Saturday Morning Deathgrip

Episode 37- David the Gnome
February 05, 2015 18:50 - 1 hour - 148 MBIt's a very special Saturday Morning Deathgrip, as this serves as our finale. We watched the final episode of 'David the Gnome' in which he and his wife decide that they're too old and need to die. Yep. That happened. We are also joined by ALMOST EVERY GUEST WE'VE EVER HAD. Our booking agent, Mort Fischerman, decided to sacrifice his spirit in order to revive every guest. If you've ever wondered how Shades from 'Denver the Last Dinosaur' is doing as a human toilet, you can find out. If you...
Episode 36- Talespin
January 02, 2015 12:16 - 58 minutes - 79.9 MBIt might be New Years, but according to the Catholic calendar, it's still Christmas until January 4, so we're still celebrating. And how are we doing it? Disney Afternoon-style, with Talespin and the episode "A Jolly Molly Christmas". Listen in as we discuss such topics as what David Lynch's Talespin would have looked like, the actual failures of the business practices of Higher for Hire, what you call the piece of wood a pontoon boat lands next to (certainly not a dock), and whether certai...
Episode 35- Batman the Animated Series
December 16, 2014 19:54 - 1 hour - 87.5 MBWe're back, with SLEIGHbells on. That's right- we celebrate the Holidays (all of them, Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanza, Memorial Day...) by watching a Christmas epsidoe of one of the greatest shows ever produced, Batman: The Animated Series. Call it a present to ourselves, but we just decided to wtach a legitimately good show. And we were not disappointed. Listen in as the lyrics to "Kiss From a Rose" which totally make sense are dramatically read, while we also,the naming conventions of Gotham...
Episode 34- Life with Louie
December 02, 2014 15:45 - 1 hour - 83.8 MBWell, it's a tiny bit past Thanksgiving, but that won't stop us from "celebrating" with a Thanksgiving episode of a show none of us wanted to watch: Life with Louie! While none of us could tell you exactly what Louie Anderson's standup involves, we can tell you we thought his voice was already the worst, until we remembered his voice as a child. In this episode we discuss so much, including how sweet Edie McClurg seems, the oddness of an early 60s-set cartoon that aired in the mid-90s, why ...
Episode 33- Back to the Future
November 11, 2014 19:18 - 1 hour - 93.7 MBGreat Scott! It's a trite intro! Yes this month we sat down and brought back from the past... Back To The Future the Animated Series. A show that was made after a great movie, but as we learned, unlike Scott, not all things are great. We also learn that Giancarlo could not be a part of the episode because of an acute case of being lazy, a condition his doctors called, "a waste of their time." We also learn his closest friend in the world is probably our interview guest, who happens to be...
Episode 32- Goosebumps
October 27, 2014 14:17 - 1 hour - 56.3 MBAs we come to the climax of this month of terror, we watched the scarily insane "Attack of the Jack O'Lanterns" from the 90s live-action Goosebumps. Actually, Tim might not like our use of the word "climax." There are a lot of things Tim might not like in this episode, seeing as he has the sensibility of a normal human and it's possible that the rest of the SMDGers, in explaining why he's missing this episode, might go a little far... you be the judge, once your ears stop bleeding. For the f...
Episode 31- The Real Ghostbusters
October 09, 2014 23:42 - 1 hour - 57.8 MBAs the air turns crisps and people start putting cooky faces on pumpkins, it can only mean one thing- we have to check our episodes from last year to figure out how we do Halloween episodes. And this time, we do Halloween with The Real Ghost Busters (the space is canonical, look it up!) and the episode "When Halloween Was Forever." In this episode, we are playing a man (or WO-man, as it is) short, but we do our best to make up for it by talking about more nonsense than usual. We discuss the...
Episode 30- Columbo Jr
September 26, 2014 02:32 - 1 hour - 64 MBOn this week's episode of Saturday Morning Deathgrip, we watched a true rarity- the much beloved but oft forgotten animated gem - Columbo Jr. That's right, Hollywood allowed the fantastic team up of Hanna Barbera and the late, great Peter Falk and produced a Saturday morning cartoon based on LA's best homicide detective and his precocious nephew. In this go-round, we talked about what the Harlem Globetrotters really sound like, the ins and outs of pun making, how much baseball Steve Harvey...
Episode 29- Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers
September 08, 2014 11:37 - 1 hour - 57 MBAfter a short summer break, SMDG is back and we treated ourselves to a cartoon that is made by people who had bother resources and evident desire to make a quality program, the fine folks who brought us Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers, a show that feels like it should have a colon or a possessive in the title, but doesn't! And it's Tim's favorite RR episode, "The Case of the Cola Cult" (it's because of this song right here.) In this episode, we discover the startling similarities between NB...
Episode 28- Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
August 14, 2014 11:21 - 1 hour - 62.3 MBFor this week's Saturday Morning Death Grip, to the delight of everyone but a deeply indifferent Andrea, we watched an episode of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, "Convicts from Dimension X." And for that, we can also be considered heroes (though sadly we are not in half-shells). Should you decide to hit "play," you'll be treated to VERY accurate impressions of absent co-host Sean, revelations about how Mickey Rooney was the original Splinter and the origins of everyone's favorite cartoon, Nu...
Episode 27- SMDG Live!
July 23, 2014 23:01 - 54 minutes - 50 MBOur long plugged, much anticipated live show came and went on July 12. We had a warm yet intimate (gross) audience come out and join us, and we appreciate it! We were also joined by Pete Lepage (Comic Book Club Live). This episode's format was a tiny bit different, as rather than review a single episode of anything, we pulled some of the most insane clips from the shows we've reviewed. You can visit our webpage (unless you're reading this at the site, so then look around...) and we will hav...
Episode 26- "My Little Pony Tales"
July 07, 2014 23:05 - 1 hour - 62.9 MBIn this week’s episode of Saturday Morning Deathgrip, the gang is once again tortured by another of Giancarlo’s terrible suggestions – My Little Pony Tales. At this point, we’re relatively certain that Giancarlo’s entire being goes against the Geneva Convention. And, as soon as this post goes live, we will look into having him charged with some war crimes. Fortunately, while we’re getting Giancarlo deported to The Hague, you can feast your ears on scintillating discussions regarding horse...
Episode 25- C.O.P.S.
June 15, 2014 18:28 - 58 minutes - 53.7 MBOn this week's episode of Saturday Morning Deathgrip we watched C.O.P.S. and unlike many of cartoons we put ourselves through, this show was surprisingly un-horrible for a change. In addition to learning about Empire City and it's cybernetic team of law enforcers, we also learned that Giancarlo doesn't know what the word "slobberknocker" means and joins a long list of many, many other words. However, that is not the only shameful fact that gets revealed, as we also learn that Sean is from ...
Episode 24- Blondie
May 30, 2014 16:59 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBIn this latest episode of SMDG, Giancarlo manages to trick the rest of the gang into watching a cartoon version of the comic strip Blondie. We quickly discover why only two episodes were ever produced. And we come to the conclusion that Giancarlo is never to be trusted again (in fairness, we should have come to this realization years ago). As Giancarlo tries in vain to defend his choices and Blondie’s artistic sensibilities, we manage to broach the staunch conservatism of Tim’s hometown n...
Episode 23- Godzilla
May 15, 2014 04:01 - 54 minutes - 37.6 MBIn this latest episode of SMDG, we continue paying homage to upcoming films (we are addicted to homage!) as we subject ourselves to the cartoon version of Godzilla, co-produced by Tim's beloved Hanna-Barbera. The only bright spot is that the show might have helped to curb our aforementioned homage addiction. In other words, Godzilla could possibly be cartoon methadone. Of course, fear not; we move far beyond the potential palliative effects of Godzilla. Indeed, we address the rumors that Gi...
Episode 22- Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends (plus some X-Men)
May 02, 2014 05:13 - 1 hour - 42.2 MBIn honor of the upcoming films Amazing Spider-Man 2 and X-men: Days of Future Past, we (foolishly) decide to once again test the waters of Spider-man and His Amazing Friends. We were promised a crossover with X-men. And, as you can imagine, this promise was only partially delivered. However, we do manage to push through the heartbreak to discuss the type of pants Juggernaut may or may not wear, Aunt May's stress levels while unknowingly hosting the X-Men and whether or not a quickie can ca...
Episode 21- Camp Candy
April 15, 2014 22:38 - 1 hour - 49.3 MBFor today's episode we watch the 90's camping "classic" Camp Candy, a show about a camp owned by Canadian comediean John Candy with no explanation as to why Canadian comedian John Candy owns a camp. It's a real doozy! And by "doozy" we mean, "Uuuuugh." Join us as we discuss how to actually pronounce M. Nigh Shyamalan's name properly. Giancarlo pitches his script "Horsey: the Magical Flying Horse" which doesn't get the reception he's looking for, while Tim and Sean might just ruin Gianca...
Episode 20- He-Man and the Masters of the Universe
March 31, 2014 13:35 - 1 hour - 44.9 MBFor today's epsiode, we watched the "classic" animated series, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. And we can all thank Filmation for making the term "classic" hold no meaning for us. Listen in as we discuss the complexities of smartphone map systems. We also learn about Giancarlo's (not so) secret fantasies about robot horse/non-robot human relations. All of this is in an effort to not really focus on "Origin of the Sorceress," the somewhat confusing and convoluted episode focusing ...
Episode 19- Snorks
March 17, 2014 03:18 - 55 minutes - 31.6 MBIn this episode, we return to the unrelenting mediocrity of Hanna-Barbera in the 80s by watching The Snorks. This time around, we talked about a terrible clarinet and snare drum quartet Andrea was in in 6th grade that played Bryan Adams "Everything I Do (I Do It For You)", Tim and GC play by the syntactical rules of The Snorks while singing the theme to a much better show. If you do'nt know those syntactical rules, don't worry, we help you out with that, just like the shows, by strictl...
Episode 18- Robocop
March 01, 2014 03:57 - 1 hour - 37.2 MBIn honor of the new Robocop, we watched an episode of the animated Robocop, our second straight R-rated movie turned into a kids cartoon. What a world we live in, right? This time around, we learn Andrea's nickname, which has led her to legal trouble, Giancarlo fantasizes about some sexy cartoon ladies (never done that before, right?), some of us try to one up each other on Nixon references, and we talk about X-men for the thousandth time on a episode that's not at all about the X-men. Yes,...
Episode 17- Rambo
February 15, 2014 01:00 - 59 minutes - 33.9 MBWe are back and we are once again down one host. But luckily, we have four hosts normally, so it's not like there are awkward pauses. And one of the remaining host most certainly doesn't leave in the middle of the recording but gets edited in a way that makes it appear that she is there the whole time... certainly not! In this week's episode, we watched the pilot of one of the very first children's cartoons based upon an R-rated movie- "Rambo". Because what makes for better kid's cartoon th...
Episode 16- Muppet Babies
January 31, 2014 15:44 - 54 minutes - 31 MBHey everybody, we're back with a new episode. We really turned our formula on its ear by watching something we enjoyed, an episode of Muppet Babies. During this episode, we're a man down, as someone had the unmitigated gall to be sick and not present. But the remainder of the team carried on, stalwart and bold, like the fearless troopers we are. Anywho, in this episode you will thrill as we discuss Sean's potential contraction of Space AIDS, Tim discusses his unabiding love of June Cleave...
Episode 15- Ewoks
January 17, 2014 19:22 - 1 hour - 86.6 MBHello there Grippers (a new name for our fan base, we’re just trying it out), because if there is anything we learned from this cartoon, it’s how much nicknames help make sense of everything. In today’s episode we watched the pilot episode of the 1985 Ewoks cartoon/forest fire PSA entitled, “The Cries of the Trees.” Listen as we talk about the Ewoks’ love of certain presentation styles, their love of their own confusing language and their love of dropping manure on other Ewoks. They’re a...
Episode 14- Alvin and the Chipmunks
December 31, 2013 17:28 - 59 minutes - 34.3 MBWe extend a belated (thanks to some computer issues) Christmas present to everyone, a second holiday episode of Saturday Morning Deathgrip. For this episode, we watched the episode of Alvin & the Chipmunks called "Merry Christmas, Mr. Carroll" which you'd never guess from the title, but it's an adaptation of Dicken's A Christmas Carol. In this episode we discus The Codcast (check your local listings!), who David Seville is not related to, the saddest old man in pop culture history, Richa...
Minisode 14- Interview with Simon and Theodore from "Alvin & the Chipmunks"
December 31, 2013 17:16 - 14 minutes - 8.42 MBIn this excerpt from episode 14, we have an interview with two-thirds of the Chipmunks- Simon and Theodore. We hear about their take on thier films, reading in English, chemical weapons to protect America's freedoms, and the beauty of the holiday Chipmunkakah. If you enjoy this, why not listen to all of episode 14?
Episode 13- X-men
December 13, 2013 13:54 - 1 hour - 42.7 MBWe sure do love Holiday episodes, don't we? Because here we are with a Christmas episode of SMDG. And what a Christmas it is. We, in fact, had ourselves a Morlock little Christmas, as we watched the episode of X-men "Have yourself a Morlock Little Christmas". We bucked our normal trend of watching things we despise by watching something we (at least three of us) genuinely love. But that doesn't mean we had nothing to talk about. I even think we avoided getting too technically detailed for...
Minisode 13.5- Interview with Callisto from "X-men"
December 13, 2013 13:43 - 14 minutes - 9.61 MBExcerpt from Episode 13 in which we interview Callisto, leader of the Morlocks, from the "X-men". Callisto is doing about as well as you'd expect from a physically scarred, one-eyed, sewer-dweller. We even find out what happened to her eye, and her Twain-like origins from before she made it to New York and moved into the realm of the DPW. If you enjoy this, why don't you listen to the full episode?
Episode 12- Care Bears
November 27, 2013 22:16 - 51 minutes - 35.4 MBHey folks. It's late November, the trees have all changed, there is turkey on our tables, Black Fridays that for some reason start on Thursday or even Wednesday at K-Mart, and we watched a Thanksgiving episode of an 80's classic, Care Bears. By classic, we mean, why did anyone watch this ever? In this episode we discuss at length the horrible idea of naming two of your characters "hugs" and "tugs", the importance of the traditional Thanksgiving speech in front of the whole town, how a small...
Minisode 12- Interview with Hugs and Tugs from "Care Bears"
November 27, 2013 21:49 - 12 minutes - 8.62 MBAn excerpt from Episode 12 of Saturday Morning Deathgrip, wherein we watched a Thanksgiving episode of Care Bears. Mort Fisherman, our booking agent, landed us not one, but two stars of the show, the baby Care Bears, Hugs and Tugs. We got some milage out of their names on the actual show, but here we just learn what the two tikes have been up to, we hear a couple of their original songs, the sad economic state of Cloud City (not Lando's sadly), and the official hugs of countries around the ...
Episode 11- Jem and the Holograms
November 19, 2013 12:41 - 57 minutes - 32.7 MBFriends, we are back and we watched the most Eighties show that ever Eightied, "Jem and the Holograms." We watched the pilot episode, which, unbeknownst to us, was a two-parter, so we have no clue how the story ends. I don't know when our collective rear ends will be off the collective edges of our collective seats, but, boy oh boy, cliffhanger tension! In this episode you can thrill as we (the three guys) try to talk much more about the X-men cartoon from the 90s (including the world's gr...
Minisode 11.75- Interview with Synergy from "Jem and the Hologram"
November 19, 2013 12:23 - 8 minutes - 4.71 MBAn excerpt from Episode 11. Here our booking agent booked the mastermind behind Jem and the Holograms, The X-Man Morph Synergy the computer. We get some great updates on what she's been doing, and she's really branched into a more hands-on role in the music production world. We also learn that Jem and the Holograms are big on the N.K-pop scene, but that may be a political front. Oh, also, Synergy apparently was the Tupac hologram, so there's that too. Listen, and if you like what you've he...
Minisode 11.5- Jem and the Holograms Intro Outtakes
November 16, 2013 12:51 - 4 minutes - 2.65 MBEpisode 11 is slightly delayed (look for it soon, though). But there was a moment that fit nicely as a peek behind the curtain at SMDG- the struggles of coming up with unscripted procedural material! Thrill as we all cheer Andrea on as she attempts valiantly to introduce Episode 11. She getst here. She's a trooper.
Episode 10- Garfield's Halloween Adventure
October 31, 2013 14:12 - 27.2 MBIt's still Halloween season so our spooktacular celebration of Halloween continues with Garfield's Halloween special "Garfield's Halloween Adventure" aka "Garfield in Disguise". Our discussion (for some reason) begins and ends with ABC TV's "The Middle" but also how terrifying this special actually was to a five year old kid (extremely), the delightful sounds of Lou Rawls (or possibly Dr. John, one of them), the surprisingly violent ways the Garfield captures lasagna, some general hatred ...
Minisode 10.5- Interview with Odie from "Garfield in Disguise"
October 31, 2013 14:07 - 9 minutes - 95.7 MBThis is the interview excerpt from our Spooktacular Halloween Episode 10 "Garfield in Disguise" where we interview our biggest star yet, Odie! Our booking agent, Mort Fisherman, the details of whom get darker and darker and each time we chat, secured for us Odie, Garfield's canine friend. We find out so much about the loveable dog, who is surprisingly unlike his television and comic strip character. The gracious Odie spends some quality time with us, shares some behind the scenes stuff, and...
Episode 9- Pac-Man
October 20, 2013 03:52 - 52 minutes - 30.3 MBIt's Halloween season, which means only one thing- it's mid- to late- October! In honor of the season, we watched the Halloween episode of Pac-Man which had the segments "Pacula" and "Trick or Chomp." In this episode, we compare Andrea to Vincent D'Onofrio in Full Metal Jacket, we name-check some listerners, and discuss the seasonally-appropriate horror of what Lark Voorhies has turned herself into, our collective regret that "Pacula" was not a Pac-pun of "Scott Bakula," the no-doubt exci...
MInisode 9.5- Interview with Inky from "Pac-Man"
October 20, 2013 03:44 - 11 minutes - 6.8 MBThis is an excerpt from Episode 9, with an interview with Inky the Ghost Monster from the animated series "Pac-Man" (not to mention some video games). Mort Fisherman, our booking agent, is praised, and then Inky dishes on what it's like to be a Ghost in the Pac-World and how that differs from the ghosts of our world. as well as who the living version of Inky was. As ever, it's a hard-hitting interview with some real big answers to real big questions. If you listen to this but not the full...
Episode 8- Captain N: The Gamemaster
October 07, 2013 04:43 - 56 minutes - 32.2 MBWe're back with a new episode. It is the very first episode that features fewer than the full lineup of Deathgrippers. But Sean, Andrea and Giancarlo do tell you where Tim is. He's not dead, that much this podcast description can tell you. In today's episode, we watched the pilot episode of "Captian N: The Gamemaster," which is either a big Nintendo ad, possibly Nintendo's attempt to remake "The Big Chill" with its characters or maybe even Joseph Campbell's response to Star Wars. We explore...
Minisode 8.5- Interview with Megaman from "Captain N: The Gamemaster"
October 07, 2013 04:34 - 7 minutes - 4.04 MBExcerpt from Saturday Morning Deathgrip Episode 8 in which we interview Megaman, costar of "Captain N: The Gamemaster." Megaman tells us what he's been up to since the end of the show, how he got the part, his litigious lifestyle, as well as his possibly overly suggestive lifestyle with his robot dog. He also talks about the difficuties of being an adult male robot trapped in a 10 year old boy robot body. If you enjoy the excerpt, why don't you check out the WHOLE EPISODE?
Episode 7- "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends"
September 23, 2013 02:16 - 58 minutes - 35.6 MBWelcome back, we sound semi-professional now! For today's episode, we watched "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends" episode "Video Man". We talked about overly complex death traps, the awful Miss Lion, tight cartoon buns, an important PSA about the scourge of "razorballs", and a visit from star of "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends", Flash Thompson. Thanks for listening!
Minsode 7.5- Interview with Flash Thompson from "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends"
September 23, 2013 02:08 - 8 minutes - 4.97 MBIn this excerpt from Episode 7 of Saturday Morning Deathgrip, we interview Flash Thompson from "Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends". Of course Flash, being the bully and overall jerk, is neither "amazing" or a "friend" to "Spider-Man" (who is also not). But Flash does share with us where he's been the last few years, as well as his undying love of sandwiches! Tune in. Unless you've listened to Episode 7, then don't, because you've heard this...
Episode 6- Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling
September 04, 2013 20:58 - 59 minutes - 36.8 MBWe are back with audio that sounds competent! The show we watched was 1985's "Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling" which is not as good as we remembered, and most of us didn't remember it being good. In the course of our discussion, we talk about just how terrible animation and writing can be, Sean breaks down the anatomy of terrible sketch, using the show's live-action interstitials as an example, the joys of marching in Tampa, Andre the Giant's carelessness with details when giving rubdowns, ...
Minisode 6.5 Interview with "Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling"'s 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper
September 04, 2013 20:55 - 7 minutes - 4.34 MBAn excerpt from Episode 6, where we talk with cartoon 'Rowdy' Roddy Piper, the primary villain (or heel, if you will) of the 1985 cartoon "Hulk Hogan's Rock 'n' Wrestling". There are a few jokes which you may not understand if you don't listen to the whole episode. Like when Giancarlo asks for a "rubdown". It's not as gross as it sounds.
Episode 5- Bots Master
August 21, 2013 16:22 - 52 minutes - 30.7 MBWe're back with another edition of Saturday Morning Deathgrip. Courtesy of Giancarlo's apparently demented childhood, it was Laser Time as we watched the pilot episode of "Bots Master," a show designed for people who loved early 90s hip hop but may have thought that "Do the Urkel" was both too risque in lyrical content and too subdued in musical construction. In today's episode, our topics include Andrea's staunch Libertarianism, the perfect Kevin Costner movie, people with names that are, ...
Minisode 5.5- Interview with Bots Master's Lady Frenzy and Doctor Hiss
August 21, 2013 16:14 - 7 minutes - 4.43 MBIn this excerpt from Episode 5, our agent, Mort Fisherman, landed us interviews with two of the heavies from "Bots Master", Lady Frenzy and Doctor Hiss. A real coup, even though, sure, not everyone remembers Bots Master and sure, these two seem to have fallen on some rough times. Everything we do here makes sense, don't question it.
Episode 4- Denver the Last Dinosaur
August 07, 2013 11:27 - 54 minutes - 32.8 MBIn our latest episode, we turn our attention (and our occasionally wonky audio) to the 80s biggest innovation in television animation: the syndicated cartoon. The honor goes to none other than the Denver the Last Dinosaur episode, "Chinatown Caper." We talk a lot about Chinatown architecture, cats shaped like Rihanna and we get to sit down for a very real and disturbing interview with a surprise guest star from the show. Thanks for listening!
Minisode 4.5- Interview with Denver the Last Dinosaur's Shades
August 07, 2013 11:00 - 11 minutes - 4.9 MBWe've added a new section to the podcast, the character interview. We've decided to excerpt it, to act as a sort peak into our 55 minutes of rambling, without having to listen to the whole thing! You know- for the kids! If you are listening to or you plan on listening to Episdoe 4, this is a direct excerpt, so feel free to pass by this one. If you're lookig for a small sample at the podcast buffet, this is for you! This time, we interview Denver's pal Shades from the show.
Episode 3- Monster in My Pocket
July 22, 2013 11:26 - 48 minutes - 21 MBOur third episode, with more marginally improved sound quality! Today, we watched the 1992 special "Monster in my Pocket" (a title we may or may not struggle to get 100% correct). Not only do we discuss the reasons this might not have made it as a series, we also talk about some bizarre interpretations of classic monsters (Dracula hypnotizing through a ring? Woody Allen the mummy? An anthropomorphic pile of feces?), the show's inappropriate use of Jamaican culture, the proper classificatio...
Episode 2- X-men: Pryde of the X-men
July 02, 2013 11:48 - 55 minutes - 25.3 MBWe're back with episode 2- now with slightly better audio quality (we're gettig there; give us a break, we're new at this). For episode 2 we watched the 1987 pilot for a unproduced X-men series "Pryde of the X-men". The conversation includes a LOT about the X-men, what circuits looks like, the sensibility of destroying a planet you want to conquer, the disturbing concept of "Hulking out" with middle-aged women, and the always appropriate discussion of Josef Fritzi. Thanks for listening!
Episode 1- Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue
June 11, 2013 03:52 - 56 minutes - 32.5 MBThe very first Saturday Morning Deathgrip- a podcast where four adults watch and discuss saturday morning cartoons from the 80s and 90s. Today, we discuss "Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue," the 1990 anti-drug PSA featuring stars of the era's most popular cartoons. Topics include an awful lot on the plot of the show, how poor our Winnie the Pooh impressions are, how much George C Scott sounds like Robert Loggia, the dangers of cerebral spinal fluid leaking out of your nose, the possibility ...
