We share our favorite moments and characters, from the ingenious 2x4 technology to unforgettable villains like Father, Grandfather, and the Delightful Children. Co-host Mira Jane sparks a lively discussion, reminiscing about childhood creativity and the imaginative gadgets we all tried to recreate.
