    This history is told in Juggernaut 2: The Story of the Fourth National Government;

    If you're interested in #NZPolitics, and you haven't listened to both seasons of Juggernaut yet, why the hell not? They're highly entertaining and rigorously researched, featuring interviews with many of the movers and shakers of the times.

    I really hope there's a Juggernaut 3 on the Clark government. Which mostly pretended political history started in 1990.

  2. NZ got proportional representation elections, in the end, kind of by accident. With 1980s Labour PM David Lange misreading his notes and committing to it, and when Labour reneged, National leader Jim Bolger promised a referendum on it. Thinking kiwis would never vote for it.

    Juggernaut talks about all this in s02e04;

    What Juggernaut doesn't cover in any detail is the years of grassroots campaigning that preceded all this.

    It's hard to believe now given the smiling crocodile he's become. Political principles up for auction, doing whatever is best for Winston Peters and bugger anyone else. I think at the time he really meant this.

    His corruption is perhaps the saddest political story of NZ corporatism.

  8. Card 165: Spider-Man vs Juggernaut

    Love a callback to a classic Bronze Age battle in a heavily-90s set like this.

    Alex Saviuk? Good at drawing Spider-Man. Who'da thunk it? 😉

  9. Brace yourselves comic connoisseurs and gaming geeks for an episode that will have you questioning reality itself! In this multiversal misadventure we delve into the depths of X-Men Next Dimension, a game that dared to challenge the boundaries of the comic book universe.

    But wait, there’s more! We’ve got a special guest star joining us on this cosmic crusade – the one and only Lex W from the Wednesday Toast podcast! Prepare to be dazzled by his wit, charm, and encyclopedic knowledge of all things mutant-related.

    As we navigate through the Operation Zero Tolerance storyline, we’ll uncover the secrets behind this dimension-hopping extravaganza. From mind-bending plot twists to jaw-dropping gameplay mechanics, no stone will be left unturned in our quest for truth, justice, and the ultimate gaming experience.

    So grab your controllers, strap on your adamantium seatbelts, and get ready for a wild ride through the annals of X-Men history. This episode is sure to leave you questioning your own reality – or at least wondering why you didn’t invest in a Cerebro helmet sooner.

    Excelsior, true believers! The adventure awaits!

    Learn such things as:

    • HOLY CRAP THEY CAN BASE A GAME ON A SPECIFIC COMIC RUN?!
    • Is it a sequel if nobody knows it’s a sequel?
    • How did I time this episode so well with X-Men 97?
      • Just kidding, you won’t learn that because I don’t know either!
    • And so much more!
