About
Everyone knows Wonder Woman in some sense these days, but not many people know about her affinity for apes. Until now! Van introduces Brian and Spencer to the ’70s TV iteration of the famous hero and explains some of the progressive ideals behind the character.
This week, Wonder Woman is tasked not only with battling a group of 1940s nazis, but fending off their attack gorilla Gargantua. Will Wonder Woman ultimately be felled by Gargantua, or will she make a new furry friend?
The guys have fun talking about ape costumes, Gargantua’s perhaps ironic name, and the show’s rather adorable flight scenes.
Highlights
-“Spoons in the stew”
-Smitten by an ape
-The “Gargantua Spot”

About
Having dispatched that damn dirty ape, Wonder Woman has a much different opponent on this week’s episode of Wonder Woman. It’s Martin Mull! Well, technically it’s Hamlin Rule, a groovy dude with a chip on his shoulder and a tune in his heart. It’s a tune that someone else wrote, but it’s still there.
Rule figured out how to use his flute to brainwash people (much like many musicians of the era), and he makes his primary task robbing convert venues to recoup money he feels the music industry took from him. (Respect.) When Rule enlists Wonder Woman’s coworker to help with his scam, the hero has no choice but to take him down.
The BTBs laud Mull’s goofball performance before Van initiates another round of Boob Tube Hot Potato by giving Brian a show he finds quite loathsome.
Highlights
-Martin Mull has the time of his life
-Brian loves big, dumb henchmen
-“Love Conquers All,” guys
