The Bloobcast make a return to the worlds of Mainframe Entertainment to take a look at their 1998 Sci Fi TV Series Shadow Raiders.
They discuss the show's origins as a vehicle to sell toys, the main character's tendancy to remind everyone that he's 'Just A Miner', bizarre UK broadcast practices, why the series is called Shadow Raiders, speculate how the 1998 Godzilla movie may have inadvertedly lead to the show's cancellation, and how shows born out of Capitalism end up becoming pro Communism.
