The Ben 10 Podcast That Nobody Asked For

“I think maybe me and James are just sad.” Oh wow, an extra big episode just for you, aren’t you lucky. In an attempt to make sure they get enough sleep to remain functional human beings, a decision was made for the team to speedrun their discussions for episodes 7-10. They forgot about this halfway through, but Nat still insisted on editing together four discussions into one episode because…. You...

“Why do the writers keep making me miserable, Sam?” Look, I’m gonna level with you guys here. I forgot to write a description for this one. I know, I know, you’re all probably sitting there thinking, “How could you let us down in such a way? We rely on your succinct and witty episode descriptions to prepare us for the scintillating 18-33 minutes ahead of us!” All I can say is that I’m sorry and I...

“If you plug that any harder, you’re gonna give yourself an electric shock.” After a brisk 200-metre walk to pick up their food, followed by the eating of said food, your pals find themselves reinvigorated and ready to keep talking about a whole bunch of stuff (sometimes even Ben 10 ). The debate on how Ben’s clothes work starts to pick up speed, and we get a frank reminder that these podcasters k...

“Is he xenophobic, or is he just a misunderstood funny guy?” Dinner has been decided, it will be burgers. Meanwhile, things start to blur together for the boys as the night goes on. This is not helped the business of ordering dinner distract our heroes from watching an episode, followed by the most internally inconsistent episode of the series yet. Also, Nat and Sam keep saying “Green Zenith” inst...

“It’s the Worf paradox, conundrum, effect, thingy.” - As they finish season 1, the fools look back upon the last seven hours and, after a leson on Star Trek -born terminology, musing civilian casualties, and a brief ranking of episodes, the discussion moves onto more important matters, such as what they’re going to eat. Also, James has to explain the phrase “give them their flowers” because Nat an...

“I’m really worried James might be getting kind of close to copyright infringement” - The fatigue begins to set in, as Ben 10 introduces its in-universe equivalent to the British Museum, James takes a go at being punny, and Grey Matter officially overtakes Ripjaws in number of appearances, leading to Bailey’s departure, while those left start pondering what to get for dinner. Also, Sam’s world is...

“Dave, Tony, Tony? Todd? PETER!” -  Nat’s first episode of Ben 10 prompts a trip down memory lane before he gets angry about fingers, the fellas fantasize about a world in which Wildmutt is useful for once, and the reality of how they’ve chosen to spend their weekend begins to set in.  Season 1,  Episodes 9 & 10,  The Last Laugh & Lucky Girl Hosted on Acast. See acast.c...

"As you know, the neck is the entrance to the rest of the body." - Battle lines are drawn as Sam and Bailey take firm stands on which of Ben's aliens is best. Meanwhile the crew debate the logistics of human/robot merging in a science-fiction show made for children, Nat starts talking about taxes he almost definitely knows nothing about, James forgets Heatblast's name. - Season 1, Episodes 7 &...

“Sam is the blonde one” - A milestone episode here, our first “Transformation Count”, exciting stuff! Billy West receives some praise, Nat remembers he set up an email address in the previous episode, and the lads welcome a fourth grown man with nothing better to do causing friction regarding favourite aliens. Also no one in the room can do math. - Season 1, Episodes 5 & 6, Hunted & Touris...

“We are not biologists” - The boys become momentarily distracted by the different Stinkflies you can find on the internet, bring up Invasion of the Body Snatchers twice, and Sam decides to make himself official keeper of alien appearance stats (a job that he will definitely never be frustrated by). Also, keep your ears peeled for Nat saying something that a total of zero other people in the room c...

"I was a big Ben 10 head" - Our trio have certainly picked a lovely day to begin their weekend of watching a cartoon. Join them as they take a trek down memory road, reminiscing on their earliest Ben 10 memories before they begin baselessly speculating on things that they know absolutely nothing about such as animation production pipelines and the intricacies of toy sales, before discussing the fl...
