Ep 85: CatDog
January 25, 2016 03:00 - 1 hour - 115 MBWe are wrapping up the second installment of our month long New Year's Nicktoons with CatDog. Do you like Cats? Do you like Dogs? Do you like David Cronenberg style body horror? Then get ready for CatDog! I'm not even sure where to go with this one. Both Sean and Dave had a difficult time watching two things that are awesome independently (cats and dogs), yet are horrible when fused together at the waist. Double oy.
Ep 84: The Angry Beavers
January 18, 2016 03:00 - 1 hour - 124 MBIt never seems that Norbert and Daggett ever really get, truthfully, "angry" in a show that includes the word in the title. It's really not more than childish behavior and/or a slap fight; standing sibling rivalry. Dave and Sean build a damn dam in week three of our ongoing New Year's Nicktoons saga with "The Angry Beavers." We landed on an episode that placed Norb and Dag into a B horror film with Oxnard Montalvo (the beaver's hero) and a cast that includes a Toluca Lake, Man Servante, an...
Ep 83: Hey Arnold!
January 11, 2016 03:00 - 1 hour - 148 MBMove it, FOOTBALL HEAD! Sean and Dave are continuing their second week of our New Year's Nicktoons series with Hey Arnold!. The episode that we watch this week is a little bit of a departure from the normal series and should have been the series finale. We watched the 5th season episode "The Journal" that talks about Arnold's parents and the story of how he was born. It's touching, a little sad, and will leave you with 100 questions! So, kick back on your stoop and relax with this weeks ...
Ep 82: KaBlam!
January 04, 2016 03:00 - 1 hour - 136 MBHey there KaBlamoids! Did you have a good NYE?! We hope so because it's Dave and Sean's favorite time of the year; NEW YEAR'S NICKTOONS. This is the second installment and we can't wait to dig into these cartoon classics, starting off with KaBlam! Part variety show, part comic book, and all crazy town. KaBlam! brought us such classics as; Action League Now!, Bob and Prometheus, Life with Loopy, and Sniz and Fondue! Buckle up, for a KaBlamie time.
Ep 81: Jack Frost
December 28, 2015 03:00 - 1 hour - 131 MBSean and Dave are joined by our friend Joe Gallo to close out this year with the Rankin/Bass Christmas special, "Jack Frost." Who's that nipping at your nose? Is it 40 minutes of exposition and introductions to characters that are immediately tossed away? Or is it the criminally bad songs in this show that really got the three of us ready for the holidays? You decide! (Hint: D) all of the above.) "Jack Frost" is an innocent glimpse into what happens when you allow an immortal sprite to be...
Ep 80: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
December 21, 2015 03:00 - 1 hour - 133 MBClassic Christmas Cartoon time! Sean and Dave are joined by Lura Barber for some 100% pure Christmas magic with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Do Bumbles bounce? Does this show have an outrageous message of sexism? The answer to both questions is Yes. We re-watch this Rankin Bass classic and really dissect it as 30 year olds and ooooof; it's a crazy journey. We hope you enjoy the holiday season and definitely re-watch this classic for yourself!
Ep 79: Star Wars: Rebels
December 14, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBThis is SMC's FINAL week of our journey to a galaxy far far away! This week we're Force jumping into Star Wars: Rebels with Darth Max Nicholson from IGN, MTV, and Collider.com. The show is set after episode III and five years before episode IV A New Hope begins. If the design of the show feels a little different (very thin lightsabers and Zeb sort of resembles a Wookie), then it's because they used Ralph McQuarrie's original concept art that was developed back in the 70's. Enjoy our fin...
Ep 78: Star Wars: The Clone Wars
December 07, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 104 MBDave heads to Kamino to pick up the latest batch of clones; Sean and returning guests Tony Lazzeroni and Mike Visser. That's right! Week two and we're getting into Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Not to be confused with the Genndy Tartakovsky series called Clone Wars. (yup, not confusing at all) We're examining an episode with Anakin Skywalkers padawan named Ahsoka Tano. Grab your lightsaber and padawan braid as we Force Jump into Star Wars: The Clone Wars! May the Force Be with You!
Ep 77: Star Wars: Ewoks
November 30, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 112 MBSMC is kicking off three weeks of Star Wars, leading up to the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens! Our first installment is Star Wars: Ewoks. How does a show hold up when you remove all of the fun "force" related ideas and have a cartoon that almost solely centers around the Ewoks? (and has the WORST theme song ever?) We get into it this week on Saturday Mourning Cartoons. May the force be with you!
Ep 76: Noozles and Adventures of the Little Koala
November 23, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 127 MBThis week we're discussing two cartoons that were almost impossible for us to keep separate in our minds. They were both on television in Japan at the same time, and then they came to an audience in the USA where they were on the same channel back to back. Thankfully, we have our koala sherpa, the lovely and talented Allison Keene from Collider.com to help us make heads and (fuzzy) tails of these two shows; Noozles and Adventures of the Little Koala. Body shaming, inter-dimensional portals...
Ep 75: X-Men the Animated Series
November 16, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 116 MBIt's our 75th episode! ::party horn sound fx:: We are INCREDIBLY excited to review X-Men the Animated Series and we've invited our mutant expert, Evan Valentine from Collider.com, to join us. Get ready to learn about Cable, Bishop, and Apocalypse. This show is nuts but it's a classic 90's cartoon and we were all excited to jump back into our childhood memories of this show. Enjoy X-Men: the Animated Seres.
Ep 74: Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling
November 09, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 110 MB"SMC-mania is running wild, Brother!" - Hulk Hogan. This week the tag team duo of Sean and Dave are joined by our special guest Matt Barron. We're jumping off the turnbuckle with an atomic elbow to bring you Hulk Hogan Rock 'n' Wrestling. Oddly enough, for a show about a wrestler that has the word "wrestling'" in the name, there is zero wrestling in this show. Will this show get a three count or will it retain the championship belt and live and wrestle another day? Tune in!
Ep 73: Beast Wars: Transformers
November 02, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 102 MBDave and Sean get into Beast War: Transformers with friend of the show Matt Reuter! Matt remembered this show from his childhood and actually never watched the original Transformers as a kid, so it was great to get his reactions watching it now as an adult. This is a difficult one because the CG animation feels very wonky and everyone, we mean everyone, gets a catch phrase, plus the transformations should be described as "body horrors!" Despite all of this, it's a part of Transformers cano...
Ep 72: Groovie Goolies
October 26, 2015 04:00 - 58 minutes - 80.9 MBIt's the conclusion of SMC's Monster Madness Month! We're wrapping this monstrous month up with a cartoon from the early 70's called Groovie Goolies. Groovie Goolies feels like the child of tv shows Scooby Doo and Laugh -In. It's a lot of monster puns and quick jokes that feels very dizzy-ing. There's not a consistent story through the entire show. Instead it's a bunch of fast non-sequitars and A LOT of reused animation. Did Sean and Dave enjoy Groovie Goolies? Give a listen to the fin...
Ep 71: Mummies Alive!
October 19, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 86.4 MBSean and Dave are in San Francisco this week to discuss a new mummy exhibit that's on display. Uh oh! It turns out they're both reincarnations of Egyptian Princes. Now they both have four mummies guardians as their sworn protectors. If this sounds like a "right place, crazy-town time" scenario, then you get the essence of the Mummies Alive! cartoon. It's fast paced and everything transforms. Plus, you get the added explanation of all these crazy situations in one word; magic! I love it...
Ep 70: Courage the Cowardly Dog
October 12, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 97.3 MBDave and Sean get all SPOOKY for our Monster Month at Saturday Mourning Cartoons. We're kicking off this "monsterous" month with Courage the Cowardly Dog. This cartoon is a mix of anxiety, ignorance, and insanity and is billed as a horror-comedy. Dave remembered Courage very fondly but Sean had some mixed feelings to talk out during the episode. Enjoy the first of three installments for our Monster Month and please rate and review!
Ep 69: Jem and the Holograms
October 05, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 125 MBThis week Dave and Sean get truly outrageous with the help of Melanie Harker! Jem is a cartoon that will always be ingrained in our minds as a quintessential 80's cartoon. Jem is the perfect mix of fashion, music videos, and weird technology! And with a live action movie coming out at the end of October 2015, it was a MUST to revisit this classic. Jump onto your guitar shaped motorcycles and enjoy Jem and the Holograms!
Ep 68: Fillmore!
September 28, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 95 MBYou did it! You graduated from Saturday Mourning Cartoon Academy (not affiliated with San Francisco City College) and you are ready to receive your diploma. Has this accolade sunk in yet? Are you furthering your education (with more cartoons)? Have you started paying your SMC Academy loans? This week Dave and Sean watched Fillmore! a fantastic cartoon that flew under both of our radars. This show was created by Scott M. Gimple who is also the current showrunner for AMC's The Walking Dea...
Ep 67: ChalkZone
September 21, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 101 MBIt's the third week of SMC's "Back to School" September! Sean is joined by Tony Lazzeroni, director for Crowded Elevator Pictures, and Melanie Harker to weild the white lightning chalk and open a portal to ChalkZone. ChalkZone follows the adventures of Ruddy, a relatable 10 year old 5th grader who loves to draw. At school, Rudy is bullied by Reggie and befriend by a girl named Penny. ChalkZone has an amazing premise; unlock the potential of a young mind through his art and imagination. D...
Ep 66: Schoolhouse Rock!
September 14, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 96.7 MBSean and Dave are back to school AGAIN this week with Schoolhouse Rock! What an amazing an iconic show. We dive into three specific and notable educational cartoons; Conjunction Junction, Verb: it's what's happenin', and of course, I'm just a Bill. You'll smile from the nostaligia and then cringe at the US legistative process. Go and listen now because homeroom is in five minutes!
Ep 65: Recess
September 07, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 91.2 MBSchool is in session, so Sean and Dave are in class (already bored) and gearing up for RECESS! This little gem from Paul Germain and Joe Ansolabehere stars six extremely trope specific friends and their microcosm of a playground where they tackle difficult issue; friendship, loyalty, is today pizza day in the cafeteria. September kicks off SMC's "Back to School" month so join us for Recess and relive the nostalgia of the playground.
Ep 64: The Tick
August 31, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 98.1 MBDave and Sean are joined by Jason Schlafstein, of the DC based Flying V Theatre company, to talk about The Tick. Did you ever want a satirical comic book character introduced to you when you were in your formative teenage years? I'm positive the answer is yes, so you'll love The Tick. He's big, he's blue, and he yells SPOON has his warcry. Joined by his trusted side-kick Arthur, they set out together to save The City!
Ep 63: Star Wars Droids
August 24, 2015 04:00 - 1 hour - 91.4 MBDave and Sean are joined by Max Nicholson from IGN and MTV to talk about Star Wars: Droids! We watched Episode 5 "The Lost Prince" - Artoo and Threepio lose their new jobs waiting tables at Doodnik's café and end up as part of a droid auction. They soon find themselves working in a Keschell mine alongside an alien in disguise due to a bounty placed on his head. This episode was nuts had had about five different story lines running concurrently. Also, a member of the band The Police wrote th...
