We were finally able to get our hands on a box of the Super Mario Cereal, so it was the perfect time to team-up with the Saturday Morning Tooncast! First, we talk about the Nintendo Labo announcement and what it could mean for the Nintendo Switch. Then, we switch formats with our guest Jeremy to…
SMT015 – Bob’s Burgers and Cookie Crisp
On this week’s Tooncast, Jeremy and Danielle discuss the ever-evolving, love-filled world of Bob’s Burgers. They chat about Sunday FOX animation, the upcoming Bob’s Burgers movie, the urban setting vs. suburban settings in other animated family comedies, Louise’s bunny ears, and another trip to Danielle’s Depressing Fan Theory Corner to learn about how some people…
SMT14 – Taz Mania and Golden Crisp
Danielle is back this week with a look at two episodes of the complicated and deeply problematic Looney Tunes spin-off (emphasis on the spin), Taz Mania! We discuss Danielle’s weird Jawbreaker necklace, the political incorrectness of portraying Australian aborigines as upper class white Americans, Danielle’s complete inability to place the release year of classic animation,…
SMT013: Tiny Toon Adventures and Frosted Mini-Wheats
This week, Jeremy and returning substitute co-host Erica take a look at recent Hulu addition, Steven Spielberg Presents Tiny Toon Adventures. A classic. So good. We take a look at the first episode, where Babs and Buster create the show from scratch overnight and the Acme Acres Zone, the Tiny Toon take on The Twilight…
SMT12: Charlie Brown, Foster’s and Fruity Pebbles
Welcome to 2018 from your friends at the Saturday Morning Tooncast. We ring in the new year with a Charlie Brown New Year’s special, Happy New Year, Charlie Brown where the sad, bald child is forced to read the works of Leo Tolstoy and dance against his will. Danielle follows up with the delightful Foster’s…
SMT11: The Simpsons and Holiday Rice Krispies
Special Christmas Episode! This week, we try to play with the format a little bit. Jeremy starts with a little Rice Krispies and Simpsons history monologue (a convention he shamelessly stole from one of his favorite off-network podcasts, Doughboys). We celebrate the holidays with a pair of Christmas episodes from our fave ‘toon, The Simpsons. The…
SMT10: Nicktoons Out of the Vault Again [Part 2], Hot Cocoa Puffs
This week with our milestone TENTH episode, we head back into the mysterious Nicktoons bargain bin DVD to see what treasures it has to offer. After accidentally reading the episode titles off the DVD, Danielle goes first with a couple episodes of CatDog and Jeremy follows with a few episodes of Rocko’s Modern Life. We…
SMT09: Nicktoons Out of the Vault Again [Part 1], Trix
What lies within the mysterious Nicktoons DVD? Toon in to find out! Or we’ll just tell you. Danielle starts things off with the Nicktoon she couldn’t help but call dibs on, Ahh!!! Real Monsters, the scare-filled monster Nicktoon by Gabor Csupo. We watch an ep about Obleena’s human suit and one about a friendly bark-and-bite named Fungus….
SMT08: Cowboy Bebop, Futurama, Blueberry Morning
We are taking our first animated trip overseas with an episode of the Japanese anime series Cowboy Bebop (Cool your transforming jets, weaboos. This may not happen again). We discuss the somewhat controversial episode Cowboy Funk, arguably the most cartoony episode of Bebop. Maybe 2nd to Mushroom Samba? Then we travel far into the future and…
SMT07: Rugrats, Animaniacs, Peanut Butter Crunch
Danielle is back hosting this week and starts things off with a Nicktoon classic, Rugrats. We watch an episode where the sky falls and one where the babies make some TV in a cardboard box. Do Stu and Didi have a good marriage? Did Dil ruin everything? Are all the babies some sick delusion of…
SMT06: Batman, Spongebob, Thin Mints
This week is a bit of a change. Not only are we recording on a much worse mic (sorry), but the part of Danielle is being played by Jeremy’s girlfriend Erica. While not the cartoon obsessive Danielle is, she is a proper comic nerd and totally obsessed with Spongebob, which was her pick for the…
SMT05: Garfield Thanksgiving, Pound Puppies, Fruit Loops
Whoops. We are posting episode 6 before episode 5 because Danielle is out of town and the file for episode 5 is trapped on her computer. Shouldn’t really matter, but this episode does reference things we discussed in episode 5. We’re still figuring out this whole podcasting thing, folks. Be patient. This week, Jeremy takes a look at…
