Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's another podcast about Superman! (Please have your eyes examined.) Yes, we last checked in on the Man of Steel's '90s adaptation during the dawn of COVID, but with Superman fever currently sweeping the nation, there's never been a better time to discuss one of this underappreciated series' finest episodes. So listen in as Superman goes toe-to-toe with one of his most insidious foes: the carceral state!

Hot on the heels of Fox Kids' Batman: The Animated Series and X-Men, Marvel brought us Fantastic Four, the first animated adaptation of the publisher's First Family in over 15 years. And, after a disastrous initial season, the series finally reached the coveted rank of "above average"—though it never went on to be remembered as fondly as its contemporaries. This month on What A Cartoon, join us for the podcast equivalent of clobberin' time as we take a gander at a confused production that did its best to right the ship before the end of its short run.

Our guest: Mike Lawrence from the Nerd of Mouth podcast

What's this? Your regular episode of What A Cartoon, being interrupted by something completely different? No, you're not the victim of a dastardly Joker scheme—though you'll at least hear us talk about one of those. As a little diversion from our regular programming schedule, this month we're swapping out the standard episode of WAC with a brand-new episode of our Blabbin 'Bout Batman miniseries. So listen in as we discuss The Joker's attempts to use the darkest force ever created by humankind: copyright law!

A whole decade before Futurama wowed Fox viewers with its masterful mix of sci-fi and comedy, BBC Two launched Red Dwarf, an outer space version of The Odd Couple set three million years in the future. And, over the course of the last 30-plus years, this cult hit evolved beyond its simple sitcom premise and has seen plenty of planet-hopping adventures, alternate realities, doppelgangers, computer simulations, and GELFs. On this episode of What A Cartoon, join us as we hop 'cross the pond and explore Red Dwarf: the series that embiggened our vocabularies with words like "smeg," "goit," and "gimboid."
