Ep 144: Robotech vs Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/03/13

Second week of our March Mecha Madness month continues with Robotech vs Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Robotech (the Macross Saga) is three separate anime that have been cut together. Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam is a boring entry into a series that many people love. How will they pair against one another? What will be the result of this year's tournament? Will Dave discover that he's three separate anime series mashed into one person? Will Sean stumble while piloting a Gundam and write an apology note

Ep 143: Ninja Robot vs Gurren Lagann

2017/03/06

Get ready for the best bracket of your life! In March, we pit two shows head to head each week! Last year we tackled "Pocket Monsters" and Pokemon came out on top. This year, we're bringing you "Mecha March Madness Month!" To kick things off, we have Ninja Robot vs. Gurren Lagann! Will Dave trade-in his "underground smock" for some side boob action? Will Sean attempt to explain to a cop why he's in possession of a firearm while drinking under age in a bar on Mars? (answers: a resounding YES

Ep 142: James Bond Jr

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/02/27

Bond. James Bond...had a kid. Let's all be very clear. You heard us! We're all lying to James Bond Jr to allow James Bond to avoid paying child support. This is crazy. We're 99.99% sure that you can't have an "junior" suffix for a name if it's NOT a direct child, right? We're now very confused but not as confused as a weird smattering of people that are enrolled at the Warfield Academy. Relatives of Q, Felix Leiter, and the actual Buddy Mitchell; this cast of characters is insane. The villains

Ep 141: Big Guy and Rusty

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/02/20

This cartoon starts with a lie. Not just a lie to one or two people but a lie to the entire world except for a handful of military personnel. The US government has been lying to us about the BIG GUY. That's right. He's not a huge robot but rather, it's a robot suit that is worn by a pilot. A human, honest to goodness, flesh and blood human being, who is tasked with the awesome responsibility of protecting the world. The nerve! The treachery! The idea of decommissioning the Big Guy? What

Ep 140: GI Joe Sigma Six

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/02/13

GI Joe is a sacred cartoon in the ancient halls of the SMC podcast. These General Infantry Soldiers are in the upper eschelon of cartoons that is reserved for animation that has defined our childhood. We understand that reboots will happen and we look forward to seeing our beloved childhood nostalgia with a new coat of paint. Or in this case - a new coat of paint, mecha suits, a castle rocket, and the world's WORST game of chess! Oh, and spoiler - GI Joe becomes a terrorist organization?! It's

Ep 139: Sectaurs: Warriors of Symbion

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/02/06

Here's recipe for disaster: Take 1 whole "star planet," add in a "perfect world," and a dash of "biological experiment?" If you guessed that we're going to mutate an entire planet into bug people, then you guessed correct. How does a perfect society have an experiment that goes so wrong that it contaminants an entire world? We have no clue but we're on the line with OSHA and ask those questions right now! Will Dave ever fly as high as an Alta Fly? Will Sean attempt to eBay the spider toy he

Ep 138: Invader Zim

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/01/30

Invading the planet Earth is hard! It's so HARD, guys and gals. **stomps foot down** Thankfully we get to bring along our trusty GIR. What? GIR has destroyed most of the house and is now freaking out because he wants tacos?! The nerve! The impudence! The tacos! I'll report this minor success to the Tallest...oh, they don't want to talk right now. Never you fear! I will report my success. I am successful. Things are good! **implodes** Will Dave ever get a chance to eat at the Pizza Pig

Ep 137: As Told By Ginger

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/01/23

This is a interesting week for us because we are two white men in our 30's watching a cartoon about teenage girls in high school. How are we going to identify? How are we going to understand the delicate nature and balance of all these emotional relationships? To answer your question - we LOVED this show. Seriously. No sarcasm. We really loved every moment of this show and how it handled navigating relationships in high school. Both Sean and Dave are incredibly impressed by this show and its

Ep 136: Rocket Power

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/01/16

What happens when you give a handful of kids ZERO supervision and allow them to get involved in extreme sports? Well, you'd have Rocket Power as a Nicktoon! Four kids (that's enough for a quad game) get Xtreme with zero consequence or even less thought about who they hurt and the damage they'd cause. In the end, it's friendship that really that repairs everything including a completely flooded foundation to a house. (right?) Will Dave finaly get that sponsorship from Dorito Cool Ranch Xtreme

01:06:37

Ep 135: The Wild Thornberrys

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/01/09

What happen when you put an entire family on a bus together, have them travel the globe, and record documentaries about animals. Well, you would get our second NickToon of 2017 - the Wild Thornberrys! Another Klasky Csupo production, this cartoon stars Eliza Thornberry, voice by Lacey Chabert, who came speak to animals! The rest of the fam consists of a grunge sister, a wacky father, a chill mom, a monkey, and an abducted aboriginal child named Donnie. Will Dave learn to speak with animals and

Ep 134: Oh Yeah! Cartoons

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2017/01/02

WE ARE BACK! It's January which means only one thing - NEW YEAR'S NICKTOONS! This is our third year doing New Year's NickToons and we're getting into some interesting territory. Kicking off 2017 is Oh Yeah! Cartoons which was a variety show that acted as a spring board for cartoons like the Fairly OddParents, Chalk Zone, and My Life as a Teenage Robot. All good things and was the begin of Frederator Studio that has launched so many other great cartoons (Bee and PuppyCat, Bravest Warriors, and

Ep 131: The Little Drummer Boy

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/12/12

Rankin Bass holiday specials have become a staple of December for us but what happens when the cartoon completely sucks? This week we watched The Little Drummer Boy with Melanie Harker and really dig deep on the idea of acceptance and gift giving. After having tragedy strike his family, Aaron, the little drummer boy, decides that he only wants to be friends with the animals and hates all human. But LDB has good reason as he's kidnapped immediately into the deserts worst traveling performance

Ep 130: Star Wars Holiday Special

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/12/05

Happy December to all of our toon fam listeners! We're gearing up for so many wonderful holidays this season like Life Day! That good ol' Wookiee holiday that celebrates life and the creation of a bad live action/animated Star Wars Holiday Special. We're getting into the animated portion of the Star Wars Holiday Special to relax because we're not going to discuss the merits of Lumpy the Wookie. ...or will we? Will Dave turn into Boba Fett? Will Sean fall into the Sarlacc Pit? Is the planet

Ep 129: Emergency +4

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/11/28

What happens when you give three kids a van, a bucket of paint, and a couple random animals? Well, of course they begin to follow around California EMS/Firefighters as a "jitney" emergency vehicle. It all makes sense, right? We're getting into the animated version of the live action 70's drama Emergency which is called Emergency +4 because there are, maybe, four children that following around Squad 51. This show makes zero sense to us, but what does make sense is that we have friend of the show

01:16:23

Ep 128: Cadillacs and Dinosaurs

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/11/21

Image, if you will, it's the future and instead of using established words, we collectively begin calling things by new and different names. Confusing, right? Welcome to 600 years in the future and oh, dinosaurs are also alive! We have some weird factions of people like "old blood mechanics," dinosaurs called "slithers," and the machinato vitae OR machine of life. It's a wild world full of betrayal, forrest ambushes, and cities on the sea. The world building on this show is insane! Will we

01:06:46

Ep 127: Sky Commanders

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/11/14

What happens when a new continent bursts forth from the sea and the landmasses that it creates are only stable for about 24 hours? You send in the military to assess the situation OR you send in a group of about nine randomly assigned commandos with jetpack backpacks and laser rope to navigate this strange new land? Hint: pick the latter because we've watched Sky Commanders this week on SMC. Just think Spiral Zone meets GI Joe meets Grappling hooks. If you can picture that in your head, then

01:22:54

Ep 126: Chuck Norris Karate Kommandos

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/11/07

What happens when you take Chuck Norris and put him in charge of a multi-ethnic squad of Commandos? For one thing, Chuck Norris doesn't play by your rules regarding spelling because Commandos is now spelled with a "K." You heard right! Chuck Norris has roundhouse kicked the alphabet and he's now set his sights on the evil organization VULTURE, led by the nefarious, yet educated, Dr. Claw. You also get to hear the name of our hero, Chuck Norris, said dozens of time throughout the intro and

Ep 125: It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/10/31

Hey Blockhead! Yeah, you. Did you get the invite that said you're not invited to this week's episode? That's weird because I made two lists AND then I sent out both lists like the fucking MADMAN! Good grief and Happy Halloween as we sit in a pumpkin patch overnight into order to A) get hypothermia or B) see the Great Pumpkin, or C) all of the above?! This week we get into It's a Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown for the show's 50th anniversary. Will Sean every have enough earnest behavior to
