Yes, this week it’s all about cut scenes and other ways that animation has found its way into video games over the years. Laserdisc, FMVs, and cinema scenes. Some of it good. Some of it bad. We’re going to be talking all about it.
I also threw in some game music interludes, because you know I love game music. Choices are from Lunar 1 and 2, from both the Sega CD and PlayStation soundtracks, plus a little something from Dark Wizard.
Twelve laughs a year? You think THAT’S bad…

The appeal of a crossover should be simple enough to understand. It’s a chance for popular characters to meet and share the spotlight. It’s like watching two of your favorite shows simultaneously. It’s a chance to mix and match styles of different universes to play off of one another. But usually what happens is that one half of the crossover will assume the lead and the other will simply be along for the ride. Sometimes there’s no chemistry and no reason is ever given for the crossover to have occurred. And sometimes, crossovers fail because the hype surround a crossover becomes so great that the people making it forgot to tell a story.
In any event, Ben and I talk about some of our favorite and not-so-favorite cartoon crossovers that have happened over the years.
Topics:
Defenders Of The Earth
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
Jetsons Meet The Flintstones
Cartoon All-Stars To The Rescue
The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour
Daffy Duck Meets The Groovie Goolies
Hector Ramirez
Scooby Doo
