Saturday Mourning Cartoons

Ep 124: Casper 'There's Good Boos To-Night'

We never intended to have this month's theme be 'dead kids' but that's what has happened.  We didn't make these cartoons and we certainly don't know how to grasp the concept of Casper.  Yes, he's a friendly ghost but do you want to be friendly with him?  Probably not, as indicative as his preference to seek friendship in animals instead of people which ultimately ends up allowing him to make a friend!  

Will Dave continued to get spooked by ghost stories?  Will Sean find more puns like 'Good boos' within the cartoon?  (answers; yes and prolly)  All of this and more on this week's episode of the Saturday Mourning Cartoons podcast! 

This week's episode is brought to you by "Ghost Parents."  Just like your regular parents except they're ghosts, which means they are always watching you.  Ghost Parents - try to sleep now, kids!

Ep 123: Mickey Mouse 'Lonesome Ghosts'

This 1937 cartoon asks the question, "did Goofy inspire the music for the 80's hit movie Ghostbusters?"  We're not kidding.  Mickey, Donald, and Goofy prove to us that you don't have to be skilled to have a job at all.  Released three days after Snow White, this cartoon proves that the Disney Trinity really knows how to appeal to your children, I mean, with their use of guns to kills ghosts.  Let's examine that previous sentence again -  you want to KILL a GHOST with a GUN.  Thanks a lot, Disney. 

Will Sean finally understand the phrase "spooky booty?"  Will Dave stop running into pantries and pouring flour and molasses all over his body?  (answer; of course not and NOPE)  All of these questions and more answer on this week's Saturday Mourning Cartoons podcast!

This week's episode is brought to you by "McShivers Vacation Homes."  McShivers Vacation homes - take the 'plunge' with one of our investment properties and your life will never be the same again!  Our prices are so low that it will make you SCREAM!  McShivers - it'll feels like you've died and gone and heaven!

Ep 122: Inhumanoids

What happens when you take a heavy handed message on climate change, mix it with bad science, and a dash of terrible looking battle suits that look ridiculously uncomfortable?  Well, you get the Inhumanoids, of course!  Jamal Newman joins the Earth Core crew to discuss what was a weird cartoon mess from the same jerks that brought you - Jem and the Holograms, Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines, and Robotixs!  This episode will leave you asking important questions like, "How on earth did this show get made?"  and "Is Earth Core sponsored and funded by the US Govt?"  

Will Jamal get blinded by the sun and trapped in amber?  Will Dave build a suit that gives him "bear traps" for arms?  Will Sean be able to cobble together a story from the talking trees?  (answers; yes, maybe, probably)  All of this and more and this week's episode of the Saturday Mourning Cartoons  podcast. 

This week's episode is brought to you by "climate change."  It's a real damn thing!  Let's just stop acting like weird stuff isn't happening all the damn time.  Climate change - BELIEVE IT!

Ep 121: Rick Moranis in Gravedale High

I think that we all remember when Rick Moranis was acting.  Moranis was extremely notable in Ghostbusters, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, and of course the cartoon Gravedale High.  Wait..what?  You didn't know that Moranis was in a short lived cartoon that that asks the question, "what would happen if the undead/creepy children of the Universal Monsters went to high school?"  In order to answer this question, we get into Rick Moranis in Gravedale High on this week's episode of the Saturday Mourning Cartoons podcast.

Will Dave every stop saying his new catchphrase, "man?"  Will Sean be able to understand the complex process of stitching together a small child to make Frankenstein Jr?  All of this and more on this week's episode.

This week is brought to you by "ghosts in your attic."  Who does't love to seal off that room and pretend like they don't exist?  Ghosts in your attic - "they watch you while you sleep!"  

We're kicking off our Monster Madness Month for Halloween.  Join us as we haunt more of your nostalgic past with cartoons from your youth.

Ep 120: Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines - Part 2

Rev your engines for part 2 of Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines.  

This episode is brought to you by "problems."  If you've got a problem, then just do as Yank Justice would do AND drive your car into and through the problem!  Problems - 'drive through them!'

Ep 120: Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines - Part 1

What happens when you put Sean and Dave inside a monster truck?  Well, they both make the decision to re-name themselves and take on monster truck rally personas in this week's episode featuring Bigfoot and the Muscle Machines.  Buckle up with Rocky Road (Dave) and Tank Bicep (Sean) for the monster truck rally of a lifetime.   Bigfoot, the household name of monster trucks from the 80's, had a cartoon and it's every bit as crazy as it sounds.  How can the show NOT be insane with character names like Yank Justice, Prof D, the twins Red and Redder, and Close McCall?!  

Will Dave admit that he's either big, bad, dirty, and/or mean?  Will Sean continue to drive a vehicle straight through all of his problems?  Will Yank Justice every admit to being tender with a woman?  (Answers - yes, to all, probably, and nah)    

We attempt to wrap our heads about this car crash of a cartoon on PART 1 of this week's episode of Bigfoot and the Muscle right here on the Saturday Mourning Cartoon podcast. YEEEEEHAWWWWWW!

Ep 119: Ed, Edd, n Eddy

This week Sean and Dave have a very special guest for a special cartoon.  Dave's brother, Andrew, joins the show to discuss Ed, Edd, n Eddy - a trio of boys who are always out to make a dollar for candy.  Each 'ed' showcases a single interesting facet of childhood - deviousness, compassion, and absurdist behavior.  Rounding out the cul-de-sac, the Ed's have a group of odd-ball friends that makes this show relatable for many fans.  

Will Andrew's 'purgatory' theory hold up?   Will Dave make friends with a 2x4 of wood?  Will Sean continue to live in terror as we have our first death threat on his life to kick off a show?  (answers; maybe, definitely, NEVER)  All of this and more as the gang gets into Ed, Edd, n Eddy on this week's Saturday Mourning Cartoons podcast. 

This week's episode is brought to you by "threats."  Seriously, Andrew?!  Not being called 'Andy' would have been great to know during the pre-show.  Threats - "when you don't like a variation of your very own name!" 

Next week we continue to jump into our listener suggestion box on the Saturday Mourning Cartoons podcast.

Ep 118: North Korean Propaganda cartoons

What happens when you isolate an entire country, tell them they're a democracy, and then elect yourself as supreme leader and ruler?  Guys and gals, you guessed it - we are digging into North Korean propaganda cartoons this week on the Saturday Mourning Cartoons podcast.  We have had several people mention and suggest this style of cartoon and an article on Cracked.com helped us to narrow down the list of toons to cleanse our minds before we defect to North Korea.  (just kidding, that will NEVER happen) 

Will Sean get his fix from Rambo Frog?  Will Dave don a lion's mane like wig and giant paws over his hands?  Will the gang every be able to agree on a single title or moral from any of these episodes?  Find out this week as Sean and Dave explore the Dennis Rodman style insanity of North Korean propaganda cartoons on the Saturday Mourning Cartoons podcast.

This week's episode is brought to you by "Addresses."  Seriously, Dave!  Why would you confirm your address with Sean?  He's just gonna sent you weird stuff in the mail.  Addresses - "you've got mail!"

Ep 117: Mighty Mouse The New Adventures

What happen when you mash together bad puns, (mickey) mouse, and a super hero theme in order to ignite the successful careers of many 90's animators and cartoonists?  Well, you politely tip your hat to the antics of Mighty Mouse the New Adventures!  Melanie Harker, artist and director, returns to talk about one of her favorite cartoons when she was growing up and how she remembers her mom fondly having several episodes on VHS.  Don't worry, we explain what VHS tapes are for the younger listeners.

Will Dave and Sean agree upon how VHS tapes are created?  Will Melanie elaborate on what a "cheese pie" truly is in pop-culture.  Are fingers better than toes?  All of this and more on this week's episode of Saturday Mourning Cartoons.

This weeks episode is brought to you by "mold."  Mold, the stuff that you really do NOT want on the food you eat.  Mold - "Oh, no, I'm gonna be sick!"

Ep 116: Transformers: Combiner Wars

Closing out Transformers month with the reason we even did Transformers month in the first place - Transformers: Combiner Wars.  Machinama and go90 decided to create this series that starts 40 years after the battle on Earth that started in Generation 1.  Paying homage to the past, the new series is released weekly and has created a fun and interested story with an exiled Optimus and Megatron. 

Will Sean pull out all of his hair from 5 solid weeks of Transformers?  Is Dave really a Combiner?  (The answers are trick question because Sean is balding and maybe...)  It's the final episode of our Transformers month with Transformers: Combiner Wars.  

This week's episode is bought to you by patience.  Patience - that thing that we all strive to have a little more of in our life.  Patience - "just relax, bro." 

This is out for Saturday Mourning Cartoons Transformers months.  Next week we're joined by guest Melanie Harker to talk about Mighty Mouse for a full month of listener suggestions.
