The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon Podcast

Call her, beep her, or if you're Disney rely on her to help get over the slump their animation division were in during the early 2000s! Kim Possible made massive waves for the company and helped establish the Disney Channel as a third viable source for first run animation opposite Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon. This globetrotting cheerleader garnered four seasons and two made for TV movies, all without ever getting her learners permit! Linwood Knight returns to help us with the sitch on Team Possible in this episode.

It's the classic boy meets girl story, except complicated by arranged engagements, martial arts mayhem, and a gender bending curse that makes the boy get into romantic trouble from every possible angle. Ranma 1/2 is Rumiko Takahashi's smash hit manga, adapted into anime in 1989 and after a false start in a crummy timeslot it became a massive hit at home in Japan and would help herald bigger things to come for Japanese animation here in the US. Come and listen, we owe Nabiki money if we don't get a certain number of downloads!

Like a bolt from the blue after years of oh so serious Batmen, the Brave and the Bold revived the wilder, sillier elements of the caped crusader and the surrounding DC Comics history. Drawing from material ranging from the golden age up to the most recent iterations of characters like Blue Beetle and the Atom, this is what your hosts would consider "Exhibit A" when making the case that campy does not equal bad. So come join us as we revisit the hammers of justice!

With the next Mario movie a little under a week from release, our hosts return to DiC's divisive take on the franchise with the first of two Saturday morning installments they made. The Adventures of Super Mario Bros 3 took the brothers to a more accurate to the games Mushroom Kingdom, but did it without half the cast of the Super Show and with a massive time crunch for production. It's a wild ride, and we hope you all enjoy our look back at it!

Sorry, Mario, but your podcast is in another castle. Or, rather, will have to come out next week due to life interfering with all three hosts at once last week! But we were prepared for just such an emergency by having recorded in advance a sure-fire hit replacement, featuring one of the most durable and enduring comedic duos in animation history, Tweety & Sylvester. Join us as we enjoy all the putty tat twoubles we can stand, including two Academy Award winning shorts in Tweety Pie and Birds Anonymous. 

After the vintage feel of What's New and the downright wild Get A Clue, the Scooby Gang dive into arguably the darkest material they've tackled to date. Mystery Incorporated is the high watermark for the franchise in terms of serialized storytelling and genuine stakes, all with a loving eye to what made the whole thing click in the first place and for Hanna-Barbera in general. Fan artist Office Anomaly hops into the Mystery Machine with us for a dive into a pair of episodes and a discussion of the show's legacy.

Deep within the halls of power of Little Tokyo, a malicious fox- wait, rat, he's a rat in the English version. That's the biggest liberty taken with the original Kyattō Ninden Teyandē when Saban got the rights from Tatsunoko to localize it and wound up without much in the way of scripts, translated or otherwise. The end result is the gag dub to end all gag dubs, somehow even wackier than the already very silly original show. So pack a heck of a lunch to enjoy this episode with!

Alongside flying, what kid doesn't dream of being able to talk to their pets and other animals and they'd talk back? The wish fulfilment premise of The Wild Thornberrys became a launching point for a fun adventure/comedy series and a better than average educational vehicle, too. Having Tim Curry ham it up as an eccentric nature show host certainly helps, too! We finally return to the world of Nicktoons with this episode, and pay a small tribute to a much-loved YouTube personality in the process.

What started as an attempt to do a Peppa Pig style show for Australia turned into a global sensation that attracted audiences far beyond the preschool age group it was intended for. Bluey and her family and friends learn as they go and grow, with warm humor and storytelling based on real experiences. Cary Woodham returns to the podcast to take us on a trip to get to know the Healers if not for real life then for some approximation of it.

Hey folks, here's the story 'bout Betty the Booper, she was a real sweet boop-a-doop-a-dooper. From being an unnamed poodle singer in a supper club to starring in the Fleischer's first color cartoon, animation's fabulous flapper dazzled audiences with her charm and the adorable voices of Mae Questel, Margie Hines and others. As her earliest version entered the public domain a short while ago, we take a look at a quartet of her short subjects.
