  • Episode 100 - Zygote
    2023/03/11

    Well, we made it to 100! Now let's go out on top with some series finales. We're going to watch Home Movies and see how Brendon and friends deal with not knowing how to end things, along with not knowing how to do makeup or build a grill. And then we'll watch Fables of the Green Forest, and find out what happens when furry woodland creatures need to sleep for the winter. Turns out not much! Plus, we both reflect on the things we've done, and the things we didn't get to do. We made it 100 episodes without talking about the Smoggies!

    Cartoons in this episode: Home Movies, "Focus Grill" Fables of the Green Forest, "Johnny's Hibernation"

  • Episode 99 - Cartoons
    2023/03/06

    Cartoons? Cartoons! Cartoons about cartoons! We'll watch an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures called Animaniacs!, where Plucky learns what cartoons are and how they work, and everything anyone ever needed to know about comedy beats or beets. Meanwhile, we won't learn anything from Ren and Stimpy making and producing their own cartoon, but maybe we'll learn what's wrong with Wilbur Cobb (no, we won't). Plus, Matsy watches more Bluey and ventures into previously unseen Ralph Bakshi, while Micah watches and reads all kinds of things, from feet to questionably canonical Oz. Walter Lantz!

    Cartoons in this episode: Tiny Toon Adventures, "Animaniacs!" The Ren & Stimpy Show, "Stimpy's Cartoon Show"

  • Episode 98 - Not That One
    2023/02/27

    It's another one of those times where we started without a theme, but got one anyway: things that have the same title as more famous things! First of all, we're looking at the OTHER Ghostbusters, and how they deal with spaceships. Huh. And then we look at what happens when Dorothy returns to Oz, but not according to Disney. Turns out it's very similar to what happened the first time. Plus, Micah also returns to Oz, in a book where the increasingly sick-of-Oz Frank L. Baum starts importing characters from his other works in a desperate attempt to keep himself interested in churning these things out, while Matsy is enamored with a cartoon for very small Australian children starring a blue puppy. All this, and we dig into the Animation Cel-ery mailbag!

    Cartoons in this episode: Filmation's Ghostbusters, "Scareplane" "Return to Oz"

  • Episode 97 - Journey to the Land of Wuzz
    2023/02/18

    For our theme this week, we picked forgotten or disliked cartoons that at least one of us enjoyed. We have one of Asia's million adaptations of Journey to the West, in this case made super cool for the 90's in the form of Monkey Magic. And we have the Disney animated series that didn't make it to the afternoon, starring the Wuzzles. Plus, Matsy discusses things that disappoint him about repeated visits to the Avatarverse (which is ironic) and repeated visits to Neo Edo with Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles, while Micah reads more Oz and finishes with Steven Universe once and for all. Come on, Monkey, download this podcast!

    Cartoons in this episode: Monkey Magic, "Enter Stone Monkey" The Wuzzles, "Moosel's Monster"

  • Episode 96 - Animal Lovers
    2023/02/12

    For a fantastical Valentine's Day, let's look at love. First, we investigate what happens when a lonely sheep in a big city spots a kindred... coat of fur. And THEN we'll see what happens IF a mouse feels guilty about giving his best friend short shrift in exchange for delicious baked goods. Plus, Micah continues watching SUF, and also checks out some commentary for Speed Racer, while Matsy looks long and hard at what it means to be GM in a game of Avatar Legends. IF you listen to our podcast, THEN we'll be very grateful!

    Cartoons in this episode: Sheep in the Big City, "Be Still My Bleat-ing Heart" If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, "If You Give a Mouse a Valentine's Day Cookie"

  • Episode 95 - Six Little Pigs and Other Tales
    2023/02/07

    Okay, so this time is all about animals, I guess. Bobo the elephant wants to join the circus, but first he needs to get on a boat for people. And two different versions of three little pigs are trying to evade wolves by ensconcing themselves in homes of varying levels of security. Wonder how that'll turn out. But the most dangerous animal is man, especially when men want to beat each other up for fun; they just didn't count on one of the men being Popeye! Plus, Matsy fills in the gaps in his knowledge of the Avatarverse by watching The Legend of Korra, while Micah continues with Steven Universe Future and non-animated Oz books. And I edited out some of the more ridiculous miscommunications we had while recording.

    Cartoons in this episode: "Hobo Bobo" "Three Little Pigs" "Can You Take It" "Pigs in a Polka"

  • Episode 94 - Troublemakers
    2023/01/28

    We had a theme of troublemakers, and it's funny how things work out sometimes; we each gave the other a cartoon we thought they'd hate, and then it turned out they didn't hate it as much as we did. Does that make sense? Let me explain. Matsy gave Micah an episode of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures that he thought was the worst thing since Ned's Newt, but it turned out Micah kinda liked it! And Micah gave Matsy an episode of Speed Racer that he thought would annoy him tremendously, but Matsy was ready for it. Maybe the real troublemakers were us. Plus, Micah revisits Steven Universe in the Future and keeps reading Oz books from the past, while Matsy considers an unexpected turn in the Rick and Morty saga and digs into the questionable films of Ralph Bakshi. Come check it out, but don't listen to podcasts while driving cars!

  • Episode 93 - Two Triforces and a Microphone
    2023/01/21

    Kiss me, Princess. You've stumbled onto our discussion of The Legend of Zelda! We're watching what the internet has determined are the three best episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show's Friday afternoon Hylian diversions, so kiss me, Princess. First we get to see an alicorn... sorry, we get to see a FLYING UNICORN interrupt Link's attempts to get Zelda to kiss him. Then we see (kiss me, Princess) a questionable medieval waterpark with butt-shredding brick slides. And we finally get rid of (kiss me, Princess) Link for a while so maybe Zelda can have some respite from sexual harassment. Unless she actually loves her stalker, but what are the chances of that? Kiss me, Princess. And to cap things off, we'll take a look at the sequel, as Captain N ventures into Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, which presumably takes place in Zeldaland. All this and more! Kiss me, Princess. This always happens. ExcuuUUuuse me, Princess. Also kiss me.

    Cartoons in this episode: The Legend of Zelda (via The Super Mario Bros. Super Show), "Sing for the Unicorn" "Fairies in the Spring" "The Missing Link" Captain N: The Game Master, "Quest for the Potion of Power"
