Episodes
Strawinsky/Series Finale
May 28, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 97.9 MBAll good things must come to an end. It would seem the same is true of junk. We go out with a bang though! 'Cause it doesn't get weirder than Strawinsky, whose full name I refuse to type. We Review Strawinsky. Direct Download
Sherlock Gnomes
March 28, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 66.8 MBBetter late than never I always say. See? 'Cause both our episode was late, and the movie got a pushed back release date! Didn't notice? Doesn't matter. Elton John has helped make another animated movie about gnomes! This time it's a mystery! (I'm just assuming the first one was a love story; didn't see it) And just like any good mystery, this one comes with a twist! A twist about farts! Can we stop now? We review Sherlock Gnomes. Direct Download
Chicken Little
March 12, 2018 04:00 - 1 hour - 87.2 MBDidya Know?! Eugene Levy and Fred Willard are different people! They were both in 'Best in Show' with Catherine O'Hara though. Oh, I'm sorry. Was there a movie going on here? We review Chicken Little. Direct Download
Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland
February 26, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 93.6 MBOur Omni Mic audio adventure continues. I guess the theme month this time is movies that have incidental Brad Bird involvement. Who woulda guessed? We Review Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland aka Little Nemo aka Nemo. Direct Download
Animalympics
February 12, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 86.3 MBAfter years of waiting, it's finally thematically appropriate to review Animalympics. Even though this is probably the third Olympics that has come around since the podcast started. Word to the wise: Don't take history lessons from animators. Or, for that matter, sports advice. Don't even ever listen to us, for God's sake. We Review Animalympics. Direct Download
Planes: Fire and Rescue (Broken Audio Apology)
January 29, 2018 05:00 - 1 minute - 2.07 MBSorry Guys! Seth's computer did something weird and now our audio sounds like we recorded it on a Sega Genesis. We aren't gonna subject you to two hours of that though, so this is just an apology file. We are gonna try and repair the audio, but as you can hear in this episode, it's pretty ear shattering, and there may be nothing we can do. That's just how it is sometimes, but we're sorry. You'll be happy to know that Seth's been fired though. We swear we reviewed Planes Fire & Rescue...
Happily N'Ever After 2: Snow White - Another Bite @ the Apple
January 15, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 106 MBGotta be the longest, most convoluted movie title we've had so far. Which is fitting cause this episode is all over the place. The only good news is we didn't have to watch the first one. We Review Happily N'Ever After 2: Snow White - Another Bite @ the Apple. Direct Download
What's Up Balloon to the Rescue
January 01, 2018 05:00 - 1 hour - 96.7 MBWhat a way to start the new year. I guess there's nowhere to go ... but UP! This episode ends up discussing sensitive topics like Bill Cosby and other sexual assault allegations. Just a fair warning if you don't want to have to deal with that. The episode isn't good enough to try if you don't want to hear about it. Also we acknowledge that no one has been criminally convicted, the charges discussed are alleged and we are merely stating our individual opinions. Now doesn't this all sou...
Gummibär The Yummy Gummy Search for Santa
December 18, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 77.7 MBWe're almost out of the woods this Christmas and the final obstacle is Gummibär (Gummy Bear, but with an umlaut, get it?) The Yummy Gummy Search for Santa. The box is full of false claims, but at least it's upfront about its hideous star and the fact that aliens appear in this 'film'. We review Gummibär The Yummy Gummy Search for Santa Direct Download
The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus
December 04, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 73.8 MBThe endless Christmas begins again on the Cartoon Lampoon Podcast. The 8th or 9th or 10th Christmas we've celebrated in the 4 years we've been doing it. Gotta be close to the 5th Rankin/Bass movie we've done, maybe the 4th Santa Origin Story. Can you believe we haven't even made a dent in Animated Christmas Specials yet?! We Review The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus. Direct Download
Doogal
November 20, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 85.4 MBThis has gotta be the worst thing that Harvey Weinstein's ever done right? Without checking the news of the past couple months or paying attention to anything any female celebrity has ever said, or just looking at Harvey Weinstein, I'm going to assume this is the worst thing he's ever done. Let me just Google him to make sure I'm spelling his name right. ... Oh. Well, I'll just check on Louis C.K. while I've got Google open. ... Oh. This is gonna take a while. We review Doog...
Delgo aka Ferngully 4
November 06, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 63.2 MBThe lowest grossing computer animated film of all time finally makes it to the Cartoon Lampoon Podcast. If only it was notable in any other conceivable way. What a mess. We review Delgo with our opinions. Direct Download
Scooby-Doo! Shaggy's Showdown/ Season Finale
October 23, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour - 79.7 MBWe take a nice easy stroll through one of the newest Scooby-Doo! movies to end our 3rd Season and do an end of season recap of some of the best and worst movies of the year. We also chit-chat about a few other Halloween specials you can look forward to/dread this year, and also a surprising amount of Star Trek talk. Direct Download
Where the Dead Go to Die
October 09, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour - 71.4 MBThis movie is tactless and easily the worst thing we've ever seen. I know we say that a lot but this time we mean it. We didn't even get halfway through it before just skipping to the end credits. So to make up for the lack of movie discussion we have an animation career discussion about 47 minutes in to the episode. So skip to that if you don't want to hear about this Horror monstrosity. Also I threw the DVD out. the end. Happy Halloween Month Direct Download
The Thief and the Cobbler
September 24, 2017 22:32 - 1 hour - 93.6 MBThat's the image Wikipedia has as the main movie poster image. Its oddly cropped, it has a banner only on the top, and then an overly detailed background image that is bottom left justified for some reason. Then Richard Williams picked one of his forty titles for the film, slapped it on there, put the Tiny Toon Adventures Logo in it, and left the rest a black void. All it all its strange, jumbled, admittedly pretty in places, too busy at points, too spare in others, and honestly? Probab...
Puss in Boots (1999)
September 11, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour - 87.8 MBI'm just gonna let you all know now, this episode should really be called 'Basics of Animation' and 'History of Flash' because we talk about that a Hell of a lot more than we talk about the movie itself. One of the worst things we've seen on the show if not truly the very bottom of what animation as an art form has to offer. Hats off to Phil Nibbelink though, he's a talented animator who has had a hand in making some of our favorite movies throughout the 80s and 90s. This, however, w...
Titanic: The Legend Goes On
August 28, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour - 99 MBWelp. It's Party Time. I'm not sure anything more than that needs to be said about this infamously bad, tone-deaf animated flop. Which, if nothing else, serves to remind us which side of WW2 Italy was on. We Review Titanic: The Legend Goes On Direct Download
The Emoji Movie (We're Sorry)
August 07, 2017 04:00 - 2 hours - 119 MBThis episode is alternatively titled " 2 Hours of Crosstalk" Spoilers for the episode: We hated this. This was not fun. Talking about it was almost fun. Seeing it was maybe the least fun there ever was. We review The Emoji Movie. Leave. Direct Download
The Treasure Planet
July 31, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour - 82.6 MBDon't let that image fool you. This film is something else. A nightmarish Hellscape to be specific; from the far off land of Bulgaria made in 1982. Which is JUST in time to create doubts about where Disney got their idea for a space themed Treasure Island. But which one comes out on top? Who's to say? We are! We review The Treasure Planet Direct Download
The Flight Before Christmas
July 17, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour - 90.2 MBThis movie is 90 percent less Christmasy than that image would have you believe. There is no Santa Helpers, only half a minute of Santa, no candy canes, no Christmas lights, no gingerbread cottage. There's plenty of gross CGI animation though. We review The Flight Before Christmas Direct Download
Annabelle's Wish
July 03, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour - 89.3 MBor uh Warning! Sexually Explicit Content in this episode. Seriously, if you think the word cum is Latin, skip this one. Otherwise we take on another Christmas movie for our impressive collection of holiday trash. And even though we consume this garbage multiple times a year, we aren't even close to putting a dent in our options, that's how much of this crap there is. We Review Annabelle's Wish Direct Download
The King and I
June 19, 2017 04:00 - 1 hour - 91.1 MBAn unbelievably outdated (that means racist) cartoon from waaaaaay too recent years. Request month continues with one of the worst things we've ever seen. I'm not gonna get too detailed with this one, other than it made us sick and we almost turned it off early...but if you want to see just how bad it is in less than 30 seconds... check out this clip that Seth thinks sums it up pretty well: Youtube Direct Download
Once Upon A Forest
June 05, 2017 03:51 - 1 hour - 92.2 MBWell our vacation is over and we're right back into the drudgery of our daily routines. We are kicking off again with a slew of Audience Requests and at the front of the line is perhaps our most, or at least one of our most requested movies. None of us can figure out why. Really. There is nothing at all in this movie. We Review Once Upon A Forest. Direct Download
Beauty and the Beast (2017)
March 20, 2017 03:00 - 1 hour - 80.4 MBWell its shattering box office records so I guess that means it must be good! Looks like we all have a live action Enchanted Christmas to look forward to in a few years. Which should give Ewan McGregor plenty of time to figure out what a French person sounds like. We review Beauty and the Beast. Direct Download
The Swan Princess
March 07, 2017 00:51 - 1 hour - 83.9 MBWe tackle a Disney knockoff before the latest self-inflicted Disney knockoff (Beauty and the Beast) hits theaters. The film that sparked the entire podcast finally worms its way into the lineup, with... pretty harmless results, honestly. At least for some. Except for that Jean-Bob! John Cleese is a nightmare in this! A straight up movie killing nightmare! Also I guess the title is 'the Swan princess' with just the one capital 'S' ... or maybe 'The Swan princess' What a mess. Dire...
Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs Evil
February 27, 2017 03:04 - 1 hour - 84.4 MBI like that Cheech and Chong get SO much more money than 95% of the rest of the cast. Including Patrick Warburton who doesn't even make it on the front of the poster. Cheech and Chong are in the movie for 4 minutes. MAXIMUM. 'Cheech' Marin and Tommy Chong are also two individual people with full names, but the movie poster can't be bothered with that. We review Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs Evil for no conceivable reason. Direct Download
Hoodwinked
February 12, 2017 18:10 - 1 hour - 104 MBWell... we tried to avoid this one. Thought we could get away with it if we never mentioned it BUT... alas..we've been found out and here we are. Jim Belushi is back in his 3rd movie with us...so that's great. That's way more Jim Belushi than I ever wanted in my life...but fine.

Ratchet & Clank
January 29, 2017 19:06 - 1 hour - 77.4 MBWe take a look at one of last year's biggest animated disappointments: Ratchet and Clank. Disappointment in the sense that it didn't do well... not so much that anyone was expecting anything good out of a Playstation Video Game Movie. Joining us on this episode is resident Markiplier look-alike, and malapropism enthusiast Adam Ford So lets jump in and tear this super long cut scene that for some inexplicable reason actually made it into theaters apart. Additionally I'm sorry about the...
Snow White (Not Disney)
January 16, 2017 05:00 - 1 hour - 56.8 MBSoak in that cover audience, because that is 100% of what we had to go on when starting this episode. You know what we knew, so lets dive in and see what the hell this thing is. and if you want to spoil it for yourself or watch it later, here are some links to what it wound up being. But its not Disney, I can tell you that much. Youtube 1 Youtube 2 Youtube 3 Youtube 4 Direct Download
Sing
January 08, 2017 23:14 - 1 hour - 65.8 MBDo you like being confused? Do you like being confused while listening to your broken iPod that's stuck on shuffle and it decides when the song starts and stops? Do you like doing all that while being overcharged for popcorn? Well then have I got the movie for you. Also... if you're gonna give your movie a title...make it something Googleable. Might as well call it Track 01 Unknown Artist if you're gonna call it 'Sing' I gotta type buzzwords in the description just to hope I get hits, l...
The Story of Santa Claus
December 19, 2016 05:00 - 1 hour - 72.6 MBIf you ever wanted a Christmas movie where Santa Claus bitch-slaps a wizard in front of his own son while soaring above the clouds in a magic sleigh than this is the movie for you. And if you ever wanted that than something is wrong with you. It stars Ed Asner (who would go on to play Santa Claus like 7 more times) and Tim Curry who has been in so many bad animated movies that we've reviewed I've honestly lost count. Oh and if anyone is curious we found some personal art work from the...
The Christmas Tree
December 05, 2016 04:18 - 1 hour - 97.7 MBI really hate Christmas now. Just...just flat out hate it. This is one of our most requested movies for our Christmas months so we finally saddled up to experience the mind numbing monotony that is The Christmas Tree. A movie that is more Dissolve-To-Black than actual film. Spoiler Alert: The DVD case doesn't make it out of the review entirely unscathed so... don't get too attached to that great box art. Direct Download
FreeBirds
November 23, 2016 03:51 - 1 hour - 88.9 MB... I think what the poster wanted to say was 'Hang on to your GIBLETS' but...they probably couldn't get away with that so they said 'nuggets' ... but I've never had Turkey Nuggets. Chicken Nuggets or McNuggets..those are a thing. This thing that the movie poster said isn't a thing. That should be a warning sign. I mean you can make turkey nuggets, but that's not the first thing I would word associate. Its Thanksgiving! Which is a holiday I don't really care about, at all. Will FreeBird...
FernGully 3 aka Epic
November 13, 2016 19:43 - 1 hour - 106 MBSeason Three of this comedic (that's being generous) animation themed podcast kicks off with an EPIC sequel to FernGully 2. A painfully derivative, exceptionally boring colorful waste of time. With Pitbull in it. and a Pug. (A group of which is called a grumble) and a Slug (A group of which is called a slog. Just like this movie!) Sound like a good time yet? Well...buckle up By the way a group of slugs is actually called a Cornucopia... which is too pretty a word for slugs. ...
Scooby-Doo and KISS: Rock and Roll Mystery/ Season Finale
October 31, 2016 03:59 - 1 hour - 99.4 MBOur 2nd Season comes to a close with a meek fizzle that only Kiss can provide. We review the nightmarish hell-scape that is Scooby-Doo and KISS, a film made in 2015! That's Two Thousand and Fifteen! KISS! and after that we discuss our lowest and highest points from this past year, and pick our Three Least Favorite films from the past year. And our Favorites. So feel free to turn this episode off halfway through! Also Happy Halloween! Direct Download
Scared Shrekless with special guest Adam Ford
October 17, 2016 04:00 - 1 hour - 83.3 MBWe press on throughout the month of Halloween heretofore referred to as October with a spooky 'film' starring Shrek and the gang. And what Shrek talk would be complete without special guest Adam Ford! who has nothing at all to do professionally with Shrek. But he loves it regardless We play a special edition of Fuck, Marry, Kill with Shrek because Adam willed it so. and we also discuss South Dakota's deeply rooted disdain for us. Fuck you South Dakota. We don't need you. We've got Wyo...
Batman: Assault on Arkham
October 03, 2016 04:00 - 1 hour - 80.9 MBIf you hated The Suicide Squad then you'll love its better, older, smaller budgeted, better scripted film. That I think the novelization of The Suicide Squad even stole from. I read an article about how the novel expanded on (industry code for 'made better') the backstories of the villains, and gave Killer Croc a fear of heights. Which King Shark displays in this film. So fuck your stupid ass Novel. Also Happy Halloween! We review Batman: Assault on Arkham Starring Kevin Conroy an...

September 05, 2016 18:06 - 1 hour - 92.9 MBOh Boy! Another big, loud, colorful disaster. Of course I'm talking about the Cartoon Lampoon Podcast.

Over the Hedge
June 13, 2016 22:18 - 1 hour - 95.7 MBIts another theme month here on the Cartoon Lampoon Podcast, even if it is starting a little late. Its the Summer of Love! and as such Lenny picked out two movies that he enjoys, but he feels aren't as popular (or well liked) as they should be. Will the other hosts agree with his sentiments? Or will they vomit with rage at having spent 2 hours watching a decade old Dreamworks film. Bet you can't guess which! This episodes Password is: Dreamworks Animation Cartoon William Shatner Com...

Shinbone Alley
May 23, 2016 04:22 - 1 hour - 73.2 MBListener request month comes to a close, which means almost nothing because we are still just gonna grab movies you all suggest to us. But I guess the concerted effort is over with for now. Grand Finale though! We cap it all off with Shinbone Alley...a movie you've likely never heard of. 2/3rds of our Podcast had never heard of it, so there's that. This is one of our jolliest episodes ever, so I guess Carol Channing brings out the best of us. Did she bring out the best in Shinbone Al...
We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story

Romeo and Juliet: Sealed with a Kiss
February 22, 2016 05:00 - 1 hour - 91.3 MBListener Request Month continues and its becoming more and more obvious that you, audience, do not like us. You want to hurt us. And you have. We review Phil Nibbleink's Romeo & Juliet Sealed with a Kiss, a poor, POOR attempt at adapting the greatest love story ever told, (At least it was the greatest until Attack of the Clones came out). An Attempt by the way that he made all by himself. Literally! One person, wrote, directed, and animated this movie. ALL BY HIMSELF. His wife helped pro...
