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

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/10/24

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'

Ep 123: Mickey Mouse 'Lonesome Ghosts'

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/10/17

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,

Ep 122: Inhumanoids

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/10/10

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

Ep 121: Rick Moranis in Gravedale High

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/10/03

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

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

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/09/26

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

Ep 119: Ed, Edd, n Eddy

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/09/19

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

Ep 118: North Korean Propaganda cartoons

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/09/12

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

01:19:11

Ep 117: Mighty Mouse The New Adventures

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/09/05

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

Ep 116: Transformers: Combiner Wars

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/08/29

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

Ep 115: Transformers Robots in Disguise

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/08/23

Another Japanese Transformers series?! Guys! It's been three weeks of nothing but Japanese Transformers, so how are Dave and Sean still alive? This week's Robots in Disguise features friend of the show, Neil Kaplan as the voice of Optimus Prime. AND we're also joined by Charlie Visconage, DC artist and painter! Will Charlie understand that there's really NO disguise for these robots? Will Dave edit down all reviews that are over 500 characters? Will Sean find every possible moment in a show

01:15:30

Ep 114: Transformers Super-God Masterforce

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/08/15

What if I told you that a Japanese Transformer's cartoon aired out of order in Russia. As if Russia need another damn problem. Is there another problem, you ask? Well, not if you are confused by an Autobot and human mashup. That's right, a Transformer who is also a human, who is also probably some type of a vehicle. Sounds like a problem, right? We are back this week with more problems and more questions, like WTF is Transformer's Super-God Masterforce? Is someone a God? Are they Super

01:15:09

Ep 113: Transformers The Headmasters

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/08/08

How many Transformer's cartoons are there? The answer is A LOT. There are really a ton of Transformers cartoons and it's pretty incredible. And now for a second question! Have you ever had the following question - "is there a Japanese, non-canon, Transformers series?" Sean and Dave answer that with Transformers: The Headmaster on this week's episode. If last week's Transformers Generation 1 was devoid of battle then this week we have the complete opposite. The Headmaster is nothing but

01:12:50

Ep 112: Transformers

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/08/01

This week we are walking on hallowed ground with generation 1 of Transformers. Sean and Dave feel that you cannot get anymore 80's nostalgic than the OG of this franchise that has spanned over 3+ decades! The battle between Optimus and Megatron feels like a classic battle than has gone on forever. And it HAS gone on forever, mainly because every time you kill one of these characters you're forced to remember that they're robots and they can be repaired and rebuilt. So, does this classic battle

01:21:15

Ep 111: WildC.A.T.s

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/07/25

What happens when a shows theme song is a total earworm but the show itself is complete garbage? Sean and Dave invite Evan Valentine back to try to solve the riddle of WildC.A.T.s, which means Covert Action Team plural?! There is really only one team and NOTHING, we mean absolutely NOTHING, is covert about this band of misfits heroes. Will Dave ever decipher what the lyrics are in the theme song? Will Sean ever manage to get a characters name straight? Will Evan explain the intricacies of

01:14:51

Ep 110: Tales from the Cryptkeeper

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/07/18

Sean and Dave want to know if you have you ever had the following thought, "I'd love to adapt a Black Comedy anthology that used to be a 1950's comic book, that then HBO adapted into a live action show, but I want to remove all the sex, perversion, and gore, so kids can watch it!" Extremely relatable, huh? Well, that's exactly what the CBS Saturday morning cartoon block of programming did in the 90's with Tales from the Cryptkeeper. If you were ever a fan of the HBO series in the 90's then

Ep 109: Ace Ventura: Pet Detective

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/07/11

We here at Saturday Mourning Cartoons would like to apologize, to you the listener, if you have witnessed the animated horror called Ace Ventura: Pet Detective. "How bad is it, guys!?" "Well, ALLLLLLRIGHTY THEN, thank you for ASS-king," spoken through our collective butt. It was so bad that we had to invent a totally new way to classify how bad cartoons can get when you shove an intellectual property through the lens of the child's cartoon that is so desperate for you to remember that

01:27:40

Ep 108: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/07/04

Ninja. Ninja rap. GO GO GO! Sean and Dave are jumping down the sewers this week with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Maybe this cartoon defined your childhood whether it was through this cartoon, or the action figure, and/or the live action movies?! TMNT felt like an old friend that you hadn't seen in a while and then suddenly you bump into each other and you ask the question, "why are you adding such bad sound fx?" Ya know, relatable stuff that everyone goes through. Our good buddy, Dr

Ep 107: Beast King Go Lion!

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/06/27

We are closing out June by forming Voltron one final time and we're going out in style with Melanie Harker. It turns out that Ms. Harker has never properly been introduced to any incarnation of Voltron - EVER! We welcome her into the fold with the OG Voltron - Beast King Go Lion! This is the original material that Peter and John (come on guys!) purchased overseas which is all subtitled and has 100% more gore and slavery than the American version. Will the Voltron force ever align with the

Interview with Neil Kaplan

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2016/06/25

Special bonus episode?! Sean, Dave, and Max Nicholson get to speak with voice actor Neil Kaplan who recently voiced King Zarkon from 'Voltron Legendary Defender.' Cartoon royalty? Indeed. Now if I could only find that Bayard that I misplaced...
