Cartoon Night in Canada Chris Luciantonio

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! In the next installment of our big hitter series, just in time for the new reboot season, we are taking look at the flagship series from Marathon Media that blends action, style, and barely disguised fetishes - OMG it's like, Totally Spies!

Howdy campers! On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie are talking about the strangely lucrative trend of "celebrity vanity cartoons" with one of the most beloved Canadian comedians of all time. John Candy conquered Hollywood in the 1980s, but the '90s brought a new venture - Saturday Morning Environmentally Conscious Cartoons! It's Camp Candy, and if you think John Candy wasn't going to smuggle a bunch of his sketch comedy buddies from SCTV into his big NBC cartoon, you would be dead wrong.

Episode covered for the podcast is "Saturday Morning Polka Fever." Written by Tino Insana. Directed by Winston Richard.

Prompted by the ongoing genocidal campaigns effecting the people of Palestine, Chris and Sylvie decided to tackle an animated documentary from 2017 that endeavored to portray the Israel-West Bank Barrier in a nuanced perspective based on an outsider's perspective. It failed. Miserably. While visually it stuns through a masterful mixing of animation techniques by Alberta based filmmaker Cam Christiansen, as an adaptation of a self-serving, close-minded monologue written by British playwright David Hare back in 2009, its biases and outdated views are apparent and frustrating.

We are back on our anime bullshit with another all-time classic series that was introduced to us Canadians by a dub produced in Vancouver. It's Rumiko Takahashi's seminal Shonen series Inuyasha, a beloved series that Sylvie and Chris were first introduced to through the YTV anime programing block "Bionix." As with all CanaDUB episodes, we break down the phenomenon of the series, its release in Canada, and the dynamics, performances, and reception of its dubbing produced by the fine people over at Ocean Productions. Plus, Sylvie gives her definitive breakdown of what constitutes a Little Guy™.

Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 51 "Inuyasha's Soul, Devoured." Written by Junki Takegami and directed by Satoshi Toba. Dub directed Karl Willems, Teri Snelgrove, and Marc Matsumoto. Original Canadian airdate April 4, 2004.

Howdy Campers! Ever want to spend your summer vacation with some cryptid counsellors and a boundless hyperactive energy?? Then do we have a surprise Canadian entry in the Disney XD lineup for you! It's Camp Lakebottom - a sugar-rush of a throw-everything-at-the-wall camp comedy that gave one of the hosts an ear-splitting headache. Otherwise, it's a fun time! #SasquatchFraser

Like...whatever, it's Daft Planet.

On this week's podcast, we are looking back at a time when the vibe of the young generation was blasé, sarcastic, and all-around disaffected, which made it very hard to make cartoons that spoke to them. In the early 2000s, Teletoon tried to court this demographic with a flash-animated, pop culture-obsessed portrait of dispassionate teens who are too cool to care...even about a Requiem for a Dream spiral of addiction for video games and boy band music. It's cool, I guess, I don't know.

Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 5 "Requiem for a Game." Directed by Jon Minnis and written by Brent Donnelly and Derry Smith. Original airdate October 10, 2002. (Full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOvdlN33_ys)
