Isis
"The Class Clown"
September 25, 1976
Isis tries to convince a young man that while his practical jokes may be humorous and have no malicious intent, they can lead to disaster.
We have to ask, didn't we cover this story in the last season? And didn't the previous story, "Funny Gal" do it better? John and Richard sit down to discuss what is a technically proficient story that hits all the beats, but in the end feels like a retread of themes from the previous season. In addition, they also talk about the unlikability of the guest character.
It's all here and we want to hear from you on what you think of the episode. Write us as ShazamIsisPodcast@gmail.com.
Moral: "Practical jokes may have no harmful intent, but when not thought out can lead to disaster."

"Ripcord"
September 25, 1976
Bill is a young boy who is in a hurry to grow up so that he too can skydive like his older brother. The problem is, he's in so much of a hurry, he doesn't always think and gets himself and his brother into trouble. Can Billy help Bill see how wrong he is or will it take an act that gets his brother in danger for him to see the error of his ways?
John and Richard discuss the Mego line of toys that features Captain Marvel, the brevity of the episode in terms of length of story time, and John's horrible flashbacks to Jaime Sommers' skydiving accident.

Moral: “Sometimes there are things that a kid wants to do but he's too young for. Be patient. We grow up a lot sooner than we think."
