N'cha! Too few American fans of Akira Toriyama have seen the anime that first made him a household name in Japan, and that includes James and Krissi. So Pemmy and special guest Kylepedia help them fix that with this examination of the first two episodes of this absolutely goofy series.

1:11:54

Is there any more consistently enduring 80s icon than Mario, the mascot of Nintendo's platforming games? Well, whether you agree with that or not, Mario Bros Mania was indeed everywhere by the end of that decade and this cartoon was the ultimate proof of that. A wild mix of live action segments and goofball cartoons putting the plumbers and company…

3M ago1:25:04

1:25:04

This podcast isn't much like a hurricane, but it come at you fast! DuckTales was Disney's biggest step into television animation to that point, and it was the single biggest harbinger of the 90s Animation Renaissance, paving the way for much of what would follow. Justin Toner joins the podcast crew as we dive into the Money Bin to check out two cla…

1:03:14

You've seen the meme "Every so often a blue dog comes to guide the generations," right? Most folks today can speak to Bluey and Blue's Clues, but what of animation's OG cyan canine, Huckleberry Hound? This gentle, optimistic fellow broke Hanna Barbera's TV animation company to the big time, setting the stage for Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, Top Cat,…

46:21

Al Capp, the cartoonist behind Lil' Abner and (thereby) the original portrayals of the Shmoo, passed away just two months after this show made it onto the air. We can't even begin to imagine what the outspoken Capp must have thought of his parable for the Earth's bounty being turned into a mystery solving shapeshifter. It was one of the last of the…

5M ago1:21:33

1:21:33

Puppy Power Goes Wrong! Or rather, it first goes right then goes wrong? Or goes right in all the wrong ways?

The Ghost and Molly McGee (Disney Television Animation, 2021 to Present) 45:40

6M ago45:40

45:40

In comedy, the law is that diametric opposites are inevitably pulled together just because the universe wants to see personalities clash. Hence, in this modern Disney Channel favorite, the ever optimistic Molly drags curmudgeonly Scratch into misadventure after misadventure. Pemmy and James dip their toes into the house that the mouse built for the…

1:25:30

In the wake of Arleen Sorkin passing away last August, Pemmy, James and Krissi Harding set out to pay tribute to the character she was instrumental in unleashing on the world.

8M ago57:10

57:10

Few criminals in animation history are as notorious or beloved as Lupin the Third, the simultaneously suave and goofy gentleman thief.

Pac-Man (Hanna-Barbera, 1982-1983) 1:08:28

8M ago1:08:28

1:08:28

Video game mania erupted in the early 1980s with the arrival of Namco's revolutionary maze-chase game, so leave it to Hanna-Barbera to turn the property into a dollar store diet cola version of both the Smurfs and the Flintstones. That's just the kind of rut HB was in during the 1980s, sadly, but it's not a complete loss thanks to the efforts of a …

1:41:25

Before Smash Brothers, before any of the Capcom crossover fighting games, before just about any significant gaming crossover, there was a humble little cartoon on NBC called Captain N. DiC let kids live vicariously through Kevin Keene as he's sucked into the worlds of Mega Man, Metroid, Castlevania and more... except a LOT was changed in the transl…

1:14:20

50 Episodes?? YABBA-DABBA-DOO!!! As massive Hanna Barbera nuts, Pemmy and James couldn't think of a better show to watch for this little milestone than their most successful foray into prime time television.

Highlander: The Animated Series (Guamont Multimedia, 1994-1995) 49:24

10M ago49:24

49:24

Pemmy and James wonder if the makers of the original Highlander movie expected anything like this to be spun off from it: a cartoon set 700 years after the apocalypse, where the Immortals give up killing each other except for one malcontent named Kortan. Still, there's prophecy, Macleods, swordplay and some remarkably done backgrounds in this anima…

56:57

Great Scott! The very first original cartoon series from Universal's then newly minted animation firm was a direct follow up to the Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale-helmed movie trilogy. Except... not precisely. The series isn't considered canonical to the films, and looking at these episodes there's any number of potentially valid reasons why. So head…

1:04:31

Underwater adventures! A teenage rock band! Exotic monsters! And best of all, a talking shark! How could Jabberjaw possibly be bad?! Well, there was the fact that the writers at Hanna Barbera have been going to the same "teenage mystery/adventure" well for seven years now and it was starting to dry up.

Arguably one of the most popular series of shorts DePatie-Freling put together that's not directly tied to the Pink Panther film franchise, a debonair ant is perpetually pursued by a back-talking aardvark.

Daffy was most frequently at his Daffiest under the directorial vision of Bob Clampett. The rubbery animation and wild, exaggerated takes he employed made the screwy duck probably his most effective character to express his individual sense of what was funny. Pemmy and James explore one of Bob's earlier Daffy cartoons co-starring with Porky Pig in …
