    The Cartoncasters do not condone bullying the differently-abled, except for
    one specific person, John Callahan, who wished they would. Suck it,
    Callahan!

  • The Second Annual Cartony Awards
    Welcome to the Second Annual Cartony Awards! We might not have shown up to
    the right place for the second year in a row, but no one's pulling our
    strings when we talk about our favorite cartoons of the past year! We might
    not have as robust a roster as last year, but the contestants this time
    around are some serious contenders. And just so no-one confuses us with a
    puppetry-themed show, we have a new slogan: "The Cartoncast - Better than a
    Hand up your Ass."

  • 64 - Kirby! Right Back at Ya!
    Ben and Zane were loving their vacation in Cappy Town. The music was
    lively, the sky a clear pastel blue, and the townsfolk easily identifiable
    by their clothing. It was a real dreamland. As they relaxed, they overheard
    the townsfolk speak in whispers of conspiracy, a plot to overthrow their
    tyrannical king by means of their brainwashed warrior, a child soldier from
    the stars. This Kirby was brutal and efficient, killing and consuming their
    ruler in seconds. The Cartoncasters were prepared to leave, but Cappy Town
    went right back to normal, and that escargot wasn't going to eat itself.

  • 63 - The Smurfs
    On their quest for forgotten cartoons, Ben and Zane happened upon a
    pleasant glen, full of adorable ramshackle mushroom houses. Thankfully,
    local wizard and Jewish stereotype Gargamel warned the Cartoncasters of the
    pests which lived there - an abominable blue plague whose intense focus was
    only rivaled by their religious fervor for the self-instated leader they
    referred to as their "father". He assured us the cutesy behavior was all an
    act to cover up their shady wooden beam industry, their adorable speech
    impediments a clever cypher used to confound their enemies. The
    Cartoncasters decided to take their quest somewhere less weird, which
    Gargamel took poorly. They say even now you can hear Gargamel's rage.

  • 62 - Ugly Americans
    New York City: a sprawling metropolis filled with people from every walk of
    life. Ben and Zane strolled along its avenues and alleyways, trying to take
    in everything it had to offer. From the tentacled fish vendors to the
    firefighters made out of literal fire, the city was full of interesting
    characters. Of course, nothing compared to the singular oddity of a man
    with no physical abnormalities, no glaring personality flaws, not even an
    extra arm or eyeball. He wasn't even shouting! In New York! Truly, the
    Cartoncasters had seen it all.

  • 61 - Recess
    Ben and Zane heard a hot tip about a cartoon prison yard that was cleverly
    disguised as an elementary school. Warden Prickly waved away accusations
    that he was sympathizing with the inmates of third street elementary, but
    records showed that he himself was once a prisoner there as well. He broke
    down and told us the whole story; that this prison used to be most tender,
    but these days it really whomps.Unfortunately, there were technical
    difficulties during recording, and the audio quality on Zane's side is
    somewhat worse than normal. Probably those damned kindergartners messing
    with our stuff.

  • 60 - Bootlegg'd: The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones
    Join the Cartoncast as we watch a fast-paced post-apocalyptic 80's
    time-travel movie about industrial espionage and urban decay: The Jetsons
    Meet the Flintstones. Watch what is basically a couple of episodes of the
    show based off the Honeymooners and the show based off the show based off
    the Honeymooners. Wacky misunderstandings, suicidal robots, and
    disproportionate revenge, this movie has it all. We didn't enjoy watching
    it, but hey, it's a livin'.

  • 59 - KaBlam!
    When Henry agreed to be a co-host of KaBlam, he thought it was just three
    hots and a cot. Never expected he'd be taking the heat for the corrupt
    execs representing all the b-list cartoons. Henry was caught in a place
    where cartoons and comics collided, with him as the collateral damage. He
    could take it, for a while, but when the Cartoncast came by to grill him on
    the health and well-being of KaBlam employees, it all came spilling out.
    "What's it matter, anyway?" he cried. "My life aint worth a thing. Not a
    thing."Anyway, while we get Henry his meds, let's turn the page and watch
    Life with Loopy! Yearghh.

  • 58 - Megas XLR
    Ben and Zane were rooting through the local landfill (like ya do) when they
    came across a giant robot that nobody had ever noticed before, somehow.
    They poked and prodded and fiddled with the knobs so much that when a woman
    from the future came to reclaim it, she couldn't pilot it any more. Now
    it's up to the Cartoncasters to control it by reviewing old cartoons. But
    that sounds like work, so maybe they'll just leave the TV on to
    Wrestlemania while they go out for some cheese steaks.

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.
