The show everyone is calling TATDMU returns with new co-host Gary Hedges! This week our trip down someone else’s memory lane takes us the 1984 car tuning anime Mecha Doc and the 1991 robot police anime Armoured Police Metal Jack.
Plus: Brian gets the lead of dreadful sitcom Bottle Boys wrong, something he realised immediately after recording and has haunted him ever since. Sure he could have edited it out, but better to use it to go off on a weird tangent in the show notes.
