What A Cartoon! - TV Funhouse - "Christmas Day" Dec 11, 2023

Show notes

Our holiday cartoon podcast tradition continues, and this time we're covering one of the cult classics of pre-9/11 Comedy Central. Not only do we go into the career of Robert Smigel that led to his unlikely position as a big-time animation writer, but we also show how one cheap dog puppet led to an empire of TV Funhouse. Then learn about the many holiday classics parodied in this 2000-era sketch show full of filth and Jesus Christ, along with a healthy dose of Christmas tension. So grab your tail and listen!

What A Cartoon! - Daria "Fire!" Sep 11, 2023

Show notes

It's been over five years since we last covered Daria, and while little has happened in terms of the show's potential reboot, that doesn't mean we've expended all of our possible thoughts on this beloved MTV cartoon. (Which may be why this podcast is nearly three hours long.)

Last time, we examined an episode where the series outgrew its "Daria owns the normies" formula, and this time, we're looking at the show evolve into something with a lot more continuity, as the love triangle plot kicks off and threatens to tear Daria and Jane apart. So listen in, and join us as we embrace the apathy of the '90s and discuss our favorite cynical teens of the era!
