You know what I watched was crazy.
AlilHOST
17:31
I don't know if you guys know Voltron.
AlilHOST
17:34
I'm wearing my Voltron shirt right now.
AlilHOST
17:37
It was a Japanese anime that they brought here and changed the entire, but they changed the entire storyline.
AlilHOST
17:43
Like the story is not the same story that was goal line.
AlilHOST
18:31
This is crazy.
AlilHOST
18:33
This
SteveHOST

is the original Voltron.

18:04
Like, you were eating well in the late 70s if you were a fan of science fiction.
speaker_0HOST
18:10
And so this would continue to get two more sequels after that under the banner of Star Blazers and still have the opportunity to run between the entire into 1979 and leading into the 80s, which on top of that, led to a lot more imported titles, like so much so in the form of Voltron, Defender of the Universe, Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, G-Force, the localized version of Transformers, Ultimate Muscle, and of course Robotech.
speaker_0HOST
18:39
Robotech is definitely one where...
speaker_0HOST
18:41
I don't necessarily...
Evan JohnsHOST
36:48
Well,
BooHOST
36:48
and then the next year, that's when you had, you know, Voltron hit and Robotech and all that.
BooHOST
36:53
Right.
BooHOST
36:53
And so that's where you really started having your big anime explosion occur.
BooHOST
37:19
And these all came with toys.
BooHOST
37:20
You could go see the Robotech toys in the store.
BooHOST
37:22
You could see Voltron.
BooHOST
37:24
And everybody had their favorite Voltron that they wanted.
Michael BurgettHOST
1:28
As I've mentioned several times on the podcast, I'm a huge anime fan and really my love for anime really developed in the mid nineties or so.
Michael BurgettHOST
1:40
Like as a kid in the eighties, uh, there was Voltron.
Michael BurgettHOST
1:44
That was probably my first introduction to anime, but it really developed in the mid nineties when, uh, I got cable.
Michael BurgettHOST
1:54
My parents got cable at that point.
Chris D'EliaHOST
40:28
So he's poor.
Chris D'EliaHOST
40:31
This is Voltron.
Chris D'EliaHOST
40:34
How do they do this and then also Voltron?
speaker_2UNKNOWN
40:39
Go, go, go, go, Voltron.
Chris D'EliaHOST
40:42
Intro song.
Chris D'EliaHOST
40:44
I remember Voltron
Peter CullenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
40:45
was kind of the shit, though.
Peter CullenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
40:46
Remember Hank? Let's see.
Peter CullenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
11:28
From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend.
Peter CullenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
11:36
The legend of Voltron, defender of the universe.
JamieHOST
11:43
Peter Cullen's distinctive voice had quickly become unforgettable.
JamieHOST
11:48
And that was only going to grow the same year that Voltron came out.
JamieHOST
11:53
But before we get to that, Colin also lent his announcing voice to yet another 1980s defining cartoon.
JamieHOST
12:08
On Rainbow Bright, Cullen provided the voices of Murky Dismal, Monstro Merc, Sky Dancer, and was the narrator of the show.

9 MINS LATER

Peter CullenSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
21:21
Speaking of movies, the mid-80s were a busy time for Peter Cullen and theatrical releases.
JamieHOST
21:39
Besides the Transformers the movie, Cullen also appeared in the Rainbow Bright film from 1985, the My Little Pony movie, King Kong Lives, and the G.I. Joe movie.
Corey TurnerGUEST
9:20
Even then, I was watching anime back then also.
Corey TurnerGUEST
9:24
I was watching Voltron.
Corey TurnerGUEST
9:25
I was watching Gatchaman.
Corey TurnerGUEST
9:28
I was watching, at that time, GeForce.
TFG1MikeHOST
2:03
is how emotional I get at hearing the news that they have left this mortal coil.
TFG1MikeHOST
2:12
And the news that we got late in the evening, August 26th, but more so the morning of August 27th, 2026, Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, the voice of Eeyore, the voice of the narrator on Voltron, the original Voltron animated series from 1984.
TFG1MikeHOST
2:42
He was the voice of the Knight automated roving robot for one episode in Knight Rider, the original Knight Rider series in 1982.
TFG1MikeHOST
2:50
He would then come back to reprise Carr and in the 2008 reboot series continuation series actually the interesting thing about that is car in that series actually was the knight automated roving robot because in that series in the nbc 2008 series both kit and car had transformation capabilities.
RishonGUEST
71:06
I had no idea that Rayearth was actually going to play into the title, because sometimes that doesn't always happen in anime.
SanjayGUEST
71:12
Or I thought it was going to be something like when the three rune gods go together and form Voltron.
SanjayGUEST
71:16
Oh,
RishonGUEST
71:16
yeah, then that's
Christian EllisHOST
44:43
I mean, there was a moment after Transformers where he didn't want to do any kind of animation action violence work.
Christian EllisHOST
44:54
He was in Voltron, too.
Christian EllisHOST
44:55
He did a lot of the... 80s voices, a lot of them that you wouldn't necessarily know right offhand.
Christian EllisHOST
45:03
But Optimus Prime, I'll always remember from the first three miniseries.
