Chosen by premium patron ToonJay, we're doing another mid-'00s classic, this time one of the biggest hits on Cartoon Network that pushed digital animation forward on a TV budget. As we explore how Craig McCracken and Lauren Faust built Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, we dig into both of their careers and how Foster's changed them. Then, we dig into the season 4 ep about bus theft, lying, mattresses, and deep Star Wars references. Grab your correct change for the toll road and listen now!

Welcome once again to live-action month on What A Cartoon, where YOU are the fool. (An April Fool, if you will...) In our sixth podcast about a live-action show that has very cartoony qualities, we're digging into the classic Canadian sketch comedy program, Kids in the Hall. This collection of maple-leaf misfits helped define alternative comedy in just five short years and a surprising amount of episodes. And, thanks to frequent Comedy Central reruns, their cult show gradually built up enough of a fanbase to go on regular tours, produce new shows, and even reboot their old series 25 years after the original run reached its natural conclusion. So sit back and recall your last average weekend as we explore this highly influential comedy series that both delighted and warped us throughout the '90s.
