In this week's episode, Dave Lee (Youtube.com/daveleedownunder) joins in the fun to discuss the recent "contwoversy" surrounding the NO GUN policy within the Looney Tunes Cartoons. Plus, we take a look into an episode of the new series featuring Elmer Fudd without a gun, Sylvester and Tweety on Ice and a Road-Runner short to review just how brilliant it is. These are the episodes we watched from The Looney Tunes Cartoons! (Pain in the Ice, Tunnel Vision, Pool Bunny) We also discuss the latest character reveal in the Looney Tunes: World of Mayhem game, Revenant Road-Runner!

Looney Tunes Cartoons Controversy: No Guns!

This news has taken the nation by storm, even though it really shouldn't have as there are many, many more pressing issues to be concerned about. But Elmer Fudd and Yosemite Sam will not be sporting their fire arms in this new series and I, for one and perfectly ok with that.

Pain in the Ice - Tweety and Sylvester are at it again and this time, it's on ice. The gags and execution here are strong and quick leading to many memorable moments and surprises. I really enjoyed the character work in this and the way the team utilized the setting to its full potential. Starring Tweety (Eric Bauza), Sylvester the Cat (Jeff Bergman) and Granny (Candi Milo).

3.5/5 Carrots!

Tunnel Vision - A Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner short based around the classic gag of painting a road on the side of a rock.
The water color backgrounds and amazing animation of its central characters stand out strong in this outing, but it's the creative spin they put on the gag that make it stand a cut above.

3/5 Carrots!

Pool Bunny - When Bugs Bunny (Eric Bauza) travels to the desert during a heat wave, its Elmer Fudd's (Jeff Bergman) pool that becomes the prime vacationing location. The two have such grand chemistry and the way the comedy just rolls off of their vitriol is palpable. The gags come fast and furious and each one elevates the picture as a whole. BRING THE KIDS!

Did you agree or disagree about the gun policy in place? Does this tarnish any part of Elmer Fudd or Yosemite Sam for you? Do you have HBO MAX? What were your thoughts on the shorts we discussed?
