    Ezekiel | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

    If you found out you suddenly had a son, how would you handle the situation? If you answered "force him to become the best athlete of all time or else kill myself," you're clearly in the Master Shake school of thought. In this iconic Aqua Teen episode Patton Oswalt returns as yet another memorable character, proving age has nothing to do with innocence. We dive into Carl's shiny new black shotgun, Shake's actually correct baby handling advice, and why Aqua Teen's grounded writing approach keeps the show relatable despite being crazy as hell. Other topics discussed include stupid liquor laws, Willy Smith being the best actor of all time forever (for real!), and Incubus' Xavier Renegade Angel-esque album naming conventions.

    Antenna | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

    Would you put a giant tower over your house for 40 yorlocks? Cuz Carl sure did. In a return to the classic Aqua Teen formula, Frylock is solving the case of the menacing antenna... sort of. Kinda. Not really. We're diving into George Lowe's glorious 2 minutes in this episode, gushing over Mike Judge, and marvelling at the framing device on this episode. Other topics discussed include projection TVs, Jay-Z's short lived retirement, and the influence of Beavis and Butthead on Aqua Teen.

    Bart Oates | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

    Bart Oates | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

    Huddle up, running crew! We’re going long and deep into the end zone this week with a full-on blitz about Bart Oates, the gridiron great… and the Aqua Teen episode, too! Dave Willis, Bob Pettitt, and Jay Wade Edwards are bringing their A-game (via e-mail) to the podcast, tackling this story-heavy episode of ATHF like a quarterback sack.
    We’re going to break down the play-by-play of the working title of this episode, an audible that’s easy to miss if you’re not listening for the snap count-- and don’t forget about the background artwork that didn’t quite make it past the goal line.
    Other topics on the scrimmage line include how other games are pulling an offsides by ripping off Garry’s Mod, some Hail Mary attempts to deal with your rap set being cut 15 minutes short, and in a matchup as mismatched as a linebacker versus a kicker, we’re comparing Carl and Maya Angelou. 
    So strap on your helmets and cinch up your chinstraps, because we’re about to kick off this discussion. Hut, hut, hike!

    Moonajuana | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

    Moonajuana | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

    Open your lungs and inhale the most premium moonajuana money can buy... from the dump. It was free, but you can't put a price tag on the unbeatable high you will attain. Better yet, while you're floating away on a consciousness of bliss, 2D aliens from space will rid you of your worldly possessions. You just can't beat that convenience. We're diving into Moonajuana, the last proper Mooninites episode. Is this yet another successful entry in the Mooninites saga? Man, I'm too high on moony jane, I couldn't tell ya. Other topics discussed include Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny, Now That's What I Call Music's dwindling variety, and how Assy McGee gets a bad wrap.

    Podcast Schedule Change - Moonajuana out Feb 12th

    Podcast Schedule Change - Moonajuana out Feb 12th

    Bittersweet news-- the podcast is moving from weekly to every-other-week. It's not what I wanted to happen but it makes the most sense. This will allow me to consistently do episode deep dives, which are the most popular episode type the podcast does. We'll still do interviews too, they'll come out whenever they're ready (probably first on the Patreon). Maybe one day we can go back to weekly if the Patreon does well enough. That would be badass!

    Grim Reaper Gutters | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

    Grim Reaper Gutters | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

    Dan at Grim Reaper Gutters won't leave until he makes a sale... just like I can't leave til I tell you all about this episode. The ATHF clip-show parody turned dadaist nonsense, this is a supremely unique episode. Meatwad and Shake reminisce... Frylock made a movie... Tera Patrick enjoys hanging out with the Aqua Teens... and Carl dies but I mean, that always happens. Are you surprised? We're also critiquing Frylock's film to see how much he actually saved Shake and Meatwad's asses. Other topics discussed include the Wii coming out in 2006, how Tera Patrick can save you from a corndog, and how talking food products convey the human experience better than most other shows.

God Tier Podcasting

A must-listen for all Aqua Teen heads. Ronnie takes a deep dive into each episode and leaves nothing untouched. He points out little tidbits that I’ve never even noticed when watching the show (minor animation errors, new visual assets, etc.) and fills you in with loads of interesting information about everyone involved in the creation of each episode! Also lots of intriguing interviews with said individuals which include the likes of Dave Willis, Matt Maiellaro, Carey Means, MC Chris and many more!

jp_norris ,

The best ATHF podcast out there!

Ronnie’s deep dives into the ATHF series are not only very informative but very fun! His interviews with actual team members of the original bring this podcast to the next level! Highly recommend for ATHF fans!

ShintsukiWithALaptop ,

Exactly what I needed

Ronnie is da man and this community that I’ve discovered through this podcast is the best!
