Spring has sprung, so Will & Lucas are a bit more peppy as they take time to pitch the Bud back-door pilot in "Adventures in Budylon" and see more depth for the title character in "Ladonna Compson: Party Animal."

Elwood City Limits Episode 195: Time Doesn't Exist Anymore (with Kash!) Apr 28, 2023

Show notes

Kash returns to cap off season 16 of Arthur with one of the more controversial episodes of the Flash era in "So Funny I Forgot To Laugh," followed by the return of the clip show in "The Best Day Ever." Kash goes into details of his role in the animation industry on the new Disney Channel show "Kiff", and has some great observations about the "Flash" style of animation and what actually goes on behind the scenes on a modern cartoon. The two also have a lot to say about Arthur's seemingly out-of-character role and the use of classic footage, Will wonders if Sue Ellen will ever get her due, and they even sneak a bit of tokusatsu chat in there, too...

Show notes

On the eve of vacation, Will syncs up with Lucas to judge both French accents in "Fern and the Case of the Stolen Story," and a supposedly controversial episode in "Sue Ellen Vegges Out." Along the way, an email helps the guys revist some funny memories, and they talk about auto-fiction, long cameras, what Lucas gave up for Lent, and oh no...not the animal hierarchy!!!

Elwood City Limits Episode 193: Mass-Market Formulaic Trash Apr 14, 2023

Show notes

The guys are definitely surprised when they encounter a surprising Arthur book take in "Buster's Book Battle," and a surprisingly deep exploration of criticism in "On The Buster Scale." Will and Lucas have a lot to say about the value of criticism and the ideal relationship one should have to art, but they also talk some goofier stuff including Wrestlemania, TVO, Percy Jackson, and a surprise Arthur cameo...
