We're getting totally batty on the Toon-Train today (that's right, new lore, we're on a steam train now) and watching two VASTLY different interpretations of pipistrello-man. Or are they that different?? Yes, actually, for once they really are. www.patreon.com/toonhounds

As Billy Shakes once said: Brevity is the soul of wit. So is a 90 minute podcast about 20 minute cartoons witless, or can we bite our thumb at the bard? The time has come at last to find out if the toonhounds are whoreson zeds, with no more faith in us than a stewed prune; or will old wrinkles come with our mirth and laughter?

Or as we like to call it, X-Men the Animated Series '92 Season 7. This week on Toonhounds, we struggle with the concept of time travel, complain extensively, and give advice on staying safe in the summer by not staring at the sun.

I know what you're thinking, I wish my favourite toon-based fortnightly podcast would do an episode on anime psychics. It's your lucky day, Fred, because here we are.

Howdy toonfans! Today we're seeing what happens when a studio thinks something is going to be popular, even if they put no actual effort into it. A cautionary tale about creative vision, bandwagons and giving Yogi Bear clothes.

ERROR: EPISODE DESCRIPTION NOT FOUND That's 'robot' for "Hello toonheads!" Since the dawn of Kraftwerk, humanity has been fascinated by robots. What are they? Where do they come from? Why did we let them steal all the fun jobs, instead of the shit ones? These questions being organised in a group of three is a reference to how AI stole everything from us. Here's an episode about how, maybe, the internet is quite good. And also how it isn't.

Finishing off our big ol' look at the 2023 Scott Pilgrim animated series with 4 more great episodes. We also talk about new games coming out we think look good post gamesfest, and answer some emails

Welcome to the first part of our look at 2023's Scott Pilgrim Takes Off! The sort-of-but-not-really adaptation of the graphic novel and movie. We talk about video games a lot in this one.

Alternate title: The evil of man. Which doesn't really narrow it down. Mouse May draws to a close this week, may it f'rever be r'membered, and we watched some films about mice having grand old adventures. Are we in for whimsical, Wind in the Willows-esque jaunts where the voles wear waistcoats and pilot small motor-vehicles, or will we end up staring at the walls and contemplating the injustices of humanity? Probably a little of both.

Happy Mouse May! For this absolutely real holiday, we're celebrating with a staple of animation and comedy — putting animals in little hats.

Babies. We all were 'em. Who needs 'em? That's what we're out to answer in this week's episode of Toonhounds. Not us apparently, get ready to be slightly upset with us for our inflammatory comments about Muppet Babies.

Put the pedal to the medal and get ready to kick it into high gear, slam on the brakes and crank up the stereo, live life on the fast lane and uh... turn on the wipers because, uh... This week we watched Initial D and Redline and it was a lot of fun!

Happy Mar25 day, Toonfriends. This week on the show we watched some more toons based on vidjagames. I think this is like the 4th time? Who can keep track. Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness was a show that made us both almost fall asleep within a 20 minute runtime, and The Super Mario Bros Movie was a movie that made us complain about Nintendo's output for way too long and probably makes us sound like ungrateful old assholes. Good episode!

Awright toonhaaands. We've got a couple of doozies for you this week, as we strap a ludicrous amount of pouches to our kevlar-lined uniforms, unnecessarily c**k our pistols and put huge knives in our socks, because we're watching some violent superhero shows. The Boys present: Diabolical and Invincible are in our laser sights from the helicopter were hanging upside down from, so expect a lot of talking shit about Garth Ennis. --- Patreon.com/Toonhounds

In the name of cartoons, I will punish you!! With a really good podcast. We watched some shows about magic, girls, and magical girls this week. Sailor Moon, and Miraculous Ladybug.
