The Ka-Chat

Listen, we've gotten pretty good at predicting these movies over the past several years. So why would we waste our time pitching Cars 5-7 when we can skip all the way to the most interesting entry of the series, Cars 8?

If only there was another long running series we could base this that has to do with cars and racing and above all else... F A M I L Y. That sure would be helpful for us, let us know if you think of one!

Hey.... maybe we should be writing some of this down?

This week, we do just that, enshrining some of The Ka-Chat's biggest theories and observations in a living document, while leaving room for many, many more to be added.

Babies. What are they? We just don't know.

And we know even less about the theoretical car versions of these tiny creatures that come from... somewhere? John won't tell me where he got Rory. It's starting to piss me off.

Anyway, this one is about car babies.

Alright, straight up? This one isn't about Cars. We just got through Cars on the Road, we've been waiting for this day for a year and a half, we deserve a reward, alright???

So with that in mind and inspired by the many "Best of 2022" lists coming out right now, John and Lucas decided to just go through some shows, movies, games, and more that they really dug this year.

Well folks... 3 months ago, we hit the highway, a couple of friends. There were new adventures round every bend. And whether racing fast, or getting towed... we were ever together.

Road

You'd think that an episode focused on basically Mad Max happening in the Carsverse would be one of our favorites, right? Well, we thought that too....

As a disclaimer - This is not an episode about the amazing Dreamworks film of the same name. That may come at some point, but it is not this episode. 

There's some lore here, but our intrepid Cars-casters are scraping the bottom of the barrel to find it. Why did they do the episodes where Mater died and there were ghosts and dinosaurs and credible evidence of aliens first? It makes the rest seems a lot less... exciting, I guess?

I spent a while trying to come up with a "Pagliacci the Clown" joke for the description, but being honest, I finished editing this one at 1:40 AM and just wanna go to sleep, so you're just gonna have to use your imagination for this one, guys.

This is the clown one. It's not very good.

(If you're curious: "But doctor, we ARE the only podcast brave enough to ask the question 'Hey what's up with Cars?'!" was as far as I got)

Alright, so the last few episodes have spoiled us a little bit. There are no dinosaurs in this one, no ghosts, no embodiments of the concept of death. BUT there is some wild body horror! And a fake alien abduction! And you KNOW Lucas and John make it weird and sexual, so that's sort of a Ka-Chat classic.
