    Pinky and The Brain...and Larry & Where the Deer and the Mousealopes Play (with Marc and Jordan of That's Not Quite All Folks)

    Join Mary Jo (Pines), Kellie (Pluto), and special guests Marc Halem and Jordan Schmidt of That's Not Quite All Folks: A Looney Tunes Podcast as they discuss Pinky and The Brain...and Larry & Where the Deer and the Mousealopes! Pinky and The Brain...and Larry is a meta middle finger to the network and a humorous exercise in why adding a third foil to a two-character show is a recipe for disaster. Where the Deer and the Mousealopes Play chronicles the mice as they masquerade as an endangered species in an effort to obtain control over Pittsburgh and the steel mills through reparations (a choice the writers did not think through entirely). Additionally, we will cover such topics as Coyote vs. Acme, the Simpsons writers' grudge against A Pinky and The Brain Christmas, the music of Buster Poindexter, and one of the most infamous moments in Oscars' history.  0:00 - 33:43 - Intro, News, Mistakes, and Comments 33:44 - 37:48 -  Pinky and The Brain...and Larry  52:09 - 1:18:07 - First and Fun Facts 1:18:08- 1:29:41 - Thoughts on Pinky and The Brain...and Larry 1:29:42 - 1:59:22 Where the Deer and the Mousealopes Play 1:59:23 - 2:19:23 Fun Facts 2:19:24 - 2:29:02 Thoughts on Where the Deer and the Mousealopes Play 2:29:03 - 2:35:57 - Narf Ratings, Word of the Day, Contacts & Closing That's Not Quite All Folks Contact Info Twitter: @that_looney Bluesky: @that_looney Instagram: tnqaf Marc's Social Media Twitter and Bluesky: @marchalem1995 Jordan's Social Media Twitter and Bluesky: @tallguyschmidt The Hunchcast of Notre Dame -  "Courage the Cowardly Dog: The Hunchback of Nowhere" (2000) ft.

    Brinky (with Stardella)

    It's been a long time coming, folks, and we're ready to talk about the episode that birthed the shipname! Join Mary Jo (Pines), Kellie (Pluto), and special guest Stardella for a jam-packed discussion of the fan favorite episode, Brinky! When Brain attempts to create a clone in his image, Pinky's toenail is merged with his DNA, and the result is shocking. The clone, Romy, inherits Brain and Pinky's mannerisms but yearns for a life beyond world domination, and the mice learn to reconcile with their son's desires.  Additionally, we'll be chatting about Bluey, Fun and Fancy Free, McCarthyism, The Muppets, and the ethics of cloning.  Stardella's Social Media Sites Tik-Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stardelladraws?lang=en Tumblr: https://www.tumblr.com/stardella AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/users/Nessiemay/pseuds/Nessiemay Contact Us!
