Lunar Sea Spire

GC13 and David break their silence to discuss  Radio Silence from Summer Camp Island. Oscar has it tough when he’s chasing his rainbow, but it turns out that the treasure he was looking for was friendship the entire time. And a unicorn. Plus, we are inspired by visions of a Steven Universe episode that never was. Thankfully no one on the podcast does any goofy voices. That might be too much....

GC13 and David discuss  Tutorial Mode from Glitch Techs. Yep, Glitch Techs really did manage to work its wrestling episode in as its second episode. Yes, the main antagonist of the episode looks suspiciously like Hulk Hogan, brother! Glitch Techs is an amazing series, so if your interest was piqued by  Age of Hinobi then you owe it to yourself to continue on to  Tutorial Mode ! This episode of the...

GC13 and David discuss  Trading Day from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Yep, who had body switch episode? You win. Well, you win, but the characters never actually switch bodies, do they? (Humorous endings aside.) What they do prove is that they are absolutely awful at being each other (though in Mao Mao’s defense he probably would have been fine if he weren’t also a jerk). This episod...

GC13 and David discuss  Cosmic Bupkiss from Summer Camp Island. Oscar and Hedgehog are eleven, so when they say they’ve been waiting their whole lives to see the Bupkiss comet, they pretty much mean it. This is the kind of episode  we were waiting for though. Do you want to understand the batch of episodes that follows? Then  Cosmic Bupkiss sets you up well to understand them. This episode o...

GC13 and David discuss  Age of Hinobi , the first episode of Glitch Techs. It’s an episode with a lot to do, so it makes sense that it’s double-length. We meet Five (who you  might hear called “Hector” a lot during this discussion) and Miko, we meet the Glitch Techs, and we meet… Mitch. Even with all of the extra time it’s still a lot to take in, but Glitch Tech...

GC13 and David discuss  The Truth Stinks from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Yes, Badgerclops stinks. No, we’re not jealous of his crystals. You and we all know he just hates taking showers. If it ever turns out that the Ruby Pure Heart is responsible for the shifting roles of Mao Mao and Badgerclops, who seem to routinely hand off the title of “the sane one” to one another, we&#...

GC13 and David discuss the mid-season pre-finale of Summer Camp Island:  Fuzzy Pink Time Babies . The introduction of Ramona. What more could you ask for? A free trip to business camp? Sure, if retirement is what you dream about. Meanwhile, Oscar and Hedgehog invent their magnum opus in frozen time. Who said time freezing had to get weird? This episode of the podcast is also available on YouTube .

GC13 and David discuss the final form of Craig of the Creek:  Pencil Break Mania . Yes, it’s a wrestling episode. No, we don’t know how Matt and Ben were able to wait so long to put one into the show, we’re just glad it finally came. Will we ever see the WCPBF title defended by JP again? Are you looking forward to  J.P. Philanthropist airing in three years? This episode of the po...

GC13 discusses  Weapon of Choice from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Mao Mao is a show full of morals. While there might be some deeper moral in the episode, I think the most important thing Weapon of Choice has to say is this: any time the Sky Pirates are kicking your butt, re-evaluate what you’re doing. At least Boss Hosstrich was finally able to put his Finger Lickin’ Butt Kickin&#8...

GC13 and David discuss  Mr. Softball from Summer Camp Island. Is Mr. Softball Oscar’s Heisenberg? Just throwing that one out there. It’s unlikely that Summer Camp Island would be making a reference to Breaking Bad, but since we don’t know the deep lore of the Killer Whale yet, we have to make do with what we have. What we do know is that the kind of softball that Mr. Softball pla...

GC13 and Isabelle return to Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure a little earlier than anticipated to discuss  Youth With Dio . Melodrama aside, there’s some significant action to this episode. And significant Speedwagon. (Yes, he was a good addition.) Jojo, you’ve got a good heart. Even if you don’t have much else now. This episode of the podcast is also available on YouTube .

GC13 and Isabelle continue their quest into Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, covering  A Letter From the Past . The seven-year time skip has made Jojo and Dio look a bit more normal, but wow has Jojo become really strong. And such a nice boy! He’s exactly the son any father would want to have. And, while Speedwagon might call him naive, he’s only naive in certain situations. Take that,...

GC13 and David discuss  Meet Tanya Keys from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Disappointingly, this is the only time we get to meet Tanya Keys. We’re sure glad we did though: she’s a very amusing character in her own right, and has such an interesting past with Mao Mao. She’s also a shapeshifter, so you never know when it will turn out that she was really with us the whole time&#82...

GC13 and David look at  Hedgehog Werewolf , the episode of Summer Camp Island where, spoiler alert, Hedgehog becomes a werewolf. Well, that’s two Cartoon Network shows of this generation where a main character (or characters!) becomes a werewolf. Enjoy your curse, Hedgehog! Except, maybe it’s not a curse? It could be a metaphor. But for what…? Well, we’re not telling, anywa...

GC13 and Isabelle open up the anime can with the first episode of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure:  Dio the Invader . Well, Dio is not a likable boy, is he? If he wasn’t good at everything he did, he’d probably have a hard time in life. We’ll certainly be back to Jojo in the future. The floodgates have been opened, and there’s no holding back the tide now. This episode of th...

GC13 and David discuss  The Ground is Lava from Craig of the Creek. No, these creek games aren’t getting any safer. Well this is a rarity, isn’t it? An episode that zooms out to show that the kids’ fantasy play is just that: fantasy play. Hopefully they don’t make a habit of it. J.P. gave The Ground is Lava a thumbs up, but we’re really hoping to see a Galactic Kids N...

GC13 and David discuss  Small from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Hearts. Don’t let the title confuse you: Small is Shin Mao’s big debut. Shin may not be that impressed by the kingdom or its king, but, well… His son comes out of the episode looking pretty impressive. While we do get a lovely tour of the kingdom, it’s the monster fight that shines brightly in this episode (at least...

GC13 and David discuss Summer Camp Island’s mystery episode:  Pepper’s Blanket Is Missing . Sailors get shore leave, so obviously thieves get sailor leave. Who put that rule into the new camp guide? Oscar was probably there—he’s everywhere. If Lucy were there in boss mode, we’d probably have a very different policy. Do you need nice attention? Make sure your friends know. A...

GC13 and David discuss the first episode of Adventure Time: Distant Lands,  BMO . Well, surprises mount upon surprises when watching  BMO . When going to distant lands, you don’t expect to see many familiar faces—or familiar feet, in this case. Still, it’s great to have a continuation of Adventure Time, and BMO managed to be an entertaining lead in the debut episode. This episode of th...

GC13 and David discuss  Children of the Dog from Craig of the Creek. We hope it’s not spoiling too much to mention that it’s the return of Brigid (it  does have “dog” in the title…). Not to take anything away from how funny Craig of the Creek usually is, but  Children of the Dog is especially hilarious. Oh the gags, and the rapid pacing keeping them flowing so, so wel...

GC13 and David discuss  He’s the Sheriff from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. What kind of king is King Snugglemagne? Obviously a bad one, but is he one doomed to failure, or does he have a chance to redeem himself? Obviously not as a sheriff (that job is terrible), but perhaps in some other way. Then there’s also the question of who could replace him as king? Obviously King Pinkie woul...

GC13 and David carry on with Summer Camp Island, discussing  Monster Visit from the first half of the first season. It’s not hard to discern what  Monster Visit is about: the discomfort caused when you try to be something you aren’t for the sake of pleasing others. Much more difficult to figure out is where the Godmonster gets her skulls from. All of Summer Camp Island, including the s...

GC13, Sophia, Ken, and David settle a very special versus debate for a very special three hundredth podcast episode. So despite being sweethearts, of course all three are perfectly willing to fight to win. The big question is who will be our winner? Aang, the Avatar, Adora, the She-Ra, or Steven, the bearer of the pink Diamond? Listen on and celebrate with us. These three heroes are truly mighty,...

GC13 and David discuss  Mortimer to the Rescue from Craig of the Creek, the highest-rated weekly episode premier Cartoon Network had in May. And what a thrilling episode it was! Mortimer finally got his time to shine, showing animal intelligence right up there with Appa from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Of course, some scouts showed less intelligence… Wildernessa, druid (or was it ranger?) of...

GC13 and David discuss  All By Mao Self from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Well, nobody said Mao Mao was the brightest upcoming legendary hero, did they? He’s fast, he’s incredible with a sword, but his powers of self-delusion are worthy of being commemorated in song. Until Lady Legasus shows up to challenge, Mao Mao will hold on to the title for buffest legs in a cartoon. Ultimate Ri...
