Well, we made it to 100! Now let's go out on top with some series finales. We're going to watch Home Movies and see how Brendon and friends deal with not knowing how to end things, along with not knowing how to do makeup or build a grill. And then we'll watch Fables of the Green Forest, and find out what happens when furry woodland creatures need to sleep for the winter. Turns out not much! Plus, we both reflect on the things we've done, and the things we didn't get to do. We made it 100 episodes without talking about the Smoggies!
Cartoons in this episode:Home Movies, "Focus Grill"Fables of the Green Forest, "Johnny's Hibernation"

Cartoons? Cartoons! Cartoons about cartoons! We'll watch an episode of Tiny Toon Adventures called Animaniacs!, where Plucky learns what cartoons are and how they work, and everything anyone ever needed to know about comedy beats or beets. Meanwhile, we won't learn anything from Ren and Stimpy making and producing their own cartoon, but maybe we'll learn what's wrong with Wilbur Cobb (no, we won't). Plus, Matsy watches more Bluey and ventures into previously unseen Ralph Bakshi, while Micah watches and reads all kinds of things, from feet to questionably canonical Oz. Walter Lantz!

It's another one of those times where we started without a theme, but got one anyway: things that have the same title as more famous things! First of all, we're looking at the OTHER Ghostbusters, and how they deal with spaceships. Huh. And then we look at what happens when Dorothy returns to Oz, but not according to Disney. Turns out it's very similar to what happened the first time. Plus, Micah also returns to Oz, in a book where the increasingly sick-of-Oz Frank L. Baum starts importing characters from his other works in a desperate attempt to keep himself interested in churning these things out, while Matsy is enamored with a cartoon for very small Australian children starring a blue puppy. All this, and we dig into the Animation Cel-ery mailbag!

For our theme this week, we picked forgotten or disliked cartoons that at least one of us enjoyed. We have one of Asia's million adaptations of Journey to the West, in this case made super cool for the 90's in the form of Monkey Magic. And we have the Disney animated series that didn't make it to the afternoon, starring the Wuzzles. Plus, Matsy discusses things that disappoint him about repeated visits to the Avatarverse (which is ironic) and repeated visits to Neo Edo with Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles, while Micah reads more Oz and finishes with Steven Universe once and for all. Come on, Monkey, download this podcast!

For a fantastical Valentine's Day, let's look at love. First, we investigate what happens when a lonely sheep in a big city spots a kindred... coat of fur. And THEN we'll see what happens IF a mouse feels guilty about giving his best friend short shrift in exchange for delicious baked goods. Plus, Micah continues watching SUF, and also checks out some commentary for Speed Racer, while Matsy looks long and hard at what it means to be GM in a game of Avatar Legends. IF you listen to our podcast, THEN we'll be very grateful!

Okay, so this time is all about animals, I guess. Bobo the elephant wants to join the circus, but first he needs to get on a boat for people. And two different versions of three little pigs are trying to evade wolves by ensconcing themselves in homes of varying levels of security. Wonder how that'll turn out. But the most dangerous animal is man, especially when men want to beat each other up for fun; they just didn't count on one of the men being Popeye! Plus, Matsy fills in the gaps in his knowledge of the Avatarverse by watching The Legend of Korra, while Micah continues with Steven Universe Future and non-animated Oz books. And I edited out some of the more ridiculous miscommunications we had while recording.

We had a theme of troublemakers, and it's funny how things work out sometimes; we each gave the other a cartoon we thought they'd hate, and then it turned out they didn't hate it as much as we did. Does that make sense? Let me explain. Matsy gave Micah an episode of Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventures that he thought was the worst thing since Ned's Newt, but it turned out Micah kinda liked it! And Micah gave Matsy an episode of Speed Racer that he thought would annoy him tremendously, but Matsy was ready for it. Maybe the real troublemakers were us. Plus, Micah revisits Steven Universe in the Future and keeps reading Oz books from the past, while Matsy considers an unexpected turn in the Rick and Morty saga and digs into the questionable films of Ralph Bakshi. Come check it out, but don't listen to podcasts while driving cars!

Kiss me, Princess. You've stumbled onto our discussion of The Legend of Zelda! We're watching what the internet has determined are the three best episodes of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show's Friday afternoon Hylian diversions, so kiss me, Princess. First we get to see an alicorn... sorry, we get to see a FLYING UNICORN interrupt Link's attempts to get Zelda to kiss him. Then we see (kiss me, Princess) a questionable medieval waterpark with butt-shredding brick slides. And we finally get rid of (kiss me, Princess) Link for a while so maybe Zelda can have some respite from sexual harassment. Unless she actually loves her stalker, but what are the chances of that? Kiss me, Princess. And to cap things off, we'll take a look at the sequel, as Captain N ventures into Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, which presumably takes place in Zeldaland. All this and more! Kiss me, Princess. This always happens. ExcuuUUuuse me, Princess. Also kiss me.

Hey, we need to catch up on 2023! And we're going to catch up on things we always meant to give each other in 2022, but never found the time. Matsy, being a terrible friend, inflicted Ned's Newt upon us, while the benevolent Micah treated us to an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants that is... shocking. Good times were had by some! Plus, we look at our top 5 podcast things from 2022, Micah makes up another banger of a cartoon, and Matsy details the note he got from the doctor explaining why this episode is a week late. Are you feeling it now?

Let's make it quick so you can get back to important holiday activities like listening to the previous 90 episodes again! We're going to watch some Christmas things, like Bill Plympton's rapid-fire storytelling of twisted Christmas tales, and Louie Anderson's cleaned-up recounting of his abusive childhood holidays. Plus, Matsy considers Ash Ketchum's retirement from the sport of Pokémon, and Micah makes up his own cartoons about stand-up comedians. I heard that.

Hey, come watch some cold cartoons with us! Micah has to watch a couple of things from the National Film Board of Canada, featuring a guy covering up his gross negligence and the utter scandal of a Habs fan having to rep the Leafs. Meanwhile, Matsy observes the gross negligence of the makers of 60's Popeye and an amusing look at the debut of Boba Fett in the Star Wars universe. Or... galaxy. Plus, Micah looks at someone look at Adventure Time trading cards and watches She-Ra steam toward its conclusion, while Matsy watches old Muppet pilots and coffee commercials, and tries to investigate whether Rick and Morty is lazy or parody. Happyk Christmask tok allk!

Today we look at strength. That's pretty holiday-themed, right? We start by maxing out the scale with One Punch Man, who may or may not be the strongest man; we'll find out by the end of the episode. Then we look at The Simp- I mean, The Flintstones, and find out what it meant to be the strongest man-baby in prehistory. Plus, Matsy FINALLY gets to watch Viking Skool and see if it has any good bards, heroes, or wolf girls, while Micah checks on the state of tabletop RPGs and their accoutrements in Japan, and also the state of bizarre adventures. Bamm bamm!

This week, we honor the world's greatest Batman, Kevin Conroy, by watching Batman: Mask of the Phantasm. A dark caped crusader is killing mobsters, and everyone thinks it's Batman. But Batman doesn't kill, so what gives? Is there a new costumed crimefighter in Gotham? On a completely unrelated note, Bruce Wayne's ex-fiance has also come back to town after ten years. That'll probably work out fine for him. Plus, Micah gets to the part of She-Ra with Mica and watches gothic anime The Girl from the Other Side, while Matsy finds a new cartoon that isn't in English, so he watches 1972 Hanna-Barbara sitcom Wait Till Your Father Gets Home instead. Wait till you hear this podcast!

Well, the idea was cartoons about celebrities, and we did that. But we also tapped into a very specific pool of celebrities, it turned out. Matsy has to watch The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, featuring young Koopalings who were still trying to figure out who they were and two very special guest stars who were not who they seemed. And Micah is watching Hammerman, which definitely has who it seemed to have as a celebrity star, but maybe didn't have as much as you'd think in the way of... I don't know... animation? Plus, Matsy is playing a video game in which you have to catch 'em all while wondering who caught all the frames per second and where they hid them, and also watched a thing on Netflix called Oddballs about some guy and an alligator and a toaster, while Micah watches a movie about someone who did parodies of songs by both our celebrity guests, on the same album! Weird!

Today is for animals. We have two penguins, one cold and one not so much, one dealing with Smedley the dog and one dealing with Bugs the bunny. We also have a man who is also a spider, and he has to deal with an obsessed newsman and a ridiculous rob't. And then we have a bunch of weird Russian critters, walking. Plus, Micah updates us on the men of She-Ra and whether Wendell & Wild is worth watching, while Matsy leads us on a trip through fun place names. Your place is here, at Animation Cel-ery.

Everybody got your Movember mustaches growing? Well, we've got you covered! The Tick has a mustache, apparently, and we're going to get to the bottom of where it came from. And then we'll look at how mustaches relate to puberty and plumbers in Gumball's amazing world. Plus, Matsy catches up with the Infinity Train, and Micah continues with She-Ra, Bee and Puppycat, and halflings. See ya.

Oh look, it's cartoons that get things wrong. Like this farm cartoon about a bull with udders. Or this space cartoon where you can basically forget everything you know about space, except don't actually because there'll be a quiz at the end! Plus, Micah considers Scorpia's anatomy (if you know what I mean) and makes up his own gritty reboot of The Flintstones, while Matsy remembers Jules Bass. Play this podcast loud, especially in space where everyone can definitely hear it!

Hey, Matsy finally gets to talk about the movie he won't shut up about! It's the 1983 epic that almost ruined Nelvana, in which an aging rock star in post-apocalyptic furryland tries to reinvigorate his career by summoning the devil? How was this a box office failure?! Plus, Matsy remembers the time he watched an episode of Family Guy while playing lightsabers with Gary Coleman, and Micah gets into the spirit with Vampire Hunter D (along with his usual She-Ra and Simpsons). It's the biggest thing since World War III!
Movie in this episode:Rock & Rule

Hey, here's something creepy: Animation Cel-ery! We're going to be watching a cartoon where Betty Boop listens to a ghost walrus sing Cab Calloway. Something from Russia about oddities going in a straight line. A ghost named Casper looking for friends, believe it or not. And anime robots accosting an anime drunk. Plus, Micah watches more of She-Ra and The Simpsons, while Matsy terrifies himself with the most embarrassing corner of Ren & Stimpy's canon.

What's theoretically scary in content but actually scary in execution? Let's find out! We'll start with Bump in the Night, in which the monster under the bed is a baby and fights a bread. And then we'll watch The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa do the things you totally expect The Lion King's Timon and Pumbaa to do: play Katamari Damacy and spend the night in a haunted house. Plus, Micah gives us his hottest takes on She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, and Matsy continues his horror month by watching one of MTV's post-Beavis & Butt-Head head-based horrors. Hakuna matata!
