The Cartoncast

By Ben and Zane

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.... more

February 16, 2016 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.

February 02, 2016 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.

January 20, 2016 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).

January 03, 2016 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.

December 14, 2015 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.

December 02, 2015 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.

November 21, 2015 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.

November 08, 2015 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.

October 30, 2015 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.

October 14, 2015 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.
