topic. This time we discuss the merits and potential membership of a special GI Joe unit made up of former Cobra operatives! And not a mention of Mercer.
But there's more to this fertile topic than meets the eye. Which Cobra's would likely make up the team? Would such a scheme even work? Who would oversee them? Do GI Joe's civilian identities 'die' when joining the team? Which Joes are likely to turn traitor? Does anyone do 'silent' dio stories? It's all here...

GI Joburg Episode 39: "In The Cobra's Pit" Sep 10, 2014

Show notes

Today 30 years ago GI Joe: The Revenge Of Cobra aired for the first time. You may of course know it by it's street name: 'The Weather Dominator'. The five-part miniseries followed almost exactly a year to the day on the heels of the first GI Joe miniseries, The Adventures Of GI Joe. Or 'Mass Device'. It would appear Sunbow and Marvel had managed trap lightening in a bottle. With new characters, new weapons and equipment and superb production, she's as worthy a topic to podcast as any. So to mark it's 30th anniversary, GI Joburg discusses each episode in turn for the following five days. We kick it off today with episode 1, "In The Cobra's Pit".

GI Joburg Episode 37 Aug 20, 2014

Show notes

Everybody has elements of GI Joe they dislike. Everybody. For Rob, it’s the Dreadnoks. For Paul, Battleforce: 2000 gets his ire; for Steve, mention of the D.E.F makes him vomit in his mouth a little. The challenge for episode 37? Try and say something nice about these personal peeves.

Try.

Try real hard.

Also, Paul gets acquainted with his 50th anniversary Night Viper and airs his nitpicks.

And remember: real heroes don’t do drugs.
