What A Cartoon! - The Kids in the Hall "Season 3, Episode 14"
Welcome once again to live-action month on What A Cartoon, where YOU are the fool. (An April Fool, if you will...) In our sixth podcast about a live-action show that has very cartoony qualities, we're digging into the classic Canadian sketch comedy program, Kids in the Hall. This collection of m...
Talking Simpsons Network - The April 2024 Schedule
It's April, which means live-action month on the Talking Simpsons Network has arrived once again! And for the sixth year in a row, we're abandoning the world of animation (temporarily) to have some self-indulgent fun with topics we otherwise couldn't cover. So join us as we kick off the ...

What A Cartoon Movie! - Chicken Little
With other animated studios making them look irrelevant, Disney had no choice but to jump into the world of full CGI at the beginning of the 21st century. And these first shaky steps in a new medium arrived in the form a Chicken Little, a movie that had the responsibility of launching a new era for ...
Talking Simpsons - 'Scuse Me While I Miss the Sky

Talking Futurama - Spanish Fry
The penultimate Fox Futurama episode also ends up being the horniest one thanks to a thrilling 22 minutes mostly devoted to the human wing-dang-doodle.

Talking Simpsons - C.E.D'oh

We are nearing the end of John Swartzwelder's time writing for the show, and he's turned in a quality script as the show gets political again in 2003. Krusty is a celebrity running for public office (can you believe it) and has the support of The Simpsons and Republicans. But is it possible ...

What A Cartoon Movie! - Bambi
We're continuing our journey through Disney in the 1940s with a look at Bambi, the final feature film before the studio's lucrative (but messy) "war propaganda" period. Though the story's same beats were copied by the much-more-successful The Lion King 50 years later, Bambi exist...
