That's Not Quite All Folks: A Looney Tunes Podcast

Join us riiiight after July 4th and celebrate America's 250th, where we cover Bugs Bunny: American Patriot! Elmer Fudd tries to find gold for the war effort with a Clampett Bugs out to annoy him in 'The Wacky Wabbit. ' Bugs teaches American history to Clyde Bunny (who?) in the painfully unfunny 'Yankee Doodle Bugs,' And we conclude with Bugs going to WAR...in the 1950's (ho...

Marc and Jordan take a look at three shorts featuring flagship Looney Tunes characters being handed a love interest. Two of these have the same essential concept, with 1962's Honey's Money being a soft remake of Friz Freleng's own His Bitter Half from 1950, replacing Daffy Duck with Yosemite Sam. Then there is Rabbit Romeo, genuinely one of the strangest Bugs Bunny shorts we've eve...

Join us as we take a look at a former touchstone of Looney animation that stayed in the late 30's/early 40's with books that come to life! It's Frank Tashlin's world for two of these with 'You're An Education' and 'Have You Got Any Castles?' and we look at a Clampett effort with the precursor of Book Revue with 'A Coy Decoy.'

Join us as we continue our commentary series on the Direct to video Scooby films with one of Marc's personal favorites, with 2000's Scooby-Doo and The Alien Invaders!

In an episode recorded in person, in the same room [for the first time ever], Marc and Jordan talk about 2024's The Day the Earth Blew Up, a movie whose development and production were on display as the podcast progressed in the early 2020s, and whose release, and near lack thereof, was a heated topic as we gained more of an online presence. The film itself carries so much of the Looney energy...

Join us as we prepare for our next movie episode by covering the later era of Daffy and Porky lead shorts...all directed by Robert McKimson! Marc covers Daffy being the big prize for a faulty radio show in 'The Prize Pest' Jordan watches as Daffy thumbs it on the highway for a ride to Miami in 'Thumb Fun' And we end with a mid 50's, post studio shutdown McKimson effort with &#3...

In preparation for an upcoming movie episode, Marc and Jordan look at three classic pairings of Porky and Daffy that illustrate why someone contemporarily would want to explore the dynamic further. This includes Bob Clampett's Porky and Daffy, an animation showcase with a lot of flair, 1948's Daffy Duck Slept Here, which is a variation on the similarly-beloved A Pest in the House, and 1946...

In this episode, Marc and Jordan dive into three more Looney Tunes cartoons directed by the great Frank Tashlin, beloved for imbuing all his cartoons with wild zaniness, fluid animation, and timing like few could rival. This week's shorts include Cracked Ice, an animal revue with some surprising return appearances, Puss 'n Booty, a peculiar precursor to Sylvester and Tweety, and Brother Br...

Join us as we continue our commentaries on the Scooby films of the late 90's/00's with the second film in the 'Scooby Doo but serious' era with Scooby Doo and The Witch's Ghost! There's Hex Girls! A undercooked plot! and TIM CURRY! Links: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow us on Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠...

Join us as we advertise the next Blu-Ray to come out from the Warner Archive with shorts that are on Looney Tunes Collector's Vault Vol. 2! Marc covers a Daffy Duck cartoon with the most bizarre stunt casting with 'Ain't That Ducky' Jordan reviews a Henry Hawk starring (but really Foghorn/Sylvester) outing with 'Crowing Pains' And we take a look at Arthur Davis' first directorial effort, with the...

Join us as we take a look at three instances where the works of Robert McKimson seem eerily similar to cartoons we've covered on this show! Marc sees Bugs Bunny dealing with Yosemite Sam (I mean, Blackque Jacuque Shalack, but his friends call him BJ) in 'Bonanza Bunny' Jordan sees Daffy Duck take a turn at Superman (for the folks at home, this is Superman attempt number 2 of 4 for the...

Jordan and Marc dive, lovingly, into some more gems from the short-lived but mighty Arthur Davis unit, including a standard gag rollout tinged with intriguing ideas in Bone Sweet Bone, a Porky short that divided both hosts in The Pest Who Came to Dinner, and an undeniable classic in Holiday for Drumsticks. In talks of fluid animation, wild motion and surprising continuity, we wind up crafting some...

Join us as we take a look at some more Looney fairy tale shorts, two of which focused on Tom Thumb! Marc sees an early Chuck Jones effort with a design that seems awfully familar in 'Tom Thumb in Trouble' Jordan covers a contemporary take on the piped piper with Porky Pig in 'Paying the Piper' And we finish with a later era Chuck Jones/John Dunn outing with the half-hearted story of 'I Was A Teena...

An innocuous enough theme, cartoons with dogs and cats as the subject, brought Jordan and Marc to this episode. The majority of this episode contains the sort of Looney Tunes fare one would expect from the 50s, like a wild Sylvester in peril short called A Kiddie's Kitty, and an underrated McKimson short animated by just one guy, 'Pappy's Puppy'. But the third short, McKimson's 'Mixed Master' resu...

We kick off Season 6 of TNQAF by looking at the remaining shorts (and revival) of Chuck Jones' Three Bears Cartoons! We cover their first outing after meeting Bugs Bunny with Papa just trying to sleep through hibernation with 'What’s Brewin, Bruin' Jordan covers Papa and Junior trying to take care of their supply of Honey in 'The Bee-Deviled Bruin' And we jump in time 74 years...

For our 250th episode, and our most recent Looney movie episode, which has now grown to include movies made by Warner's 90s animation division, Marc and Jordan cover a classic film that may have killed the Warner animation division but influenced a generation of animators. The Iron Giant was born out of two different stories of love amidst pain, nearly became a movie musical adaptation, and wa...

Join us as we lead up to our movie episode on robots by looking at shorts that have robots in them! Jordan looks at a later era Tweety effort in which Sylvester relies on a robot dog (for 20 seconds) in 'Tweet and Lovely' Marc covers Bugs Bunny dealing with a robot...that doesn't look anything like a rabbit in 'Robot Rabbit' And we conclude with a real clunker of a short with W...

For our fourth episode consisting entirely of Looney Tunes commercials, Marc and Jordan cover a nice mix of misguided 90s ideas, puzzling 60s ideas and pop art greatness. Yes, there will be Tang, but there will also be PSAs, chicken, jams and jellies, crack and much much more. This one got extremely out of hand, and just in time for Christmas.

Join us as we take a look at a beloved Scooby-Doo film from our youth with a soundtrack that has stayed with an entire generation with 'Scooby-Doo On Zombie Island' !

Join us as we take a look at three more Looney Tunes shorts that have not aged well! Marc covers the Academy Award Nominated (but lost...much to the chagrin of Bob Clampett) with 'Hiawatha's Rabbit Hunt' Jordan finds the other Playboy Penguin/Bugs Bunny team-up with a not aged well nemesis with 'Frigid Hare' And we both look at....just....a perfect amalgamation of everthing we don't like about Rob...

Marc and Jordan look at three shorts where characters that arguably should have been in one-shot cartoons are given a second, or fourth, chance. These include 'Greetings, Bait', starring The Wacky Worm, 'Cheese-It, The Cat', starring The Honeymousers, and 'Often An Orphan', starring the much-maligned Charlie Dog. Some of these work, and could have been longer running characters. Some show signs of...

Join us as we cover more Hubie and Bertie! Marc looks at an early attempt of the characters (VERY loosely) in 'Trap Happy Porky' Jordan finds Hubie and Bertie in the HOUSE OF THE FUTURE (Hey didn't we just cover one of those? thankfully this isn't a McKimson episode!) in 'House-Hunting Mice' and we conclude with....a little more on the dark side of the Hubie and Bertie stor...

It had been a while since Marc and Jordan had covered shorts featuring Mac & Tosh, the Goofy Gophers, and it's mostly because their overly-nice schtick can get old after a while. But there were still a handful for us to cover, including the classic 'A Ham in a Role', featuring an opening minute that animation historians love to showcase [without really going into detail about the r...

Join us as we reach the conclusion (as of now) of the Hanna-Barbera film adaptations with 2021's Tom and Jerry! There's Cel shading, Colin Jost, and how is it that THIS nails Tom and Jerry more than the '90s film? (Well, okay, it's not THAT hard, but still!)

Join us as we take a look at even more Foghorn Leghorn cartoons, because doing one Robert McKimson episode wasn't enough! Marc sees the first appearance of the Weasel in the Foghorn cast with 'Plop Goes the Weasel', Jordan watches a short that seems a little too similar to a certain rabbit with 'The Dixie Fryer', And we round out with Henry Hawk trying to get a chicken with &#3...
