    Yo Joe! Or should we say… Action Force is on the attack! This week we dive into one of the biggest toy-toon franchises of the 1980s – G.I. Joe and its UK counterpart Action Force.

    🧸 The Dangerous Deep Dive – the history of G.I. Joe, the legendary toy line, why it became Action Force in the UK, cast & characters, and a detailed look at the Top 10 episodes.
    🥊 Retro Rumble – pitting the Joes against another 80s cartoon giant.
    📺 Back in the Ads – those epic toy commercials that made us beg our parents for the H.I.S.S. Tank or the USS Flagg.
    💎 Dangerously Underrated – a forgotten gem of an episode that deserves more love.
    🌟 One Season Wonder – we spotlight Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light, another short-lived Hasbro favourite.
    ⚖️ Better Than / Worse Than – how G.I. Joe stacks up against its 80s contemporaries.

    It’s nostalgia, lasers, ninjas, and enough explosions to level Cobra HQ – so strap in for a retro mission with us!
