Scooby Dudes

What does "Conscooberism" mean to you? How about "Comment Sense"? Do the words "Pitches & Scream" elicit anything in you at this time in your life? Well, all of that's about to change once you listen to the Scooby Dudes' latest discussion about everyone's number one animated Great Dane (and his hangers-on, too).

Your hosts trawl the internet for Scooby paraphernalia! They check to see what other conversations are being had about the gang! They spend an inordinate amount of time trying to come up with clever puns to title their features! Just the name of this episode took over an hour!

Have you ever wondered why exactly that one cartoon was titled "A Pup Named Scooby-Doo"? No? Your curiosity notwithstanding, this week Luke and Evan return to recapping the gang's childhood adventures, and even come up with a very compelling theory that explains its name.

Now granted, the two hosts also tiptoe around the fact that Shaggy's paperboy job appears to have broken a few child labour laws, but there wasn't enough time! They firmly believe in ethical job conditions for all, but also that their episodes shouldn't run longer than two hours.

Remember that one time when your best friend/significant other/respected person in your life betrayed your trust/deeply disappointed you/failed to live up to your expectations? Well, in many ways that's what "Mystery Mask Mix-Up" was for the Scooby Dudes.

Racism is never a good look, but it's not always recognized as such, and certainly wasn't in the early 70s when "Scooby-Doo, Where Are You!" first aired. This week Luke, who is friends with POC, and Evan, an actual POC, recap a deeply problematic episode, spotlighting its sins while still making sure to note the silver linings as well.

Are you ready to be taken higher? No, not to the place where blind men see, we're talking about higher education! The very first episode of "Be Cool, Scooby-Doo!" brings us to Kingston University, an institution with a particularly horrific method of vetting its prospective students.

While the thought of postsecondary ed. and the staggering financial burden that comes with it are a frightening enough prospect for most, Evan and Luke are just too darn excited! This is the show that inspired "Scooby Dudes", and they're eager to share the absolute best the franchise has to offer!

Not to be mistaken for "Scuba Cat Tuba", which is the underwater feline musical that Luke and Evan are going to start shopping around once they can clear a few instrumental rights, the episode your daring duo are covering this week is the second installment of "The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo".

It's not just gem-studded ladles that make an appearance in the gang's quest to capture the first of the spirits, either! There are also impromptu jingles, wizard's duels, and even a mysterious sleeping beauty. Flim-Flam and Scrappy even manage to add to the fun, which some might call the truest magic of all.

Just like children, some questions deserve a little more attention than others, which is why Luke and Evan have returned to one in particular from their last Friendterrogation. How could they not, when it asked how they would cast their own live action Scooby-Doo?

Alongside their intense discussion of who in Hollywood is best suited to star as Mystery Incorporated, they also answer a number of other Scoob-related queries. Their listeners should know that they're open to answering other questions as well! Seriously!

Do you remember going to sleepovers as a child and, in the near pitch black of their bedroom, seeing the barest outline of your friend's face, except their eyes were wide open staring back at you? This episode is kind of like that, except funny and not scary.

It's "Scooby-Doo & Scrappy-Doo" and Shaggy who are under the impression that Daphne might be a vampire, specifically one of the San Francisco Bay variety. Will their suspicions win out, forcing them to devise ways of slaying their former companion? Probably not, but you'll have to listen to find out!

So this is how the world ends, not with a bang, but with the worldwide dispersal of nanites that transform every last vestige of humanity. Or is it? "Scooby Apocalypse" #1 sets up the fall of civilization with the gang at ground zero!

We're taking a break from covering Scoob on your TV screen to tackling those meddling kids in panel after four-colour panel. It's a newer, hipper version of that Great Dane and his four human friends, with more grit, tattoos, and cybernetic enhancements than you're probably used to. Strap in, because this Armageddon's going to be a bumpy ride.

Driving can be dangerous. You have to watch out for pedestrians, traffic signals, other drivers, and, as this episode of "What's New, Scooby-Doo?" relays, gigantic desert sandworms. I can't remember what to do with those, something about checking your blindspots-

Tune in this week to hear Evan and Luke talk about video games, probably more than they need to! Gain a very slight understanding of Frank Herbert's magnum opus! Find out what in the world "Nuevo Mexico" could possibly translate to!

Learn. Laugh. Love. This is "Scooby Dudes".
