We're on a nostalgic journey to dig through decades of Canadian animation to find the good, the bad, and the just plain weird cartoons of the Great White North.
Every week, Sylvie and Chris take a look at an animated something or other from their shared experience of growing up in Canada to see what holds up, what left an impact on us, and what is best left in the past.

Episode 107 - Class of the Titans II
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.

Episode 106 - Totally Spies!
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!
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.

Episode 105 - Camp Candy
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.

Episode 104 - Wall (2017)
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.
Wall (2017). Directed by Cam Christiansen. Available to stream on the NFB website: https://www.nfb.ca/film/wall/

Episode 103 - CanaDUB: Inuyasha (Ocean Dub)
We are back on our anime b******t 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.

Customer Reviews
Outside Canada please
I like this podcast. I think it is nicely done. I am unfortunanlty looking for another podcast that covers cartoons. I like this one. Only request I have is if y'all could cover more shows than ones that were made in Canada. I am just looking for one that is a broader reviewer podcast than for shows from one local. Not a bad show though overall
