  • Watch Forever: UFO50 Games to Watch
    UFO50 isn’t just an incredible game, isn’t just an amazing concept packed
    with even more awesome ideas, like some kind of gaming fractal, but it’s so
    unique and cool that it brought The Cartoncast back out of retirement for
    one last job.

  • 223 - Baccano!
    Baccano! is brilliant. I’m not even going to front with this one, guys. We
    both have way too much reverence for this show to do a bit about it that
    will do it justice. Just take our recommendation as gospel, dust off your
    fedoras, and get ready for one of the greatest dubbing triumphs of our
    generation.

  • 222 - Aqua Teen Hunger Force
    Ben and Zane were worried that they were losing their street cred. They
    were known as the Cartoncasters, sure, but did anybody know about their
    detective careers? That time they saved the world? The horrible monsters
    they created/defeated/rebirthed? They brought Ian in to give them a
    makeover and to let the whole world know that they were the true Land-based
    Adult Action Squad.

  • 221 - Mighty Max
    The 90’s was a verdant era for cartoons, coming off the success of
    Ducktales. However, it was also the era of Tude. Ben and Zane went
    wandering for a decent - just decent! - protagonist, buried amongst the
    dross of hedgehogs’ Sonic and Zeldas’ Link. Thank goodness they were able
    to call in the Mighty one, Gary, to use his catalogue of all things 90’s
    pop culture. He revealed to them not only do such protagonists exist, but
    they also have electric guitars. Sold!

  • 220 - Bootlegg'd - Monster House
    Hating on CGI has become a national pastime for the cartoon-watching world,
    and we’re certainly no strangers. But is a good concept enough to rescue
    some fairly uncanny animation and flat characters? This episode features
    superfan Alex as he walks us through a oft-forgotten movie of the aughts.
    Remember to bring your walkie-talkies and bikes - you don’t want to be a
    dead person, do you?

  • 219 - VeggieTales
    Ben and Zane were reading their Bibles like they totally all the time do,
    when they read an odd story they weren’t familiar with. It spoke of “fruits
    of the ground” which “rose up to overthrow mankind” and “sing silly songs
    all day.” The Cartoncasters asked Ali for help. She used her expertise with
    vegetables to throw salt over the books and perform an exorcism. They
    weren’t sure that it was the holiest thing they could have done, but at
    least is wasn’t boring!

About The Cartoncast

From the publisher's feed

As we describe it, this is the '8th grade lit paper' of cartoon podcasts. It involves a deliberate investigation to what makes old cartoons tick, and a healthy respect for digression. Also eggs.
