GC13 and David discuss  Moon Problems from Summer Camp Island. Oh what a mess a lost friendship bracelet can cause. Would you have gone looking for it, or would you have partied with the ice cream sandwiches? Whatever you choose, hopefully Susie ends up getting her new hair style (pancake, you will be remembered). Showbiz friends may not be real friends, but we make it sound good. This episode of...

GC13 and David discuss one of the recent Craig of the Creek episodes:  Crisis at Elder Rock . The Elders are kids in crisis. As is JP. And Craig’s math skills (he and Alice from Summer Camp Island should hang out some time…). A moment of silence, if you will, for Mark’s lost shovel. And Mark’s lost job. Remember kids, fallen boulders are no laughing matter. If you or someon...

GC13 and David discuss the trailer for the first episode of Adventure Time: Distant Lands, BMO . It looks like this episode will give you what you want out of a BMO episode: our cute robotic protagonist looks to be doing his very best to hero his way through a tough situation. Whether the bunny boy and the shapeshifting alien will turn out to be echoes of Finn and Jake remains to be seen. We don&#...

GC13 and David discuss the big trailer for the fifth and final season of She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. The trailer footage was… Well-selected. There’s a lot to speculate on, but we’re very short on conclusive answers (though GC13 will of course point out that the trailer makes it look like  *SPOILERS REDACTED* , as expected in our upcoming discussion of season four). Are yo...

GC13 and David discuss  Thumb War from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. While the Maomalore is surely deep, we don’t know where Big Thumb Pete came from or where he went. Also that breadsticks are apparently expensive enough to be worth bribing everyone for. While Badgerclops is a master of Doorbell Danglers, his thumbs are as yet untested in a true war. Hopefully this doesn’t come back...

GC13 and David discuss  It’s My Party from Summer Camp Island. This is it. This is the episode that really starts Susie’s shift from pure antagonist to a character you’re rooting for. (Even if she really was charming the entire time.) Susie may be able to walk around understanding two contradictory sets of facts, but Pepper’s savage speech was apparently a fact too far. Tha...

GC13 and David discuss  Popularity Conquest from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. Ah, back to Mao Mao, and right back to another episode about Mao Mao’s insecurities. Miserable as he is on the inside, he at least  looks happy when he’s living in the Now Now. (It’s kind of distressing how eager the sweety pies are to turn to petty crime though.) Feed us little lies, as sweet as cake...

GC13 and David consider Cartoon Network’s future now that Steven Universe is gone. It’s up to four shows to carry the network: Craig of the Creek, Infinity Train, Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart, and Summer Camp Island. Three are definitely getting new episodes, and Infinity Train should as well. Of course there’s also Cartoon Network’s streaming future to consider. How will...

GC13, Ken, Isabelle, Sophia, and David discuss the final four episodes of Steven Universe: Future:  Homeworld Bound ,  Everything’s Fine ,  I Am My Monster , and  The Future . You saw the episodes. What should we say here? How about a request? What ways do you think that Jasper will carry on her campaign of petty evil through Beach City? This was the grand sendoff to the series, and it ended...

GC13, Ken, Isabelle, Sophia, and David break down  Mr. Universe and  Fragments. Oh boy those were sure two episodes, weren’t they? Do you remember back when Steven was happy? We do. So did Steven have a bad childhood? Does he know how to pick his mentors or what? These episodes should have you ready for the finale, because regardless of what’s coming there’s a lot to take care of...

Ken returns for the end of the Universe, and he, GC13, Isabelle, and David discuss the two latest episodes of Steven Universe: Future:  Together Forever and  Growing Pains . Well, if  In Dreams and  Bismuth Casual were the hope spots, there was definitely more heartache put into these two episodes. Steven is clearly feeling isolated and is making bad decisions, even when he seeks the counsel of th...

GC13, Isabelle, Sophia, and David discuss the beginning of the end of Steven Universe: Future:  In Dreams and  Bismuth Casual . This is it: the happiest Steven is likely to be before the finale. Savor it. Savor the Camp Pining Hearts reboot, the skating rink, and Cam’s Camshafts. Dreams continue to be weird in Steven Universe, even in the future. What symbolism do  you think was intended by...

GC13 and David discuss the first four episodes of the second half of Steven Universe: Future. Yes, recording happened too soon to get the two episode titles that came after, but there was plenty of juicy speculation to be had. It looks like Steven will in fact be dreaming in his first episode back, and Connie will finally make an appearance. What we can also say is that no matter what, some seriou...

GC13, Isabelle, and David discuss the trailer for Steven Universe: Future’s second half. Oh, Steven Universe: Future is ending. Now we all feel as sad as Steven. Well… Maybe not  that sad. Did you see that trailer? Steven doesn’t look like he’s doing so well. With only ten episodes to go, how will they wrap everything up while also finding the time to make Steven even more...

GC13 and David discuss Summer Camp Island’s  Computer Vampire . When the vampire is not defeated, Fruit Farmer (a game that’s cursed as all get-out) takes over the island until Oscar can finish what he started. Thankfully, he shows more care for his friends (well, Hedgehog) than he shows respect for computer hardware and for books. This episode is for babies—and we love it! This episod...

GC13 and David discuss  Bao Bao’s Revenge from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. What’s your favorite line from the episode? There are, as always, some outstanding quotes to choose from. More importantly, do you think Bao Bao is the reason Mao Mao became the hardcore adventurer he is today? Mao Mao doesn’t always exaggerate, he only exaggerates when his feelings are hurt. (And Bao B...

GC13 and David discuss the ninth episode of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart:  Outfoxed . Driven by his desire to prove to Adorabat that not all nice people can be trusted, Sheriff Mao Mao works to expose the “special men” who take advantage of the monster buffet called the “sweetiepies”. Just know this: we cherish all of you. This episode of the podcast is also available on Y...

GC13 and David discuss the first episode of Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart:  I Love You Mao Mao . Buckle up, we’re about to get into no-margin comedy with villains who have very serious decor. The first episode starts like the series means to begin: very funny, with a great dynamic between the three main characters. If you haven’t been watching Mao Mao, why haven’t you? This episo...

GC13 and David discuss the fourth episode of Summer Camp Island,  Saxophone Come Home . While Summer Camp Island is a very kind show, this episode does feature some bullying of Oscar (though his cool new friend Saxophone is able to help him deal with the problem in style). Also Susie may or may not actually need to wear her contacts, but that whole thing with the hockey puck sure seems familiar&#8...

GC13 and David discuss Infinity Train’s second season: Cracked Reflection. If you wanted more lore about the train, you got it. Plus, with the season following Tulip’s former reflection, we also learned a little bit more about the mirror world. In both cases we ended up with so many more questions than we had before. This episode is also available on YouTube .

GC13 and David discuss what new cartoons are coming out in 2020, and some of the old ones that will be airing new episodes. Of course it’s really best to have seen a cartoon before you decide whether you’re excited about it or not, but it can’t hurt to take a peek ahead and see what’s coming, can it? This video is also available on YouTube .

GC13 and David discuss the last two episodes of Steven Universe: Future’s opening salvo:  Little Graduation and  Prickly Pair . Oh boy, we were worried about our beautiful baby boy’s future and now here it is. Please, we’re begging: get Steven some therapy! At the very least get him to use his Emotional Support Amethyst. Where will the series go from here? How will it end? When w...

GC13, Isabelle, and Sophia enter the game to discuss the two latest episodes of Steven Universe: Future: Snow Day and Why So Blue? . They’re two very cute episodes, for different reasons. Our little boy’s all grown up, and he’s even been a vegetarian for like a month! Also, shows of strength are paradoxically signs of weakness. Maybe we should stick to subjective and debatable st...

GC13, Isabelle, and David discuss  Bluebird and  A Very Special Episode . These episode had something for everyone. Mortal enemies, townies, Mary Poppins reborn. Perhaps if you hate fun you might find an episode not to like. (Even then, you’d have to be trying pretty hard.) Anyway, smash the fourth wall, never eat grass without peanut butter, and don’t forget that the little blackbird...

GC13, Isabelle, Sophia, and David discuss the first four episodes of Steven Universe: Future:  Little Homeschool ,  Guidance ,  Rose Buds , and  Volleyball . And, for the first time, on the podcast’s new day: Tuesday! There is so, so much contained in the first four episodes it’s impossible to get to it all. Oh how we wish we could hear the screams of delight of all the Steven Universe...
