Scooby Dudes

The Scooby Dudes have released 50 episodes or so, each featuring a theme song stating plainly that their podcast is for dudes, ladies, and those who fall under the LGBTQ umbrella. Not content to reserve their support to a song, they're taking some time to celebrate LGBT Pride Month (a timely three weeks in).

Hopefully you don't get seasick, because there's discussion of ships galore. Daphne and Velma? Fred and Shaggy? Even the Great Dane himself is discussed in an episode critics have been alternately calling "worryingly under-researched" and "a gay old time"!

"Who is Ibtisam Brown?" you may be thinking. Who is this person who is so deserving as to be a guest on this podcast, let alone the first ever? That's a pretty intense line of questioning that could be answered if you just listened in, but it's true that the purpose of this description is to, as the name suggests, describe the episode.

This very special episode of Scooby Dudes features someone who is very important to Evan. If they didn't exist it's safe to say that his relationship with Luke wouldn't be nearly as close as it is today. It would somehow be closer, and that would be terrible.

Not only is this episode focused on an entire film, it's also live action! The podcast format this time around is more review than recap! Evan is very sick and all of his coughs have been left in! Luke is 100% his normal self!

Join your daring duo as they dive deep into "Daphne & Velma", voraciously validating (not vilifying) the previously viewed video. Not only that, but they record roughly as much content as the film itself, making this a really confusing audio commentary track if you play it at the same time you watch the movie.

This episode of Scooby Dudes, which recaps an episode of "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!" is dedicated to anyone out there who might be waiting out an hours-long layover, or battling a great deal of much-deserved frustration towards a certain transportation company that (ironically) derives its name from a speedy breed of dog.

May we all hope that justice, of the poodle variety or otherwise, is brought towards those responsible for this being uploaded far, far later than any other episode to date. Amen.

When they first put this podcast together co-hosts Luke and Evan decided that it would never bear an explicit tag, which did not stop them from getting as close to the line as possible. On that note, the previous episode actually marks the first time they felt they needed to use that designation.

This week, however, they have opted for judicious use of bleeps to censor (or Hyde) jokes that are quite certainly too dicey for most. And all of that while recapping an installment of "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!", a series that truly is fun for the whole family.

The Scooby Dudes just wanna party, party just for you. They just want the money (preferably in their Patreon account), money just for them. One of the two has listened to "This is America" too many times, and may or may not have had it playing while writing this.

Speaking of songs, returning to 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo means yet another spirit to snag and stuff back into that chest, with plenty of musical numbers along the way. Join your pair o' normal hosts as they join the gang down in Morocco, where the sun is hot and the camels walk-O.

With all due respect and apologies to Willard Carroll Smith Jr., Luke and Evan take a break from the Scooby-Doo recaps to sit down and ask each other a few deep and meaningful questions. Given their 14+ years of friendship there can't possibly be anything left that they don't know about each other, can there?

Really, the two co-hosts barely prepared for what turned out to be a thoroughly entertaining episode. Not only do they reach an all-time high with the food talk (surprising given Scooby and Shaggy's voracious appetites) and stay completely on-brand. This is some of Scooby Dudes at its absolute best.

The Scooby Dudes kick things off with a tongue twister and wrap them up with a frank and rather sobering discussion on HBO's Westworld. It's the television phenomenon so powerful that even speaking the title must be done so in a whisper. Or at least that's what some of us have been told.

It's back to Mystery Inc., a show that has soured over time in one of the co-host's mouths, much like . . . well, like most foods when left too long in someone's mouth, probably. That said, the diversions are expected, plentiful, and (hopefully) a great deal of fun.

What better time to do a topsy-turvy switcharoo episode than fifteen days after April Fool's? Imagine, if you will, Evan editing all of the audio and Luke doing, well, literally everything else. Keep imagining it, too, because that's not what you'll be hearing this week.

While Mystery Incorporated undergoes a bit of a costume change in the comic book that Evan and Luke cracked open, Scooby Dudes is the same as it's always been (as it always will be, forever and ever, amen).

What do you call two podcasters who recap an episode called "High Society Scooby", which features one of pop culture's most highly suspected potheads, without once mentioning marijuana? A couple of damn professionals, that's what.

Not only that, but they're looking out for any and all listeners who have a nice neat 30-minute commute. Listen to half this episode on the way to work and the other half on the way back! Professional AND considerate. A real double threat, these guys.
