As we describe it, this is the '8th grade lit paper' of cartoon podcasts. It involves a deliberate investigation to what makes old cartoons tick, and a healthy respect for digression. Also eggs.

    Watch Forever: UFO50 Games to Watch

    UFO50 isn’t just an incredible game, isn’t just an amazing concept packed with even more awesome ideas, like some kind of gaming fractal, but it’s so unique and cool that it brought The Cartoncast back out of retirement for one last job.

    223 - Baccano!

    Baccano! is brilliant. I’m not even going to front with this one, guys. We both have way too much reverence for this show to do a bit about it that will do it justice. Just take our recommendation as gospel, dust off your fedoras, and get ready for one of the greatest dubbing triumphs of our generation.

    222 - Aqua Teen Hunger Force

    Ben and Zane were worried that they were losing their street cred. They were known as the Cartoncasters, sure, but did anybody know about their detective careers? That time they saved the world? The horrible monsters they created/defeated/rebirthed? They brought Ian in to give them a makeover and to let the whole world know that they were the true Land-based Adult Action Squad.

    221 - Mighty Max

    The 90’s was a verdant era for cartoons, coming off the success of Ducktales. However, it was also the era of Tude. Ben and Zane went wandering for a decent - just decent! - protagonist, buried amongst the dross of hedgehogs’ Sonic and Zeldas’ Link. Thank goodness they were able to call in the Mighty one, Gary, to use his catalogue of all things 90’s pop culture. He revealed to them not only do such protagonists exist, but they also have electric guitars. Sold!

    Unshell'd - Once I was on the Backfoot, but Help! It's suddenly a Castle... and I've gone through it so many times - Give me a Break, Hokkaido! We will never see the end. V1S2FP2E1B Doujinshi

    What’s cooler, Moonwalking or the Running Man?
