Saturday Morning Tuesdays

We’ve made some bad decisions in the past, but they pale in comparison to our choice to watch Ulysses 31 and Spartakus & the Sun Beneath the Sea as an ongoing arc. How much joke potential lies in Greek myth cartoons? Well, accept this free big wood horse as a gift and find out! This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: We’ve hit a new basement on watchable content and we don’t have an escape pla...

Sometimes a show comes along that unites us in our desire to utterly and completely destroy it, and this time it’s 1987’s Visionaries: Knights of the Magical Light. Join Merklynn the Centrist Wizard as he foists powers upon the ruling class in return for vague favors. Chaos, naturally, ensues. This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: Dirty nuts, clean nuts, you know I’ve had my share • No sooner is...

Only two shows stand between us and our goal of becoming PokéClone masters: Monster Rancher and Yu-Gi-Oh!

This week we’re exploring the first wave of PokéClones with Bakugan, Dinosaur King, Fighting Foodons, and Beyblade. Four shows with varying quality of catchable monsters, yet strangely consistent on slammable dads and the soft foods they crave. This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: Rad Danny Japan and the Marbles of Destiny • Anyway, here’s Wonderwall • Spike Taylor blows in twice a year to knoc...

It’s our Season 4 Premiere! We’ve started a new arc about the most capitalist cartoons known to man, and so we think it’s fitting to also shamelessly promote our new Patreon. Fact: Pikachu is a patron of ours, and he LOVES our bonus content This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: Gary and his cheerleader squad begin a boy’s journey of deep emasculation • Ash’s Mom and Professor Oak are definitely...

As our third season draws to a close, and Father Winter slinks down your domestic smokehole to deliver his damp secrets, we thought it’d be fun to watch an honest-to-goodness movie on the pod: the all-new, all-Netflix Santa origin tale, Klaus! This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: This is a Joan Cusack podcast and Andys don’t get a vote • Santa finally chops the Chekhov’s Wood by the end of the...

After doing this podcast for two years we have a sort of stockholm syndrome for bad content, so it’s nice to have someone like Todd “The Chicken Maze” Durboraw remind us how bad these shows can be. Enjoy our bittersweet C&D&G finale, expertly mourned by the wail of hewnstone mancrusts. This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays:Running Qua Hoon count: 13 • Hannah keeps trying to kiss nature, e...

Hop in our sidecar, little buddies! We’re off to explore our favorite three things that are two types of monsters and a car.

This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: Cowboys are ancient warlocks • Running Quahoon Count: 6 • Apparently cartoons in the 90s could just say whatever • Wait until Bezos mounts a cas...

Disney Plus is out, and in order to keep the Mouse King from haunting our doorstep, we must kneel before Cold Walter’s throne of content. Amalia “That’s Going In My Leaf Box” Larson joins us to discuss Gargoyles (now streaming in Mickey’s hou$e), and Cadillacs and Dinosaurs (too spicy for Mickeys). This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: Special Guest Amalia Larson perfectly recreates our theme so...

This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: The safeguards remain in place for further Sinbad-based threats • A lightbulb expert make...

All good things must come to an end, which we guess means our time with Over the Garden Wall was a good thing because it’s come to an end. So gather up your sickles and roasted barley and let’s get pumpkin drunk on gourd wine. This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: Wirt cooks up a stinky mixtape • Jason Funderburker is the complete package • Soylent Green Seinfeld is back with new revelations • P...

Our Over the Garden Wall watch is nearing the end of its run, but not before we bust out our finely tuned English 101 skills and really just go to town.

When the pumpkins come out to play and the breeze is as crisp as the leaves, there’s only one thing we could think to watch: Over the Garden Wall.

This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: Don’t name the Japanese boy “Karate” • Eastern Europe has too many r...

We don’t like to throw around the term “unwatchable” all that often, but after seeing 1987’s Spiral Zone, we cancelled any and all other chances to watch it. How can a show starring Dirk Courage and the ass-whippingest theme song in existence suck so much? Welcome to the Zone, Mr. President. This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays: Zone • zone • zone • zone • zone THIS WEEK'S EPISODES Spiral Zone -...
