About this episode
🎄 Hang on to your hats as we blast back to 1987 to revisit the Filmation space western BraveStarr and its dickens of a backstory. **** 🎙 Guests: Joey O. ( Y-Not Radio , Words With Nerds , @ImGonnaDJ24 ). Sammy Hain ( @SammyHain ). **** 💬 Topics & Tangents: 1. The official BraveStarr YouTube channel . 2. The Fisher-Price Western Town I used as a backdrop for the much larger Bravestarr action figure. 3. Joey’s interview with Pat Fraley (Marshal BraveStarr). 4. This episode uses flashback scenes from the movie BraveStarr: The Legend , which explains why the animation quality isn’t consistent. 5. Young Tex Hex looks like a purple Faker from He-Man. 6. Stampede , the show’s even bigger bad, grants Tex Hex the power of transformation, because Filmation really wanted to teach kids that things that transform are evil. 7. The “present-day” husband of Tex’s former love, Ursula, looks like Fred Ward . 8. The time BraveStarr found a kid dead of a drug overdose . **** 📼 Retro Commercial Break: • Marshal BraveStarr, Tex Hex, and Neutralaser Toy Commercial , 1986. **** 🎤 And Now, These Messages: Christmas Time in the City . “BraveStarr” and “Tex’s Terrible Night” ©1987 Filmation Associates.
