What A Cartoon! - The Brak Show "President Dad" Nov 22, 2021

Show notes

Brak emerged from the depths of a crummy action cartoon of the 60s, became one of the Cartoon Network's biggest stars 30 years later, and had less than a decade under his belt before fading back into obscurity. And the tail-end of Brak's brush with fame brought The Brak Show, a send-up of lousy sitcoms meant to be the shining star of Cartoon Network's new late-night lineup. This week, join us as we look at this Adult Swim classic, as well as the phenomenon behind the whimsical cat-boy known as Brak. It'll be more fun than a bag of wigs!

What A Cartoon! - Garfield's Thanksgiving Nov 08, 2021

Show notes

First, we covered Garfield's Halloween toon in 2018, then we did A Garfield Christmas in 2020, and now it's time to finish the trilogy! Yes, we're doing Garfield's Thanksgiving! Somehow turkey day ends up being spent on a vet-enforced diet for Garfield, all while Jon gets worried about his big date with Liz, and somehow the day is saved by the return of the rockin' Grandma Arbuckle. All that plus Odie blowing a whistle a lot in this week's thankful podcast!
