  • 12 - Doug
    On a visit to the insane asylum to visit Agent J, Ben and Zane saw one of
    their old childhood friends, Doug, in a padded cell. He hadn't aged well.
    When the Cartoncasters tried to approach him, he started panicking and
    talking about how nervous he was to some imaginary person named "Skeet."
    Thankfully, they found him too boring and wandered off, scatting the whole
    way.

  • 11 - Bootlegg'd: Treasure Planet
    Welcome to our newly imagined Bootlegg'd segment, where the Cartoncasters
    review a full-length animated film! This week, they test the cut of their
    sails and the keel of their haul by taking an in-depth look at Disney's
    adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Space whales and
    solar sails are only a few treasures to be found in this podcast, so tune
    in to find out what Ben and Zane think of Treasure Planet.

  • 10 - King Arthur and the Knights of Justice
    This week, Ben and Zane were forced to go off their schedule when they were
    hijacked into the past by time lightning. Merlin told they they'd need to
    find the twelve keys of truth to get back to their own time, and would have
    the help of the knights of the round table. The Cartonists were skeptical,
    but luckily the knights accepted the ridiculousness of the premise
    immediately and without question.

  • 9 - Darkwing Duck
    It was early evening, and the cigar smoke slowly dispersed through my
    office when they walked in. Those two primates, they walked into my office,
    shoulders squared, a purpose in their eyes. "Ben and Zane", they said, "and
    we're here to ask you some questions." This duck's no snitch, but sometimes
    the only way to untangle a web of lies is to let the authorities ask some
    questions. I gulped back a slug of Golden Goose, shivering as it burned
    down my throat. Golden Goose always ruffles a few feathers, but there are
    some stories that can only be told with a partner, and she's the most
    reliable friend I've ever had. I put my feet up on the desk and leaned back
    in my chair. "Okay, boys," I said. "Where should I start?"

  • 8 - Samurai Jack
    Long ago, in a distant land, a foolish Samurai warrior was banished to the
    future, wherein he encountered Ben and Zane and told them his story. During
    a journey through various environments with accompanying travel music, the
    samurai told them of the ancient evil Aku. He was somewhat perterbed when
    Ben and Zane both agreed that Aku sounded pretty great.

  • 7 - Hamtaro
    Ben and Zane knew that taking care of a hamster would be a big
    responsibility, but they couldn't have foreseen just how suicidal the
    hamster would be. Although they initially wrote Hamtaro off as an inept
    (though well-meaning) show, they soon realized that the goofy actions
    belied a savage intelligence, hellbent on working with the hamster
    underground to overthrow the shackles of humankind. Their revolution
    failed, but I bet the next revolution will be even better.

  • 6 - Sheep in the Big City
    When Ben and Zane ran away from a top secret government organization
    threatening to use their podcast for a podcast-powered ray gun, they never
    thought they'd end up in the big city. Thankfully, the natives are
    friendly, if difficult to understand. Amidst the baa-ing and the really
    forced puns, Ben and Zane catalog the story of a lone sheep who'd gotten
    badly fleeced.

  • 5 - Batman Beyond
    In their mission to uncover the truth behind cartoons, Ben and Zane find
    themselves in an opulent mansion, home to one Bruce "Solomon Grundy" Wayne,
    an elderly gentleman with a suspiciously large collection of bat-themed
    equipment in his basement. What follows is a incisive and considered
    interview with Wayne in which we discuss the notions of duty, sacrifice,
    and the weakness of attachment. Oh, and there's this kid named Terry there
    too, I guess.

  • 4 - Fairly OddParents
    Timmy was a pretty sad kid. Eventually the turmoil of his childhood and the
    dismal ennui of the 21st century eroded his sanity, and he began to
    hallucinate vividly about kids with wings who could grant wishes. Ben and
    Zane were asked to commit his ravings to audio log during Timmy's decent
    into madness, but they didn't expect he'd spend so much time talking about
    his teeth.

  • 3 - Men In Black: The Series
    Agent B and Agent Z have been taken off the front lines of fighting alien
    crime in order to investigate some of Agent J and K's case files. Normally
    these documents would be classified to the public, but just this once,
    you're welcome to listen in on some top secret MIB information - if Agents
    B and Z can stop talking about the intro.
