Episode 57: The 1 Year Anniversary Spectacular!

Celebrating One Year!

Celebrating One Year!

Yes, it’s our one year anniversary. Hard to believe we’ve been doing this nonsense for an entire year now. Joining us this week is Aisaku along with Ronnie Harris. We go over some of our best shows and talk about funny moments as well as episodes that didn’t survive.

Come along for two hours of fun. We laugh. We cry. We insult Marvel animation. It’s great.

Episode 56: Batman – Under The Red Hood

We’re back again with our Tooncast beyond crossover spectacular. Returning this week are Mike “TFG1” Blanchard and Steve “Megatron”. This week, we talk about a movie that is far superior than the comic from which it was adapted. Under The Red Hood is an exciting take on the return of Jason Todd, also known as the second Robin.

We give away a few spoilers, but it’s nothing you don’t get from the first ten minutes of the film, anyway.

Overall, we liked this.

Also, for our bonus section, we conclude our first attempt at the video games episode. By the end, it becomes obvious why we recorded a second take. Still, we felt that the conversation was entertaining enough to release as supplemental material. Now as to what we’re going to put on the end of next week’s Tooncast Beyond episode, I have no idea. We’ll think of something.

Cooked Robin anyone?

Guess who!

Guess who!

Episode 55: A Crisis On Two Earths

Just bring it.

Get away from her, you bitch!


Tonight, we continue with our crisis of two podcasts! Tooncast Beyond and Animation Aficionados sit down together and talk about perhaps the best DC movie yet, A Crisis On Two Earths. Featured on this episode are TFG1 Mike and Steve “Megatron”.

In a story originally meant for the DCAU, the Justice League meet their match. Literally! A heroic version of Lex Luthor leads them to a world in which the super powers, dubbed the Crime Syndicate, are evil. What follows is an exciting, non-stop rollercoaster of an action movie. We highly approve of this one, and we think you will, too.

Minor spoilers in this episode. The bad guys lose. Bet you didn’t see that coming.

Show Topics:
Martian Manhunter’s costume sucks
A crisis of infinite turtles
Mind sex
Super Woman’s costume is awesome

Bonus Show Topics:
Rankin Bass cartoons
Rerun killed Peanuts
There’s no business like snow business

The Crime Syndicate

I'll take number 3.

Episode 54: Christmas Cartoons

The Grinch

Karloff. Not Carrey.

We are once again joined by Kittyhawk and Tom Revor to talk about Christmas cartoons! What else? We bring up as many Christmas cartoons as we could think of. Some revered. Some reviled. Some barely even remembered. And of course, we talk about the king of the holiday special: RANKIN BASS.

So stoke up the fire, roast some chestnuts, and put some marshmallows in your hot cocoa. It’s time to talk about some animated holiday classics! BOW DOWN! BOWN DOWN! BEFORE THE POWER OF SANTA!!

Trouble in the balcony!

Trouble in the balcony!

Hi-ho! It’s Christmas time, and we’re doing something special. We’re doing The Muppets! What do Muppets have to do with animation? Well, they’re puppets… and that’s kind of a form of animation. …sorta.

Anyhoo, we’re joined this week by Stephanie O’Donnell and Don McLeod. For nearly two hours, we run through the entire history of the Muppets from Sam & Friends to Muppets In Space. We dig up some obscure Muppets you may not have even heard of. We talk about the Muppeteers, too.

This episode is dedicated to Jim Henson and Richard Hunt, two geniuses who left us too soon.

Show Topics:
Sesame Street presents The Seven Deadly Sins
Why did Gonzo cross the road?
Is Oscar homeless?
Scary Muppets
Stephanie is a stan
Tiny Fuppets and Meet The Feebles
