The Cartoncast episodes

  • 57 - Sailor Moon
    Things were rough for Sailor Guest ever since her kingdom crumbled around
    her and the Dark-dimension exiled her into the body of an average girl and
    friend of the Cartoncast, Kitti. Well, the Cartoncasters weren't going to
    let Kitti fight against them by herself. Ben and Zane quickly donned
    matching tuxedos and proceeded to stand around. Heroically.

  • One-Legg'd - The Point
    Join Zane and special guest Jacob as they watch the 1970's acid trip, The
    Point. Taking a line from Cinema52's "Half-Flick" feature, they go in blind
    and make wild predictions about plot, characters, and the point of it all.
    Watch it if you dare, or better yet, go find the concept album.

  • 56 - Defenders of the Earth
    By Jungle Law, The Cartoncasters were called to court for their crimes
    against Flash Gordon (specifically, not knowing who he was). Luckily, The
    Phantom aka The Ghost Who Walks aka Caribbean Attorney acted as their legal
    representation with the power of ten tigers. Thank goodness for public
    defenders (defenders).

  • 55 - Ducktales
    In a world where direct parental relations are a thing of myth, Scrooge
    McDuck dares to stand up for the ever-threatened ultra-rich. Ben and Zane
    offered to record his story for the pittance of a few duck-bills, and were
    tossed out on their ears. Scrooge knew the three secrets to prosperity: a
    penny saved is a penny earned, limitless treasures exist in exotic locales,
    and always watch out for Shia Lebeouf.

  • 54 - The Angry Beavers
    On a recent trip to the Norb store, Ben and Zane discussed what it meant to
    be brothers. As they rambled on, they wandered into a forest, where they
    discovered something incredible: talking beavers! They asked the beavers
    all about their lives, but the language barrier was tricky. After a lot of
    bleating and accusations of being "spooty," the cartoncasters tried
    explaining that they were scientists, but the beavers had heard that one
    before.

  • 53 - Cybersix
    Deep in their hearts, Ben, Zane, and Cassie feel love so alive. That's why
    they wandered through downtown Venice, offering their expertise to street
    urchin and over-eligible bachelors alike. Things got a bit hairy when some
    monsters came out, but The Cartoncasters were able to slip away when Cassie
    busted out some fantastic accordion music.

  • 52 - Bootlegg'd: Wizards
    Did you like the American Tale movies but thought that the Hitler imagery
    wasn't quite strong enough? Then put on your best Peter Falk impression and
    check out Wizards in this Bootlegg'd segment, where Ben, Zane, and our
    guest Bill Adcock look at the unique animation choices and heavy subject
    matter that made this movie a cult hit. Content warning: Nazi propaganda
    and 70's porno music.

  • 51 - The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror
    Ben and Zane knew they shouldn't have trusted Dan Graves' offer to spend
    Halloween night in his spooky mansion, and right they were! The vampire
    bats and zombie ninjas were bad enough, but Dan insisted on both of the
    Cartoncasters being present for an entire 80's horror movie marathon. They
    thought it was over by sunrise, but then he just spooled on some random
    Sci-fi and Fantasy for good measure. Man, that Halloween felt like it
    lasted decades.

  • 50 - Teen Titans
    Ben and Zane were so excited to try out for the legendary superhero group,
    the Teen Titans. They didn't have any powers, but they could go from silly
    to serious on a dime, and had control over their own emotions.
    Unfortunately, the Titans weren't as mellow, and attacked the
    Cartoncasters, thinking they were supervillains, what with the existing in
    their city. Since it was the first few minutes of the episode, Ben and Zane
    actually managed to overpower them. They left before the inevitable
    power-of-friendship dialogue. It was a formulaic, transparent visit, but
    man was it cool.

  • 49 - Scrambl'd - Red vs. Blue
    The Cartoncasters held their breaths. They approached each other in the
    field of battle, in Blood Gulch, but never as they imagined. Zane crept up
    from behind a protruding rock, shotgun in hand, as Ben boldly charged
    ahead, pistols blazing. A brief second of hesitation, indecision... then
    regret. Zane, a Red, and Ben, a Blue - there was only one way this could
    end. And after the dust settled, muffled sobbing sounds could be heard
    behind Zane's helmet, as he teabagged the shit out of that dirty Blue.
