This week, the Time Pals celebrate our first year as a geek dad team—just in time for our month-long summer break (and, regrettably, to give Underscore a reprieve from producing our unique brand of chaos).
From questions born of an ADHD mind, to AI-generated improv adventure stories, cruelly forgotten movie and video game gems, and an array of awesome guest hosts, the Time Pals look back on their favorite moments (and arguments!)—and ponder just how much nerdier we can get for the rest of the year.

A fun and goofy episode? Probably.
A self-serving, cheap, quick-hit? You betcha!

This week, the Time Pals bring their flashlights and emotional support wine as they dig up the creepiest, weirdest, and most nightmare-inducing moments from the kids' shows we grew up with.

Too scared to face it alone, hosts Mike Underscore and Jon Powell enlist their friends Angie and Becca from the Black Curtain Club Podcast to hold their hands as they explore scenes like Invader Zim tasting his own flesh baloney, Phantom 2040 introducing a family annihilator, Punky Brewster getting trapped in a horror movie, and many more surprisingly cursed Saturday morning cartoons.

Check out the Black Curtain Club Podcast everywhere you get your scary pods or check out their IG tag on this post.

The Time Pals celebrate Star Wars Day and the re-release of “Revenge of the Sith” by going on a dungeon adventure set in the Star Wars universe. This time your Pals attempt to break the artificial intelligence storyteller with a lightsaber to the gut and craft a completely original story that won’t at all resemble "The Book of Boba Fett" in meaningful any way.

So join us on a hilarious special episode and find out how a gray Jedi became Mistress of the Dark, how a Hutt lost an empire, and what it means to be "Too SWEEET".
