Jason Gaston

This week on Filmation Spotlight, Jason Roy Gaston and VHS_Jase dive headfirst into the shallow end of the superhero pool with the 1967 Aquaman animated series from Filmation! That’s right—it’s wall-to-wall undersea adventures with everyone’s favorite seahorse-riding, fish-whispering dude who somehow made talking to tuna look like a superpower.

We discuss Aquaman’s thrilling ability to… swim slightly faster than normal people, yell at dolphins, and stare heroically into the middle distance. Plus, we marvel at the budget-saving animation tricks that make cardboard cutouts look kinetic by comparison.

Is this the definitive portrayal of Aquaman? No. Is it wet? Yes. Is it mildly entertaining in a “please clap” kind of way? Absolutely. Grab your conch shell communicator and prepare to be… dampened.
