Four men, two decades of cartoons, three braincells and a tendency to go completely off topic.
If you're looking for facts and well made points, keep moving. If you love cartoons and talking nonsense, then take a seat and put your feet up friend, as we take a look into the crazy world of 80's and 90's cartoons.

Alvin and the Chipmunks S03E20
This week Alvin and the Chipmunks sing us out for our final episode EVER. (unless there is money involved, or beer probably)
We manage to hold back the tears as we take a last look at an 80's or 90's cartoon and barely talk about it.. we get distracted talking about food.
There is the deciding round of 'Would I lie to you' and LOTS of nonsense.
This week we watched Alvin and the Chipmunks Season 1 episode 8(5a) Mr Fabulous.
Its honestly been a pleasure to share this with you all, but for now.
Thank you and Goodbye.

New Kids on the Block S03E19
This week the old kids on the block watch the 'New Kids On The Block' and its a shocker!
This famously famous bad cartoon gets the squad juices flowing in an episode chosen by Jamie because he likes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! yes this weeks choice is THAT tenuous as we watched S01E04 "Cowa-BONK-a"!!
We discuss how the cartoon representations of Mick, Chad, Huey and Albert ( I watched it for 20 minues and researched this cartoon and I still don't know their names!) really dont add much.
As we approach the END of BTP we still legally have to talk nonsense and do a quiz and stuff and try to offend at least someone listening so enjoy all of that in this weeks fantastic episode.

Godzilla S03E18
The star of this week’s award-winning podcast has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The protagonist on this nationally acclaimed ear organism of an episode has squared off against both the Avengers and the Fantastic Four…
Gojira, Kaiju, the king of the monsters, gorilla whale, big mother sticker with much junk in the truck…
Whatever you want to call him (*oh shoot) (*he/she/it/plant/Mars Bar/artificial limb…fook knows what the correct pro-noun is currently), one thing we can all agree on…Godzilla takes shits bigger than Kane’s nose…Sorry bro. Cheap shot.
This week it is James’s choice, and he has picked the 90’s cartoon; ‘Godzilla: The Series’. This pretty much picks up where the 90’s film finished off.
James did a James this week and we all watched different episodes of the series. Some of us watched, ‘An Early Frost’ and some of us reviewed ‘Web Site’. We are as well prepared as Godzilla doing a Dr. Pepper advert. You read that correctly.
I’ve got a few words to play with so I’m doing it…: Godzilla was originally going to be a giant, mutated octopus called Dan. Godzilla is a cross between a Tyrannosaurus, an Iguanodon, a Stegosaurus, and alligator and Dale Winton. Facts.
Whilst I am at it, palaeontologist Mike P Taylor, claims that the limb cartilage in a Godzilla-sized animal would be crushed “like over-ripe watermelons” by its own body weight and therefor the G-man could never exist. Fuck you, Mike. I bet the P stands for twat.
Have a listen to the pod for the usual bollocks, ‘would you rather’, ‘would I lie to you’ and all that other jazz.
If you like a professional podcast, I wouldn’t bother with this. If you don’t care about quality but love a ‘little person’ joke, then pull up a chair.

Mister T S03E17
Its T time fools!
This Yorkshire based cartoon involves Mr T a character who shows people the correct way to make a cuppa tea! (Get pot, hot water to warm, empty, add tea, hot water, leave 2 mins 45 seconds, pour into cup with milk already in).
Actually it's THE Mister T with an import message on avoiding child kidnappin molestors! Dont eat a hamburger if two strange adults come up to you and offer it.
Its a serious subject, but a not very serious episode as you would expect from us lot.
All our usual fantastic features are here as we discuss Mister T S01E23 "Mystery of the stranger"

Taz-Mania S03E16
Hello everyone, By The Power Squad member Kane here…..
I’ve been told I have to write a blurb for this episode and truth be told, I’d had a few too many whiskeys during this recording and I don’t remember very much of it.
So it goes without saying, listen at your own risk!
Oh, we were supposed to be reviewing the loony tunes 90s hit Taz-Mania, episode 45a Young Taz’s fancy. I can only presume we have a deep discussion about Taz’s influence on 90s culture with all the other usual By The Power classic segments such as ‘would I lie to you?’ And ‘Would you rather’.
Enjoy!

Goof Troop S03E15
H-H-H-H Hit it!
1992. What a Dippy Dawg dang dope year.
Jeffrey Dahmer went to prison, Time Magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ was Bill Clinton, Aladdin was the highest-grossing film of the year, Stu mastered his argument skills, Kane was twenty years off being born, Jamie became a member of the Oompa Loompa fan club and James fingered his first bird.
And more importantly…
Goof Troop – the animated TV series came out.
You know the one…dopey, furry git with funny teeth? Nooooo…Not Ken Dodd!!! No tickle sticks in this cartoon. Or maybe there is? It would certainly explain a lot.
This cartoon stars the one and only Disney G man himself – Goofy, and his son, Max as they get into all kinds of shenanigans in Spoonerville. Like father, like son, you’re always number one… (when you know you know).
Fact. According to Pinto Colvig, the original voice artist for the character, Goofy was inspired by a "grinny, half-baked village nitwit" from his hometown of Jacksonville. Brilliant.
The cartoon that we all watched in advance of recording the award winning and globally recognised podcast was – ‘E=MC Goof’.
Ok Power Squad – It’s time to report to the Goof Troop. La-doop-a-loo bop boppa doo bop! Yeah!

Chip n Dale: Rescue Rangers (The new one) - Special
Its a special episode to discuss a remake of a ‘By The Power’ Fave.
Stu was looking forward to seeing Gadget again, and the rest of the squad were looking forward to a nostalgia craving up there with Monty and some stinky Che Che Cheeeeese.
And Rescue rangers the Disney plus movie delivers! Its a modern remake inspired by Roger Rabbit and not really what any of us expected.
We still squeeze in a 'would you rather' and spend a lot of time talking about Peter Pan and wonder who in Disney managed to get approval for all of this!
We watched Chip and Dale : Rescue rangers on Disney+

Doyle and Aimee travel from earth and meet a pretty diverse bunch of aliens in the Chris Columbus ( you know him! Home Alone, Gremlins, Goonies, Harry Potter!) Cartoon.
We study hard to pass a quiz, discuss food at lunch break and at home time argue about Robots Vs Aliens in our 'Would you Rather'.
We watched episode 8 the Bikini filled "Beach Blanket Blowup".

Durango Doug.
He's got a rock-hard head, and he eats stale bread.
Durango Doug.”
In this week’s episode, the Power Squad review the 90s Nickelodeon hit show 'Doug'.
This recording has everything you can expect from a classic 'By the Power' Podcast, we discuss the difference in toilets around the world, the best way to make gravy, cartoons based around the explorer Christopher Columbus and we even manage to have a quick chat about ‘Doug’.
We reviewed the episode ‘Doug: Way Out West’ Season 4 Episode 12B.

Little Shop S03E11
This week Seymour Krelborn puts his seed in a pot and a giant sharp toothed man eating monster appears.
Its every 13 year olds nightmare in this cartoon version of the black comedy movie from 1960 (yup that was news to us too! the 1982 one IS better though)

Star Wars: Ewoks S03E10
Chiba chiba sohpa?
The Power Squad (that’s us four sexy badgers) were all set and ready to record another globally acclaimed and award winning podcast when the bulbs of light hit us…
Today is the 4th May, or May the 4th…something that gets discussed on this bloody great ear juice of a listen. Either way, it’s Star Wars day bayyyybayyyyyy.
And so….last minute change of plans. ‘Let’s cover an 80’s/90’s Star Wars cartoon’ and we have already covered Droids. Stop and sing long time “Trouble again…du du du…trouble again”. If that makes no sense, go right now and listen to the Droids theme and then come back and tell us how we have wasted you time. Lol. I hate Lol but continue to write lol. Hang about…Does Lol have a capitol L? It does now.
Right - what do you get if you say wookie backwards?
Ewok.
This week we cover: ‘Star Wars: Ewoks’. The series centers on the adventures of the Ewok, Wicket W. Warrick and his friends on the forest moon of Endor before the events of the original Star Wars film. The episode we ‘loosely’ cover is ‘Battle for the Sun Star’ (E12 S2).
This is also available on Disney+ who I am informed is going to be the next By The Power sponsor.
As usual you have 5 minutes of cartoon talk and 55 minutes of ‘Would you rather’, the hit segment ‘Would I lie to you’, conversation about food, Talk about Batman and a chat about Stu’s fantasy of sticking his man lightsaber in a small, furry, mammaloid biped.
Oh and by the way, we speak some badass Ewokese. ‘Chiba chiba sohpa?’ translates as - "Hide and then come out chopping heads?". Yep.

Bionic Six S03E09
The Moronic four discuss the Bionic Six, and there can be only one outcome.
And as expected its an episode filled with nonsense, jokes, arguments, trivia and a would you rather that unbelievably ISN'T about Bionic Dicks.
This 80's cartoon based heavily on The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman has all of the Power Squad in agreement as we watched episode 2 from Season 1 "Enter the Bunji".

BraveStarr S03E08
In this episode we take a look at Brave Starr, the gun toting, bear lifting, Eagle seeing, wolf hearing, pooooma racing Marshall who takes no prisoners.
Well except for the guys he arrests. They are his prisoners.
OK so in this episode we take a look at Brave Starr, the gun toting, bear lifting, Eagle seeing, wolf hearing pooooma racing Marshall who takes prisoners.
Not since seeing Zammo from Grange Hill (if you know you know) have I ever been this put off taking drugs. So grab your kids and settle down for a cautionary tale about drugs, addiction, and a talking horse.
The episode we watched was BraveStarr S01E26 'The Price'

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog S03E07
In this episode of By The Power, we are ‘loosely’ covering the ‘Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog’.
The cartoon is based on the classic video game Sonic the Hedgehog and is one of three different Sonic cartoons produced in the 90s and for some reason, we chose to cover the lowest ranked of the three.
Listen to one hours’ worth of BTP fun where we have a ‘dramatic’ result in ‘would I lie to you’, cover all the usual By The Power discussion points and a lot of chat about Tails.
The BTP team watched ‘’Tails in Charge’’ Season 1 episode 26.
Sonic Sez, ‘’Give the By The Power podcast a 5 star review’’

Muppet Babies S03E06
Ok you monkey paw loving, berry scrubbing little sausages; sing along with me now…
“Muppet Babies, we make our dreams come trueeeeee. Muppet Babies, we'll do the same for youuuuuu”
That’s right, this week we are covering X-Men…Just kidding of course. Lol as the kids say, Wocka Wocka as we say.
This week we are ‘loosely’ covering (and I mean loosely covering) Muppet Babies.
Waving arms wildly and shouting "Yaaaay!" is optional.
Not the 2018 version that includes that stupid a$$ penguin called Summer. We’re old school baybayyyyyyyy!!! We are covering the 1984 classic that stars Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Animal, Scooter, Skeeter, Rowlf the Dog (who looks very similar to ‘By The Power’ host James) and Gonzo.
The episode we cover is Season 1 Episode 12 – ‘from a galaxy far, far away’. Jamie dropped a bit of a blooper here as he thought this was the Star Wars Muppet Babies episode. It wasn’t but it does have a koala in it so kind of close…
Listen in for the usual cartoony nonsense, the hit quiz ‘would I lie to you’, a classic ‘would you rather’ and the terrible segment ‘which goody would you kill and how’.
Jeez Louise…It’s no wonder we can’t get a sponsor. Give us all the monies.

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha gonna do?
Whatcha gonna do when they come for you?
We review an absolute classic the CARTOON show COPS (Central Organization of Police Specialists) from 1984.
In an arresting episode of BTP, we charge headlong into 'would I lie to you', murdering cartoon characters, asking ridiculous questions and everything else you love from the squad.
We watched "The case of the missing memory" which is episode 55 from the second season.

The fantastic Bert, his married roommates, an evil aardvark, three little pigs, a dog another aardvark and multiple bears.
Its a truly stacked week and we make things even more complicated by watching an episode involving dreams and time travel, to quote James directly “Am I watching the right thing? I don’t understand what’s happening?”.
He doesn’t! Jamie doesn’t! Does anyone? Is this how people feel when they listen to us?!
Lots more in this episode with your very favourite BTP member Kane, our usual features and a special little surprise.

My Pet Monster S03E02
In a slightly later than usual release we for the second time ever review and discuss a cartoon that none of us had ever seen.
Jamie chose this one because he is very proud of his own little my pet monster.
Its a cartoon by Nelvana who have quietly released some really good cartoons since the 1970's and at least one live action blockbuster, we discuss this and take the time to squeeze in our regular features.
And at no point do we discuss 100 dicks or inflatable dolls.

Batman: The Animated Series S03E01
Welcome to a brand new season of 'By the Power'! and for our 51st episode its a hugely popular cartoon for lots of very good reasons.
We discuss what some of us consider to be the best version of Batman, a beautifully animated cartoon which is almost certainly in Jamie's top five cartoons ever.
AND as its a new season we have a brand new quiz, Brand new features and the same old mix of nonsense and fun we hope you all love.
This week we watched '"Almost Got 'Im' " which was episode 46 from Season 1 of Batman: the Animated Series.

And this week Stu chooses his number 1.. 'Gadget'.. and the rest of the Rescue Rangers too.
So sit down and open a Cola as we discuss episode 14 from season 2 "The Case of the Cola Cult".
This episode of BTP is extra cheesy and stuffed full of fun as we hit our last ever "whose line was it anyway" and tease whats coming in season 3 (its going to start off a bit dark).
Thanks to everyone who listened during Season 2 from Stu, James, Jamie and Kane.

Voltron S02E24
Robots! Lions! ROBOT LIONS!
Robot Lions that combine into a bigger Robot Lion.. What's not to love in this weeks cartoon VOLTRON.
We discuss the history of giant robots in anime and cartoons, have fun thinking about how much fun it would be becoming the leg and ask why in these cartoons dont they just become the giant robot at the start!
When Voltron was adapted for US audiences they famously removed scenes depicting death, religion, sex and violence. We dont remove any of that from our episodes! BTP 1 - Voltron 0.
All of our usual fun and games are here as we get close to the end of this season.
We watched the episode 'Voltron Vs Voltron' Season 1 Episode 44.

We watched the episode 'Voltron Vs Voltron' Season 1 Episode 44.

The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes S02E23
You like Tomayto! I like Tomarto!
Tomayto! Tomarto!
Tomayto! Tomarto!
Lets call the whole thing off..
Worry not listeners we did not call it off, instead we dived into a vegetable disaster of an episode. A kids cartoon based on a 1978 horror movie parody 'The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", we watched the very first episode "Give a little whistle".
We chat about sexy Toms.. little Toms.. Furry Toms and everything in between. There is our usual quiz moment, an amazing joke, and discuss a problem at the BTP studio!
"A problem at the studio, whats that?" you ask?
Well its the place we all sit with our microphones and record the podcast of course! but I'm not sure thats important right now.
So grab those earphones, settle down in bed and let the BTP squad help you sleep...

Swat Kats S02E22
We do love it when Animals that think they are humans fight bad guys!
We really love it when there are Dinosaurs in our cartoons.
We really REALLY love it when its as insane as Swat Kats!
We give this cartoon a very solid score, we quiz one another on our favourite cartoon animals, ask arguably the worst 'would you rather' so far.
And James and Jamie demonstrate why we are such a hit podcast!
This week we watched Episode one of season one of Swat Kats.

Defenders of the Earth S02E21
If the 'By The Power' squad were to be in a cartoon I think it would be Defenders of the earth, but which characters would we be?

This week we watched the episode "The Sleeper Awakes" we rate it and discuss the all powerful literally unstoppable Annihilation robot.

When a super-suit lands on a worm and that worm mutates into a bigger worm with eyes.. you know your in for a treat, that's what I always say!
This week let's take in a great video game that launched a popular cartoon, more video games and a new season later this year.
We also have a special one off new quiz 'Who Worms to be a Millionaire' which is exactly as fun as it sounds.
All the usual stuff and nonsense and a last 10 minutes that might make you end the podcast early.. but DON'T as you will miss James telling possibly the best joke of the year so far.
This week we watched Earthworm Jim S01E05 - "Conqueror Worm".

Shoe People S02E19
In an episode about shoes that are people we have questions!
And as its 'By the Power' you're listening to you wont be surprised that a large number of them involve romantic relations with shoes.
We do also discuss the actual cartoon that made its way with a dubbed version to the USA and 60+ other countries too, It must be good then right... RIGHT!?
We had a lot of fun and tried not to tread over any old ground as we watched Shoe People episode 1 and 2 of series/season 1.

Moomins S02E18
The Moomins are a brilliantly weird hippo-ish looking family that star in some of the best cartoons available.
This must be true as since 1959 there have been 14 entirely different programmes created in 8 countries.
We watched 'Moomin' The 1990 Japanese made version and we didnt all love it.. However we did love wondering whats so special about the Moomins. And as usual the cartoon is an excuse to talk nonsense and have some fun.
This week we watched 'Moomins' S01E60 'The Terrible Little My'.

Bonus Episode - Christmas toys of the 80's and 90's
Merry Christmas Power Squad!
In this weeks bonus episode we reminisce about the toys we received and the ones that got away.
Kane and Jamie used most of their toys to fight with, James got to travel to a Galaxy far, far away and Stu was all about the Dino's.
Jamie has 100! 'would you rather's' ready to go and we complete way less than that.
Its a packed festive treat that somehow also finds time for scary dolls, Santa stories, jolly jokes and some real cracking fun.
Wishing you all a happy Christmas.

Recess S02E16
Time for a break from the oldies by looking at a more modern cartoon than many we have talked about, which is unsurprising as its chosen by Baby Kane.
Its also another chance to get in the Christmas mood as the Episode we watched was 'Yes Mikey, Santa does shave'.
We get all nostalgic about our own memories of Santa and when we found out the truth! (That Santa is very hard working and couldn't do it all without Mrs Claus and the wonderful Elves)
We gift each other plenty of abuse this week as we put our feet in front of a roaring fire, drink some mulled wine and talk about this fantastic cartoon.
We watched Recess Season 3 Episode 6 'Yes Mikey, Santa does shave'.

Dino Riders S02E15
Before Jurassic Park there was Dino Riders, Men taming beasts to serve as their personal vehicles...
But with LASERS! Lots of LASERS! and Chaps (the ones you wear) and some casual stereotypes.
Jamie chooses a cartoon of which he has very fond memories, but he may be alone with that opinion.
We ride along with him and and take another stab at a 'whose line was it anyway', then break for a would you rather and close with a James CLASSIC joke.
Theres lots more nonsense in between including Jamie trying a new quiz out 'Dinosaur or not' (SPOILER- its a one and done, thank the gods) Stu throws a bit of a wobbly about it and Kane points out his house is old, almost as old as the Dinosaurs.
We watched Episode 13 of the first and only season 'One to Lead us'.

Listen to find out if Stu can hold on to his lead in Jamies quiz 'whose line was it anyway?', stay until the end to hear if James can finally get a full joke out uncut, and learn what the squad would do with millions of pounds.

We see if Stu can keep his lead in Jamies fantastic quiz 'whose line was it anyway?'.
Jamie shares some pun filled jokes as we discuss a cartoon that also loves its puns and is heavily influenced by all of the sci fi that came before it.
Kane shares his memories of playing with his Bucky toys as a child and this weeks would you rather tries to distract us from the inevitable sexy animal discussions (but fails).

Ox Tales S02E12
Ox Tales.. WooHoo, its a real Ox blur this week as Ollie and his alliterative (according to Jamie) animal pals make the Power squad wonder what on earth is going on.
Exploding Elephants, angry Alligators, hungry Hippos?? and mad Moles do not do it for all of the team this week.
Its our first cartoon based on a dutch comic strip and our own Netherlands resident Kane talks wooden shoes and sticking your finger in a dyke and we even let him take a bathroom break as we discuss our least favourite jobs.
We finish with the best James joke yet wonder how we are still able to get the podcast published with the jokes he shares.
This week we watched Ox Tales Episodes 3 and 4 'Emergency Vet' and 'Holy Moley'.

Freakazoid! S02E07
This weeks episode of By the Power is presented by Steven Spielberg! or at least the cartoon we are covering is..
Freakazoid is a zany cartoon made by the guy who did batman and the folks behind Animaniacs so its no real suprise that its insane with a little touch of a dark side.
And that description also fits the BTP squad pretty well.
Join us this episode for our regular features, our irregular features and if you sent us an email to see if that was featured.

The Pawpaw Bears S02E05
Its teeny tiny Bear time in a cartoon this week that many have probably forgotten ever existed.
But not James he never forgets! so bear with us as we wonder what on earth he was thinking, and paws for thought to contemplate a James theory!
We try to identify a quote in the stunning podcast quiz taking the world by storm "whose line was it anyway?" and chat about a deep and insightful would you rather.
As always we of course rate and discuss the episode we watched witch was from Series one and its Episode one:-
"Stupid tiny bears that are slightly racist do stuff for 20 minutes which is way too long and it makes no sense and god its bad. who chose this cartoon anyway?"
or its official title "The big spill".

The Transformers! The Trans-Formers.. Transformers.. Robots in disguise.
In a rather Highbrow episode that's more than meets the eye we chat about everyones favourite bots, the tension Ratchets up a notch in another guess the quote quiz and it's Red Alert time when it comes to making up Transformers jokes.
For a Mega(tron) 'would you rather' we ask which is better metal or flesh and blood.

Hey Arnold! S02E03
"Coo Coo Ka Choo" possibly goes down as one of the funniest ever punchlines! Jamie discusses this joke and explains the deep storytelling behind this weeks Cartoon 'Hey Arnold!' episode 'The Pigeon Man'.
Yes its another cartoon involving pigeons! this time chosen by Kane who scores the Episode VERY highly, and he also notices a flaw in James' plan to communicate with his fellow humans..
Yes thats right James is back and so are the rest of the squad with all our (slightly rusty after the enforced break) nonsense, a 'Would you Rather', another award winning episode of our game show 'who's line is it' and we end the episode with possibly the funniest joke I have ever heard.

The Raggy Dolls S02E02
The Raggy Dolls! This week an awkward group of misfits and weirdos who get rejected for being different talk about this classic British cartoon starring some weird dolls.
Jamie picked an episode starring a Pigeon, Stu can talk to Pigeons and based on next weeks cartoon choice Kane may be a Pigeon Fancier.
After discussing the cartoon rather briefly, the boys invent a new type of doll, pitch some game show ideas and choose their preferred host who continues to ignore them on twitter..
And our Season 2 features make another show stopping appearance including the funniest joke James has ever told.
This week we watched 'The Raggy Dolls' Season 1 Episode 3 'The Pigeon Race'.

Centurions S02E01
The BTP squad have made it to a second season.. Expect a more mature serious show that takes an intellectual look at 80's animated media.
In this Powerfully Extreme 'Centurions' episode we talk about an absolutely classic cartoon and toy combo, have a brand new feature or two, rate the episode 'Cyborg Centurion' and discuss Northern Sheep, peeing on ourselves and how James would be fine with wearing one pair of Underwear a week.
So not so serious really as we quickly devolve into more of our patented nonsense and mickey taking that we have become "famous" for.
The episode we watched and Rated was S01E51 of Centurions 'Cyborg Centurion'

Bonus Episode - Warhammer 40k Cartoon, What If?
It's a Bonus 'By the Power' Episode.
Games Workshop are getting into animation and its about time!
We ask if instead of Warhammer+ which launches August 2021 what if they had released a cartoon in the 80's!
Would da Ork Boyz be da Stars an show us Umies wot dey got? Jamie a huge Ork fan gives us his pitch.
James has dreams of a Brave group of Space Marines saving the day but becoming tainted by Chaos (James assumes everything is tainted by Chaos eventually I think?).
Kane thinks a Blackstone fortress would make a great setting, with a band of adventurers trying to find some mysterious artifacts.

Bonus Episode - Masters of the Universe: Revelation
Its Holiday time for the BTP power squad, but we couldn't resist doing a little 'work' by taking a look at Kevin Smith's He-Man continuation 'MOTU: Revelation".
Stu dials in from the Beach and Kane is hiding out in the cupboard while the house party takes place just outside.
