🎙️ The Insanely Dangerous Retro Podshow – Season 7, Episode 12: G.I. Joe / Action Force
Yo Joe! Or should we say… Action Force is on the attack! This week we dive into one of the biggest toy-toon franchises of the 1980s – G.I. Joe and its UK counterpart Action Force. From Cobra Commander’s shrill schemes to Snake Eyes’ ninja coolness, this was the cartoon that defined Saturday morning action for a generation.
In this episode we cover: 🎵 What Happened Way Back When – the movies, music, and TV shows of 1983 with fun facts galore. 🧸 The Dangerous Deep Dive – the history of G.I. Joe, the legendary toy line, why it became Action Force in the UK, cast & characters, and a detailed look at the Top 10 episodes. 🥊 Retro Rumble – pitting the Joes against another 80s cartoon giant. 📺 Back in the Ads – those epic toy commercials that made us beg our parents for the H.I.S.S. Tank or the USS Flagg. 💎 Dangerously Underrated – a forgotten gem of an episode that deserves more love. 🌟 One Season Wonder – we spotlight Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, another short-lived Hasbro favourite. ⚖️ Better Than / Worse Than – how G.I. Joe stacks up against its 80s contemporaries.
It’s nostalgia, lasers, ninjas, and enough explosions to level Cobra HQ – so strap in for a retro mission with us!
Next week: we slide into the 90s cult sci-fi world of Sliders.
