Bob and his Talking Simpsons/What A Cartoon co-host Henry Gilbert discuss the series' history and then the episode itself which turns out to be surprisingly humorous given that it was expressly created to sell toys.Įven though this podcast ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, I just wanted to reassure our listeners that we've got more episodes coming next week - there will be no winter break for Retronauts! Thank you for your continued support!ĭescription: It's the yuletide season, which means it's time to head to the Retronauts Holiday Cabin in Parts Unknown yet again for another look at a Christmas-related video game thing. This episode turned out to be the series finale as the eponymous Earthworm Jim (voiced by The Simpsons' Dan Castellaneta) must rescue Santa Claus from his enemy Queen Slug-for-a-Butt. What is this episode, though? It's our 10th annual holiday special dedicated to covering a piece of seasonal video game media, in this case the very special Christmas episode of the Earthworm Jim cartoon which ran from 1995 until 1996.

If you enjoy it, we hope you'll consider sending us $5 a month for two additional episodes just like it!
