“Be more creative.” -

That’s right! We delayed Monday’s episode so you’d get one on CHRISTMAS! The best gift of all, I’m sure. And it’s made even more special by the fact that we recorded it on June 7th, with absolutely no awareness that it would be released on the 25th of December, and therefore make no reference to Christmas AT ALL. Beat THAT, The Muppet Christmas Carol. -

“F**k you IMDb. We’re coming for ya.” -

Here we are, the end of Alien Force. Well, the end of the series anyway… We’ve got all your favourites. We’ve got episode ranking, we’ve got alien ranking, we’ve got a few random discussions that have nothing to do with Ben 10, AND IT ISN’T EVEN THE END OF OUR SEASON YET. That being said there will be a few weeks of hiatus between this and our closing episodes for this season, so stay tuned. -

Hey! Look at that! A new episode only (4, 5, 6…) ONLY 8 DAYS LATE. You’ll get what you get, when you get it, and you’ll be happy about it. Speaking of this episode, it’s a roller-coaster. Fun conversations about Ben 10 mixed with depressing conversations about war and religion. They also spend a not insubstantial amount of time quoting things significantly better than the podcast itself. -

Gwen is now allowed to wear trousers. Everybody is happy about this. Ben is a dick now. Nobody is happy about this. Sam is optimistic for an appearance by Wildmutt in the coming episodes. He is going to be disappointed. Joe remembers seeing the first Hobbit film in cinemas, causing Nat to nearly cry because of what they called those movies.

“This movie was good, like-OH! No, it wasn't, sorry, sorry.”

And day two is off to a rocky start as the crew watch the perplexing film. Ben 10: Alien Swarm. With the budget of 2005's Serenity, yet almost none of the charm, it almost sent our intrepid viewers right back to sleep.

Also, a quick audio quality warning for this one. While nowhere NEAR as bad as our atrocious season 1 finale, we do switch from our Audacity recording to a Zoom recording part way through, because I am not an audio engineer and did not know a better way to do it. Enjoy :)

"Stop f***ing sidetracking! The planet's about to be invaded!" -

It took a whole day, but the fellas finally reached the final chapter of the Highbreed Invasion. The question is, are they conscious enough to say anything interesting about it? -

“I remember when you were so proud and insistent on your ability to handle spicy foods that it ruined James’ evening.” -

In the first half of this episode, Albedo’s obsession with chilli cheese leads the boys to discuss their preferred greasy, cheesy, chilli snacks, and their experiences with such food. In the second part, those same boys are realising how much more they’re enjoying this second season than the first, before descending into a conversation on how much Alien Force has lived up to its promise of serialised storytelling. -

“They’re playing footsie.” -

Two “banging” episodes. In between, a couple of the fellas reminisce on their Twilight watching, Sam reminisces on watching The Thing (1982)… To be completely honest, the first half is essentially this podcast’s The Thing episode, So a great time for fans of The Thing. The second half is once again, a discussion about the actual show they’re watching (with them even referring back to the sacred show bible) for a few minutes at least. Hey! Here’s a fun game! Why don’t you count how many OTHER shows, films, and books we bring up, because we’ve lost track. -

“He’s lying. He lies to us. He lied to me and told me this would be fun, see? He’s a liar.” -

 Just over a quarter of the way through the weekend, and the show. Your buddies have reached what serves as the finale for the first season of Ben 10: Alien Force. So, it’s time of course for them to take a look back on the season as a whole for one of their world-famous ranked lists. But more important than that, THE SAUSIE ROLLS ARE DONE. -

“I just am not going into it because I don’t know fully what I’m talking about.” -

Guys, this is kind of insane. You probably won’t believe me when I tell you this, but they actually spend a decent amount of this episode ACTUALLY DISCUSSING Ben 10. It’s been a long time coming, but they finally managed it… for about half of it anyway. There’s also plenty of discussion about things that have nothing to do with Ben 10. Things like food... chromosomes... stuff. And Sam gets a chance to indulge in his specialty subject. -

“I have standards, that’s what I’m saying. I have standards.” -

Don’t panic. Despite the sounds Joe’s wrist made at the start, his hand is still attached. Anyway, did you want to know everyone’s favourite Pixar films? Yes? Well, you’re in luck! No? Well now my feelings are hurt. ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? Don’t worry, they still spend plenty of time arguing about fictional science in a children’s cartoon. (Hang around and you’ll learn the difference between pastiche and parody) -

"Damn, I wish I had money" -

Did you ever wonder what we think about Christchurch? Have you ever asked yourself, "Do these guys enjoys seeing the characters of Ben 10 be happy?" Have you ever wondered, "How on earth do these fellas keep track of how many days there are in each month?" Do you ever find yourself snapped back to reality by a thundering voice in your head asking, "Does New Zealand have any piers?" But most importantly, are you still kept up at night, tossing and turning in your bed, desperately wanting to know how Sam and Nat broke a window? All these questions (and maybe some more, I can't remember) will be answered on today's episode of The Ben 10 Podcast That Nobody Asked For. -

Hey look! Joe’s back! Just in time for your favourite podcasters to start discussing the finer points of animation (an artistic medium that, I will remind you once again, none of them have any experience in), as well as finding time to discuss the inspiration for Ben’s new roster of aliens. Between all this, James and Sam get super locked-in to a debate on the placement of Ghostfreak’s eye in Ben 10, awesome stuff. Also, James and Nat reminisce about The X-Files. -

At the same time Sam delivers handy tips to you dear listeners on updating your electronic devices, along with some fun facts about the Red Cross logo, and James decides to share his terrible taste in films. Another fun season of thoughtful analysis ahead. -

“We love chomp.”

What do you get when you make a near seventy-minute Ben 10 fight sequence? You get Ben 10: Destroy All Aliens, which is (if we’re being honest) bit of a boring movie. Maybe you could settle a little bet for us. What’s less interesting, someone talking about the teachers at their old school, or someone describing a comedian telling an anecdote? Whatever the answer, would be nice if you could hear any of it properly, but SOMEONE had to go and not make sure the program was recording to the microphone.

Also, everyone receives a lil gift.

"Yeah, but I can't appreciate it because I'm mad at you."

Was devoting an episode to nine shorts worth it? Probably not! But this way our first season is a nice and even thirty episodes. Also, BIG episode today for fans of listening to people watch videos of dogs.

"I was just very like, disorientated, and upset, and embarrassed... that was that story."

Oh wow, the FIRST Ben 10 live-action movie. A perfect opportunity to talk about movies and TV shows that are not Ben 10, to discuss actors, to drop personal lore... basically anything BUT talk about Race Against Time. Don't worry, they get round to it eventually. Boy this film is charming. It's also not great.

"He's just so annoying! He's so irritating."

While they wait for Sam to arrive, James, Bailey, Izzy and Nat catch up on what they've learned about Ben 10 in the last month and-a-half since watching Secret of the Omnitrix. Most important; Izzy took the opportunity to catch up on the first three seasons she missed out on over the weekend. Stay tuned to learn who Waybig was based off, who is obsessed with Gears of War, and who delved a bit too deep into the lore of a nearly twenty-year-old children's show.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

“What’s a ‘Lucky Girl’?”

And with that, our intrepid viewers have seen the final hand-animated “episode” of the original Ben 10 series. And what better way to look back at the last four seasons of animated greatness than with A TIER LIST BABY! If you were excited for an in-depth look at the animated film Ben 10: Secret of the Omnitrix, then you’re shit out of luck buddy, they talk about it for a total of like, five minutes, then get right on to arguing about fictional aliens.

Also, we receive our first email.

“Was Ponce de León Cool?”

Do you wanna hear about Ben 10? Well tough, we’re talking about the CW’s Arrowverse now. Maybe you’ll hear the odd tidbit hear and there about the show this podcast is named for, but they’ve got other things to talk about. For instance, they need to discuss very important things like spelling, real-world weddings, and handwriting, so be quiet and be happy with what you get. Also, Nat continues to be relegated to a simple person-who-listens-as-synopsis-is-read. But don’t worry, he’s taking it like a champ.

On top of that, the decision on what to get for dinner comes around once again, and is made quickly and (relatively) painlessly. But, where there is light, there must also be darkness. Where there is yin, there must be yang. It’s finally happened. After one cock-up too many, Nat gets replaced as ‘person-who-reads-synopses.

After that, they rank all the episodes of season 3, you guys know the drill, this is our third season finale now. You should all go the AMT's production of Evil Dead The Musical (closes 27th July).

“What do you mean, ‘Cannonbolt has cake’?“

HELL YEAH! GHOSTFREAK'S BACK! If you've missed our uneducated discussions about the animation process, then you will be pleasantly surprised by this one. On top of that we have all your old faves, Icarus, Cannonbolt, clothing discussions, etc. But with the old also comes the new, with the addition of sixth (oh boy, getting awfully crowded in here) viewer to the roster.

It also becomes clear to all involved that Ghostfreak needs better hiring standards.

“This is so far removed from Ben 10.”

A lot of dragging on inconsistencies and lazy story-telling in this one. Please don’t take it personally Ben 10, it all comes from a place of love. Have no fear though, your boys get very far off topic in part two of this episode when they start reminiscing about disappointing movies and arguing about what did and didn’t happen at school. (Fun fact: Nat’s wrong, but won’t realise it till a few weeks after recording)

On top of all that, learn how Joe was “roped into” a fun-filled weekend of podcasting.

Nat wasn't paying attention as much during one of these episodes because he was cleaning, but you'd hardly notice. After Sam and James spend too much time explaining all the inconsistencies that Nat didn't notice however, our three heroes finally get a well-deserved six hours of slee- SIX HOURS?! THEY ONLY GOT SIX HOURS OF SLEEP!? What psychopath was in charge of scheduling? But after that, all is right with the world, as some new blood arrives, and the fellas watch an absolute BANGER.

Iconic /ʌɪˈkɒnɪk/

adjective

1. relating to or of the nature of an icon; regarded as a representative symbol or as worthy of veneration.

2. Ghostfreak’s second design.

PLOT TWIST! Sam's starting to switch to team Ripjaws! Meanwhile, the discussion of Ben's apparel rages on, as the boys seek out each and every inconsistency they can find in a Cartoon Network show, and pray to any deity they can think of that Grandpa Max never remembers his time as a slug. Don't worry though, they still find every opportunity to go off topic, including discussing how Sam's entire degree can be approximated up by a joke from a twenty-year-old British sitcom.

Also, James forgets the name of ANOTHER alien, come on man!
