August 23, 2021A Special Presentation 100: Garfield's Judgement Day w/ Dungeonmaster11, Rocketshark & PoundforpoundcakeWow!!!!! Can you believe we've been doing this show for 100 episodes? To celebrate, we're mixing it up by looking at a comic property that NEVER got adapted. It's Garfield's Judgement Day, the story that Jim Davis hoped Disney would turn into a theatrical film! Spoiler: They didn't. But Dungeonmaster11, Rocketshark & Poundforpoundcake join us for a live reading of the associated picture book and this is the closest you'll probably ever get....more2h 16minPlay
August 16, 2021A Special Presentation 99: Shinbone AlleyYou know Archy the cockroach from all those old Scholastic books about 'Insects Do the Strangest Things' where they were desperate to think of a famous cockroach to name check. Archy and his pal Mehitabel, the slutty cat, were characters created by newspaper columnist Don Marquis in 1906. Many collections of Archy and Mehitabel stories were illustrated by George Herriman, the creator of Krazy Kat. And that's enough excuse to watch the very 70s Archy and Mehitabel adaptation, Shinbone Alley!...more1h 15minPlay
August 09, 2021A Special Presentation 98: Snuffy Smith (2 of 2)This week, we take a deep dive into the world of Snuffy Smith, that beloved hillbilly who ganked his comic from Barney Google.

You remember those, right?...more1h 4minPlay

July 26, 2021A Special Presentation 96: Mother Goose Rock and Rhyme (2 of 2)Not a lot of rocking or a lot of rhyming going on in this all-star extravaganza about the adventures of Mother Goose's son Gordon (ok) trying to save his mother who was kidnapped by... aliens? Sort of? The important thing is that this surprisingly music-free film stars Cyndy Lauper, Debbie Harry, ZZ Top, Little Richard, Bobby Brown, Paul Simon, and Art Garfunkel....more1h 18minPlay

July 12, 2021A Special Presentation 94: In Search of Dr. Seuss (2 of 2)The Seuss is loose! This week, we return to the life of that famous cartoonist (and possibly less famous children's author) Dr Seuss. But instead of an adaptation of his work, we're looking at "In Search of Dr. Seuss," a 1994 made-for-TV documentary extravaganza about the life and times of Dr. Seuss, starring Kathy Najimy, Patrick Stewart, Robin Williams, Christopher Lloyd, and Max Headroom himself -- Matt Frewer -- as the cat in the hat....more1h 32minPlay

Ahhh such words of wisdom from everyone's favorite blockhead in this, the animated adaptation of the stage musical about Snoopy. Special guest star Mike Westfall of Advent Calendar House joins us to discuss the Peanuts special where Snoppy... talks?!?! A talking beagle!?!?!?...more1h 35minPlay
June 21, 2021A Special Presentation 91: Garfield's Fun FestAfter the insanity of Garfield Gets Real, Garfield's Fun Fest seems relatively subdued... assuming that you've seen Garfield Gets Real and remember that this direct sequel -- because it is, in fact, a direct sequel -- takes place in a very specific Garfield AU. Also important? It's not really about a Fun Fest. Like, at all. We can only assume that Jim Davis has never been to a fest. But the more important thing? We have a Twitter now and you can follow us at @No_Alf_Tonight !!!...more1h 37minPlay
