The Cartoncast episodes

  • 201 - Bootlegg'd - Inside Out
    Inside Out is a touching, funny, beautiful movie. It has all the Pixar
    hallmarks, an all-star cast, and an engaging premise. But more than that,
    it puts the feelings of growing up into words, and gives its viewers the
    vocabulary to process the world as their emotions become increasingly
    nuanced and jumbled. An instant classic that we all wish we had when we
    were young. In all these ways and more, it’s kind of like Futurama.

  • 200 - Freakazoid!
    Welcome to our 200th episode, eggberts! We could go on a whole spiel about
    why we chose this for such an auspicious anniversary, or do some sort of
    speech celebrating our run so far, but in the end we just wanted to gush
    about Freakazoid, so that’s what we did. For those who know this show, no
    additional context is necessary. For those who haven’t - you’re in for a
    real mint.
    Thanks for Josh for helping out with the intro!

  • 198 - Taz-Mania
    The Cartoncasters are not immune to getting lost at the terminal, and
    wouldn’t you know it, on their way to Albuquerque they managed to reroute
    to Australia, where one Taz was waiting for them. Though they were
    initially nervous, Ben and Zane found him to be pleasant enough company, if
    a bit derivative. They also met 80-odd other characters, but as the saying
    goes, what happens in Tasmania… isn’t a whole lot.

    * Tazmanian devil and tiger are actual animals
    * ‘Bombable Walls’

  • One-Legg'd - Space Jam
    Space Jam is one of those properties that you’ve seen, even if you haven’t
    seen it. And if you have seen it, see it again now that you’re older.
    Because it's legendary status is part truth, part myth, and part confusing.
    This oft-cited box office bombshell has its share of faults that your kid
    brain might have passed over - as well as a few ‘blink and you miss it’
    gags that had us rolling.
    Thanks for James for coming on the show and lending us some much needed
    basketball insights!
    * ‘Hare Jordan’ ad
    * Space jam legendary sound track
    * ‘Bumping the Lamp’ - Who Framed Roger Rabbit
    * Barkley’s Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden

    * Nope, I made the mistake again, it was also Chris Rock in Osmosis
    Jones
    * Michael Jordan’s gambling ‘suspension’
    * Michael Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech is psychotically petty

  • 197 - Reheat'd - Samurai Jack Season 5
    That’s right, babe, the Cartoncast has taken a trip back, back to the
    Future that is Aku. Jacky baby is back, with just a few too many of his old
    baggage weighing him down. Ben and Zane tried to keep him from turning back
    time (and from robbing the grave), but sometimes you just have to let
    someone keep going on their path. Rip Aku, long live Scaramouche, babe.

  • 196 - Neo Yokio
    Welcome to Neo Yokio, the only place in the world where you can watch the
    All-City Gentleman’s Field Hockey game while sipping a Caprese Martini. The
    Cartoncasters were living the high life, blinged up in all the finery that
    Neo-Podcast Neo-Money can buy, when the game was interrupted by a literal
    devil breaking through the ground and eviscerating a player. Ichiban Kaz
    Kaan fought it off, but made an utter faux pas by being off-side when he
    banished it back to hell. It almost makes you think about the inability to
    feel content in the hyper-capitalist materialistic social strata. Almost.

  • 195 - Bootlegg'd - Over the Garden Wall
    Ben and Zane were walking through yet another spooky forest when a little
    bird - Josh - told them about a modern American Fairy Tale. Over the Garden
    Wall is cozy yet unsettling, precise yet meandering, and heartwarming yet
    grim. Listen to a lovely soundtrack as we discuss a whole lot of nonsense,
    and just slightly less heart.

  • 194 - The Real Ghostbusters
    Every so often you run into something that just can’t be explained. So when
    strange spooky noises showed up on their recordings, Ben and Zane decided
    to contact the experts. Resident horror expert Dan Caves agreed to take a
    look at the files. Long story short, the files weren’t haunted, but there
    was a clip detailing the evils of governmental overreach. None of them knew
    how it got there - it just sort of popped in there.

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.
