  1. What A Cartoon! - Jem "The Fan" With Dan McCoy

    What A Cartoon! - Jem "The Fan" With Dan McCoy

    In the mid-80s, the people who brought us cartoons like G.I. Joe and Transformers asked themselves an important question: Why don't we try selling toys to girls? And sell they did via the magic of Jem: a truly outrageous animated series about a glam-rocking girl group at odds with their bitter rivals, The Misfits. While the series burned fast and bright—and failed to make waves with a revival 30 years later—Jem lives on in our hearts as one of the most delightfully '80s creations ever made (that also happens to be anime). This month, bust out the mascara and fright wigs and get ready to take a trip to the totally radical Reagan era as we look at one of this series' most twisted episodes. Our guest: Dan McCoy from The Flop House podcast Support this podcast and get over 200 ad-free bonus episodes by visiting Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons and becoming a patron!

    What A Cartoon! - Tom Goes to the Mayor "Rats Off to Ya!"

    Rats off to ya, What A Cartoon listeners! This month, we're returning to picturesque Jefferton to discuss an Adult Swim holiday classic that's filled our cups with yuletide brine for more than two decades. It's been over six years since we last checked in on Tom Goes to the Mayor, and this Christmas season is the perfect opportunity to look into yet another misguided entrepreneurial effort from the one and only Tom Peters. So put on your decorative wristlets and blast your favorite ZaZu album as we explore this yuletide tale of capitalism run amok.

  8. What A Cartoon! - Hollywood Dog

    10/11/2025

    What A Cartoon! - Hollywood Dog

    In 1990, Fox aired a pilot that then went unseen for over 26 years. Its name? Hollywood Dog. And while it isn't very good, this live-action/animation hybrid—developed at the same time as The Simpsons—features some truly ambitious special effects for a network that had barely gotten off of the ground. We could only rely on fuzzy memories for the nearly three decades Hollywood Dog remained unavailable, but thankfully, some kind maniac discovered a clean copy, and it's currently available for all to see on Youtube. Now, three entirely different maniacs can discuss it on this very podcast! This week on What A Cartoon, join us and special guest Drew Mackie (of Gayest Episode Ever) as we gaze in terror at Hollywood Dog: the Poochie-fied character who threatened to kick off the '90s, but instead kicked the bucket and faded into obscurity. Support this podcast and get over 200 full-length bonus episodes by visiting Patreon.com/TalkingSimpsons and becoming a patron! And please follow us at @TalkSimpsonsPod on Bluesky!
