Return To The Past: A Code Lyoko Retrospective

For our season one finale, we've pulled out all the stops: Dangan Ronpa references, raging debates about Hufflepuff House, and the feasibility of making Jim and Principal Delmas lookalikes kiss each other in Dream Daddy. Which brings us to this thing called Code Lyoko! Have you heard of it? It's pretty neato. We actually talk about it a little, too. Aelita's here, Kankrelats are running amok in 2D meatspace, and Mary and David just can't seem to stop making out! We're rounding out the season in a cavalcade of cuteness, excitement, and spirited discussion. So give us your clicks and let the good times roll! ==== We're calling on all our listeners to provide as much assistance as they can to disaster-affected areas!

There's a new showrunner in town, and Madame S is NOT fooling around when it comes to spinning continuity out of, well, you've seen what this show's been like so far! It's the dawn of a new era left and right - you can't trip on the sidewalk in this one without falling on a status quo change! Join Mary, David, and Ben as they flip out and get super excited about Aelita because there's SO much good to come now that she's out in two dimensions!  (We also make fun of the way Yumi's dad eats noodles and establish some rules for Ben's dating prospects.)  ==== We're calling on all our listeners to provide as much assistance as they can to disaster-affected areas!

The jury's still out on whether this is the best episode of the series, but boy is it a rich vein what we tap here. It's a killer premise, a killer execution, and an amazing (and unfortunately unique) look into the mind and motivations of a villain who almost never gives up those secrets. It's bold. It's brash. It certainly does NOT belong in the trash! AND NOT ONLY THAT, but we have done it. We have made up for our past transgressions and crammed MANY, SO MANY Spongebob, Homestuck, and even Homestar references into this one. You will be FLOORED at the sheer EXTENT of our pop culture savvy and also how absolutely ADORABLE we all are. (We would totally be talking about Hiveswap except we recorded this a week ago. WATCH THIS SPACE.) Also Mary forgot to switch Audacity to pick up her mic so her audio quality is not the best again. Sorry! ==== We're calling on all our listeners to provide as much assistance as they can to disaster-affected areas! Click here to find CharityNavigator's recommendations for relief do

The hosts of Going Digital, a Digimon recap podcast, join us for double the digital cartoon nonsense. Would Ty and his pals make good Lyoko Warriors? Could Ulrich beat up a Charmandler (that's a Digimon, right)? These, and many other exciting questions, will not be addressed in the slightest. Join Sporky, Garrett, and Davide - as well as the usual gang of jokers: Mary, Ben, and David (no e) - as we talk crap about one of the lamest episodes of Code Lyoko so far. Possibly ever. Yay! It's a cavalcade of ambiguous plotting, recycled animation, phoned-in voice acting, and for the first time ever, racism as the show introduces a new black character and immediately has her commit a crime. (Hey, the world wasn't always the post-racial utopia we li

Yoo hoo, it's us!  Here it is, folks. The Big One. The Smooch That Never Was. The moment you've all been waiting for and continue to wait for as you silently curse Aelita for cutting it off. Join Mary, David, and Ben as they navigate the wild and wacky waters of time travel fatigue and the sweet sauce of heavy handed teen drama, distilled here into its purest, reddest form. And also talk about the usual nonsense like monkey chauffeurs and edit wars with the X-Files fandom. Questions? Comments? Email us at rttppodcast@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter at @rttppodcast.

Nobody knows where the Crotch Thrust Kid came from. Some say we never will. But when there's a soccer game that needs cheering, or a purple shirt that needs wearing, he'll be there, ready to move. We, too, are ready to go, as we've finally reached the point in the show when the episodes are reliably good (at least until Cartoon Network starts calling the shots, but we'll get there when we get there). In addition to pelvic thrusts, this RTTP episode features amputated toes, Sass Queen Aelita, and 200% more cats. We also make a couple of important announcements! Questions? Comments?

Welcome back to the Rec Room! Every ten episodes, we take a break from recapping the show to talk turkey about the fandom/culture around it (as you would know if you'd been paying attention. This'll be on the quiz). In this episode, we review two Code Lyoko YouTube gems: the infamous (though possibly to nobody but us) Movie Quote Dub and the review by renowned cringelord Pan Pizza. We're also addressing one of our listeners' questions: if we could reboot the show, what would we do differently? Also featured: awkwardly trying to remember things from Xiaolin Showdown, Ben plugging yet another adorable fanfic, and finding ways to make the show gayer than it ever was.

We're sorry to disappoint you guys, but in this episode we do not, in fact, make a SpongeBob reference. (We make Fairly Oddparents and Teenage Robot references instead.) Oh, and speaking of robots, that's what this week's Lyoko is about! And for your humble hosts, it's probably the most divisive episode so far... Click here to see the screencap we mentioned.

Ooh la la! Things get hot and heavy in this week's episode, as Jeremie and Aelita have the steamiest encounter the TV-Y7-FV rating allows! (It involves floating in the abstract vacuum of the digital void and touching fingers and stuff.) Join us yet again as we serenade your ear holes with 100% in-series color commentary on enemas. We also fawn over aquatic sloths (they were real; look them up), and completely lose our heads over Ulrich and Sissi's 'down payment.' Questions? Comments?

NOTE: There will be no new episode this Friday, as we are all taking a bit of a break. Tune in the Friday after for Killer Music! If your longtime crush had suddenly lost his memory and you were responsible for his care, what would YOU think is the right thing to do? If your answer is "take this awesome opportunity to make him mine", then congratulations, you've followed Sissi's line of logic. Join Mary, David and Ben as we try to make sense of this show's again tenuous grip on realistic science - and have a bit of fun along the way.

The Super Nuclear team is proud to introduce their very first, very special guest: yet another person you've never heard of! Join Mary, Ben, David, and for the first time ever, Shawn (a long-time friend of the show and relative Code Lyoko novice) as they discuss pink French toilet paper, wonder whether XANA vapes, and make Simpsons references that were old when Code Lyoko was new. Our spirits are high and (judging by our featured episode's animation) the budget is low, so go ahead and give us a listen (and maybe throw a couple bucks our way)!

In this episode, Mrs. Hertz gets high and gives her students dangerous misinformation, so you know you're in for a good time! (That, itself, is dangerous misinformation.)

Today's episode is The Trap, and though your humble hosts had quite frankly forgotten it even existed, it's left us feeling quite emotional!  Join us as David waxes nostalgic about his first crush (she's a triceratops), Ben shamelessly plugs Echoes of Echoes: Finding William Dunbar some more, and Mary makes Admiral Ackbar jokes so you don't have to.

In this episode, Xana launches his most vague attack yet, many of the show's most famous plot devices make their second-ever appearance, and... Well, the title says it all. Also featured: your hosts making ridiculous trumpet noises, a hilarious voice acting snafu, and a delightful anecdote about the time David out-FN@F'd a bunch of fifth graders.

In this episode, the Lyoko Warriors learn what Ben (and superstar actor Nicolas Cage) have known all along: bees are bad news. We'd torch the whole lot of 'em, if they weren't a crucial part of the ecosystem on which we all depend. Crafty beasts. Also featured: weird tangents about clowns and Sonic the Hedgehog. But we assume you all know what you're getting into by now. Apologies for the sound quality in this episode! Both Ben and Mary need to be more disciplined about turning their external microphones on. Ben, specifically, in this instance.  Questions? Comments? Email us at rttppodcast@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter at @rttppodcast. Cover art by the very skilled Ingram!

As we all know, the Parisian sewers are full of rats. But watch out! When XANA takes the wheel, these rats would much sooner eat our animated friends alive than yank on their hair and turn them into world-class chefs.

There's a new student at Kadic, and one of the Warriors is head-over-heels for her! Amazingly, she's NOT an American exchange student. That's right, it's time to get to know Taelia, aka the face that launched a thousand theories! Join us yet again as we discuss one of the most notorious episodes of season one! Also featured: Jim/Kiwi fanfics, the possibility that at least one of the Warriors is a millionaire, and the kind of secondhand cringe that would make Pan Pizza blush.

You guys may not remember this, but once upon a time, having your cell phone taken away seemed like perfectly legitimate grounds for a student protest. Meanwhile, Pick on Yumi Week reaches its peak as XANA tries to nuke her from space.
