Episode 51 - Laverne and Shirley and The Fonz and Steve Austin and John Cena and The Rock

March 12, 2022 23:53 - 1 hour - 64.5 MB

It's time for Why Does This Exist? Part 2! We're going to watch Laverne and Shirley and a pig, along with Fonzie and his dog, who are in the army and go back in time for a caveman wedding. Yep. And then we'll watch child versions of the superstars of WWE hang out at summer camp and commit/solve eyebrow crimes. It's as baffling as it sounds. Plus, Matsy tries to talk about only good cartoons, succeeding in recommending Kid Cosmic before getting crushed under the weight of Human Resources and ...

Episode 50 - Classic, I Say Classic Cartoons

March 05, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 65.5 MB

Oh, it's our 50th anniversary! And we're going to celebrate the milestone in style by watching some cartoons, believe it or not. We'll watch Foghorn Leghorn undermine the protection of baby chickens just to mess with his guard dog. We'll watch Little Audrey bring life to gingerbread, and then oversee her creation's wedding. We'll watch Droopy find a way to take Dixieland music all the way to the Hollywood Bowl. And we'll watch Grampy throw a party as only Grampy can. Plus, Micah considers th...

Episode 49 - Micah’s Choice

February 26, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

Now it's Micah's turn to make us go into a French animated movie blind, and he's selected Kirikou and the Sorceress! Let's all watch an African baby with super speed use various borrowed knives to thwart the plans of a possibly evil woman and her fetishes. Sound good? Also, Matsy tells us how The Cuphead Show compares to the cartoons of the 1930's, and how South Park's pandemic ended up, while Micah discusses My Dress-Up Darling and the phenomenon of the gyaru, and implores us further to che...

Episode 48 - Matsy’s Choice

February 19, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

Matsy had a movie he wanted to watch, and so here we are. Experiencing Europe's favorite comic strip hero in an animated adventure: The Twelve Tasks of Asterix! Watch in amazement as invincible Gaul heroes from 50 BC try to prove that they are gods by overcoming the challenges set forth by Julius Caesar. There might not be much tension, but there promises to be hilarity! Plus, Micah is disappointed by the Rescue Rangers movie trailer and the latest from Mamoru Hosoda, while Matsy is disappoi...

Episode 47 - I’m Lovin’ It

February 12, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 66.7 MB

All you really need this Valentine's Day is a good podcast. Like this one! We're going to watch Alvin and Britany try to get with each other while dealing with the inexplicably mysterious Captain Chipmunk as if a seventh anthropomorphic chipmunk singing star has just miraculously appeared in town I mean come on. And then we'll watch Smurfette deal with 99 problems, where lovesick smurfs are all of them. Actually I guess being hypnotized by Gargamel would be her 100th problem. Plus, Matsy fal...

Episode 46 - Three Good Toons and Another One

February 05, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 68.1 MB

The name says it all. We watch a Donald Duck cartoon to see how differently Donald and Daffy view piggy bank robberies. We watch another one of those mild, heartwarming Tom and Jerry cartoons to help soothe Matsy's fears of cat/mouse violence. And we watch Matsy's very favorite cartoon, featuring three jerks - er, brothers - rescuing their one fiance from a coward, bully, cad and thief. And then, to dirty our palates, we watch an offensively stereotypical Japanese beetle outwit a poor man's ...

Episode 45 - Adulting

January 30, 2022 02:51 - 1 hour - 57.8 MB

Being an adult is hard, so let's watch cartoons! First we'll check out Rilakkuma and Kaoru, in which Japanese wallet mascots and their single lady caretaker learn to make pancakes, make friends, and not worry too much about being mature or kidnapped. Then, Police Academy will teach us how to look after babies, that transistors are incredibly versatile electronic components, and that Police Academy sucks, while reminding us of which 80's Canadian voice actors voice which dinosaurs. Plus, Mica...

Episode 44 - Forget It

January 22, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 65.1 MB

Our theme this week is amnesia, I think. And we honor it by looking first at a weird, weird anime called Kaiba that is weird, and features the adventures of a guy with a hole in his chest and no memories in a world where memories and bodies are commoditized. And then by watching an episode of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in which He-Man's memory is erased. That's way easier to understand. Plus, Micah talks about David Letterman(?) and the animated adaptation of Diary of a Wimpy Kid...

Episode 43 - Tex and Chuck

January 15, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 68.4 MB

We didn't have a plan in mind, but somehow we ended up giving each other cartoons directed by Tex Avery and Chuck Jones. That sounds like a theme! For the Tex part of our program, we'll watch the great baritone Poochini get harassed by Mysto the magician as he tries to sing an opera song, and we'll see what people in 1949 thought their house would be like in 2050, when humanity has finally figured out how to deal with the mother-in-law. Then we shift to the Chuck part of the show, where Bugs...

Episode 42 - Desert Kings and Beauty Queens

January 08, 2022 18:00 - 1 hour - 61.3 MB

This week, to help us cope with the brutal cold, we're looking at cartoons with hot times! Like the episode of Futurama in which Fry stumbles onto the throne of a desert planet by being thirsty. Or the episode of Pokemon where everyone is thirsty for *cough*-year-old girls and men with impressive breasts. Plus, Micah revisits our friend Spartakus and the fate of the sun beneath the sea, and prepares for another attack on titan, while Matsy searches for ancient claymation and didn't watch eno...

Episode 41 - Spirit Heart Elephant

January 01, 2022 17:00 - 1 hour - 62.9 MB

Happy new year, everyone! And thank you for choosing to ring it in with our podcast. Let us reward you with a thorough investigation into the box office smash of 1985, The Care Bears Movie. Watch in amazement as friendless aspiring magician Nicholas partners with a suspicious book to make everybody pay, while orphans Jason and Kim team up with a variety of pastel bears and other creatures to save caring! And Mickey Rooney is there! And since it is a whole new year, we're going to recount our...

Episode 40 - The Animation Celery Christmas Special 2: Actually Christmas

December 25, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 61.4 MB

Season's greetings, everyone! Curl up by your yule logs or whatever and listen to us talk about Christmas cartoons. We'll look at Adventure Time, and what Christmas is like a couple thousand years in the future. And we'll watch Justice League, and see how superheroes celebrate the holiday. Plus, Micah FINALLY tells us what's going on with the latest JoJo (prison, apparently), and Matsy tells us how this whole COVID thing is going to shake out according to South Park. Oh, and Matsy also opens...

Episode 39 - Holiday Mix

December 18, 2021 23:49 - 1 hour - 63.5 MB

Hey, let's look at some cartoons about winter and/or Christmas! We have one called Alma which isn't creepy at all. Here's one about a skunk and a dog engaging in chemical and biological warfare over ownership of the world's only warm house. One about orphans double-crossed by Santa and rescued by some other weird old man. And Tom and Jerry debating squatting rights in and around cheese. Oh, but let's not forget that season 2 of Centaurworld happened. And Micah's going to tell us about the la...

Episode 38 - One Crazy Hour

December 11, 2021 17:00 - 57 minutes - 44.2 MB

For Chanukah, we watched Adam Sandler's animated masterpiece (or piece of some kind) Eight Crazy Nights. And we talk about it, but man, it's not worth the effort. But Micah also watched a series of better movies, including Wreck-It Ralph, The Summit of the Gods, and From Up on Poppy Hill. And Matsy investigated just how integral farts and poop are to Bob's Burgers. So, you know... something for everyone! Come listen, and vote for Animation Celery for the 94th All-Star Patch!   Cartoon in t...

Episode 37 - Taffy Taffy Taffy

December 04, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 55.5 MB

Come join us once again as we look at cartoons that call back to other episodes we've done! We'll watch the Gummi Bears try to steal the top secret Paunch taffy formula, and try to get Igthorn back on the throne when a little ogre ousts him from Drekmore via everyone's favorite method of ousting people from Drekmore: catapult! Then we'll endure Donkey Kong Country, and see how much worse everything is without Donkey Kong. That can't be right... Meanwhile, Matsy has invented a new game to tes...

Episode 36 - Inspecting Garfield

November 27, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 71.8 MB

Remember that time we watched three random episodes of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers to see if its quality was as dependent on Gadget as Micah thought? Well, we're doing it again, and this time the subject is Garfield and Friends. Three random episodes that'll take us through Binky the Clown's legal troubles, mall-based documentaries, crooked cops for the second week in a row, malfunctioning imaginations, malfunctioning mice, terrible hiring practices, and various instances of Wade the duck b...

Episode 35 - Defund the Potatoes

November 20, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 69 MB

It's a random mix this week! We'll watch a young rabbit try to make his fortune by saving frogs inside a seashell. Apparently this is a lucrative career. Then we'll watch Daffy Duck track down the grotesque villains who swiped his piggy bank. I'm not sure if this is a lucrative career. Next, we watch some police potatoes get to the bottom of a carrot kidnapping. This is not a lucrative career (d'oh!) ...unless you're crooked (woohoo!). And finally, we'll watch Roger Rabbit babysit a babe in ...

Episode 34 - Nerds Do Podcast

November 13, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 53.4 MB

This week, Micah wanted to watch a movie, and Matsy had one he always meant to watch but never got around to. So hey, it's time to find out whether cats dance or not. Is Scott Bakula a decent singer? Is Sawyer an unsung yiffy icon? Are the villains the best part of this movie? Is Dee Bradley Baker this century's Frank Welker? All these questions and more will be at least considered as we look at the 1997 Warner Bros. bomb Cats Don't Dance! Also, Micah tells us about new Simpsons and new Duck...

Episode 33 - Halloween in November

November 06, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 54 MB

There's too much Halloween for one month to contain! It's spilling over! It's spilling into Soul Eater, in which a short-stacked assassin-school-girl and her very cool and manly scythe partner are out to eat the soul of a pumpkin witch! And it's spilling into Beetlejuice, in which there's a Halloween party and everyone is invited, whether they're living or snooty or cannibals or even invited! Halloween is for everyone! But on a lighter note, Matsy also checked out this Inside Job show that's...

Episode 32 - A Paraphernalia Wagon to the Nether Regions

October 30, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 54.8 MB

It's basically Halloween, so let's ramp up the spoop! For example, we're going to watch an alternate-reality version of the Grinch terrorize whos, as all Grinches tend to do, and see if a little nerd on his way to the euphemism can save the day. And then we'll look at a prime episode of The Real Ghostbusters, in which a door to oblivion needs to be closed before Daedra invade Tamriel and... Oh, wait, I'm being told that's a different door to Oblivion. Well, this is the same basic idea. Just ...

Episode 31 - This Podcast is Haunted

October 23, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 63.9 MB

It really is. We're looking at ghostly cartoons this week, you see. There's The Backwater Gospel, in which a creepy town is caught between their fear of God and their fear of death incarnate. There's Water, Water Every Hare, in which Bugs Bunny has to outwit an evil scientist and an orange, hairy monster to keep his brain. There's G-Man Jitters, in which Gandy Goose needs to get to the bottom of what's REALLY scary in a haunted house full of ghosts and ghouls. And there's Ghost Night, in whi...

Episode 30 - Jet Fuel Japes or Moose Over Miami

October 16, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 61.7 MB

And now, here's something we hope you'll really like! Someone suggested, "Hey, maybe you should watch some Rocky and Bullwinkle." So we naturally decided to watch the entire first story arc. Come with us on the epic journey of Rocket J. Squirrel and Bullwinkle J. Moose, along with Boris J. Bademov and Natasha J. Fatale, as they attempt to make rocket fuel out of cake and berries. The premise is so absurd that of course it takes them around the world, and sees them caught up in international ...

Episode 29 - The Ghosts of Thanksgiving Past

October 09, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 64.9 MB

This week, us crazy Canadians are celebrating Thanksgiving in October with cartoons about Thanksgiving ghosts! First, we'll watch the REAL Ghostbusters fight a praying mantis that has the power of the gods, apparently, with a marshmallow who might be a god? Then Pac-Man sleeps so long that ghosts take over the Pac-world, before flashing back to when Pac-people took over the ghosts' world. And if that's not enough ghosts for ya, we'll also talk about Disney's spooky new series The Ghost and M...

Episode 28 - Kajolica

October 02, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 68.9 MB

It's all about the kids this time. First, the Muppet Babies fill the Funny Freddy-shaped hole in their lives by cutting a hole in a cardboard box and producing their own content like it's 30 years later. Then, The Mighty B! does #JustScoutThings like selling candy and protecting the world from her accursed middle name. Micah will also tell us about some games and some Star, and Matsy will tell us about Steven Universe's future. Oh, and don't worry; we also talk about the thing. *Pff* Seth Ro...

Episode 27 - Furry History

September 25, 2021 17:00 - 48 minutes - 39.7 MB

Animal Treasure Island. Yep. The secret Hayao Miyazaki movie you didn't know about. We watch the last humans in a world ruled by animals risk life and limb to find pirate treasure, and if they have time, not lose a baby. Will they succeed? Will Captain Silver ever have enough coffee? Is this movie why we have The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker? We'll see! Matsy's also watching The Harper House, which is the latest cartoon from the guy who made Baby Cakes on YouTube and China, Il., and Micah'...

Episode 26 - History Lessons

September 18, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 67.5 MB

It's weird how somehow our separate ideas come together in a theme. This time, we're looking at how animation progressed from theatrical shorts to YouTube cartoons that anyone can make. First, Micah is traumatized by one of the first computer animated cartoons and its disturbing look at gluttony. Then Matsy is traumatized by an old Looney Tunes feature where a little boy daydreams about murdering numbers, Indians, and a shark. But we can cool down after that with some relaxing user-generated...

Episode 25 - Furry Lessons

September 11, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 64.7 MB

All right children, it's time to go back to school in the 80's and learn how to be furries. We'll start with Canadian classic The Raccoons and see how woodland creatures save the school from the evil, uh, government I guess. Then, for those who prefer their anthropomorphic animals more scaley, we'll watch Dinosaucers, and see what happens when you bring your pachycephalosaurus to school with you. We'll also check in one more time with Rick and Morty and see how that whole overarching storyli...

Episode 24 - Mediocre Heroes

September 04, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 62.1 MB

The intended theme this time was "our favorite episodes," but we also stumbled upon a theme of questionable superheroes, so hey. Matsy's favorite episode of The Tick features The City's savior fighting for his very name while an evil bomber what bombs at very specific times tries to make a name for himself. And Micah quite appropriately fused two Steven Universe segments into a more powerful episode, in which Steven learns the sexy origins of giant women and fights back against the ironic us...

Episode 23 - The Spartakus Fiasco

August 28, 2021 21:36 - 1 hour - 59.2 MB

We had a simple goal in mind: watch the first four episodes of the 80's French cartoon Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea. But the internet had several different ideas of what constitutes "first four." So you're getting recaps of the first FIVE episodes, some of which some of us are going into blind. It's quite a ride. Meanwhile, Matsy will reassess Rick and Morty in light of the last few years' developments, while Micah will pitch his million dollar cartoon idea. Stay to the end and enjo...

Episode 22 - The Great Outdoors

August 21, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MB

We backdoored our way into a nature theme this week. Micah is viewing some Hanna-Barbera cartoons about the woods, featuring Yogi Bear being subjected to aversion therapy to cure his addiction to pic-a-nic baskets and Auggie Doggie and Doggie Daddy vying to see who knows more about roughing it. Meanwhile, Matsy heads out to sea with two cartoon parodies of Moby-Dick, in which Woody Woodpecker helps Captain Dooley hunt Dopey Dick before switching allegiances to help Dopey Dick thwart Captain ...

Episode 21 - TOYS 4 BOYS

August 14, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 63.7 MB

Believe it or not, toy companies once commissioned cartoons to sell their products. I know, right? So this week, we're looking at two cartoons made to whet young boys' appetites for TOYS. Transformers: The Headmasters shows how you can make your Transformers more or less powerful by giving them head transplants, while also directing your attention to little battling beasts with the power of water, wood and fire. Meanwhile, Mighty Max takes the previously female concept of putting a playset i...

Episode 20 - Don't Look Back In Anger

August 07, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 53.8 MB

This week, we look back at a couple of things we already looked at once, to see if they got any better or worse since then. We're watching another episode of Little Shop, which is kind of about love? And we're watching another episode of Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling, which is about various forms of fitness. But most importantly, we both watched Masters of the Universe: Revelation, and we're here to tell you whether MotU is back in its POGest form, whether Kevin Smith made a mistake, and w...

Episode 19 - Wolf Mother 2: The Wolfening

July 31, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 48.9 MB

It's time to watch another movie, and stop me if you've heard this one, but it's about children who turn into wolves. This time, we're looking at the lovely Irish film Wolfwalkers! We'll discuss beautiful animation, make uneducated statements about British and Irish history, and recount the crazy hoops you have to go through to watch things on Apple's questionable video streaming service. We'll also talk about the He-Man Matsy should have watched but didn't, the He-Man Micah shouldn't have w...

Episode 18 - That Guided Missile

July 24, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

Okay, we're going watch Woody Woodpecker get scammed by a crooked insurance salesman and become one himself, and we're going to watch a young Japanese superhero pick and choose which murders he cares about, and we're going to watch Mickey, Donald and Goofy clean a clock. But the most important thing is that your childhood's most menacing guided missile is in this episode! There are also some interesting stories about the Woody Woodpecker Song, and Donald being censored, and we'll also talk a...

Episode 17 - Primus Sucks

July 17, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 68.2 MB

Did you know there was a sequel series to He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in 1989? Well, don't bother looking into it, because we're here to tell you everything you need to know! We'll tell you about the blandest He-Man, the goofiest-yet-most-competent Skeletor, the most disobedient young boy, and Gepple's Goo. We'll also tell you everything you need to know about The Patrick Star Show, Amazon Prime Video's Rocky and Bullwinkle, and the baffling epic that is Mobile Suit Gundam. Actual...

Episode 16 - The Animation Celery Christmas Special

July 10, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 56 MB

Happy holidays, everyone! We're escaping from the vicious heat of the Northern Hemisphere July with a couple of wintery offerings. First, a look at the one and only animated version of comic superstars Opus and Bill, in which the little penguin that absolutely couldn't tries to get his fondest wish granted. Then we look at an obscure Japanese/Russian/Slovak fairy tale about literally all the months, the girl who endures them, and the queen who doesn't respect them. We'll also check on Wizard...

Episode 15 - POG Form

July 02, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 58.4 MB

Hey, why do these cartoons exist? We're back to look into it. Specifically, we're gonna look into Rude Dog and the Dweebs, and see if weird canines can sell surf- and skatewear. Or at least if they can figure out that cartoon dogs are not traditionally afraid of cats, or that cows are not traditionally goldfish. Then we'll look at ALF Tales, and an alternate reality where John Henry was a tomato carving Melmacian. That's literally what the cartoon is about. Also, Micah will update us on his ...

Episode 14 - Canadian Content

June 26, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

Happy Canada Day, everybody! We're showing respect to our home and native land by looking at some of the many, many great animated shorts produced by the National Film Board of Canada this week. First, we'll examine a mere two of the tremendously funny cartoons by Richard Condie, namely The Apprentice and Getting Started. Can an idiot surmount the seemingly impossible obstacle of a single tree? Can another dude surmount the equally impossible obstacle of his own lack of motivation? Then we'l...

Episode 13 - A Goofy Podcast

June 19, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 60.2 MB

Happy Father's Day to all the daddies out there! We're going to celebrate your time by watching a movie about the 1995 Father of the Year, Goofy! It's called A Goofy Movie, conveniently enough. Does a second-string Disney animated feature based on a cartoon steeped in the most tubular aesthetics of the 90's still hold up in 2021? The answer may surprise you. We'll also investigate Netflix's upcoming adaptations of Cuphead and Masters of the Universe, and take a real dive into the video game ...

Episode 12 - Inspecting Gadget

June 12, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 67.4 MB

We two gumshoes are not going to let criminal slander of Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers go slipping through the cracks. This week, we take a random sample of episodes and subject them to tests and algorithms to determine once and for all the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything: is Rescue Rangers only good because of Gadget? We'll also examine how the Hays code protected early humans from barnyard nudity, what cute girls do when they go laid-back camping, and......

Episode 11 - Popee-rri

June 05, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 67.6 MB

This episode's got it all. For example, Matsy is given a Tom and Jerry short that reassures him that they aren't always as brutal as he thought, then follows it up with a cartoon in which a clown repeatedly stabs a wolf in the face. Meanwhile, Micah watches a mosquito stab someone in the face and drink their blood, and watches good ol' Mickey Mouse beat the music out of a selection of barnyard animals. Cartoons are violent, man. Also, some quick coverage of Fox's eight millionth animated ser...

Episode 10 - Animation Celery Babies

May 29, 2021 17:00 - 57 minutes - 47.8 MB

Gather 'round, children, as we look at cartoons aimed at an even younger audience than the ones we normally look at! We'll watch some birds learn about eggs and slides, fog and mud in Peep and the Big Wide World. And we'll watch a young Swiss girl navigate a big wide world in which no one wants anything to do with her in 2015's version of Heidi. And for the more mature cartoon-watching palate, Micah teaches us what the worst cartoon character names are and whether that new M.O.D.O.K. is anyt...

Episode 9 - Good Idea, Bad Idea

May 22, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 62.1 MB

It's the best of times and the blurst of times here on Animation Celery, as we look at the peaks and troughs of Gummi Bears and Invader Zim. Gruffi and Calla bond over machines and Sunni and Toadie bond over their desire for respect, while Zim bonds with a hideous new girl and her meat. Meanwhile, Sir Tuxford, Cavin, Toadie, Igthorne, Gruffi, Cubbi, Tummi, two nameless guards and a goose try to bond a coherent plot out of disparate parts, while Dib tries to un-bind Gaz from the taste of pig....

Episode 8 - The Good Episode

May 15, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 55.8 MB

We didn't plan for this episode to feature four of the best cartoons we've watched to date; it just turned out that way! First, we'll see if Popeye can lick 41 foes with nothing but a can of spinach. Then we'll examine the mass hysteria that really results from dogs and cats living together. And finally, having earned our rest, we'll take in a game of baseball featuring myriad Goofies. Plus, Micah revisits JoJo's adventures (which are increasingly bizarre) and Twelve Forever's villainous vil...

Episode 7 - Wolf Mother

May 08, 2021 17:00 - 57 minutes - 47 MB

It's mother's day, and we're celebrating by watching our very first full-length feature: Mamoru Hosoda's anime masterpiece, Wolf Children! We'll also talk about less motherly things, like the current state of the Pokémon cartoon, willful neglect of Australian child labor laws with The Strange Chores, celebrity dog-girl Korone's mastery of V-tube humor, and the edgelord alter-egos in Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! and Twelve Forever that the boys wish they could forget and the girls can't ...

Episode 6 - Altogether Ook-ooky

May 01, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 48.5 MB

What did animators in the 70's do when the fat cats in Hollywood tasked them with adapting a popular franchise into a cartoon and gave them a budget of approximately one cheese sandwich to do it? Let's find out, as we look at cartoon versions of the Addams Family and Planet of the Apes! Plus, a quick look at the collected works of Mike Judge, and an investigation into where magic schoolbuses come from. Apparently Rick Springfield had something to do with it. Cartoons in this episode: The Ad...

Episode 5 - Little Shop of Horses

April 24, 2021 17:00 - 58 minutes - 45.9 MB

This week, we see what 90's cartoons can teach us! If a train leaves Deadwood going west at 11:55 AM, and a gang of men on horseback leaves Deadwood going west at 11:56 AM, who will reach Rattlesnake Ravine first? And why do the hottest girls only like nerds? Plus, Matsy shares his opinion of Rick & Morty, while Micah shares his dreams. Subscribe to our podcast before I put you in check!   Cartoons in this episode: The Legend of Calamity Jane, "Slip of the Whip"; Little Shop, "Bad Seed"

Episode 4 - Whose Dot Is It Anyway?

April 17, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 50.1 MB

It's a potpourri of cartoons this week! We'll look at the possibility of romance for various stick figures, the possibility of employment for developmentally challenged children, and the possibility of success for underpowered superheroes. It's all right here, on the *chime-chime-chime* podcast. Cartoons in this episode: The Dot and the Line; The Magic Pencil; Gerald McBoing-Boing; The Ghost Monster

Episode 3 - Bizarre Teens

April 10, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 53.9 MB

Being a teenager is hard. Like you might have a being of pure malevolence for an adopted brother, so you have to spend years sculpting your body into a ridiculous slab of muscle to counter his sadistic torments. Or you might be a robot tasked with defending the world from various villainous invaders, only to find that no one appreciates your efforts. I know the teenagers I went to school with pretty much fit into those two camps. *Roundabout plays*   Cartoons in this episode: JoJo's Bizarr...

Episode 2 - Brain and Brawn

April 03, 2021 17:00 - 1 hour - 68.9 MB

Let me tell you something, brother! We're poring over vital intel about Inspector Gadget that was withheld from the Canadian people. Like what kind of idiot he associates with, and what kind of deathtrap he lives in. Then we consider alternate professions for the down-on-his-luck wrestler. Housecleaner? Pastry chef? Model? Actually, there was a wrestling model, wasn't there? Can't believe I forgot about that until just now.   Cartoons in this episode: Inspector Gadget, "The Capeman Cometh"...
