Amazingly, Monday's episode will be our 100th! I can scarcely believe it. The lovely Joe Ford @docoho44.bsky.social will be joining the podcast to discuss an absolute classic.

There have been other encounters with musical creatures on the podcast, though few have been as badly animated as 'Carnage in C Minor'...

Robots In Your Eyes @robotsinyoureyes.bsky.social · 16d

✨New episode!✨

In the 31st century, we encounter some very slow moving threats, real pirates (seriously, hook-hand and everything!) and No-no gets his ears turned off. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to see where that singing is coming from....

Of course this take on Jack and the Beanstalk is far from the only time a cartoon series has beaten a well-known story to fit the series's premise. Take this example from Transformers, that ever-so-subtly riffs on the tale of Frankenstein....

Still time to catch up with @jasonjtt.bsky.social and @quarkmcmalus.bsky.social discussing classic 90s cartoon James Bond Jr before a new episode drops on Monday.

Robots In Your Eyes @robotsinyoureyes.bsky.social · Sep 15

✨New episode!✨

@quarkmcmalus.bsky.social returns to discuss the antics of James Bond's nephew. Who's letting IQ loose with all this tech? Who thought 'SCUM' was a good name for a crime syndicate? And just what is the question no-one really wants to ask?

Robots In Your Eyes @robotsinyoureyes.bsky.social · Sep 1

✨New episode!✨

We're back in the magic realms of Dungeons and Dragons, and still trying to get home. We're flummoxed by the rules of magic, bemused by convertible spaceships, and why does one episode remind Jason of a Doctor Who story?
