A mysterious new super hero arrives in Griffin Rock just in time for the debut of the mayor’s new high-speed train from the mainland — which of course goes horribly wrong!

And who is Griffin Rock’s most trusting and naive citizen? Join us this week as we go all aboard “The Griffin Rock Express”!

For our Halloween special, David kung-fu kicks Rob into one of his favorite spook-’em-ups, the fantastic phantasmagorical 1977 Japanese horror movie HOUSE! It’s a gorgeous chroma-key-filled exploration into the nightmares of a child, complete with hungry pianos, 70s easy-listening J-pop melodies, a sweet kitty cat, more watermelons than you can stomach, and more nudity than you were expecting! Plus prof positive: oh my god, Bear is cooking! How can this be?

Frustrated with Yomogi’s angst interfering with Dynazenon training, Gauma pushes him to deal with his feelings for Yume — but when he gets a horrible cold, that only makes things more complicated!

It’s Griffin Rock’s Plant a Tree Day, so naturally Mayor Luskey has an exciting new experimental robot to help with the planting! But when the little droid is inevitably hit by lightning, it inevitably goes on a rampage — underground! Can the Bots stop it before the town is overrun with all the badgers, roaches, and other underground critters fleeing the Power Planter’s subterranean wrath? How angry will we get about a lightning strike reversing a robot’s programming? How many times will we sing the word “badger”? Join us this week for “Movers and Shakers”!
When a bot’s series reaches a certain age, Hasbro’s need to sell new toys of them triggers strange and startling changes in their body — it’s time for Heatwave to get a new mode, for Reasons!

Can the other Rescue Bots hold down the fort against storms, lightning, and FIRE TORNADOS? How does Heatwave’s new mode rank against a fire department Lamborghini? And Doc Greene’s tornado-stopping machine is called WHAT!? Join us this week for “Changes”!
