Episode 38: Just, like, a Bunch of Bonus Features.

The Ka-Chat ·

2020/02/17

Hey, so we didn't have a plan for this one before we got together to record it, so we just kind of watched a bunch of the bonus content on the various Carsverse DVDs at Lucas's apartment. Don't get me wrong though, those contained some incredibly dark deleted scenes from Cars, a few truly bizarre episodes from the Planes movies, and one short that contains just inordinate amounts of poop. Like, take whatever you think is "too much poop to be explicitly shown in a Carsverse feature." and just

Episode 37: Poli-Trucks

2020/02/10

Listen. I feel as if I should warn you right off the bat, this one does contain at least ten minutes of us just kinda spiraling about the current state of our democracy, so.... sorry about that! But in the bits that aren't that, we do make some points about politics in the Carsverse! We also spend, like, a sizable chunk of the episode just kind of talking about the mechanics of inflatable rafts in this universe of sentient vehicles. Not politics, but still pretty fun! Please vote! Please please

2020/02/03

Paging Dr. The Ka-Chat, you are needed in the.... podcast wing, I guess? Man. That one was a stretch, even for these little descriptions I write that I'm not sure anyone reads. ANYWAY, this week, we are talking about the world of medicine in the Carsverse! Where is the line between doctor and mechanic? How does disease spread, and how do they handle it? And what kind of sick medical experiments has that one forklift from Planes: Fire & Rescue done? Come find out, stat! Oh no, the joke doesn't have a

Episode 35: Auto-Biographies: Flo

The Ka-Chat ·

2020/01/27

Ok, right off the bat, we do a remarkably bad job talking about Flo in this one. Not completely (Flo's is a sonic.) and not because there is a lack of things to talk about regarding Flo, her business, her relationship, and her former life as a member of the Doo-Wop group The Motorama Girls. It's uh..... mostly because we're bad at this? Like, that's the big thing about it. We do talk about those things though! And it's still a good episode! We just also talk about farts and stuff for a bit.

Episode 34: Dungeons & Dragsters

2020/01/20

Well met, traveller! Hast thou come seeking adventure? Adventure being centered mostly around a series of Pixar and Disneytoon Studios movies? Well, do I have.... alright news for you, I guess. We don't actually, uh.... do any adventuring this episode? We just figure out the mechanics of a Cars based RPG system? That's right everyone, in what critics are calling "Their most niche episode yet, and that's really saying something." and "Like, it's still funny and stuff, but I can't stress this enough,

Episode 33: Wheeled Wide Web

The Ka-Chat ·

2020/01/13

Oh thank god, finally a subject we know something about! That's right folks, this week we're diving right into cyberspace to explore what the internet and computers would be like in the Carsverse. (Fun fact: The internet is where The Ka-Chat lives.) So you KNOW we're talking about how they browse with no hands, whether these computers are built into them, and if they are, what the implications are of a sentient being that is hackable. Oh, also Lucas went to Disney World this past week and met

Episode 32: "Cars 4: A Cars Story"

The Ka-Chat ·

2020/01/06

Ya know, after our success pitching, producing, and starring in the critically acclaimed, and massively successful movie "Boats: The Search for McQueen," we figured that it was time again to milk this cash cow. Therefore, please sit back and enjoy our pitch for "Cars 4: A Cars Story," a more intimate and small scale look at the every day life of the citizens of Radiator Springs and the impact that Lightning's celebrity has brought to their sleepy little town.

Episode 31: The Tallest of Mater's Tales

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/12/30

Alternate titles for this episode: "The Tow-mi-Mater" and "Nothing Matters, Mater can Time Travel." That's right folks, we are heading back to the land of Mater's stories for the final entry in his book: "Time Travel Mater." Mater can, in fact, travel through time. Which is... challenging, to say the least. Join as we discuss the founding of Radiator Springs, how Cars would golf (I promise it is related to the episode), and the implications of an all-powerful, master of all times Mater. We even dust

Episode 30: Can we legally title this "Happy...

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/12/23

Probably not, right? BUT we can probably title it the nonsense we did title it! Probably. Maybe. We aren't really basing that anything. We, uh.... don't know the law. Please don't sue us, Honda. This is probably good publicity? Well, anyway, this is our Holiday Special! We talk about the elusive Santa Car, the fact that Cars is basically a Hallmark movie, and because we can't go just ONE episode without bringing some horror, the sad realities of icy roads in the Carsverse and some good ole fashioned

Episode 29: We Finally Watch Mater's Tall Tales

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/12/16

Ok, so.... the thing is.... Listen, I don't know how to make a fun little description about this one. There's just so much that happens in this one, folks. Mater is a doctor. Mater is a plane. Mater is a wrestler. Mater can fly. Mater is a fire truck. Mater is a detective. Mater is a rock star. Mater is part alien, maybe? Mater is all-knowing and all-seeing. Mater is, well, everything. Mater was here before us, and you can bet that he will be here after us. As he has written in the ancient texts,

Episode 28: Ferry Tales

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/12/09

Once upon a time, there were two young men who were simply obsessed with a series of movies fully intended and marketed towards children. One day, they decided to explore the world of fantasy and fairy tales within this magical universe. Around this time, the one writing the description for the episode got tired of this gimmick and sort of gave up on it. So... yeah! We talk about different fantasy races and creatures in the Carsverse, how fairy tales would have played out, and I feel bad for

Episode 27: The Final Front-Tire

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/12/02

It's an awful big universe out there, and I'd say it's about time we explored a bit more of it. That's right folks, this week we are boldly going and exploring the cosmos! Join us as we take a close look at rockets and satellites in the Carsverse, what space exploration would look like for a species of sentient vehicles, and of course, close encounters of the third gear. (Honestly, if we ever circle back and do a full devoted episode to aliens in the Carsverse, I'm defo gonna use that as the title

Episode 26: Cars of Duty: Combat

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/11/25

You know, we've wanted to get into war in the Carsverse for a while, but honestly, it's such a big thing, we had to break it up into a few parts. So uh.... new miniseries, expect a few more in the Cars of Duty series coming your way in the future! Anyway, this time we get into the physical methods of fighting and combat in the Carsverse, which, for the record, does canonically confirm the existence of war, like, way too many times. So we are get into weaponry, tanks and warships, and just get kinda

Episode 25: Law & Order: SUV

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/11/18

So, listen. There's a scene in the first Cars movie in which Lightning McQueen is brought into a court with no jury and without ever being offered bail, assigned Mater as his lawyer without ever being able to contact his real legal team, sentenced to "community service" (a sentence in which he is held indefinitely while completing incredibly grueling labour and being starved of fuel), and then court is adjourned. From start to finish, this takes around 4 minutes. So uh.... that's pretty messed up,

Episode 24: Auto-Biographies: The Air Attack Team

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/11/11

You know how we did an episode on Planes: Fire & Rescue, like, four episodes ago? Well, we couldn't stop thinking about the fire fighting team from it, so we decided to go back to Piston Peak and do a whole episode on them! Interested in Maru's incredibly advanced medical techniques? Maybe you wanna hear about Cabbie's military service, or Lil' Dipper's strange obsession with Dusty? Well.... Good! We talk about all of that. That's why I listed all of it. It was intentional.

2019/11/04

Light a candle or two, put on some music, and pour yourself a little oil, cause this week, Lucas and John are getting a bit romantic. Join us as we explore all the different ways Cars live with and around each other in this crazy little world they inhabit. We cover all the bases, from friendship to puppy love to weddings and marriage. We also attempt and pretty immediately fail to avoid talking about how Car sex works, as well as discuss whether Lightning lives in Mack all the time, or just some of

Episode 22: The Van-pires Theory

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/10/28

Listen. I don't want to freak you out. But be forewarned. We have a doozy of Halloween Spooktacluar here for you all. We watched all 13 episodes of 1997's best show about teens that are also cars that are also vampires, and man. I want you to imagine how bad you think a show called Van-pires from the late 90's that was cancelled after 13 episodes and leans heavily on early CGI animation would be. Well, go ahead and triple it. Also, we figure out how it's linked to Cars, cause, I dunno. We

Episode 21: MOTORCYCLES

Time to... rev it up? Get on that ole iron steed? Ride... a motorcycle? Listen. John is the one who knows things about motorcycles, and I (Lucas) am writing this at like 1 a.m. when I've got to go to work in the morning, so like... forgive me if I'm a little thin on the fun motorcycle stuff to interject into this description. Anyway, this is our motorcycle episode! Despite no motorcycles actually appearing in these movies at any point, we do go on to decide that motorcycles are H.G. Wells style,

Episode 20: We Finally Watch Planes: Fire & Rescue

The Ka-Chat ·

2019/10/14

Listen. Yes, we have now watched all the feature length films in the Carsverse. That's great. A momentous occasion. But I have to gloss over that fact, because we did a pretty big goof. As a matter of fact, we did a lot of tiny goofs over the course of the past several months, in that we did not actually know the name of this movie until the day we recorded this episode. It... kind of throws us for a loop. We can't really get focused on, ya know, talking about the movie for a while because of it

Episode 19: Boats: The Search for McQueen

2019/10/07

Hey uh, Hollywood? Just wanted to let you know, you might want to make some room. Cause your two favorite Carscasters are coming crashing right in. That's right folks. We decided that the fame and fortune that The Ka-Chat provides wasn't quite enough, and so we're grabbing a new golden goose. So come peek in on our brainstorming session for our pitch for a new Carsverse spin-off: Boats: The Search for McQueen.
