Episode 23 – The DC Animated Universe!

The DCAU

The DCAU

Tonight, we are talking about the DC Animated Universe as a whole.  We give Bruce Timm the kudos he deserves.  Oh, we bash the Marvel animated universe a bit more too… but they DESERVE it.

This is just an introductory episode, so it’s just a nice, cool 30 minutes this week, folks.  Next week, we’ll dive in head-first into Batman.

 

Topics we talk about:
Bruce Timm; he’s a hero
Marvel doesn’t understand continuity.
Sending stuff back to Korea
Fucking BONE CLAWS! (How do they work?!)
Dion died on camera
The Dreamworks face
Neil drops an Animation Runner Kuromi reference
The etymology of AKOM
The Apocrypha of the DC Animated Universe

Episode 22 – Tiffany Grant!

"No pizza and no Chinese..."

Oh boy, guys! Heaven can wait, we have Tiffany Grant! A fun-filled episode where we learn about a legendary voice actress’s methods. This is so special that I, Ben Carver, am writing this post! Mr. Neil can’t be the ‘man behind the curtain’ the whole time, right? Rob spilled orange tang on his clothes and later on, also embarrasses himself! We bombard Tiffany with industry questions, and even questions about her interior decorating.

Topics covered:
Rapture was late
Tiffany’s acting method
Industry Secrets
The Gurren that almost was…
Hello Kitty bathroom and the picture that Tiffany Refused to take
Tiffany Grant’s Asuka lost a contest?
We don’t know anyone named Lucy Moralez or Helen Bed

Oh, and the guys and I tried hard restraining ourselves from asking Tiffany doing voices… we MOSTY succeeded.

Overall, this was an awesome episode! Come back next week, and we will have more fan service!

Serena from Slayers

HO! HO! HO! HO!


Asuka Langley Soryu

"What are you? STUPID?!"


Kyouko

Tiffany always plays the one named Kyouko in Nuku-Nuku, even after she switched heads with Arisa.


Becky from Gunsmith Cats

"No pizza and..." Yeah, you get the joke by now.

Episode 21 – The Venture Bros.

Venture Bros.

GO TEAM VENTURE!!!!

Double Dammit! After some technical difficulties, we have our Venture Brothers show. Better late than never, I suppose. Joining us this week is the ever wonderful Kittyhawk, and Matt Senko of DVD Podblast!

This is our longest episode yet, clocking in at an astounding two hours, which is technically not epic length, or I totally would have started hacking stuff out.

This week is all about…
Failure!
Nerfing the killing machine
Hank is not an idiot
The trap that wasn’t
Album names we’d like to see
The Senko Photoshop that didn’t make it
SPOOOOOON!

Team Venture

Note the psychotic killing machine that's flying the plane.


Dr. Mrs. The Monarch

Neil's calendar girl...who is not a trap.

Bonus stuff we talked about:

Episode 20 – The Irresponsible Captain Tylor

The Irresponsible Captain Tylor

Sail Away To Future!

This episode is appropriately… IRRESPONSIBLE! We may have gone off the map, but we stayed on course. We talked some Tylor in-between a lot of digressions.

Joining us this week were Kittyhawk of Valkyrie Yuuki and Pablo Praino. This was to be the favorite of our Blade Runner Era episode, but we couldn’t do it without the Kittehhawk. We were so pumped for this. In fact, we were so excited to do this episode that we forgot to do an opening for the show!

In This Episode:
“…back to Tylor!”
Seducing the computer.
The Blockbuster Four.
Crispin Freeman is awesome!
Nelvana cock blocks Card Captor Sakura
Tales from the Working Designs liner notes!
Watch Roujin Z!

NES Zapper

Kittyhawk's sidearm of choice


The Rightstuf

Oh! Oh! Oh-oh-oh!


The Very Best of Jenny Stigile

We even talk about the golden tones of Jennifer Stigile!

Episode 19 – Muppet Babies

Nanny

The stuff of horrors.

We’re down in the basement, putting on a show. We’re joined this week by Stephenie O’Donnell, Aisaku, and Pablo Praino. We talk about the first and only good kid-ified cartoon ever made, Muppet Babies, by the only man who could ever pull off such a show, Jim Henson.

 

We talk about why the show worked. We talk about how it influenced other shows. We even talk about that one segment that everyone forgot about.

Topics discussed:
Muppet orphans.
Headless Nanny.
TARDIS is the nursery.
Scientology propaganda.
Breaking up the Muppet sausage fest.
Bean Bunny, Robin, and Janice show up.
Baby Fonzie jumps the shark.
The dark side of Frank Welker.
That piece of trivia that everybody knows.
Neil drops a bit of season 2 trivia that nobody remembers.
Shemp is better than Curly, and lots of other digressions.
And it all takes place in an autistic kid’s brain.

Muppet Babies Live!

Giant Muppet Babies on stage!

Yeah! That's the TICKET!

Check the date. Stephenie went to see Muppet Babies Live two weeks before Jim Henson's death.
