Knowing is Half the Podcast

Gina is off at some Crossfit Bachelorette Party somewhere in the mountains so we've imported everyone's favorite person Marshall Givens once again to talk this time about a very special episode of My Little Pony!

Hasbro's 'Girl' show has had quite a resurgence in the past few years, but does the original still cut the mustard?

In this case, the answer is....sorta maybe....but for different reasons than intended (Surprisingly unintended female empowerment!)

On this network special My Little Pony we've got some fantastic guest star performances and some very very forgiving ponies!

All that and a cast member of Chan's Sketch Show Pillow Monster, in this case Elisa Ellis, is with us to talk abnout it all!

Enjoy!!!

Lots of movies get cartoons made after them.

We've done plenty of strange crossovers; Robocop, Rambo, Beetlejuice...

But somehow we've never looked at the 1990 classic(?) Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

That ends today!

Let's explore the vast Disney multimedia empire a bit more this week!

The 90's brought us a lot of things from Presidential Scandal to Grunge Music to Problematic Comedy Movies!

Also it brought us a movie turned actual NHL Hockey Team turned Cartoon!

So let's for the 2nd time (Patreon Kids Remember) visit the Mighty Ducks cartoon and bask in the glory that was the 90's!!!

Gina went to Japan and ate all the snacks!

That leaves the minds behind the still unmade 'My 3 Dads' podcast to fill the void!

Did a Patreon Supporter suggest Pole Position, a cartoon based on the 1982 Atari Video Game?

Yes, yes they did.

So here is an episode of the 1984 Cartoon that we will generously describe as 'Loosely Based' on the game.

Enjoy!

Who remembers the Damon Wayans inspired cartoon from the 90's called Waynehead?

Oooo, that's not a lot of hands.

So it's that show where young Damon Wayans has a club foot and lives in the inner city, as conceived by a Canadian production team.

And everyone is kinda mean to each other and falling down is the pinnacle of comedy.

And people are horrible to their dogs.

Joey Pleasants is with us to explain why this show should be remembered, and how many woke lessons we can learn from it today!

Halloween may be over, but we’ve still got the creeps - um … besides Ray and Chan, we mean. With Nicole Villela sitting in for Gina, we got Mac Beauvais in to talk the ‘90s Addams Family!

We talk about Nicole’s possible burgeoning career as a professional wrestler, Mac’s monstrous new web series, Ray does a visual bit that baffles everyone in the room, and we get into the *second* time the Addamses have been cartoonized. With the OG Gomez, John Astin, Rip Taylor as Fester, and a monkey with a golf club! It’s like a fish without a bicycle only completely different. But also completely the same.

It's Thanksgiving and what better way to celebrate it than with a bunch of space aliens! I mean, Native Americans! Yes, we're doing a Bobby's World - the classic '90s cartoon centered around Howie Mandel's stand-up creation.

And we've got writer Sara Clarke-Chan who, as you would expect from a cartoon podcast, talks extensively about breastfeeding! Also, see if you can hear at what point the Lions game ends and Ray actually engages in the podcast! And listen as Gina tries to explain why Bobby isn't a self-centered prick!

This episode is the gift that keeps on giving! Thanks for listening!

The Old West is ripe for storytelling.

The Space Old West is untilled soil.

BraveStarr is a show we've mentioned before on the show, never watched. This ends now!

Does the future cowboy show hold up to future scrutiny!?

Mostly...yeah! This show is kinda BA.

Also, The People's Favorite Guest: Marshall Givens returns to bring the joy!

Special guest Nicole Villela takes us back to a magical time where bloated celebrity egos were best stroked by turning them into strangely unwatchable children's cartoons. Yes, the '90s!

Bruno the Kid stars a pint-sized version of Bruce Willis who also happens to be a top-notch secret agent, but really it's just an excuse for Willis to continue his "blues" career. Yes, those air quotes are intentional, though opinions differ on whether what he plays can be considered "blues" or if, in fact, it is the death knell of the entire genre.

We're in Egypt! France! The Orient Express! And Detroit! Yes, fabulous Detroit, home of such notable cultural locales as that wrestling ring where they hold chess matches with robots! For reals, you guys, this one is bananapants crazy.

Find Nicole on her own cartoon podcast where they dissect an ENTIRE SEASON of a cartoon every episode. Find it at TBToonz over at WhatsaCreative, where they have a whole host of other great shows. Like, subscribe, follow, donate, use our Amazon link and review us on iTunes! Thanks for listening!

Beetlejuice! Beetlejuice! B- eeeefore we summon up the clown prince of darkness, let’s introduce Meredith Wynne Morris who brought us this gem (?) from the early ‘90s. She’s got stories - boy has she got stories - and in this episode, you’ll find out why she sent us an unsolicited, all-caps text that just read “COUNT FUCKULA”.

We also discuss childhood fears (Ray was afraid of Beetlejuice; Meredith was afraid of Who Framed Roger Rabbit), Barb gets taken down a peg, and we discover Chan’s chemical composition (90% puns, 10% water).
