A lot has changed since 2017 when Hector originally interviewed the SpongeBob showrunners on the Nickelodeon Animation Podcast. The tragic passing of its creator and the expansion of the SpongeBob Universe marked a new era for the beloved series. Despite all that has changed Marc Ceccarelli and Vincent Waller have carried the torch throughout these evolutions.

Pizza Delivery / Home Sweet Pineapple Dec 09, 2021

Show notes

Can we blame Mr. Krabs for the famously unsatisfied, angry Krusty Krab pizza customer? Why would Squidward stand up for SpongeBob? Plus, we’re taken to Frankie’s Marine Biology Corner, where Professor Grande teaches us about real nematodes. Hector claims “Pizza Delivery” is his favorite SpongeBob segment of all time, and Frankie says the same about “Home Sweet Pineapple.” Though we all know both will change their minds as they continue their binge...Let’s just let them believe it, at least for this 25 minute conversation.
