The Ka-Chat

Man. They grow up so freakin fast, don't they? Just brings a tear to your eye. In today's episode, John and Lucas look back at the carefree days of youth these Cars experience. For, like, 10% of the episode. The rest of it looks at some of the more unpleasant areas of aging and childhood, from re-examining the horrifying idea of Cars giving birth, to going even more in depth about the life span and eventual death these creatures experience. So.... a pretty fun one!

ALL ABOARD! Welcome one and all to The Ka-Chat Express, where this week, we're going to be discussing the trains present within the Carsverse. There may only be three named trains within these movies, but we certainly didn't let that stop us, and neither should you. Things start off pretty normal, but we create a religion around these massive beasts, like, really quickly. But I mean, that's honestly not too out there for us, is it?

You know, when you think about it, it didn't make a ton of sense to structure the episode as "Let's talk about cryptids for a while, also, normal animals also exist in the Cars universe." But oh no, it's already posting! Anyway, in this episode we explore all kinds of different biomes and ecosystems, from the forests where Bigwheel hides from us, to the farms full of tractors that the Cars.... milk, I guess? Golly. That's a sticky wicket. Bet you'll enjoy listening to us talk about that.

You know, Lucas probably should have done this before starting a podcast about these movies, but oh well, pobody's nerfect! Anyway, if you couldn't guess from our incredibly clearly stated title, Lucas watched Cars 2, so we decided to go ahead and do a deep dive into it this episode, everything from the plight of the Lemons, to how Mater handles a movie of his own, to the genuinely distressing amount of Car death present in this middle child of a film.

Oh shoot, y'all got juked! I bet you thought we were only gonna talk about Cars on this podcast, ya know, because all of our branding and what we have directly told you online and in the episodes themselves? Well, don't you look stupid. Anyway, in honor of the upcoming release of Toy Story 4, we decided to take a quick detour and talk about the implications of the Toy Story universe, and let me tell ya, it's not much better over there. Oh, also we argue about Shakespeare for a while, which I mean, makes sense, what else would we do for our Toy Story episode?

Man, I hope y'all brought your appetites. We are dining on the finest cuisine that the Cars universe has to offer, everything from our most vintage gasolines and oils to, ya know, real food. Today we are exploring what our friends in Radiator Springs consume to keep on moving, and what happens to the Earth in a world full of creatures with engines that are actively running 24/7. As a hint, it's not great.

Get your jaws of life, people. Today, we're going inside the Cars themselves. Join us as we dissect these majestic creatures, disscussing how much of them is squishy, wondering where exactly all the that oil and gasoline that they drink goes, and creating a little Cars fan-fiction along the way. Be sure to bring your coveralls. This one's gonna get messy.

On your marks, get set, go! The maiden voyage of The Ka-Chat has begun. You are legally obligated to break a bottle of champagne on your listening device. Sorry, I don't make the rules. Anyway, in this episode, John and Lucas, appropriately enough, talk about beginnings. Inappropriately enough, John says the phrase "Car J***" at least, like, 4 times. So uh... Sorry about that, I guess. Please listen to it anyway.
