We’ve got something a little different this week—we’re taking our Patreon-based Sunday Afternoon Chats and bringing that energy to the main feed, utilizing their loosiness and goosiness to riff about 4 more LoGH episodes we swallowed whole like a snake.

Bet you got complacent after those elegant, refined cartoons from our Masterpiece Theatre arc and almost forgot what we always return to—pure nasty filth garbage from sewers.

Much like this week’s episode of LotGH, our finale of Anime Masterpiece Theatre resolves without a happy ending—but never fear!

We hope you’ve laundered your smoking jacket since last week, because we’re back for more Anime Masterpiece Theatre, which is currently about a bunch of dudes dying.

Cue the fancy PBS music, cause it's time for Masterpiece Theatre! We're watching two seminal works from Japan's Shōwa period which deftly prodded the fleshy pressure points of culture and exploded it from the inside out.

WE LIED. THERE’S MORE. Our TurtleBats culmination had to be this, a direct-to-video crossover of cross-corporate cooperation with perhaps our MOST DIVIDED OPINIONS YET.

Our turtle and bat-based travels reach the end of the road, as we finally catch up to the modern era of our respective reboots. And it turns out they absolutely rip! New stuff can be good!

We’ve now seen so many reboots of TMNT and Batman that reality is folding in on itself, entire dimensions stretching and tearing like mozzarella cheese on a hot slice of ‘za.

TurtleBats is TurtleBack, but with yet another slight diversion from the mainline reboots we had planned.

NEW ARC TIME! We’re kicking off a deep dive of two famous franchises, Batman and TMNT, that hit it big in the 80s and 90s, then proceeded to launch new reboots every few years for the rest of time.

There was a time in our past when the future looked bright. So bright that every TV exec decided to reboot 100-year-old media properties in the distant future of the 21st century. They’re bad, but they did fix a huge issue with the originals: not enough goddamn lasers.

We just spent a lot of time with sexy mutants, so for due diligence we enlisted Nathan Cox to help us look at the grimier, toxic-wasteier mutants who don’t get to go to private school—just don’t expect these to be any of the ones you’re thinking of.

A soul still burns for trash. We’ve pulled lovely assistant Amalia Larson out of a hat for an extremely specific category of cartoon: mid-90’s stage magic stars using real sorcery to fight skeletons or whatever. There’s also maybe a Wolfgang Puck anime? Today’s Episode Sponsor: Deli-Style Candles Cut Up Like Meat™ THIS WEEK'S EPISODES: Siegfried & Roy: Masters of the Impossible Episode 1, “In...
