Hello and Welcome to "The Square Window" podcast. I'm joined in this week's nostalgia-fest by Animator and Director Jane Davies-Watkins

For this episode, we’re strapping on our helmets, firing up the gull-wing Camaro, and blasting straight into the world of M.A.S.K. — Mobile Armored Strike Kommand.

If you grew up in the 1980s, you know exactly what that title meant: high-tech agents, wild gadgets, transforming vehicles that pushed imagination into overdrive, and a battle of wits between Matt Trakker and the always-scheming Miles Mayhem of V.E.N.O.M.

M.A.S.K. wasn’t just another cartoon — it was part spy show, part superhero adventure, and part toy commercial… in the best possible way. It blended the militaristic edge of G.I. Joe with the transforming mayhem of Transformers, creating something uniquely fast, flashy, and unforgettable.

So buckle up, activate your masks, and get ready as we take a deep dive into the characters, the tech, the toys, and the legacy of one of the most iconic animated series of the ‘80s.

I hope you enjoy this episode. Please feel free to leave amy feedback in the comments section and also if you have any favourite shows of your childhood that we've not featured yet.
