The Aquaboy Podcast

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboys end another year of broadcast excellence with an episode for the ages!!   We return to the medieval realm of Aperans, for yet another blissful romp through Wizards and Warriors.  We stop down and take a moment of valuable airtime to celebrate the life of one of our own.  We take a deep insightful dive into the world of furry culture.  All that AND about as much sacril...

Send us Fan Mail 50% of the professional broadcasters on the Aquaboy Podcast display their unending dedication to the show by (once again) watching the wrong episode.   I mean seriously, how is that even possible?  Maybe they couldn't find time to get it right in the two full months since we recorded last?  As a result, their mistake makes an already painful watch even more confusing and hard...

Send us Fan Mail Big news!  All four Aquaboys actually watched the right episode this time.  No spoilers, but 75% of the show is 100% in love with Wizards and Warriors.  No amount of outlandish haircuts, zero exposition, colossal plot holes, painful dialog or abundant grooming can keep us from having a great time watching this show.   Wizards and Warriors is an American comedy adventure fantasy se...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboys celebrate their first remote broadcast!  Sort-of.  We set up shop in the luxury accommodations of ‘studio-west’ and try our hardest to dissect this puzzling-bit of 80’s television.   ‘Wizards and Warriors’ isn’t at all what we were expecting, but that isn’t necessarily a good thing.  Nobody expected it to be a comedy - - and after episode 1, I think we all wish it was...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboys can’t put their finger on it, but something just isn’t right with “The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.”.  Its not that it’s a bad show…Bruce Campbell is amazing as always, the sci-fi element is interesting, and the writing is pretty great.   For whatever reason it just doesn’t land.  But with some very intense lobbying by Jason and Tony, will it get renewed?   We sha...

Send us Fan Mail It’s clear Cop Rock fatigue is starting to set in.  The Aquaboys spend the better part of this episode trying to find other things to talk about besides the obvious.  Which is strange considering the ‘Baby Merchant’ episode is arguably the most famous of the failed series.  Pushing the envelope of tonal whiplash, this episode frolics effortlessly between topics like child traffick...

Send us Fan Mail The unofficial 5th Aquaboy, Special Correspondent Lane, helps our heroes deftly navigate yet another episode of the directionless (and some would argue pointless) Cop Rock.  The show continues to bewilder our even basic understanding of a police procedural drama.  From a plastic surgery fever dream to mud wrestling marital problems, this episode has it all.  (and we haven’t even m...

Send us Fan Mail Summoning all their combined bravery, courage and subtle attractiveness, the Aquaboys tackle the second episode of the Hinderberg-like police procedural / musical Cop Rock!  The second episode manages to shed just about everything that made the first episode at least palatable.  But lucky for us, it keeps the lack-luster music, unengaging characters and wildly uneven tone.    It’s...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboys finally reunite after a lengthy hiatus to talk about this incredible piece of television failure.  We actually recorded a Cop Rock episode the last week of October 2021, but it was cut short due to Brian coughing up blood (no really.)  Then shortly thereafter, another show was scrapped because Jason got Covid.  On top of all that, just before this recording the Aquaba...

Send us Fan Mail Our attempted recordings of Cop Rock are almost as confusing as the show itself.   Our first attempt to record a Cop Rock episode was cut short, so this episode ends rather abruptly.   But unlike our second attempt to review Cop Rock (Episode 27), this recording contains quite a bit more about the show itself.  (Like you even care)  Cop Rock is an American police procedural musica...

Send us Fan Mail What do the Bee Gees,  Las Vegas, sexually deviant cursers and Aretha Franklin have in common?   Hard to say - - but if you found that question confusing then you are in for a hell of a ride with this episode, my friend.  Episode 2 of Automan (not ottoman)  continues to confound the Aquaboys with plot-specific super powers, meandering logic and remarkable amounts of filler.   So y...

Send us Fan Mail What is Automan?  A hologram? Sentient AI? Piece of furniture?  The Aquaboys dig deep into this curious piece of early 80’s sci-fi television.  Does it really end up being as big of a Tron rip-off as it seems?  Well, yes.  But it does have some (ok, a few) interesting ideas, a hilariously over-complicated bad guy plan, talking streetlights and cold-blooded holographic murder.   Wh...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboys keep venturing further in the dark and slightly confusing world of this unquestionably classic series.   Episode 3 pours on the noir as we watch a scrappy reporter/detective try to uncover the true identify of our hero.   This episode still leaves the Aquaboys with plenty more questions than answers - - What are his powers exactly?  How does one hand-out mob justice ?...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboys are in love with The Flash.  Wanna know how you can tell?  Episode 2 of this totally wronged series is 30 minutes shorter than the premier, yet we still manage to go over 2 hours (again) consuming every last second of greatness.   We wander here and there -- tackling topics around Flashes actual speed, how to ethically euthanize toads and if The Hulk can properly hang...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboy’s don’t care how fast ‘The Flash’ claims to be…we take our sweet time relishing every detail about this extraordinary show.  Sure there are a couple missteps here and there, but overall this might be the highest quality and most-wronged-by-the-network television show we’ve reviewed thus far.  Yes, we get it…the episode is long even by our standards, but its so worth it...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboy’s celebrate their 1st anniversary by tackling their second movie-into-TV series.  But trust us..Ferris Bueller is no Blue Thunder.  This mean-spirited and uninspired hunk of shit might be our toughest conquest yet.  What a slap in the face to John Hughes.  But you never know….this series might get hate-renewed just because the Aquaboys are so unpleasant to each other. ...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboys continue through Homeboys in Outer Space, and it quickly starts to feel like real work.  Even with a couple funny lines here or there, we quickly succumb to the crushing torture that is this show.  Not even a blissful celebration of 4/20 can keep our spirits up.   Homeboys in Outer Space is an American science fiction/fantasy sitcom that aired on UPN from August 27, 1...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboys make their first trip to the stars and explore the unmitigated disaster of Homeboys in Outer Space.  This marvelous piece of UPN time-slot filler takes huge swings time after time and consistently misses at a level that’s nearly impossible to comprehend.  Too bad that we absolutely love it!  Come for a walk-through of this legendary piece of TV embarrassment, and stay...

Send us Fan Mail By the grace of the TV gods, Blue Thunder was somehow renewed, much to the chagrin of most of the Aquaboys.   And boy-o-boy are we glad we hung around for Episode 3.  This episode has it all….a flamboyant arms dealer, a fascinating weight-loss subplot, gigantic drones with equally gigantic controls, oddly timed feats of strength, wing-walking, sharp-shooting, spider mating rituals...

Send us Fan Mail All the Aquaboys (except for Brian) begrudgingly watch episode two of Blue Thunder.  Nobody (except for Brian) expected to have as much fun as we did watching this paint-by-numbers man-and-machine 80’s garbage.   While this episode didn’t feature the greatness of PVC, it did feature a bunch of heavily armed redneck racist bubbas who are attempting to overthrow the government.  Who...

Send us Fan Mail Team Aquaboy assembles to tackle another man and machine show from the 80’s.  After a bumpy premier episode, try as it might, Blue Thunder the TV show doesn’t live up to the standards set by Blue Thunder the movie.  Not even the most legendary of character actors like Richard Lynch, Bubba Smith, Dick Butkus, and Dana Carvey can save this show from poor execution and a down-right p...

Send us Fan Mail The Aquaboys assemble to broadcast live from the driveway at Aquaboy Studios, offering up our first pocket-sized episode.   This episode we celebrate the year that was 2020 by discussing our favorite shows, movies, comics, and music from the year.    But first, we tackle how to properly address gypsies, tragedy befalls Tony and advances in menstruation technology!   

Send us Fan Mail Not to worry listener, this time we for sure jump right into discussing the episode.  Well…sorta.   First we clear up some shower thoughts that wander from back hair dreadlocks to Mexican buffet based emotional support.  Not to mention spending a considerable amount of time breaking down the ins and outs of at-home waxing.    Do we choose to continue Freaks and Geeks ?   Listen an...

Send us Fan Mail Damn you, Covid!!!   In what seems like ages since we last recorded due to pandemic related scheduling difficulties, we are finally able to get together to talk about Episode 3 of Freaks and Geeks.   And in keeping with the tradition (?) of not talking about unbelievably good television, we instead spend way too much time reliving traumatic childhood experiences, discussing pre-te...

Send us Fan Mail Once again,  we need to be very clear,  Freaks and Geeks is a phenomenal show.    The Aquaboy podcast is supposed to be about highlighting and reviewing examples of great TV just like this.  However, for a second show in a row things like horrible personal tragedy, abbreviations, and virginity time-line confusion distract us from actually  talking about the show.   Prepare yoursel...
