“Let's be honest, M.A.S.K. is not one of the 80's best animated shows. There were many toy-etic shows created for the purpose of selling merchandise, but they were well-produced and became something more: GI Joe, Transformers, ThunderCats, etc. But MASK lacks a lot of the creative care behind those other cartoons and it comes off as a spectacle for showcasing the vehicles, which were very cool toys. So watching the show grows tiring as an adult, but the hosts of the podcast from the GCRN do a great job. We have the wonderful team of TFG1 Mike and Kevin Optimus Solo as hosts. They hosted GCRN's podcast, ToonCast and they play very well off of each other, providing opinions and insights that take an in-depth look at the plots, characters, and special moments throughout for each episode. The highlights are cleverly called, "high beams" while the lowlights are called, "low beams". But the show comes down to two guys just sitting around discussing the shows, a style that the GCRN does so well. As a listener I feel engaged in the discussion and I want to be involved, wishing I could talk to them in real-time as I listen.”
