Cartoon Night in Canada Chris Luciantonio

On this week's episode, we are returning to an absolute classic - another steamy monster-of-the-week chapter from Cybersix, a show that burned briefly, but burned brightly to set high standards for television animation and storytelling unseen at the time beyond the likes of Batman: the Animated Series. Will our gender-fluid, leatherclad antifa supersoldier overcome the sociopathic nazi child and his soul-sucking eye creature? Tune in to find out! And as a little bonus, Sylvie takes us down a fascinating internet rabbit whole she got lost in that proves how difficult it is to source reliable information about these productions some times.

Episode covered is Episode 10 "The Eye." Directed by Atsuko Tanaka. Written by Jono Howard. Original airdate October 10, 1999.

For our annual celebration of all things queer at the National Film Board of Canada, we have a hell of a double feature for Pride month. You wouldn't think we could pair a hand-drawn, deadpan porno-parody tale of repressed Fox sexuality with a touching, empathetic, clay-on-glass portrait of queer romantic love within the developmentally-disabled community. But we found a way! It's a tonal mishmash of a double-feature - a classic NFB showcase for Pride month. #ToomasDidNothingWrong

Films covered for the podcast are 2017's Manivald (01:05) directed by Chintis Lundgren, and 2010's John and Michael (27:21) directed by Shira Avni. Both produced by the NFB.

On this week's Pride special, we are taking you back to a dark time for LGBT representation in children's entertainment where the idea of a same-sex kiss was shot down by corporate meddling in the pre-production phase. Ok...maybe not that far back. Back in 2017, a little Nelvana magical girl show could have been one of the first steps forward for moderate representation of LGBT characters. Unfortunately for Mysticons, Nickelodeon was not willing to support the production team's vision. And we needed to sell toys...a capitalist tale as old as time.

Episode covered for the podcase was episode 7 "Scourge of the Seven Skies." Written by Grant Sauvé. Directed by Matt Ferguson. Original Canadian airdate September 24, 2017.

On this week's episode, we are stepping into the cutesy goth aesthetic once more with a stop-motion series that we could politely classify as being "inspired" by the works of Tim Burton. A misfit group of unfortunates at a ramshackle orphanage trying desperately to be adopted despite their colourful deformities - you'd think that would lead to a couple of good chuckles over this forlorn found family. You'd be wrong, because What It's Like Being Alone drops the ball in more ways than you can imagine. Incidentally, have you ever watched The Oblongs?

Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 10 "Lucky Lucy, Or You Got To Know When To Hold Them." Directed by Rob Stefaniuk and written by Brad Peyton and Karen Walton. Original airdate August 28, 2006.

On this week's episode, to celebrate the early access release of a Greek mythology inspired roguelite sequel that one host is hooked on, we are taking another look at a wonderful artifact from the 2000s pop culture Greek mythology craze - Class of the Titans. While debating whether or not we've entered into another phase of this phenomenon, we breakdown a classic episode involving bait-and-switch plot twists, the personification of death, will they won't they romance, and Mt. Olympus cuckoldry. If you haven't beaten Hades II yet and really want to give Cronus his just desserts, then boy do we have the episode for you.

Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 27 "Cronus Vanquished." Written by Richard Clark. Directed by Brad Goodchild. Original airdate September 5, 2007.

On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie program a fashionably (heh) late Mother's Day episode, and wind up accidentally programming a Pride celebration episode!

Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 36 "Mommies Dearest." Written by Michelle & Robert Lamoreaux. Directed by Stephane Berry. Original Canadian airdate April 9, 2003.
