It’s here! Kick off your weekend with our third Patreon bonus show!

This month, we’re taking a deep dive into the new Ghostbusters teaser trailer and talking about what WE want out of the film. (Just a warning -- we do touch upon some casting rumors, so if you’re avoiding any/all info for now, skip ahead to the 11 minute mark.)

We also field a few more of your questions about old toys and video games.

Hope you enjoy the bonus show and thanks as always for supporting us on Patreon! We’re diving right into our next big episode, which’ll drop next week! Feel free to leave us a comment about whatever's on your mind.

Literally perfect timing! Just about to do about an hour's worth of dishes lol, and this will be my sound track

Over December, I watched some old family Christmas videos. On the VHS tape from 1991, I asked my cousin Ryan (who was around 8) what he got for Christmas the year before. He went through a bunch of gifts and then said "And from my Dad I got the Technodrome." I said, "Because every kid needs a Technodrome." Ryan nodded. For almost 30 years, I have had no idea what a Technodrome was. Today, after listening to this episode, I do. Thank you, Purple Stuff Podcast!

After listening to this episode, we are all reminded that Matt still needs to watch Stranger Things:) I highly recommend!! Considering that a new season is approaching later this year, a Stranger Things episode of the Purple Stuff Podcast would be amazing!! No pressure😉

I think it was cool to talk Ghostbusters and do Q&A. I don’t think you have to limit bonus shows to just Q&A. Talking about hot topics like the GB news (or whatever is happening at the time) and then fielding some fan questions seems to me like a perfect formula for every bonus show. I loved it 👍🏻

Nice bonus, boss! Just what January needed! One of the most underrated toys of the glorious 90s has got to be Zbots from Micro machines. The vividly colored robo warriors were sold in 3 packs and were bestowed names like Rayzor, Kleenon, Nekgripper, Krobarr, and Nyfe (though we never called them by those names). They had awesome vehicle and playsets sold separately. Honorable mention to Mighty Max, as well hehehe ;)

So I was around 10 or so when those dick Tracy guys were coming out. I had all of them but couldn’t find The Blank anywhere. So I wrote Playmates a letter and asked where I could find it. They actually wrote me back and said that they were holding back the production of the figure because they didn’t want to spoil the ending of the movie and that, because of this, they realized that the toy line wasn’t doing well and decided not to produce the figure. I was crushed and I cried, like body wracking sobbing, for at least an hour.

I like it that you two don't talk about videogames, quite honestly. It's refreshing. My favorite short lived (rare?) action figure line was these Wizard of Oz action figures mom got when my dance studio did a Wizard of Oz themed recital.

Didn't know about the Q&A. I've got one for you guys...As a girl in the 80s...love hearing your thoughts on all the male related things, but my question is as a boy in the 80s, what was/is your favorite girl toy that you wished you had?
