The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon Podcast

After the vintage feel of What's New and the downright wild Get A Clue, the Scooby Gang dive into arguably the darkest material they've tackled to date. Mystery Incorporated is the high watermark for the franchise in terms of serialized storytelling and genuine stakes, all with a loving eye to what made the whole thing click in the first place and for Hanna-Barbera in general. Fan artist Office Anomaly hops into the Mystery Machine with us for a dive into a pair of episodes and a discussion of the show's legacy.

Deep within the halls of power of Little Tokyo, a malicious fox- wait, rat, he's a rat in the English version. That's the biggest liberty taken with the original Kyattō Ninden Teyandē when Saban got the rights from Tatsunoko to localize it and wound up without much in the way of scripts, translated or otherwise. The end result is the gag dub to end all gag dubs, somehow even wackier than the already very silly original show. So pack a heck of a lunch to enjoy this episode with!

Alongside flying, what kid doesn't dream of being able to talk to their pets and other animals and they'd talk back? The wish fulfilment premise of The Wild Thornberrys became a launching point for a fun adventure/comedy series and a better than average educational vehicle, too. Having Tim Curry ham it up as an eccentric nature show host certainly helps, too! We finally return to the world of Nicktoons with this episode, and pay a small tribute to a much-loved YouTube personality in the process.

What started as an attempt to do a Peppa Pig style show for Australia turned into a global sensation that attracted audiences far beyond the preschool age group it was intended for. Bluey and her family and friends learn as they go and grow, with warm humor and storytelling based on real experiences. Cary Woodham returns to the podcast to take us on a trip to get to know the Healers if not for real life then for some approximation of it.

Hey folks, here's the story 'bout Betty the Booper, she was a real sweet boop-a-doop-a-dooper. From being an unnamed poodle singer in a supper club to starring in the Fleischer's first color cartoon, animation's fabulous flapper dazzled audiences with her charm and the adorable voices of Mae Questel, Margie Hines and others. As her earliest version entered the public domain a short while ago, we take a look at a quartet of her short subjects.
