We continue with our Animation Aficionados/Tooncast Beyond crossover with this very special episode about a very special movie. It’s Justice League: The New Frontier! This movie has all the characters we love in their classic incarnations. However, bucking the usual trend, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman all take a back seat here, because the real star of this movie is Barry Allen! No wait, it’s Hal Jordon. No, actually it’s Martian Manhunter.

Oh, I don’t even know anymore! Just watch the film. It’s pretty good.

As with last week, our version of the show has additional audio. In our extras, we discuss Thundercats, Bill Paxton Pinball, and Nintendo Wii. Plus, Ben tries to break Mike’s brain with the Animaniacs clown… and SUCCEEDS!

Can you guess which one? (Hint: It wasn’t Superman)

This is the extended cut of the show. You get more than ten minutes of extra audio! Our usual cold opening, plus a post-show!

This episode was about:
That skirt

Brokeback Luthor
Solid Snake with super powers
Puking up a bucket of blood
Superman: filthy, dirty murderer

Tooncast Crossover

Fuuuuuusion HAAAAAH!!!!

Heya, gangsy. Starting this week, this podcast will be crossing over with Tooncast Beyond of the Geekcast Radio Network. We’ll be doing a series of episodes about the DC animated movies. First up is Superman Doomsday. Look forward to that later in the week.

If you need a primer, then swing by this post and listen to Mike introduce the series. This co-production will take the place of our weekly shows for the next couple of months, although regular episodes may appear here and there, so keep your eyes peeled.

Also, I goofed on that last post. I was supposed to include a link to the Carl Macek interview done by the Anime News Network. It’s his last and, in my opinion, his best interview. He talks about his entire career, including his time at DiC, Spümcø, Harmony Gold, and Streamline Pictures. This interview will amaze you!

Kylie Minogue oiled up and dressed as Cammy! RRRRROOOWWWRRRR!!!

Thank you, Kylie! We love you! Thankfully, they never made Street Fighter The Animated Series - The Game.

JT from Saskatoon joins us again to talk about movies that got turned into cartoons. Sometimes you just can’t rake in enough with lunch boxes, coloring books, and flame throwers. You’ve got to throw in the obligatory cartoon adaptation. Cartoons based on films aren’t as common as they once were, but back in the 80s, you could scarcely make it through a Saturday morning without seeing at least one.

Discussed
The REAL Ghostbusters
The Addams Family
Street Fighter
Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventures
Dumb And Dumber
Ace Ventura
The Mask
Back To The Future
Teen Wolf
The… Warrior King?!??!
…and MORE!

Teen Wolf

Teen Wolf! Comin' out to play!


Warrior King in Street Fighter

A crossover connection between Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter?! Yeah! Believe it or not, this guy made a very brief cameo in the Mortal Kombat cartoon, as you'll see in the very next image.
