Cartoon Combat The 90's Boys

We are back- Good lord I have been sitting on this audio for months. I just needed to get this out there because the 90's bois are almost done with a season. But before the final we need to figure out which set of mutants gets to go.

This episode has everything- Mutant Turtles, Mutant Men, Jokes!


That's it for description. I have been dragging my feet posting this so done.

We are into the final four for the first season of cartoon combat. And a new round means a new format. Who likes consistency? Nobody!

We will be putting Powerpuff Girls and Gargoyles head to head to see which episode is going to the final.

The other show? Death penalty.

Who will triumph in this battle of humanoid heavyweights?  Will Goliath and his clan soar to untold heights?  Or will Ripster and his bros evade the dual threats of Dr. Piranoid and copyright attornies and skate on to the next round?  Find out by tuning your ear-holes into this week’s edition of...CARTOON COMBAT!

Sometimes this show is fun to make. Sometimes. This is one of them, we draw up the battle lines between Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers and X-Men The Animated Series. The main points? Merchandise, Gravestones, and figuring out if Wolverine can fit inside a tree.

Warning: the audio for this episode is garbage.
For the first episode of round 2 we have a powerhouse matchup if ever there has been one. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vs. Batman The Animated series. We introduce the format for round 2 which is randomly choosing 3 criteria to judge the shows on- and boy do we have some shows to judge. These shows are some of the most iconic on our list and it will be a ride to see what comes out on top.

Bats and Turtles a classic matchup akin to cats and dogs, Ants and Ant-eaters, humans and humans. Who has the best jam? Which is the best of its franchise? All questions we will try to answer.

We are also watching more than the top three imdb episodes, now we are watching the first episode of every season (up to 10 episodes). As always IMDB is our bible for episode numbers and season numbers. Looking at you Disney+ and your 1 season of 64 episodes for basically every show.
