Super Nuclear Group

Remember the cartoons you loved as a kid? Do you, like us, remember mid-2000s Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network with a mix of fondness and terror – or, if you don’t, do you want to know what the fuss was about? Join Mary, David, and Ben as we revisit the cartoons that shaped us in an episode-by-episode deep dive, as well as the Internet fan culture as it was then and is now. How do these nostalgic shows hold up? What do we think of them now, as not kids but sad adults? How has the zeitgeist and

512 Must Go – A Super Nuclear Pokemon Miniseries |...

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2025/05/12

After nearly a year since our last Titan Talk, deep in the ennui and tension of adult life, Mary, David and Ben heard a calling. Nay, a stirring in our very souls. And so we came together in the dying days of the Skype messenger service, on a sacred and singular mission – To cut the Pokedex (almost) neatly in half. That’s right, as veritable boomers raised on the original 151, we have come to the conclusion there are too many Pokemon nowadays, please eliminate three. And so we’re going to go from

TT #9 - WHAT WERE THE CHIPS FOR??? (Masks)

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2024/04/19

Masks, the debut of Red X, is considered one of the best episodes of Season 1 - so why did we think it was so mediocre? The plot is bare-bones, questions go unanswered, there are so many opportunities for emotional fulfillment and character development that are just glossed over, and the twist, oh the TWIST! Who ever saw THAT coming??? What is this, a show for ten-year-olds? (It does have some VERY cool robots, however.) Be warned that this episode is rife with Cat Behavior from a few usually-silent

2024/02/23

Apologies for the impromptu break, everyone – we’re back and we’re ready to party! Or, uh, in this case, cringe, because despite being written by the original author of The New Teen Titans comics, this episode… isn’t all that great. Of Teen Titans, I mean. WE, your humble podcasters, are in top form. And together we look on in horror as the Titans make one idiotic decision after another. Beast Boy develops an inferiority complex that actively hinders the mission, Starfire and Raven fawn over a boy

TT #7 - Got My Body Switched at Claire's (Switched)

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2023/12/18

Alright, time to dive headfirst into that tried and true staple of western animation, the body swap episode! None of us had remembered this one very fondly, and it turns out Mary had never seen at all. But it turns out it rules - especially because it's an EXCELLENT character study. Behold as Starfire-as-Raven destroys everything in her path, Raven-as-Starfire struggles to even feel a single emotion on purpose, and the boys... well, they're pretty wooden in this episode. Ba dum pish! This episode

TT #6 - I Hate You, Brain Dad (Nevermore)

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2023/11/26

In everyone's favorite Season 1 episode, Raven is subjected to too many puns and goes grimdark, prompting Beast Boy and Cyborg to venture into the Hot Topic dimension to save her. While there, they encounter not one Raven, but several! Including Finger Guns Raven, a staple of forum avatars in the mid-noughties, but not including Lust Raven, who DOES exist - they saved her for the tie-in comics. Cyborg and Beast Boy help her fight her dad, who may or may not qualify as an orc (Ben has opinions), they

2023/11/04

Today, Titan Talk goes out and touches grass! Come join us for a brief interlude at the park, followed by a much longer interlude in a hole at the dump. Points of curiosity: fine dijon mustard, five and a half pounds of baby back ribs, a nostalgic look back at Obama "scandals," and Tom Kenny in a dual role as a magical blue guy and another, less magical blue guy. And yes, we are sure it's actually him this time. Apologies for all the coughing, by the way - David and Mary were both sick when we

TT #4 - The Local Orb (Forces of Nature)

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2023/10/14

We had a bit of confusion about what this episode was called, all the way up until nearly the end of the recording. Mary and Ben could have sworn it was called Thunder and Lightning. David has the clearest head of all of us and knew from day 1 that it was Forces of Nature, and so we stand corrected. But Thunder and Lightning themselves weren't always forces of nature! Here we learn for the first time about just how different these two knuckleheads are from their comic counterparts, AND get a bit of

TT #3 - Stuck in His Goo (Divide and Conquer)

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2023/09/23

Here we are at the actual Teen Titans pilot episode - one that makes it readily apparent why they decided to air Final Exam first. Between underdeveloped characters, an inorganic conflict and a weak resolution, it definitely isn't the series putting its best foot forward. Which is funny because foot-related mishaps are what drive the plot. Also, we get to witness what could have been - Slade with a butler! Poor Wintergreen, this version of Slade was just too brooding and antisocial for your

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2023/09/12

Uh oh, watch out everyone! Starfire's cool older sister is in town and she's here to tempt our heroes into the depths of depravity. Lock the spice cabinet because she WILL empty your oregano into a baggie and sell it back to you. We do talk about drugs a lot in this one, as a heads up. But anyway! Not only is Sisters a fun episode, it's one of our first character study episodes in a show full of great ones. Not to mention a couple study, since this has the show's first big Robin and Starfire

TT #1 - Let's Try This Again (Final Exam)

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2023/09/05

After two long years and five even longer months, the dream lives again. Like three cockroaches crawling out of an irradiated crater, the Super Nuclear Group returns to deliver sweet, marketable cartoon nostalgia to your ear holes. This time, we're bidding a temporary adieu to Avatar and starting fresh with a show all three of us remember with misty-eyed longing - just in time for its 20th anniversary. That's right, it's Teen Titans time! We're covering the episodes in release order, not production

TAR #30 - He Died As He Lived: Like a Nerd (feat. Jess!)

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2021/04/03

We've reached the midpoint of season two, and with that, the midpoint of the whole show! This is a good time for us to take a little break from internet radio silliness (more on that in the episode), but first, here's Mary, David, and Jess talking owls and Kongsonas (also in the episode, obviously). === As mentioned above, Super Nuclear Group will be going on hiatus for some time. We will let you know when we return, and in the meantime we will remain active on Twitter and in the Discord

2021/04/03

I'm super sorry for the lateness of putting this on the main feed - I hadn't realized I hadn't scheduled it while I was waiting for the summary to come in. Thank you for your patience and look forward to The Library soon! === Welcome to Bitter Work (fun fact: that's what "kung fu" actually means!), an episode that's mostly about Sokka being stuck in a hole and talking to a Digimon, and also some other stuff happens, we guess. With Ben and David both out of commission, Jess and Quinn join Mary

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2021/03/19

Ah, the chase: a cartoon tradition. Tom chases Jerry, Sylvester chases Tweety, and in tonight's presentation, the Gaang is chased by a bunch of girls. Which I guess makes this more like the Avatar version of A Hard Day's Night (ask your grandma, zoomer). Our friend Gabe is here to bring the funny while Ben is away. Join us as we discuss such questions as: do sky bison reproduce by budding? If you poop in the spirit world, do you also poop in real life? And how fast does Iroh need to be going

Time for Zuko Alone, Avatar's cowboy episode! In lieu of Ben, we're joined once again by Quinn! (And no, we didn't eat Ben when we were all stranded on that raft in the middle of the ocean, no matter what the federales say.) Prepare for advanced Jaden Smith discussion, stinky piles o' poo, and the startling revelation that in the Avatar universe, bacon and eggs come from the same animal. This episode of The Avatar Recycle contains a content warning for discussion of slavery in video games at

2021/02/19

It's finally time for the episode everyone and their dog wanted to be on. Wait a minute... is CatDog an Avatar animal? Holy shit, I just thought of that literally right now. Nickelodeon Cinematic Universe confirmed! Anyway, Toph is in this one. Our friend (and very first fan!) Dianna joins us to talk about Toph and why she's an excellent example of positive representation of a blind person. Wrasslin', masculinity, parenting and James Randi are also discussed. Not necessarily in that order.

Hey... u up, winky face emoji? It's the horniest-ever episode of The Avatar Recycle, featuring Avatar Kyoshi and her enormous feet! The fandom has long called Avatar Day one of the worst episodes of the show, second only to The Great Divide. But is it really as bad as all that? Join the usual gang of idiots (plus Jess!) as we investigate! Enjoy such discoveries as the Sensitive Ruffian, elephant shrews, and well-oiled men with torches. There is a small period of spoilers from

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2021/02/04

Welcome back to The Avatar Recycle! Jess joins us yet again as we venture into fantasy Florida to meet some more smelly hippies and Toph, who is presumably also smelly. Topics include cholera, a five-pound bag of Swedish Fish, man's ever-evolving quest to communicate with spinach, and the time Jess's dad found a dead body and poked it with a stick. That last part isn't true. The part about the stick, we mean. === Check out Jess's work at http://beachghost.carrd.co ! Click here for

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2021/01/27

In this episode, the still-incomplete Gaang literally rolls around in raw sewage. (You can do that figuratively by listening to our podcast.) And on that note, who's ready for a lot of jokes about plagues and contagion? Like, jeez, read the room, 2006. Am I right? This episode also introduces us to Mai and Ty Lee, and just the many many ways Azula manipulates them horribly. Also - Mary is finally board-certified, David laughs about poop (yet again) and Ben reveals his tragic backstory. It

In this episode, we have two special treats for you: a new guest (welcome, Sigma!) and a link to a cool picture of a dragon we found on DeviantArt. Also? A SPECTACULAR episode. Let's call that treat number three. So many things that give us joy are here. Unwashed hippies. Unsupervised uncles. Unrestrained summer (spring) fun. Unwieldy teenage kissing. It's a regular U-fest up ins. === Click here for, indeed, a cool dragon we found on DeviantArt

Super Nuclear Presents ·

2021/01/14

It's another episode of The Avatar Recycle! Our hosts have managed to tear themselves away from the ongoing collapse of civilization to babble about magic cartoon teenagers for another couple of hours. This time, it's The Avatar State! Where is it, and why doesn't it have representation in Congress? We're introduced to Azula, who is still an incredible villain - despite the fact that, to our aging hosts, she now looks babey. We are also left to linger on the concept of feet. Earthbender feet,
