Following up on last week's revisit of the 90s animated series, #IronMan, we're doubling down on Marvel animation with the paired 90s series #FantasticFour.

We're getting a jump on the Disney+ arrivals with a revisit of the 90s animated series, 'Marvel's Iron Man.' Arriving nearly 15 years before the live-action movie that launched the MCU into the stratosphere, this cartoon is a stark (pun!) reminder that superhero stories are tough to do right ... and absolutely catastrophic when done wrong. - Support the Show through Patreon - Want to find our cohosts online?

Ep 249: 'Undone' Review

Saturday Mourning Cartoons ·

2019/09/28

'Undone' is a unique show from Amazon Prime. It's not unique because it uses rotoscoping, an older style of animation, for the visuals. Undone is unique because of the storytelling and mature content that is delivered through stunning performances from the cast. We do need to mention that there are some trigger warnings for this show including - suicide, loss of a parent, and mental illness. Join Sean and Dave as they delve into the Undone and some of it's ambiguous and thought provoking story.
