What A Cartoon! - South Park "A Very Crappy Christmas" Dec 28, 2020

Show notes

We're finally goin' on down to South Park for a look at the series that put Trey Parker and Matt Stone on the map, and has remained a Comedy Central mainstay for nearly 25 years! And since the series started its life as a Christmas-related short, it's only fair that we tackle a Christmas episode of South Park that celebrates the origins of the series well before the creators knew they'd be making episodes for 20 more years.

Listen in and learn about the surprisingly prolific careers of Parker and Stone before their hit series took off, how something as unusual and vulgar as South Park ever snuck onto TV, and just where the series has gone in the passing decades. Happy Holidays from all of us to all of you—even if you don't eat fiber on Christmas Eve.

What A Cartoon! - A Garfield Christmas Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

It's time for the first of two holiday cartoons for the end of 2020! After covering Garfield's Halloween toon in 2018, we return again to the Monday-hater's second holiday special. Garfield hates heading to the farm for Christmas, until he sees that he can eat a bunch of stuff and hang out with a rockin' Grandma Arbuckle. All that plus a mix of sad stories and confusing Odie side plots in this week's seasonal podcast!

What A Cartoon! - Animaniacs (2020) "Episode 8" Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

Nothing from the '90s can truly stay dead, so it was only a matter of time before we saw a revival of Warner Bros.' Silver Age of animation with the return of Animaniacs. And while it could have been a cheap, cynical cash-in, the presence of Steven Spielberg assured that someone spent a whole lot of money on this series—which rarely happens in the world of streaming. Sure, the actors sound a bit older, and the new animation takes a bit of time to get used to, but this reboot stays incredibly faithful to the original spirit of the show. So fill your slacks with your favorite stacks of cold cuts and get ready for our deep dive into the return of the Warners!
