Saturday Morning Buffoons

The Buffoons not only return to the podcast universe, they introduce a new segment - "The Classified Section". In this episode they'll review 3 G.I. Joe Classified Figures. Each one is chosen by a different buffoon. In this installment you'll hear about:

Snow Job

Sgt. Slaughter

Rock 'N Roll

In this episode the buffoons re-watch and review the episode that launched the entire G.I. Joe Series - The M.A.S.S. Device Pt. 1: The Cobra Strikes.

After a (way too long) hiatus, the Buffoons are back and changed things up a little bit. In this episode they review the SoCal Joe Show in Temecula, CA as well as explore their lifelong passion for G.I. Joe action figures.

The Buffoons dive into the DiC era of G.I. Joe. It turns out they hate it. They also go down the rabbit hole on a great many things including The Dukes of Hazzard, 90s tropes, Don Johnson and a bunch of other malarkey.  PARENTAL ADVISORY.
