Peer beneath the veil and witness a bizarre world, where Spivzy has to host a podcast because Rich was off sick that day. Lucky for me I was joined by the venerable Sam Linstrom, to talk up a storm on cartoons which found their homes on the internet. A good chunk of the episode is made up of us trying to do Strong Bad impressions to VARYING degrees of success! We also answered some listener emails, and had a lovely trip down mid 00's memory lane.

We watched Homestar Runner, Ratboy Genius, and Happy Tree Friends

Predacons, Terrorise!! The Toonhounds are joined this week by Matthew Tucciarone (Heroes Three, T'Pon's Theater on Subspace) to discuss the uncanny valley of early cg animation! Starting with a show only Rich has ever seen, Shadow Raiders, before moving on the real meat of the episode with Matthew's choice Beast Wars. Finally, Spivzy tries to convince the others that Cubix is allegorical, to middling success.

We watched

Shadow Raiders  (1998)

Beast Wars (1996)

Cubix (2001)

This week the Toonhounds are talking about a sadistic cartoon rat and his victim, that's right, Tom & Jerry! We get into some of our favourite episodes, hear a story from Rich's childhood that isn't traumatic for once, and cower in terror at spivzy's tale of trying to watch a DVD. Also some emails!

Time. Space. Cartoons. It's more than a linear path, it's a prism of infinite possibility. We're your guide through these vast possibilities. Listen to Toonhounds and ponder the question..."Is What if a good cartoon?"

This week we're watching the whole first season of Marvel's What If...?, giving our thoughts on the show as a whole and talk about comics a LOT.

Maybe possibly mild spoilers for Multiverse of Madness? Neither of us had actually seen the movie before we recorded this, but you don't know we could be seers.

This episode was available early for Patrons at Patreon.com/Toonhounds

Howdy folks, this week the Toonhounds are talking about kids cartoons based on inappropriate properties, namely Rambo: The Force of Freedom (1986) and The Toxic Crusaders (1991).

We also talk a bit about movies that scared us as kids, Star Trek, and video games (as is tradition)

Greetings and fair tiding to you and yours! The Toonhounds are back in action with another ribtickler of an episode, this time on a revue of rowdy, rambunctious, rubberhose rascals! We talk about the real Queen of the screen Betty Boop, before diving into the grand-daddy of cat cartoons Felix the Cat, before dipping our toe into Cuphead's waters!

Welcome, toon fans! This week, Rich and Spivzy are pouring a nice cool glass of dip and discussing the worldbuilding (or settingbuilding (trademark toonhounds)) of Zootopia and Who Framed Roger Rabbit! We get deep into how these worlds might operate, the importance of ambiguity, and whether movies are too long these days. We probably also talk about things that have absolutely nothing to do with the theme! Good times.

movies watched:

Zootopia (2016)

Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988)

In this week's bumper length episode, the Toonhounds are joined by friend and animator Sam Linstrom to discuss the world of Looney Tunes spinoffs! We discuss how much genre matters to how well a spinoff works, outdated referential humour, and give our own ideas on how we might have made these shows. Then we answered emails as well! It was quite a day.

Shows watched:

The Sylvester & Tweety Mysteries

Duck Dodgers

Loonatics Unleashed
