What A Cartoon! - The June Schedule!
Added 2018-06-05 00:05:38 +0000 UTCSummer is here, making it the perfect time to analyze animation! This month we've got a mix of Adult Swim favorites and off-kilter '90s classics dominating the schedule that began with today's Home Movies WAC and keeps going all month long! So if you want to watch ahead to be prepared for that week's subject, we've got the schedule below. And yes, you're in for a special treat because we will indeed be doing Family Guy! (I know, I'm scared too!)
In order, here are the next four subjects:
Freakazoid - "Next Time, Phone Ahead/Nerdator"
This was a pick from one of our premium Patreon supporters, though this was definitely on our to-do list anyway. This Kids WB cult hit wasn't appreciated in its time but we'll give this season one episode the love it deserves.
FLCL - The Entire First Season
With new FLCL episodes arriving for the first time in 17 years, we're in the mood to celebrate this wonderfully eclectic punk rock anime. We dig into its history, the music, the random violence and so much more, so sing out the future with us!
Family Guy - "Brian Wallows and Peter Swallows"
So it has come to this... To be honest we've been waiting to do a Family Guy episode since the series began and this feels like the time to pull off the band-aid with this season 3 episode featuring a bird in a beard. We promise this will be a fair and balanced podcast!
Rocko's Modern Life - "Wacky Deli"
After the original trio of Nicktoons, Rocko's Modern Life arrived and was beloved by Gen-X and soon-to-be-millennials alike for its portrayal of everyday problems. Though for our What A Cartoon! we'll get extra meta with Wacky Deli, the final episode that was all about how animation works!
-----------------------------------------
Not a bad way to start the summer with myself, Bob, myself, and our cool guests! Though Rocko and Freakazoid might take some digging to find *ahem* unofficial stream, both Family Guy and FLCL are available on Hulu currently and if you want a free 30-day trial that helps support the show, you could always sign up at tiny.cc/tshulu!
Comments
Been listening to Retronauts since the beginning so definitely a fan of Bob's (and of late, Henry's) work on there, but having lost my passion for the Simpsons a long time ago I could never quite work up any excitement for Talking Simpsons. That all changed when I heard about What a Cartoon!. Loved every episode so far, had to chip in. Looking forward to the summer schedule, not the least FLCL.
