The Cartoncast episodes

  • 162 - Code Lyoko
    Let’s face it. Ben and Zane had been around the block a few times. There’s
    almost nothing they haven’t seen. But Alex wouldn’t take no for an answer;
    he assured the cartoncasters that there was some shit in the sewer they
    just had to check out. Turns out there’s a computer that transmits your
    true selves, your very souls, into a digital world where anyone inside can
    see who you really are. Ben and Zane politely declined - they already had a
    podcast.

  • 161 - Frisky Dingo
    Hello Internet. Yes, yes you there, sitting there in your gamer chair,
    sipping some sort of malted beverage. I am Killface. I’m intercepting your
    standard banal affair to tell you of your impending doom. Because I have
    invented my spin-off killing machine, the Annihilatrix 2.0, and it will…
    hmm? Yes? It’s been cancelled? By who? The network? Those charlatans! I’m
    going to go right there and… um, well, I’ll scuff them around. I’m trying
    to run an empire here!

  • 160 - Donkey Kong Country
    Ben and Zane were looking forward to a relaxing trip to the country - the
    Donkey Kong Country. The trees and lakes were nice (if a bit low-res), and
    the owner of the resort, Mr. Kahrule, was very magnanimous. Unfortunately,
    there was an unpleasant man wandering around. He smelled like an ape and
    looked like he hadn’t bathed or shaved in years, but he kept talking about
    how he was destined to become the rightful ruler of the resort. His handler
    lured him away with a shiny crystal, though, so it wasn’t too bad. 4 stars,
    must check out the sea shanties.

  • 159 - Courage the Cowardly Dog
    That old Rapscallion Damn Graves hosted this year’s halloween party in the
    middle of Nowhere, Kansas. The masks were spooky, apples were being bobbed
    - everyone seemed to be having a great time except for a curious pink dog
    in the corner who screamed with fear at every guest coming in the front
    door. But there was nothing to worry about, after all - they were just
    costumes, right? …Right?

  • Unshell'd - Games to Watch
    Ben and Zane decided to use their powers of creativity for good(?) and came
    up with 10 cartoon adaptations of video games. This well is nowhere near
    dry, but once we think up 3 different harem animes it’s time for a break.
    * Mario Odyssey and WarioWare in a Freaky Friday situation
    * Shovel Knight as a Reality TV show about living together
    * Starcraft following the three factions in a war story arms race
    * Slay the Spire as an anime battle tournament
    * Psychonauts as wacky Inception with mental health PSAs
    * Fallout as a Samurai Jack-esque postapocalypse survival drama
    * Secret of Evermore with a dimension-hopping culture warrior
    * Stardew Valley as vicarious pansexual polygamy/farming wish
    fulfillment
    * Final Fantasy 6 as a JoJo-style world-traveling action plotline
    pileup
    * Dark Souls Chibi parody

  • 158 - Bootlegg'd - A Goofy Movie
    Modern times getting you down? Things a bit too… serious? Well we let the
    radical 90’s adventure A Goofy Movie warp our schedule because it was just
    so freshalicious. Nic joins the cartoncasters as we look at an
    oft-overlooked piece of the Disney Renaissance that’s surprisingly
    heartwarming. So join us for the Perfect Cast.

  • 157 - Outlaw Star
    When Gene Starwind (yes, that Gene Starwind) offered the Cartoncasters an
    opportunity to travel in his spaceship, they jumped at the chance. They
    just had to make sure to follow the rules in order to get to the Galactic
    Leyline. What’s that? Just a space treasure sought after by the Ctarl Ctarl
    empire. Who? Oh they’re just lycanthropic fanservice elementals, not unlike
    the secret order of assassins… Needless to say, Ben and Zane opted out and
    just went to hang with Fred Luo instead.

  • 156 - Scrambl'd - Dr. Who: The Power of the Daleks
    Phil gathered the Cartoncasters to his bedside. It was his time - the
    mercury fumes, you understand - and soon he would be gone. But instead of
    shuffling off to wherever it is he goes, he instead shifted before their
    eyes, metamorphizing into a brand new Phil. This one wore some atrocious
    plaid slacks, sure, and his recorder-playing wasn’t up to its usual stuff,
    but it was clearly the same guy, otherwise how could he rant about Dr. Who
    so well?

  • 155 - Bootlegg'd - Beavis and Butthead do America
    It’s that time again, buttholes. For this very special Bootlegg’d segment,
    there’s excitement, there’s sex, there’s mystery, and all of that is an
    absolute side plot to the perspectives of Beavis and Butthead as they Do
    America. Listen in to a preamble that takes far too long and is totally
    justified, as we discuss how B&B did America.

  • Unshell'd - Hunter x Hunter x Impressions
    Settle down, Weebs, we didn’t do a full normal breakdown and analysis of
    the behemoth that is Hunter x Hunter (pronounced “Hunter Hunter” for
    reasons we couldn’t begin to get into). Instead we offer you a stream of
    consciousness regarding Ben’s recent watch-through (and Zane’s vague
    memories) of the apotheosis of Shonen anime.

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.
