Part
of an ongoing series – the Needless Things Irregulars gather in the
Phantom Zone to provide their own unique commentary on classic genre
films!
This month’s movie is the 1987 animated feature, GI Joe: The Movie. The Irregulars are joined by special guest Noel from GI Joe cosplay group The Finest’s Southern Command.
Thirty
years ago Hasbro planned to release an animated theatrical GI
Joe
feature, but those plans were derailed by the failure of similar
Transformers
and My
Little Pony
releases. The feature – which had completed production – was
instead moved to a VHS release and eventually made part of the
regular animated series’ syndication as a standard five-part
miniseries.
Over
the years many elements of the feature have come under fire, from
character selection to continuity to the introduction of the
feature’s villains, Cobra-La.
Listen
in as Dave, Arian, Ryan, and Noel revisit this landmark in GI Joe
history to discuss its worthiness!
