00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:01.980
Hey, it’s your friendly neighborhood Spider -Man

00:00:01.980 –> 00:00:04.759

as we are presenting you with the Geekcast Radio

00:01:04.719 –> 00:01:11.540
Solo. Oh. No rum, folks. No rum. Yar. Yar. There

00:01:11.540 –> 00:01:17.980
be no booty here. No. Oh, we’re all flabby ass

00:01:17.980 –> 00:01:21.439
that around here, folks. All flabby asses. How

00:01:21.439 –> 00:01:23.939
is everybody? It’s been a while since we did

00:01:23.939 –> 00:01:27.540
one of these things. I’m good. I’m back in the

00:01:27.540 –> 00:01:29.859
land of the living after like a three week cold.

00:01:30.280 –> 00:01:34.000
Yeah. Three week zombie infection is what he

00:01:34.000 –> 00:01:36.659
had. Really, folks. The zombies got him. He went

00:01:36.659 –> 00:01:39.180
to too many comic cons. Speaking of comic cons.

00:01:39.930 –> 00:01:42.930
We just wrapped up Baltimore Comic Con 2025.

00:01:43.090 –> 00:01:46.489
The Comic Con series came on and we did a convention

00:01:46.489 –> 00:01:50.409
attention about Baltimore Comic Con 2025. So

00:01:50.409 –> 00:01:55.829
that that happened. And yeah, we’re going to

00:01:55.829 –> 00:01:59.609
get back to the nominees. And this is, as I said,

00:01:59.709 –> 00:02:02.590
the the final countdown for this. And we’re going

00:02:02.590 –> 00:02:06.430
to go from the 2020. I was thinking that, too.

00:02:06.510 –> 00:02:09.110
That was the whole point. That was the whole

00:02:09.110 –> 00:02:11.590
point. Let’s just hope YouTube doesn’t kill us

00:02:11.590 –> 00:02:17.110
on you singing that half note. I know, but I’m

00:02:17.110 –> 00:02:20.150
just saying. Well, it’s not the right pitch,

00:02:20.250 –> 00:02:26.509
so it’ll pass. Let’s hope, let’s hope. So in

00:02:26.509 –> 00:02:29.090
this one, we’re going to go from the 2010s all

00:02:29.090 –> 00:02:31.650
the way up into the half decade that we are currently

00:02:31.650 –> 00:02:33.590
in now because we haven’t finished the whole

00:02:33.590 –> 00:02:37.780
decade of the 2020s yet. remind people optimus

00:02:37.780 –> 00:02:41.699
solo what this format is all about so instead

00:02:41.699 –> 00:02:44.099
of letting people vote for thousands and thousands

00:02:44.099 –> 00:02:46.240
of cartoons and making everybody’s life difficult

00:02:46.240 –> 00:02:49.439
we decided to narrow it down by nominating certain

00:02:49.439 –> 00:02:51.979
cartoons from each time period we’ve already

00:02:51.979 –> 00:02:53.979
done four episodes of this so we’ve revealed

00:02:53.979 –> 00:02:57.439
50 nomination nominees from the pre -80s from

00:02:57.439 –> 00:03:01.120
the 80s from the 90s from the 2000s And here’s

00:03:01.120 –> 00:03:03.020
where it gets interesting, because now we’re

00:03:03.020 –> 00:03:05.919
venturing into the time period that was not covered

00:03:05.919 –> 00:03:10.639
by the original top 100 countdown, because it’s

00:03:10.639 –> 00:03:12.520
15 years later, folks, and these are the last

00:03:12.520 –> 00:03:15.460
15 years. So there may have been some that had

00:03:15.460 –> 00:03:19.159
just barely snuck into our knowledge banks when

00:03:19.159 –> 00:03:21.259
we were doing this countdown from the ones that

00:03:21.259 –> 00:03:23.159
got released, you know, right at the beginning

00:03:23.159 –> 00:03:24.860
of this one. But most of these had not come out

00:03:24.860 –> 00:03:27.240
yet. when we did our original countdown. So it’s

00:03:27.240 –> 00:03:28.879
going to be interesting talking about these.

00:03:28.979 –> 00:03:31.360
And as we’ve referenced in quite a few of the

00:03:31.360 –> 00:03:36.319
other nomination episodes, these would be the

00:03:36.319 –> 00:03:38.919
ones that could be kicking out some of the shows

00:03:38.919 –> 00:03:40.639
that we’ve already talked about, right? Like

00:03:40.639 –> 00:03:42.860
we talked about, there’s been 15 more years of

00:03:42.860 –> 00:03:45.219
cartoons. These are those cartoons that we’re

00:03:45.219 –> 00:03:48.439
talking about. So any of these that get in something

00:03:48.439 –> 00:03:51.620
from before has to get out. So that’s why I said

00:03:51.620 –> 00:03:54.139
it might get interesting here with these 50.

00:03:56.150 –> 00:03:59.310
And as we’ve said throughout the other ones,

00:03:59.330 –> 00:04:02.150
if you made the list of 50, that means that you’re

00:04:02.150 –> 00:04:05.750
at least worthy, noteworthy of being talked about.

00:04:05.930 –> 00:04:08.210
And we may have some special things coming along

00:04:08.210 –> 00:04:11.289
as well to get the fans involved that Steve or

00:04:11.289 –> 00:04:14.090
yourself can maybe tease at the end. But this

00:04:14.090 –> 00:04:18.029
is the last official list of nominees. So we

00:04:18.029 –> 00:04:20.410
are going to reveal these in alphabetical order

00:04:20.410 –> 00:04:24.240
like we have for all of the other ones. votes

00:04:24.240 –> 00:04:26.240
that have been cast yet none of these have made

00:04:26.240 –> 00:04:28.379
our list yet these are just the shows that are

00:04:28.379 –> 00:04:30.899
going to be eligible did i get everything right

00:04:30.899 –> 00:04:34.240
there mike i think so also want to remind everyone

00:04:34.240 –> 00:04:36.839
so no one freaks out and thinks they’ve missed

00:04:36.839 –> 00:04:40.379
out on anything this as he just said this is

00:04:40.379 –> 00:04:44.399
just us revealing what is eligible this is just

00:04:44.399 –> 00:04:47.180
us telling you this is just us giving you a taste

00:04:47.180 –> 00:04:50.589
of things to come This is us letting you know

00:04:50.589 –> 00:04:53.730
what is available. Again, I know I’m repeating,

00:04:53.889 –> 00:04:56.550
repeating, repeating what he already said, but

00:04:56.550 –> 00:04:59.649
it bears repeating because apparently some people

00:04:59.649 –> 00:05:03.569
have missed what we’ve said. We are doing this.

00:05:03.569 –> 00:05:05.589
And I missed what the people missed that we said.

00:05:05.670 –> 00:05:10.129
I mean, I’m just saying that some people have…

00:05:11.769 –> 00:05:15.050
basically it’s much we’ve done this for 15 years

00:05:15.050 –> 00:05:18.009
right and we’ve done a number of different top

00:05:18.009 –> 00:05:22.269
100 countdowns and what makes it easier for people

00:05:22.269 –> 00:05:24.110
that are trying to compile their list is giving

00:05:24.110 –> 00:05:27.069
them less choices so instead of like 3 000 cartoons

00:05:27.069 –> 00:05:31.110
to choose from we’re giving them 250 about well

00:05:31.110 –> 00:05:34.550
right but we’ve never done it in this way the

00:05:34.550 –> 00:05:39.329
format we’ve always done is we behind the scenes

00:05:39.329 –> 00:05:43.379
have gotten the three of us have gotten together

00:05:43.379 –> 00:05:46.699
or sometimes it’s been usually we’d have peacock

00:05:46.699 –> 00:05:49.480
michael with us or we’d have somebody maybe it

00:05:49.480 –> 00:05:52.240
was comic concierge dan or somebody we’ve had

00:05:52.240 –> 00:05:54.379
usually it’s three or four it’s usually us three

00:05:54.379 –> 00:05:57.639
and maybe a fourth we’d get behind the scenes

00:05:57.639 –> 00:05:59.959
we do all the work and then we would send out

00:05:59.959 –> 00:06:02.300
emails we are still going to be doing that we

00:06:02.300 –> 00:06:04.920
have not done that yet so you haven’t missed

00:06:04.920 –> 00:06:07.300
anything that’s my point folks let’s get into

00:06:07.300 –> 00:06:11.339
the list Let’s get into the list, he says. All

00:06:11.339 –> 00:06:13.259
right, starting. We’re going to reveal these

00:06:13.259 –> 00:06:15.060
in groups of five, so I’m just going to name

00:06:15.060 –> 00:06:18.160
off the five shows, maybe a slight amount of

00:06:18.160 –> 00:06:20.079
data depending on which set of shows it is, and

00:06:20.079 –> 00:06:22.040
then we’re going to get the panel’s reaction

00:06:22.040 –> 00:06:27.199
to those shows. So starting with the first set

00:06:27.199 –> 00:06:29.459
of five. Yeah, you think you’re pretty way up

00:06:29.459 –> 00:06:33.839
there, but I can get you. All right, let me just

00:06:33.839 –> 00:06:40.220
add three more drops of explosive diarrhea. Hey,

00:06:40.220 –> 00:06:41.939
Princess Bubblegum, when we bring the dead back

00:06:41.939 –> 00:06:44.279
to life, will they be filled with worms? No.

00:06:44.360 –> 00:06:46.800
If my decorbsinator serum works, then all the

00:06:46.800 –> 00:06:48.800
dead candy people will look as young and healthy

00:06:48.800 –> 00:06:56.519
as you do. And just like that, everything changed.

00:07:01.959 –> 00:07:06.620
At that terrible moment, in our hearts, we knew.

00:07:07.920 –> 00:07:17.439
Home. Was a pen. Humanity. Cattle. Are you nervous,

00:07:17.480 –> 00:07:20.759
Hedo? No way. I want this. Why would I be nervous?

00:07:20.980 –> 00:07:23.759
You’re 14 and going to college. Your brother

00:07:23.759 –> 00:07:26.579
is like a legend here. Also, I hear the new dean

00:07:26.579 –> 00:07:31.319
is a hard case. Beach! This episode of Louis

00:07:31.319 –> 00:07:39.420
is called The Beach! So we have to sell some

00:07:39.420 –> 00:07:42.319
burgers. Every year this weekend makes or breaks

00:07:42.319 –> 00:07:44.699
us. Who’s farting? It’s Gene’s sound effects

00:07:44.699 –> 00:07:46.699
thing. I thought that made you sound like a robot.

00:07:47.040 –> 00:07:52.040
Right. We have Adventure Time from 2010. So the

00:07:52.040 –> 00:07:55.519
first year in this block here. It’s aired 283

00:07:55.519 –> 00:07:57.680
episodes. It was on four of the nine lists that

00:07:57.680 –> 00:08:00.339
we kind of looked at as reference for this. It’s

00:08:00.339 –> 00:08:03.100
won over 33 awards. So Adventure Time is our

00:08:03.100 –> 00:08:07.199
first one. We have a little bit of an anime style

00:08:07.199 –> 00:08:11.079
here or flair with Attack on Titan. That’s from

00:08:11.079 –> 00:08:16.600
2013. We have Big Hero 6, the series from 2017.

00:08:17.639 –> 00:08:23.339
We have Bluey from 2018, giving us a little international

00:08:23.339 –> 00:08:27.970
flavor, I guess. There’s always some adult cartoons

00:08:27.970 –> 00:08:31.430
involved. So we got Bob’s Burgers from 2011.

00:08:31.829 –> 00:08:35.909
That’s had 269 episodes and won over 30 awards

00:08:35.909 –> 00:08:39.509
as well. So that was Adventure Time, Attack on

00:08:39.509 –> 00:08:43.409
Titan, Big Hero 6, the series, Bluey, and Bob’s

00:08:43.409 –> 00:08:46.929
Burgers. I’ll go first with this first set. And

00:08:46.929 –> 00:08:49.929
like we will mention a couple different times

00:08:49.929 –> 00:08:51.669
in the previous episodes, and we’ll probably

00:08:51.669 –> 00:08:56.600
mention it a few times this episode. Shows have

00:08:56.600 –> 00:08:59.899
not been seen by one, two or three of us, but

00:08:59.899 –> 00:09:01.860
it’s not time to cast our ballot. So we still

00:09:01.860 –> 00:09:03.779
have time to do homework. So you might hear us

00:09:03.779 –> 00:09:07.639
reference the rule of five or on our watch list.

00:09:07.679 –> 00:09:09.700
That means that there is a show on here that

00:09:09.700 –> 00:09:11.340
we have not seen, but we’re going to give it

00:09:11.340 –> 00:09:13.820
a view of five episodes to see if it’s going

00:09:13.820 –> 00:09:16.419
to garner a vote from us. So there may be some

00:09:16.419 –> 00:09:19.779
blind spots. The closer we get to present, the

00:09:19.779 –> 00:09:21.539
harder it is to have seen everything because

00:09:21.539 –> 00:09:24.220
we haven’t had. 40 years to see it we’ve only

00:09:24.220 –> 00:09:27.759
had the last 15 or or in some cases maybe even

00:09:27.759 –> 00:09:30.139
less than five years to see it so i’ll go ahead

00:09:30.139 –> 00:09:31.980
with my blind spots first even though this one

00:09:31.980 –> 00:09:34.000
has been out for 15 years i’ve never seen an

00:09:34.000 –> 00:09:37.059
episode of adventure time so i cannot speak to

00:09:37.059 –> 00:09:40.279
that i haven’t seen very much of bob’s burgers

00:09:40.279 –> 00:09:43.940
but i it kind of fits in the same ballpark as

00:09:43.940 –> 00:09:47.700
quite a few other adult primetime animated series

00:09:47.700 –> 00:09:50.179
so to me it becomes like what distinguishes one

00:09:50.179 –> 00:09:53.070
from the other on that one big hero six i’ve

00:09:53.070 –> 00:09:55.870
seen some snippets of i’m not the huge the like

00:09:55.870 –> 00:09:58.669
biggest big hero six movie fan i mean it was

00:09:58.669 –> 00:10:01.570
fine so it’s not something that really draws

00:10:01.570 –> 00:10:04.830
me to the cartoon i have went ahead and seen

00:10:04.830 –> 00:10:08.210
one episode of attack on titan i think the premise

00:10:08.210 –> 00:10:10.250
is interesting but i’ve only seen one episode

00:10:10.250 –> 00:10:12.389
so i need to see some more to figure out if it’s

00:10:12.389 –> 00:10:15.509
something i would be willing to cast a vote on

00:10:15.509 –> 00:10:17.750
or not. Like I said, interesting premise, but

00:10:17.750 –> 00:10:19.809
I didn’t get far enough in to see anything. I

00:10:19.809 –> 00:10:21.970
will say out of this five, the one that’s probably

00:10:21.970 –> 00:10:25.070
most sure to get a vote from me would be Bluey.

00:10:25.230 –> 00:10:27.590
I know that’s geared towards a younger audience,

00:10:27.750 –> 00:10:32.470
but it’s very intelligently done and it’s got

00:10:32.470 –> 00:10:35.649
a wide appeal to it, both critically and just

00:10:35.649 –> 00:10:38.169
from the kids that it’s aimed at. And I think

00:10:38.169 –> 00:10:40.090
it’s also one of those that kind of has a dual

00:10:40.090 –> 00:10:41.769
thing where it’s both good for the kids and the

00:10:41.769 –> 00:10:44.070
adults that are watching it. So I would probably

00:10:44.070 –> 00:10:46.809
be voting for Bluey. I know Adventure Time probably

00:10:46.809 –> 00:10:49.710
has the biggest reputation on the group, but

00:10:49.710 –> 00:10:51.509
like I said, I just haven’t seen it yet. So Mike,

00:10:51.590 –> 00:10:55.710
what are your thoughts on this set of five? I’ve

00:10:55.710 –> 00:11:02.690
seen snippets, clips. Sometimes I’ve seen a little

00:11:02.690 –> 00:11:05.669
bit longer than a clip of Adventure Time. I know

00:11:05.669 –> 00:11:08.009
about Finn. I know about Jake. I know about the

00:11:08.009 –> 00:11:15.320
Ice King. It’s not my favorite style of animation.

00:11:15.600 –> 00:11:18.080
I’ve heard about Attack on Titan. I’ve never

00:11:18.080 –> 00:11:26.919
seen it. Disney and their animated series after

00:11:26.919 –> 00:11:31.179
the fact of a film. I stopped doing that after

00:11:31.179 –> 00:11:34.220
Lilo and Stitch. Not because Lilo and Stitch,

00:11:34.320 –> 00:11:36.820
the animated series is bad, but just because

00:11:36.820 –> 00:11:40.379
that’s when I stopped doing it. I just stopped

00:11:40.379 –> 00:11:45.600
paying attention to that. I saw Big Hero 6. It

00:11:45.600 –> 00:11:48.139
was a good enough movie. Did I think the movie

00:11:48.139 –> 00:11:51.980
warranted its own animated series? No, so I’ve

00:11:51.980 –> 00:11:55.659
never actually seen that. Bluey’s out of my age

00:11:55.659 –> 00:11:59.019
range. I don’t have children, so it’s not really

00:11:59.019 –> 00:12:07.399
my thing. And Bob’s Burgers is… Again, that’s

00:12:07.399 –> 00:12:10.639
one where I will have to give it the five -episode

00:12:10.639 –> 00:12:15.620
chance. What I have seen of it, it reminds me

00:12:15.620 –> 00:12:18.220
so much of a different version of King of the

00:12:18.220 –> 00:12:22.600
Hill. But again, I’m willing to give it a shot.

00:12:23.360 –> 00:12:24.820
Yeah, I feel like, you know, there’s a lot of

00:12:24.820 –> 00:12:26.860
people that can put like Cleveland Show and American

00:12:26.860 –> 00:12:29.039
Dad and Family Guy in like a basket. And I feel

00:12:29.039 –> 00:12:30.559
like you can do similar things with King of the

00:12:30.559 –> 00:12:32.360
Hill and Bob’s Burgers. So that’s kind of interesting.

00:12:32.519 –> 00:12:34.120
But Steve, what’s your take on this set of five?

00:12:34.779 –> 00:12:38.220
So Adventure Time, I tried watching this, gave

00:12:38.220 –> 00:12:44.250
it a couple episodes. Hated it. I I’m sure there’s

00:12:44.250 –> 00:12:47.990
some redeemable qualities to it. I just, I didn’t,

00:12:47.990 –> 00:12:52.049
I just didn’t like it between the animation and,

00:12:52.070 –> 00:12:56.450
uh, just the whole premise of it. I didn’t care

00:12:56.450 –> 00:12:59.409
for, uh, attack on Titan. I watched a few episodes.

00:13:00.590 –> 00:13:03.629
I normally like anime, but I’ve discovered, I

00:13:03.629 –> 00:13:06.649
do not like this dark of anime, like the stuff

00:13:06.649 –> 00:13:09.610
that kind of borderlines under the horror, uh,

00:13:09.710 –> 00:13:14.909
sphere. I like more of the Inuyasha, the Dragon

00:13:14.909 –> 00:13:22.669
Ball Z, the Naruto, Yu -Gi -Oh. I’ve discovered

00:13:22.669 –> 00:13:25.129
that just by watching multiple of them recently.

00:13:25.690 –> 00:13:29.070
And this is not one that probably will land on

00:13:29.070 –> 00:13:35.549
my list either. Going over to Big Hero 6. While

00:13:35.549 –> 00:13:38.230
I think the premise is fine, I mean, I watched

00:13:38.230 –> 00:13:40.990
the movie and I liked the movie for what it was.

00:13:41.289 –> 00:13:44.710
I wasn’t a huge fan of it enough to rewatch.

00:13:45.409 –> 00:13:48.070
So while this is kind of interesting, if you

00:13:48.070 –> 00:13:51.210
want continuation of it, it’s not something that’ll

00:13:51.210 –> 00:13:56.070
probably land on my list either. And I can see

00:13:56.070 –> 00:14:01.370
where the appeal would be for for Bluey. Because

00:14:01.370 –> 00:14:03.409
it is kind of interesting in a different way.

00:14:05.540 –> 00:14:07.399
probably still not going to end up on my list,

00:14:07.639 –> 00:14:11.360
but I, I could see where the appeal would be.

00:14:11.419 –> 00:14:13.299
I mean, I can see the appeal for any of these

00:14:13.299 –> 00:14:15.700
really. I just, it’s just not, none of these

00:14:15.700 –> 00:14:19.179
are probably things that I personally would care

00:14:19.179 –> 00:14:22.580
for enough to vote for. And Bob’s burgers. I

00:14:22.580 –> 00:14:25.159
was never a, again, it’s an animation thing.

00:14:25.460 –> 00:14:27.600
And that’s, that’s kind of the thing with most

00:14:27.600 –> 00:14:30.059
of them, except for big hero six is I just didn’t

00:14:30.059 –> 00:14:33.580
care for the animation style and there. Funny

00:14:33.580 –> 00:14:36.960
enough, none of these are Nickelodeon and I didn’t

00:14:36.960 –> 00:14:42.019
like any of them. And I’ve seen bits and pieces

00:14:42.019 –> 00:14:44.740
of Bob’s Burgers over the years and it just never

00:14:44.740 –> 00:14:47.179
I mean, it wasn’t bad. I just didn’t care for

00:14:47.179 –> 00:14:50.120
it. I would have rather watched, you know, Family

00:14:50.120 –> 00:14:52.960
Guy or, you know, South Park or The Simpsons

00:14:52.960 –> 00:14:56.320
compared to this. So it is what it is. So none

00:14:56.320 –> 00:14:59.429
of these would probably end up on my list. All

00:14:59.429 –> 00:15:01.210
right. If you disagree with our takes on any

00:15:01.210 –> 00:15:02.870
of those, feel free to comment on the episode

00:15:02.870 –> 00:15:05.509
or hit us up on all the various social media.

00:15:05.990 –> 00:15:07.809
All right. Let’s see what the next set of five

00:15:07.809 –> 00:15:10.929
holds for us. For a lot of people, life is just

00:15:10.929 –> 00:15:13.669
one long hard kick in the urethra. Sometimes

00:15:13.669 –> 00:15:15.649
when you get home from a long day of getting

00:15:15.649 –> 00:15:17.450
kicked in the urethra, you just want to watch

00:15:17.450 –> 00:15:20.210
a show about good, likable people who love each

00:15:20.210 –> 00:15:26.289
other. Yes. Goku’s done it, hasn’t he? He’s finally

00:15:26.289 –> 00:15:35.320
achieved it. Yes. It’s astounding. This mortal

00:15:35.320 –> 00:15:40.019
really is something else. Look at that brilliant

00:15:40.019 –> 00:15:44.279
form. There can be no doubt. This is the true

00:15:44.279 –> 00:15:50.980
power, complete in all its majesty. This is Autonomous

00:15:50.980 –> 00:15:56.490
Ultra Instinct. Hey, well, it certainly lives

00:15:56.490 –> 00:15:59.309
up to the hype. Astrid, what are you doing? What

00:15:59.309 –> 00:16:01.809
do you think I’m doing? Defending Brooke and

00:16:01.809 –> 00:16:08.049
my family honor. We’ll see who’s a coward. Good

00:16:08.049 –> 00:16:13.889
morning, Uncle Donald. You can’t wear this to

00:16:13.889 –> 00:16:21.769
your job interview. Navigate this demanding warp

00:16:21.769 –> 00:16:26.049
speed world. We can all use a helping hand. But

00:16:26.049 –> 00:16:31.570
how do you know who to trust? One company cares

00:16:31.570 –> 00:16:35.309
for every man, woman, and child on our planet.

00:16:36.629 –> 00:16:42.210
Cobra Industries. Now you know. And knowing is

00:16:42.210 –> 00:16:46.669
half the battle. Right. We have one that if you

00:16:46.669 –> 00:16:51.629
do any type of research on lines, a lot of it

00:16:51.629 –> 00:16:53.789
says that this is one of the apparently best

00:16:53.789 –> 00:16:56.830
animated series of all time. I don’t know if

00:16:56.830 –> 00:16:58.830
I agree yet with that or not, but the first one

00:16:58.830 –> 00:17:02.889
on this group is Bojack Horseman from 2014. Another

00:17:02.889 –> 00:17:06.430
one of those kind of more adult primetime comedy

00:17:06.430 –> 00:17:11.529
animated shows. We have Dragon Ball Super, one

00:17:11.529 –> 00:17:15.109
of the newer re… inventions, reboots, Steve

00:17:15.109 –> 00:17:17.349
will give me the right term eventually, of that

00:17:17.349 –> 00:17:19.349
franchise. And we’ve obviously seen a few of

00:17:19.349 –> 00:17:21.190
those come up in the previous nomination list.

00:17:21.549 –> 00:17:24.190
We have DreamWorks Dragons. This is the How to

00:17:24.190 –> 00:17:27.430
Train Your Dragons animated series, which has

00:17:27.430 –> 00:17:30.650
spawned off numerous kind of versions and spinoffs

00:17:30.650 –> 00:17:33.029
and different things of that nature. We have

00:17:33.029 –> 00:17:36.769
the reboot of the original DuckTales, which came

00:17:36.769 –> 00:17:42.009
out in 2017. And we have G .I. Joe Renegades.

00:17:42.009 –> 00:17:44.329
So interesting thing about this one is we have

00:17:44.329 –> 00:17:48.809
three of them that are new chapters in franchises

00:17:48.809 –> 00:17:51.329
that we already knew about. Or I guess you could

00:17:51.329 –> 00:17:54.230
say four of them. One of them is more of a new

00:17:54.230 –> 00:17:56.549
chapter from an animated movie world with the

00:17:56.549 –> 00:17:58.950
DreamWorks Dragons. But Dragon Ball Super, DuckTales,

00:17:58.950 –> 00:18:01.650
and G .I. Joe Renegades, all a continuation or

00:18:01.650 –> 00:18:04.890
a new chapter in those franchises that we’ve

00:18:04.890 –> 00:18:06.690
seen come before it. And then Bojack Horseman

00:18:06.690 –> 00:18:10.019
obviously is something. fairly new and unique

00:18:10.019 –> 00:18:14.680
for what it was i will say bojack horseman i’ve

00:18:14.680 –> 00:18:17.700
watched one episode so i haven’t done the the

00:18:17.700 –> 00:18:20.019
rule five for a lot of these but i’ve seen i

00:18:20.019 –> 00:18:21.779
wanted to see at least one episode going into

00:18:21.779 –> 00:18:24.380
this record of a handful of these so i did watch

00:18:24.380 –> 00:18:26.980
one episode and it is interesting it’s almost

00:18:26.980 –> 00:18:31.039
like the it’s almost like charles in charge blended

00:18:31.039 –> 00:18:38.769
in with like an adult swim flavor and then blend

00:18:38.769 –> 00:18:45.150
it in with like a family guy slash you know beaturama

00:18:45.150 –> 00:18:47.329
simpsons type thing so it’s kind of interesting

00:18:47.329 –> 00:18:50.049
um it does tackle from what i’ve read a lot of

00:18:50.049 –> 00:18:55.809
mature or deep concepts like it deals with i

00:18:55.809 –> 00:18:58.410
don’t know like depression or different things

00:18:58.410 –> 00:19:00.990
that you know adults may be able to relate to

00:19:00.990 –> 00:19:03.890
and and this Bojack Horseman is the lead guy,

00:19:03.950 –> 00:19:06.049
even though he’s a horse. But he’s definitely

00:19:06.049 –> 00:19:08.690
like the first episode feels exactly like Charles

00:19:08.690 –> 00:19:12.069
in Charge, but he’s Charles. I was entertained

00:19:12.069 –> 00:19:13.809
enough by the first episode that I’m going to

00:19:13.809 –> 00:19:16.690
give it the other four episodes of viewing before

00:19:16.690 –> 00:19:19.069
I cast my final vote. So I’m intrigued by it.

00:19:19.130 –> 00:19:22.269
I just haven’t seen enough of it. I have not

00:19:22.269 –> 00:19:25.250
seen enough Dragon Ball Super to make a statement,

00:19:25.289 –> 00:19:27.490
but I know Steve will back me up on the knowledge

00:19:27.490 –> 00:19:30.849
base for that one when he gets a turn here. dreamworks

00:19:30.849 –> 00:19:35.829
dragons my daughter is obsessed with and i will

00:19:35.829 –> 00:19:40.789
say it’s a fairly well done animated series version

00:19:40.789 –> 00:19:44.109
of what was an animated movie first so i’m not

00:19:44.109 –> 00:19:46.210
a big fan like mike said when disney does that

00:19:46.210 –> 00:19:48.769
a lot of the times but i feel like in this situation

00:19:48.769 –> 00:19:51.190
with dreamworks they did a fairly good job continuing

00:19:51.190 –> 00:19:53.109
this story and giving us lots of different stuff

00:19:53.109 –> 00:19:55.690
to look at with the dragon so i think that one

00:19:55.690 –> 00:20:00.680
is growing on me i do think that the 2017 version

00:20:00.680 –> 00:20:04.759
of DuckTales was well done. I think that is deserving

00:20:04.759 –> 00:20:08.240
of being in the conversation, whether it gets

00:20:08.240 –> 00:20:11.579
in or not. G .I. Joe Renegades, to me, if it

00:20:11.579 –> 00:20:13.920
would have gotten the proper treatment and been

00:20:13.920 –> 00:20:16.640
able to finish or last a little bit longer, I

00:20:16.640 –> 00:20:18.779
would be way higher on it. I really loved what

00:20:18.779 –> 00:20:23.259
we got. I just feel like it was one of those

00:20:23.259 –> 00:20:26.859
that just didn’t get to finish it which i think

00:20:26.859 –> 00:20:28.640
if it would have finished it would have been

00:20:28.640 –> 00:20:31.680
much more solid in my thoughts here so i’m leaning

00:20:31.680 –> 00:20:35.559
towards potentially i could see all five of these

00:20:35.559 –> 00:20:37.900
getting a vote so i i don’t know how it’ll come

00:20:37.900 –> 00:20:39.599
down to it’s probably going to be a game of numbers

00:20:39.599 –> 00:20:42.099
with with how many slots do i have left steve

00:20:42.099 –> 00:20:44.400
what do you think of this set of five so i have

00:20:44.400 –> 00:20:47.200
not checked out bojack horseman yet i’ll actually

00:20:47.200 –> 00:20:50.180
probably do that after we record just based on

00:20:50.180 –> 00:20:54.829
that plus i see will arnett’s in it which I like

00:20:54.829 –> 00:20:57.509
his stuff generally. So I’ll give it a shot,

00:20:57.589 –> 00:20:59.990
even though just from the images, it looks ridiculous.

00:21:01.710 –> 00:21:04.869
Just talking horses. I don’t love the animation

00:21:04.869 –> 00:21:08.069
just based on the graphics, but I love it better

00:21:08.069 –> 00:21:12.089
than the Cal Arts. So I’ll definitely give it

00:21:12.089 –> 00:21:14.710
a shot. Plus, it’s a Netflix thing. And like

00:21:14.710 –> 00:21:17.029
I said, Will Arnett. So I’ll give that a shot.

00:21:17.630 –> 00:21:20.390
Dragon Ball Super is actually a show that came

00:21:20.390 –> 00:21:23.859
out in 2015, which… It was like 18 years after

00:21:23.859 –> 00:21:26.799
Dragon Ball Z ended and it actually picks up

00:21:26.799 –> 00:21:31.480
from the end of Dragon Ball Z. So it’s two seasons,

00:21:31.539 –> 00:21:36.299
131 episodes. They, of course, bring in more

00:21:36.299 –> 00:21:39.759
new transformations, new characters, some that

00:21:39.759 –> 00:21:42.039
were in the past get sidelined, some don’t. So

00:21:42.039 –> 00:21:46.319
it’s a continuous power escalation in this. Goku

00:21:46.319 –> 00:21:52.259
definitely loses some of his. uh some of the

00:21:52.259 –> 00:21:54.339
the mannerisms that he had in dragon ball z like

00:21:54.339 –> 00:21:59.319
he’s he’s more goofy in a sense like he’s just

00:21:59.319 –> 00:22:02.119
there’s more goofy stuff going on like even some

00:22:02.119 –> 00:22:04.740
stuff with vegeta as he mellows out like there’s

00:22:04.740 –> 00:22:07.980
there’s more goofy aspects that kind of come

00:22:07.980 –> 00:22:09.339
into play and then there’s some things that are

00:22:09.339 –> 00:22:11.079
you know they start getting into like god tier

00:22:11.079 –> 00:22:15.119
uh deities in the show and that they’re fighting

00:22:15.119 –> 00:22:18.980
and training with and other universes and things

00:22:18.980 –> 00:22:21.900
like that and more power -ups between all the

00:22:21.900 –> 00:22:24.380
different characters. And it’s currently in limbo

00:22:24.380 –> 00:22:28.960
and possibly coming back next year with the fact

00:22:28.960 –> 00:22:31.319
that Akira Toriyama, the guy that created Dragon

00:22:31.319 –> 00:22:37.519
Ball and Z and Super and had passed away last

00:22:37.519 –> 00:22:42.000
year, late 2024. So it threw his whole estate

00:22:42.000 –> 00:22:44.920
into kind of disarray. So they’ve been sorting

00:22:44.920 –> 00:22:48.880
it out for the last year after Dyma ended. Should

00:22:48.880 –> 00:22:50.539
have new stuff coming out next year. But yeah,

00:22:50.640 –> 00:22:53.980
it’s I love it just from the sake that it continues

00:22:53.980 –> 00:22:57.140
the story. It’s gives new toys. It gives new

00:22:57.140 –> 00:23:00.960
new story, new transformations. And of course,

00:23:00.960 –> 00:23:03.900
continued with the same voice actor. So that

00:23:03.900 –> 00:23:06.619
one will definitely be on my list. Dreamworks

00:23:06.619 –> 00:23:11.099
Dragons. I haven’t watched the animated series.

00:23:11.180 –> 00:23:14.900
I’ve seen all the movies, though, and I liked

00:23:14.900 –> 00:23:20.259
all of the movies pretty well. A lot of the DreamWorks

00:23:20.259 –> 00:23:23.559
films, honestly, I’ve kind of enjoyed over the

00:23:23.559 –> 00:23:27.339
years, more so than some of the more recent Disney

00:23:27.339 –> 00:23:33.680
stuff outside of Pixar. And so this I’ll probably

00:23:33.680 –> 00:23:37.240
give a shot. I can see it having a place on a

00:23:37.240 –> 00:23:44.319
list, though. DuckTales, for me, having only…

00:23:44.319 –> 00:23:46.460
I mean, I’ve seen bits and pieces of this one.

00:23:46.960 –> 00:23:48.720
I don’t have any ill will on it. It does look

00:23:48.720 –> 00:23:50.920
more simple than the original in a lot of ways

00:23:50.920 –> 00:23:56.119
between color and aesthetics, but it’s not bad.

00:23:56.779 –> 00:24:00.480
And it did manage to go on over 100 episodes,

00:24:00.559 –> 00:24:02.380
so obviously they did something right with it.

00:24:03.440 –> 00:24:08.839
Yep. And if I had to choose between two that

00:24:08.839 –> 00:24:11.640
look… pretty much identical. Like one’s a reboot

00:24:11.640 –> 00:24:13.380
and one’s, you know, the original, I’m going

00:24:13.380 –> 00:24:15.519
to go with the original over this, but I could

00:24:15.519 –> 00:24:19.920
see this one being that for the newer generations.

00:24:21.460 –> 00:24:24.640
Uh, and then getting into GI Joe renegades. I

00:24:24.640 –> 00:24:27.480
enjoyed it for what it was at the time. Uh, never,

00:24:27.559 –> 00:24:32.099
I never enjoyed Cobra commander in this one with

00:24:32.099 –> 00:24:34.259
the half face plate, you know, the almost Castro

00:24:34.259 –> 00:24:37.690
thing. I hated that aspect of it, but I liked

00:24:37.690 –> 00:24:40.150
the, the newer, the newer take. And it definitely

00:24:40.150 –> 00:24:44.730
fit that early. It looked more like it belonged

00:24:44.730 –> 00:24:46.950
in the late nineties, early two thousands animation,

00:24:47.069 –> 00:24:49.809
like just the aesthetics, like it kind of had

00:24:49.809 –> 00:24:51.549
that men in black or the, the, you know, the

00:24:51.549 –> 00:24:54.789
Godzilla or, you know, that, that look to it.

00:24:55.650 –> 00:24:59.650
And again, I agreed, like, I’m sad that it ended

00:24:59.650 –> 00:25:03.640
as quickly as it did. It only got one season,

00:25:03.839 –> 00:25:07.180
didn’t it? Yeah, sadly. I mean, you had Jason

00:25:07.180 –> 00:25:10.579
Marsden, Kevin Michael Richardson, Charlie Adler.

00:25:11.119 –> 00:25:16.059
You know, you had David Kaye. So, I mean, there

00:25:16.059 –> 00:25:21.940
were a lot of people we knew in there. And I

00:25:21.940 –> 00:25:25.099
feel like it was a good show overall. It could

00:25:25.099 –> 00:25:27.759
have used more time. But I think that was also

00:25:27.759 –> 00:25:33.500
during the whole The Hub. yep it was um during

00:25:33.500 –> 00:25:35.799
that time frame and so a lot of that kind of

00:25:35.799 –> 00:25:38.380
went down the crapper when they shut down the

00:25:38.380 –> 00:25:41.920
hub yep mike what do you think of these five

00:25:41.920 –> 00:25:46.920
i need to give bojack a good five episode shot

00:25:46.920 –> 00:25:52.720
again with the with the dreamworks dragons thing

00:25:52.720 –> 00:25:55.160
i’ve seen the first how to train your dragon

00:25:55.160 –> 00:25:57.720
that’s the only movie i’ve seen out of that entire

00:25:57.720 –> 00:26:03.009
franchise duck dales 2017 wasn’t the one with

00:26:03.009 –> 00:26:05.970
the doctor one of the doctors isn’t the doctor

00:26:05.970 –> 00:26:09.329
scrooge or something or other one of the doctors

00:26:09.329 –> 00:26:11.990
from i forget which one it is isn’t it david

00:26:11.990 –> 00:26:15.650
tenet plays the voice of dr scrooge in that i

00:26:15.650 –> 00:26:18.349
think i yeah that’s what i’m saying i think david

00:26:18.349 –> 00:26:21.150
tenet is i was so confused when you’re talking

00:26:21.150 –> 00:26:29.599
about the doctor Oh, no, no, not Ludwig von Drake.

00:26:30.240 –> 00:26:34.039
And then we were just talking about Renegades.

00:26:34.039 –> 00:26:36.460
Poor Renegades. It didn’t get the shot that it

00:26:36.460 –> 00:26:41.640
deserved. But we got Jason Marsden clips out

00:26:41.640 –> 00:26:49.079
of it. But yeah, no, I don’t know. For me, if

00:26:49.079 –> 00:26:57.500
I was, like we said, If I had both the 2017 and

00:26:57.500 –> 00:27:01.819
the 87 series on my list, 87 is going to be higher

00:27:01.819 –> 00:27:05.220
than 2017 just from what I remember. But what

00:27:05.220 –> 00:27:11.940
I remember of 2017, what it did do right is that

00:27:11.940 –> 00:27:17.279
it got the whole mystery angle. DuckTales 2017

00:27:17.279 –> 00:27:22.000
to me, what it did well is exactly what Scooby

00:27:22.000 –> 00:27:25.470
-Doo Mystery Inc. did well. It played up that

00:27:25.470 –> 00:27:29.670
mystery angle so well, and it got kids and adults

00:27:29.670 –> 00:27:34.029
back into those franchises. Because before Scooby

00:27:34.029 –> 00:27:37.089
-Doo Mystery Inc., the Cartoon Network version

00:27:37.089 –> 00:27:40.289
that Derek J. Wyatt did the art direction on,

00:27:40.490 –> 00:27:45.309
Scooby -Doo was just having Aloha adventures,

00:27:45.569 –> 00:27:49.809
and they were just doing random movies. The direct

00:27:49.809 –> 00:27:55.180
-to -video series, Scooby -Doo movies. All right.

00:27:55.279 –> 00:27:57.700
Well, let’s see what the next set of five brings

00:27:57.700 –> 00:28:02.420
us. Ah, summer break. So do you want cheese on

00:28:02.420 –> 00:28:05.880
that, hon? Sure, bye. A time for leisure, recreation,

00:28:06.259 –> 00:28:12.140
and taking her easy. Unless you’re me. What?

00:28:12.539 –> 00:28:15.819
Bloodsy, how? It’s billionaire playboy Bruce

00:28:15.819 –> 00:28:23.039
Wayne. No, no. Are you shitting me? What is wrong

00:28:23.039 –> 00:28:26.019
with you? Don’t you think I would have done that

00:28:26.019 –> 00:28:29.299
had I wanted to? Half the fun of our relationship

00:28:29.299 –> 00:28:32.180
was the mystery. Now I know Batman is just some

00:28:32.180 –> 00:28:34.980
boring rich asshole with parental issues. Wayne

00:28:34.980 –> 00:28:38.460
Tech promised an electric car by this year. I

00:28:38.460 –> 00:28:41.099
put a deposit down. Where’s my goddamn electric

00:28:41.099 –> 00:28:48.049
car, Bruce? We were supposed to be inside. I

00:28:48.049 –> 00:28:50.650
should have never trusted the flawed calculations

00:28:50.650 –> 00:28:57.890
of a clone. Clone? I’m not… This was always

00:28:57.890 –> 00:29:01.150
the plan. The president is targeting us, so we

00:29:01.150 –> 00:29:03.490
shatter the illusion of his safety. It’s not

00:29:03.490 –> 00:29:06.170
enough for us to kill him. It has to be a spectacle.

00:29:07.730 –> 00:29:11.130
You gotta be kidding me. Coffee? Don’t do that!

00:29:11.309 –> 00:29:16.240
I thought you might like coffee. It’s good. Why

00:29:16.240 –> 00:29:19.079
are you showing me your teeth? What is that?

00:29:19.339 –> 00:29:21.079
You’re going to need that coffee after I get

00:29:21.079 –> 00:29:24.700
through with you. Donut. Get that away from me.

00:29:24.740 –> 00:29:28.960
Is it poison? It’s chocolate. I’ll talk. I’ll

00:29:28.960 –> 00:29:30.960
talk. I’ll tell you everything. Just get him

00:29:30.960 –> 00:29:36.079
out of here. Cried sowbugs? Tastes like stale

00:29:36.079 –> 00:29:40.839
moths. Got any more? Whoa, whoa, wait, G. Cannonball!

00:29:45.799 –> 00:29:47.779
All right, starting this one off, another super

00:29:47.779 –> 00:29:52.500
popular one, I believe, in the pop culture realm

00:29:52.500 –> 00:29:56.759
is Gravity Falls from 2012. It was on four of

00:29:56.759 –> 00:29:59.140
the nine lists that we looked at, which was difficult

00:29:59.140 –> 00:30:00.920
for a lot of these because some of the lists

00:30:00.920 –> 00:30:04.140
didn’t go this current. So if it appeared on

00:30:04.140 –> 00:30:06.539
any of those lists, it probably has at least

00:30:06.539 –> 00:30:09.059
some credence to it. We have Harley Quinn from

00:30:09.059 –> 00:30:11.720
2019. That appeared on two of the lists we looked

00:30:11.720 –> 00:30:14.079
at actually as well. We have the fairly new one.

00:30:14.099 –> 00:30:16.559
I think this is the first one we’ve talked about.

00:30:17.319 –> 00:30:19.700
Steve, you said Dragon Ball Super was from what

00:30:19.700 –> 00:30:22.960
year? 2015? Yes. Okay, so this is going to be

00:30:22.960 –> 00:30:26.619
the first of our shows that actually debuted

00:30:26.619 –> 00:30:30.900
after 2020. So we have from 2021, we have Invincible,

00:30:31.079 –> 00:30:36.880
which is the superhero adult mature take. J .K.

00:30:36.920 –> 00:30:41.119
Simmons and a lot of other folks involved in

00:30:41.119 –> 00:30:44.900
this one. Definitely a very popular modern cartoon.

00:30:45.200 –> 00:30:47.579
We have, well, this is kind of interesting. We

00:30:47.579 –> 00:30:49.220
had Harley Quinn, we have Invincible, and we

00:30:49.220 –> 00:30:52.059
have Justice League Action from 2016. So we’re

00:30:52.059 –> 00:30:55.539
going to get a trio of comic book related series

00:30:55.539 –> 00:30:58.640
here as well. And then we have Kulapari and the

00:30:58.640 –> 00:31:03.119
Army of Frogs, also from 2016. I’ll let somebody

00:31:03.119 –> 00:31:05.099
else go first on this one. Mike, how about your

00:31:05.099 –> 00:31:08.319
take on Gravity Falls, Harley Quinn, Invincible,

00:31:08.480 –> 00:31:11.720
Justice League Action, and Kulapari Army of Frogs?

00:31:11.839 –> 00:31:16.819
frogs never heard of kulapari army of frogs so

00:31:16.819 –> 00:31:22.359
i’m gonna have to look that one up and uh lucky

00:31:22.359 –> 00:31:24.460
luckily i have seen all of that one so i can

00:31:24.460 –> 00:31:27.619
fill in the gaps on that one okay good because

00:31:27.619 –> 00:31:31.599
never heard of that uh gravity falls i avoided

00:31:31.599 –> 00:31:36.519
like the plague for the longest time Just because

00:31:36.519 –> 00:31:41.160
I don’t do the spooky, I don’t do the scary,

00:31:41.359 –> 00:31:47.720
I don’t do the Mulder and Scully type stuff,

00:31:47.920 –> 00:31:52.759
the conspiracy X -Files type stuff. And even

00:31:52.759 –> 00:31:56.000
though Dipper and Mabel Pines are brother and

00:31:56.000 –> 00:32:01.819
sister, they’re basically… mini versions of

00:32:01.819 –> 00:32:06.259
Mulder and Scully kind of things to me. I eventually

00:32:06.259 –> 00:32:09.079
did come around to it, and I watched a couple

00:32:09.079 –> 00:32:13.160
of episodes here and there. It was never my favorite

00:32:13.160 –> 00:32:16.799
because it wasn’t X’s favorite thing. She was

00:32:16.799 –> 00:32:21.619
obsessed with it. Nope. I ain’t going on that

00:32:21.619 –> 00:32:27.740
California adventure again. But it does deserve

00:32:27.740 –> 00:32:31.819
a spot, I think, for that. hype for the type

00:32:31.819 –> 00:32:34.960
of cartoon it is there is no there’s nothing

00:32:34.960 –> 00:32:39.940
like like the only thing that cartoon is missing

00:32:39.940 –> 00:32:44.740
is a great dane but it it’s not a it takes spooky

00:32:44.740 –> 00:32:50.099
without the kooky kind of thing like it’s very

00:32:50.099 –> 00:32:53.799
it’s kind of like what if the goonies had an

00:32:53.799 –> 00:32:58.279
animated series But it’s set in modern times.

00:32:58.339 –> 00:33:01.900
At least that’s just what I can remember off

00:33:01.900 –> 00:33:03.640
the top of my head. At least that’s what I think

00:33:03.640 –> 00:33:09.319
of it as. And it was very good. I enjoyed what

00:33:09.319 –> 00:33:11.700
I saw of it. Would I ever watch it again? No,

00:33:11.700 –> 00:33:14.039
probably not. Do I think it deserves a spot?

00:33:14.680 –> 00:33:20.359
Yeah, because it’s probably one of the only Halloween

00:33:20.359 –> 00:33:24.039
type. I don’t want to say Halloween, but Halloween

00:33:24.039 –> 00:33:31.839
just passed. It’s one of the only modern conspiracy

00:33:31.839 –> 00:33:37.960
spooky cartoons out there that is not Scooby

00:33:37.960 –> 00:33:41.920
-Doo or a version of Scooby -Doo. Harley Quinn,

00:33:42.039 –> 00:33:43.700
I’ve heard nothing but good things, but I’ve

00:33:43.700 –> 00:33:46.779
never actually sat down to watch it. I’ve seen

00:33:46.779 –> 00:33:50.400
like one or two episodes of it, I think. Again,

00:33:50.519 –> 00:33:53.220
without… Looking it up, if I remember correctly,

00:33:53.500 –> 00:33:55.900
Diedrich Bader does the voice of Batman in that.

00:33:56.059 –> 00:34:01.059
Yep. Okay, that’s what I thought. Invincible.

00:34:01.180 –> 00:34:08.559
Penny is Harley Quinn. Yeah. What’s that? Haley

00:34:08.559 –> 00:34:13.420
Kowalko. Yep. We already talked about Invincible.

00:34:14.079 –> 00:34:16.380
I know of the comic book. I think I’ve seen like

00:34:16.380 –> 00:34:19.000
three panels of the comic book. I need to check

00:34:19.000 –> 00:34:21.960
out the comic book. I know everyone’s probably

00:34:21.960 –> 00:34:23.460
going to say in the comics, you don’t need to

00:34:23.460 –> 00:34:26.059
read the comic to understand the animated series.

00:34:26.519 –> 00:34:29.699
I like reading where the origins of stuff came

00:34:29.699 –> 00:34:32.360
first. I like reading the original source material

00:34:32.360 –> 00:34:37.579
first before I dive into whatever they started

00:34:37.579 –> 00:34:43.280
second kind of thing. I’ve already talked about

00:34:43.280 –> 00:34:49.360
it already. Justice League action is. It’s such

00:34:49.360 –> 00:34:54.480
a comedic genius version of Justice League. You

00:34:54.480 –> 00:34:57.739
have, I think it’s George Newbern. I basically

00:34:57.739 –> 00:35:00.199
think it’s the Justice League and Justice League

00:35:00.199 –> 00:35:03.519
Unlimited cast reunited. So it’s George Newbern

00:35:03.519 –> 00:35:06.699
is Superman. Susan Eisenberg is Wonder Woman.

00:35:06.800 –> 00:35:10.530
Kevin Conroy is Batman. uh reunited i don’t know

00:35:10.530 –> 00:35:13.590
how many other characters are how many other

00:35:13.590 –> 00:35:15.989
voice actors as the original characters from

00:35:15.989 –> 00:35:19.329
the original dc animated universe shows are reunited

00:35:19.329 –> 00:35:22.829
in that but i know at least the trinity are um

00:35:22.829 –> 00:35:28.329
but yeah so yeah good list for secondary all

00:35:28.329 –> 00:35:32.150
right all right uh for gravity falls for me that’s

00:35:32.150 –> 00:35:34.530
on my to -do list of stuff i need to watch because

00:35:34.530 –> 00:35:36.860
i’ve seen little clips when i’ve been grabbing

00:35:36.860 –> 00:35:38.980
images or sound clips or whatever, but I’ve never

00:35:38.980 –> 00:35:41.900
actually sat down to watch the episodes to see

00:35:41.900 –> 00:35:44.460
what they’re like, so I need to do that. As most

00:35:44.460 –> 00:35:46.420
people know that have heard anything that we’ve

00:35:46.420 –> 00:35:49.079
ever done, most of the Marvel and DC stuff is

00:35:49.079 –> 00:35:51.840
on my blind list, blind spots, so I have not

00:35:51.840 –> 00:35:54.039
seen Harley Quinn or Justice League action at

00:35:54.039 –> 00:35:57.239
all either. I have seen one episode of Invincible,

00:35:57.360 –> 00:36:02.539
and I do think that that is an interesting show

00:36:02.539 –> 00:36:05.590
that I am willing to watch some more of. I will

00:36:05.590 –> 00:36:10.550
say that I I’m fine with like the animation style.

00:36:10.949 –> 00:36:13.630
They got some, you know, obviously legit voices.

00:36:13.710 –> 00:36:16.449
JK Simmons is one of the main characters there.

00:36:17.170 –> 00:36:20.309
The first episode is just like moving right along.

00:36:20.489 –> 00:36:22.349
And there’s a lot of tie -ins where you’re like,

00:36:22.409 –> 00:36:26.070
okay, this is definitely like a spoof on some

00:36:26.070 –> 00:36:28.130
other things that you would see like in Marvel

00:36:28.130 –> 00:36:31.829
or DC. There’s like a character that’s clearly

00:36:31.829 –> 00:36:35.159
like the flash. And then there’s like a, They’re

00:36:35.159 –> 00:36:36.639
not the guardians of the galaxy, but they’re

00:36:36.639 –> 00:36:38.960
the guardians of the globe. And like, there’s

00:36:38.960 –> 00:36:40.980
a lot of things that are interesting. And then

00:36:40.980 –> 00:36:43.199
at the end of the episode, the first episode,

00:36:43.239 –> 00:36:48.420
everything takes a crazy turn. And I’m interested

00:36:48.420 –> 00:36:50.699
to see where they go from there. So it’s definitely,

00:36:50.780 –> 00:36:56.420
I would say rated M, but not like. I think just

00:36:56.420 –> 00:36:58.519
because of a little bit extra violence and the,

00:36:58.619 –> 00:37:01.519
I believe they swear a few times. Invincible

00:37:01.519 –> 00:37:06.820
is not for kids. Invincible is for adults. Right?

00:37:06.900 –> 00:37:08.260
No, I’m just saying, but like there’s different,

00:37:08.300 –> 00:37:10.800
different ratings that make something forward.

00:37:11.179 –> 00:37:13.900
for adults and like i know some people are you

00:37:13.900 –> 00:37:15.780
know it’s not like a i haven’t seen anything

00:37:15.780 –> 00:37:17.579
that’s like sexualized or anything like that

00:37:17.579 –> 00:37:19.360
is what i’m saying it’s more like a from a violence

00:37:19.360 –> 00:37:21.940
and from a vulgarity standpoint but again that’s

00:37:21.940 –> 00:37:24.980
on that’s based on one episode um but i’m definitely

00:37:24.980 –> 00:37:29.650
intrigued to watch some more of it kulapari An

00:37:29.650 –> 00:37:33.949
Army of Frogs is, like I said, from 2016. So

00:37:33.949 –> 00:37:36.590
basically it’s about a hidden village of frogs,

00:37:36.789 –> 00:37:40.110
and they are protected by this magical veil and

00:37:40.110 –> 00:37:42.449
an elite group of poison frogs, which are called

00:37:42.449 –> 00:37:46.250
the Kulapari. And they have their homeland threatened

00:37:46.250 –> 00:37:48.809
by an army of scorpions and a magical, powerful

00:37:48.809 –> 00:37:52.610
spider queen. And it centers around a character

00:37:52.610 –> 00:37:55.269
named Daryl, who’s a young frog who wants to

00:37:55.269 –> 00:37:56.889
be Kulapari, but he doesn’t have any poison.

00:37:57.519 –> 00:38:01.420
So it’s kind of his journey and it’s got a amazing

00:38:01.420 –> 00:38:05.840
voice cast. So Daryl is voiced by Josh Keaton,

00:38:06.059 –> 00:38:09.880
Mikey Kelly, Phil Lamar, Lacey Chabert, Keith

00:38:09.880 –> 00:38:13.639
David, Charlie Adler, Jess Harnell, Candy Milo,

00:38:13.659 –> 00:38:15.699
Cree Summer, Kevin Michael Richardson, Cass Soucy.

00:38:15.860 –> 00:38:21.739
And then the great Mark Hamill actually voices,

00:38:21.800 –> 00:38:25.119
I think, three characters in this, including

00:38:25.119 –> 00:38:28.980
like an old wise. individual and I just think

00:38:28.980 –> 00:38:31.420
it’s well done I watched all of it when it first

00:38:31.420 –> 00:38:33.619
came out on Netflix I shouldn’t say I’ve watched

00:38:33.619 –> 00:38:35.400
all of it I maybe I’ve only seen the first two

00:38:35.400 –> 00:38:37.219
seasons I did not realize there was a third season

00:38:37.219 –> 00:38:39.840
that was on Hulu so I believe I’ve just seen

00:38:39.840 –> 00:38:42.460
the first two seasons of Netflix and to me I

00:38:42.460 –> 00:38:43.900
know a lot of people aren’t going to be familiar

00:38:43.900 –> 00:38:46.300
with this one so it doesn’t have a super great

00:38:46.300 –> 00:38:48.380
chance of probably making our countdown but I

00:38:48.380 –> 00:38:51.820
do think it’s like a an underrated kind of hidden

00:38:51.820 –> 00:38:55.260
gem that if you’re looking for something else

00:38:55.260 –> 00:38:58.639
to watch that you haven’t seen yet like i would

00:38:58.639 –> 00:39:00.579
give this one a shot because i thought it was

00:39:00.579 –> 00:39:02.480
uh somewhat entertaining steve what do you think

00:39:02.480 –> 00:39:07.880
of this set of five so gravity falls not a fan

00:39:07.880 –> 00:39:14.219
again boils down to animation style my kids i’m

00:39:14.219 –> 00:39:19.659
sure like it i don’t uh just not a not a fan

00:39:19.659 –> 00:39:22.840
of it I have seen bits and pieces of that. Don’t

00:39:22.840 –> 00:39:27.559
care for it. Harley Quinn. I’ve seen chunks here

00:39:27.559 –> 00:39:30.059
or there of it based on certain episode topics

00:39:30.059 –> 00:39:32.579
that I’ve sought out just based on what it’s

00:39:32.579 –> 00:39:38.219
doing. It’s an original take, and it’s pretty

00:39:38.219 –> 00:39:43.400
interesting. You also get. Diedrich Bader, you

00:39:43.400 –> 00:39:47.599
know, coming back is. Batman here, which he was

00:39:47.599 –> 00:39:52.230
in the brave and the bold. I don’t know. It was

00:39:52.230 –> 00:39:55.369
a different take and it was interesting and kind

00:39:55.369 –> 00:39:58.030
of played more with the psychology part too in

00:39:58.030 –> 00:40:01.349
some of the sections of it. I can see giving

00:40:01.349 –> 00:40:07.510
it more acclaim and watching. Invincible, I’ve

00:40:07.510 –> 00:40:12.349
not seen it. I’ve just seen memes from it. So

00:40:12.349 –> 00:40:15.550
I don’t know too much about it. I know J .K.

00:40:15.650 –> 00:40:19.750
Simmons is in it. And Mark Hamill and people

00:40:19.750 –> 00:40:23.690
like that. So I’ll probably be giving this one

00:40:23.690 –> 00:40:27.510
a good watch just to see whether it’s something

00:40:27.510 –> 00:40:32.630
I want to add to my list or not. Justice League

00:40:32.630 –> 00:40:37.949
action. I like it as well. Similar to Mike in

00:40:37.949 –> 00:40:40.530
that scenario, but there’s a lot of different

00:40:40.530 –> 00:40:45.909
comedy aspects with it. You also get. kevin conroy

00:40:45.909 –> 00:40:51.429
coming back as batman bruce wayne and you get

00:40:51.429 –> 00:40:55.849
dietrich bader as booster gold you get john dimaggio

00:40:55.849 –> 00:40:59.409
as lobo you get mark hamill as the joker and

00:40:59.409 –> 00:41:01.530
the trickster two characters he’s played in the

00:41:01.530 –> 00:41:05.769
past as well uh oh that no you get you get that

00:41:05.769 –> 00:41:08.949
whole car scene yeah well he plays swamp thing

00:41:08.949 –> 00:41:14.550
too yeah i know i know yeah no um saying this

00:41:14.550 –> 00:41:19.230
for kevin kevin doesn’t really kevin like there’s

00:41:19.230 –> 00:41:21.530
literally like a five minute episode he talks

00:41:21.530 –> 00:41:24.829
to himself yeah the whole scene is is swamp thing

00:41:24.829 –> 00:41:30.030
joker brickster and then mark hamill is driving

00:41:30.030 –> 00:41:37.150
and then mark hamill as as the voice actor all

00:41:37.150 –> 00:41:41.210
right uses his voice acting and tricks all the

00:41:41.210 –> 00:41:44.710
other characters By talking like the other ones

00:41:44.710 –> 00:41:49.510
and making them beat each other up. And David

00:41:49.510 –> 00:41:54.090
Soboloff is Gorilla Grodd reprising from The

00:41:54.090 –> 00:41:58.789
Flash. So yeah, that show, I enjoyed it for what

00:41:58.789 –> 00:42:02.829
it was. Hula Pari, I’d never heard of. It kind

00:42:02.829 –> 00:42:05.369
of reminds me of a Netflix version of Ninja Turtles.

00:42:05.980 –> 00:42:09.320
When he was describing it, my first thought was,

00:42:09.500 –> 00:42:11.539
because you didn’t say this part of it, but when

00:42:11.539 –> 00:42:15.480
you were describing it, I’m like, oh, okay, so

00:42:15.480 –> 00:42:19.699
poisonous frogs versus evil pigs. And I bet the

00:42:19.699 –> 00:42:23.440
lead poisonous frog’s name is Kermit, and the

00:42:23.440 –> 00:42:28.579
lead evil pig, his name is Biggie. Uh -huh. Kermit

00:42:28.579 –> 00:42:32.079
the Frog here, and I’m leading an army of frogs.

00:42:34.010 –> 00:42:40.650
Yep. That’s right. Ain’t that the truth. Alright.

00:42:41.329 –> 00:43:03.900
Let’s take a look at what comes next. What are

00:43:03.900 –> 00:43:11.119
you listening to? Maybe someone is coming. Diamonds.

00:43:11.400 –> 00:43:36.659
Diamonds. To wreak havoc. This is Garbo. Have

00:43:36.659 –> 00:43:38.320
you noticed how often you lose your bets with

00:43:38.320 –> 00:43:40.739
yourself? If I were keeping track, I believe

00:43:40.739 –> 00:43:43.699
you’d owe yourself $15 million. Don’t worry,

00:43:43.739 –> 00:43:46.760
Jarvis. I’m good for every digital penny. You

00:43:46.760 –> 00:43:50.579
could just contact them, sir. No. We broke up

00:43:50.579 –> 00:43:52.460
the band for a reason, and like I predicted,

00:43:52.679 –> 00:43:54.800
Earth is doing just fine without the Avengers.

00:43:55.780 –> 00:44:27.090
It’s just that… Alright, next up, I’m hoping

00:44:27.090 –> 00:44:28.590
that you guys have seen some of these, because

00:44:28.590 –> 00:44:30.960
I’ve only seen one of them, so… We have five

00:44:30.960 –> 00:44:34.639
shows in this block led off by Kung Fu Panda,

00:44:34.960 –> 00:44:39.340
Legends of Awesomeness from 2011. It’s won at

00:44:39.340 –> 00:44:41.599
least seven awards. We have Love, Death, and

00:44:41.599 –> 00:44:44.420
Robots from 2019, which has won over 30 awards.

00:44:44.980 –> 00:44:47.579
We have two installments from Marvel. We have

00:44:47.579 –> 00:44:52.079
Marvel’s Avengers Assemble from 2013 and Marvel’s

00:44:52.079 –> 00:44:56.619
Spider -Man from 2017. And then the only one

00:44:56.619 –> 00:44:58.519
that I really know anything about would be…

00:44:59.230 –> 00:45:01.489
Masters of the Universe. You can call it Revelation,

00:45:01.730 –> 00:45:04.090
Revolution. I don’t know. I mean, they switch

00:45:04.090 –> 00:45:06.050
titles every season. I don’t know if the series

00:45:06.050 –> 00:45:08.710
on a whole has an actual name after the word

00:45:08.710 –> 00:45:11.030
Masters of the Universe or not, but it’s from

00:45:11.030 –> 00:45:13.269
2021. We’re talking about the Kevin Smith He

00:45:13.269 –> 00:45:15.809
-Man show. So I will go first because I don’t

00:45:15.809 –> 00:45:17.469
have a whole lot to say. I haven’t seen any of

00:45:17.469 –> 00:45:20.289
them except for Masters of the Universe. I think

00:45:20.289 –> 00:45:23.929
that show is amazing. I think it’s well done

00:45:23.929 –> 00:45:26.550
and I think it deserves to be in the conversation.

00:45:28.469 –> 00:45:32.510
But I don’t know if it’s too soon to warrant

00:45:32.510 –> 00:45:35.369
a spot in a top 100 list. I don’t know if it’s

00:45:35.369 –> 00:45:37.010
over, if they’re going to continue to do more

00:45:37.010 –> 00:45:39.750
stuff with it or how that all is going to play

00:45:39.750 –> 00:45:43.909
out. I’m a fan. I don’t know if it is worthy

00:45:43.909 –> 00:45:46.650
yet of top 100, though. Mike, what do you think

00:45:46.650 –> 00:45:49.949
of that and the other four in this block? There

00:45:49.949 –> 00:45:52.829
are certain aspects of the Kevin Smith Masters

00:45:52.829 –> 00:45:56.230
of the Universe series, both part one and two,

00:45:56.289 –> 00:46:00.010
Revolution, Revelation, Robot Nation, whatever

00:46:00.010 –> 00:46:02.349
the hell they’re calling it. And I think that

00:46:02.349 –> 00:46:05.150
is completely done. I think that story is done.

00:46:05.250 –> 00:46:07.489
I don’t think Netflix is going to give him the

00:46:07.489 –> 00:46:10.349
reins to anything else with that franchise. I

00:46:10.349 –> 00:46:13.469
don’t think Mattel is going to give him anything

00:46:13.469 –> 00:46:17.539
else at this point. especially what he did with

00:46:17.539 –> 00:46:22.780
Skeletor and Evelyn. But anyway, but yeah, it’s

00:46:22.780 –> 00:46:29.300
way too soon. And that was 10 episode or what

00:46:29.300 –> 00:46:32.000
was it? Five episodes each, 10 episodes each.

00:46:32.039 –> 00:46:36.039
I forget. I don’t know. I didn’t dislike it,

00:46:36.119 –> 00:46:45.679
but I just compared to the other. I’m going to

00:46:45.679 –> 00:46:50.599
say two. Okay, three. Compared to the other three

00:46:50.599 –> 00:46:54.400
that are in my mind, which is the original 83

00:46:54.400 –> 00:47:00.179
and 85 series and then the 2002 series, Kevin

00:47:00.179 –> 00:47:07.780
Smith ain’t got no shot. He just ain’t got no

00:47:07.780 –> 00:47:10.519
shot. I need to check out Love, Death, and Robots.

00:47:10.519 –> 00:47:14.480
I haven’t checked that out yet. I don’t even

00:47:14.480 –> 00:47:19.380
remember. I remember hearing about Avengers Assemble,

00:47:19.539 –> 00:47:26.159
but I don’t remember that. What year was that?

00:47:26.460 –> 00:47:34.739
I don’t even… 2013. So that was right after…

00:47:34.739 –> 00:47:42.239
Sorry. And the sad thing is, anytime I hear the…

00:47:42.539 –> 00:47:45.639
Anytime I hear the phrase, all I hear in my head

00:47:45.639 –> 00:47:49.659
is Chris Evans. That’s all I can hear when he

00:47:49.659 –> 00:47:52.099
calls for the damn hammer. That’s all I can hear.

00:47:53.659 –> 00:47:57.880
And that didn’t happen until 2019. And as I already

00:47:57.880 –> 00:48:00.139
mentioned earlier, Marvel’s Spider -Man is something

00:48:00.139 –> 00:48:03.320
I need to look into because there were so many.

00:48:03.920 –> 00:48:07.739
Spider -Man cartoon series with Josh Keaton as

00:48:07.739 –> 00:48:10.679
like there was ultimate Spider -Man there was

00:48:10.679 –> 00:48:12.960
this Spider -Man that’s but and I’m not saying

00:48:12.960 –> 00:48:14.940
anything against Josh because I love Josh as

00:48:14.940 –> 00:48:17.559
the voice of Spider -Man I’m just saying under

00:48:17.559 –> 00:48:20.179
Disney there were so many different versions

00:48:20.179 –> 00:48:24.039
of Spider -Man that I do not remember that version

00:48:25.420 –> 00:48:28.860
Again, Kung Fu Panda, I didn’t watch that show.

00:48:28.940 –> 00:48:31.739
I don’t even remember watching the first of however

00:48:31.739 –> 00:48:36.039
many movies Jack Black had as that panda. So,

00:48:36.079 –> 00:48:43.500
yeah, no. Until I watch some of these other ones

00:48:43.500 –> 00:48:45.800
outside of what I’ve already seen with the Kevin

00:48:45.800 –> 00:48:49.000
Smith Master Series, I’m null and void on this

00:48:49.000 –> 00:48:54.019
list for this section. All right, Steve, what

00:48:54.019 –> 00:48:56.539
about you? So starting off with the beginning

00:48:56.539 –> 00:49:03.840
here with Kung Fu Panda, I could see this one

00:49:03.840 –> 00:49:06.440
doing well just because, again, it’s a DreamWorks

00:49:06.440 –> 00:49:12.440
show. DreamWorks seems to do pretty stinking

00:49:12.440 –> 00:49:16.920
well with their animated series akin to their

00:49:16.920 –> 00:49:26.820
films. I’m all for it for the people that enjoy

00:49:26.820 –> 00:49:29.179
it. I personally won’t be listing it just because

00:49:29.179 –> 00:49:35.880
it’s kind of a continuation of said movie. And

00:49:35.880 –> 00:49:38.800
so I don’t have any problem with it being there,

00:49:38.900 –> 00:49:40.719
though. I mean, it’s entertaining for what it

00:49:40.719 –> 00:49:46.280
is. Love, Death and Robots. I’ve heard of it,

00:49:46.280 –> 00:49:48.820
but again, it’s like a horror thing. And so I’m

00:49:48.820 –> 00:49:55.099
not into that at all. I want intellectual type

00:49:55.099 –> 00:49:58.179
stuff too, but I also want comedy and I just

00:49:58.179 –> 00:50:00.079
don’t gravitate towards that. So that won’t be

00:50:00.079 –> 00:50:04.599
on my list at all. Avengers Assemble. It’s an

00:50:04.599 –> 00:50:07.440
interesting take on it. Very colorful version

00:50:07.440 –> 00:50:09.860
of the Avengers. Again, kind of looks like it

00:50:09.860 –> 00:50:14.420
goes in the early 90s or not early 90s, early

00:50:14.420 –> 00:50:19.699
2000s aesthetic. Not quite there, but pretty

00:50:19.699 –> 00:50:24.090
close to it. Not something I’ll probably list,

00:50:24.170 –> 00:50:28.809
but to each their own there. I’m more of a DC

00:50:28.809 –> 00:50:34.869
animated fan. Marvel’s Spider -Man. Yeah, I didn’t

00:50:34.869 –> 00:50:37.650
watch this at all and really have no interest

00:50:37.650 –> 00:50:40.250
in watching it just because I’ve got plenty of

00:50:40.250 –> 00:50:44.750
Spider -Mans that are already on my list. And

00:50:44.750 –> 00:50:50.800
then Masters of the Universe. That one. I have

00:50:50.800 –> 00:50:53.059
kind of a bittersweet aspect with it. I know

00:50:53.059 –> 00:50:55.679
we reviewed it early and then the longer it’s

00:50:55.679 –> 00:50:57.579
kind of grown on me, the more I’m like, do I

00:50:57.579 –> 00:50:59.420
like it? Do I not like it? Will I go back and

00:50:59.420 –> 00:51:02.360
watch it? Probably not. But it’s like, but I

00:51:02.360 –> 00:51:05.340
also enjoyed the animation. I enjoyed what they

00:51:05.340 –> 00:51:07.420
did with it and kind of taking the stakes up

00:51:07.420 –> 00:51:10.340
and changing the status quo with it and, you

00:51:10.340 –> 00:51:13.420
know, doing something new. It’s still weird hearing

00:51:13.420 –> 00:51:17.719
Mark Hamill be Skeletor for me just because,

00:51:17.760 –> 00:51:21.369
I mean, I know he’s doing. somewhat of a new

00:51:21.369 –> 00:51:24.110
voice, but I still hear Joker in it, so it’s

00:51:24.110 –> 00:51:27.170
very difficult for me to take it seriously. But

00:51:27.170 –> 00:51:30.389
it’s almost like he’s the de facto villain anymore

00:51:30.389 –> 00:51:35.469
between Skeletor, the Joker. He was the Fallen

00:51:35.469 –> 00:51:40.190
in the Prime Wars trilogy, Transformers, Machinima

00:51:40.190 –> 00:51:45.309
series. I hear the same voice in everything,

00:51:45.469 –> 00:51:48.380
so it’s just kind of difficult to take. that

00:51:48.380 –> 00:51:51.739
out of it. But the seasons were overall really

00:51:51.739 –> 00:51:54.360
well done. I liked the fact that they changed

00:51:54.360 –> 00:51:56.960
things up. You got a different side of He -Man.

00:51:57.119 –> 00:52:00.579
You got the different side of Eternia and Preternia.

00:52:00.860 –> 00:52:04.059
And so it kind of added to the mythos of the

00:52:04.059 –> 00:52:06.059
original show. Definitely got people talking.

00:52:06.159 –> 00:52:08.860
Yep, definitely. Definitely. So that one will

00:52:08.860 –> 00:52:12.599
probably be on my list. But yeah, that about

00:52:12.599 –> 00:52:16.550
rounds me out for this section. All right. We’ll

00:52:16.550 –> 00:52:18.969
go from the master of the universe to something

00:52:18.969 –> 00:52:21.309
completely different with our next group. Well,

00:52:21.349 –> 00:52:23.489
it’s about time some pony got me out of that

00:52:23.489 –> 00:52:31.130
prison block. What a relief! At every third moon’s

00:52:31.130 –> 00:52:34.090
darkening, a champion is created to defeat the

00:52:34.090 –> 00:52:37.309
evil sorcerer, Nar Est. And every time, they

00:52:37.309 –> 00:52:40.550
have failed. Present this new hero with the shard.

00:52:40.809 –> 00:52:44.380
Keep him hidden. Somewhere lost in the clouded

00:52:44.380 –> 00:52:47.460
annals of history lies a place that few have

00:52:47.460 –> 00:52:52.059
seen. A mysterious place called the unknown.

00:52:52.360 –> 00:52:55.760
Where long forgotten stories are revealed to

00:52:55.760 –> 00:53:22.320
those who travel through the wood. All right,

00:53:22.340 –> 00:53:24.579
starting off this next set of five from 2010.

00:53:24.800 –> 00:53:29.019
It’s had over 200 episodes, won over 12 awards.

00:53:29.219 –> 00:53:31.239
It was on two of the lists we looked at. It is

00:53:31.239 –> 00:53:36.000
a pop culture phenomenon. How about My Little

00:53:36.000 –> 00:53:40.659
Pony? Friendship is magic. Took the world by

00:53:40.659 –> 00:53:44.179
storm. Who knew? And then we have Nico and the

00:53:44.179 –> 00:53:47.539
Sword of Light. That was an Amazon series from…

00:53:47.849 –> 00:53:52.230
2017. We have Over the Garden Wall from 2014.

00:53:52.969 –> 00:53:56.530
We have another cultural phenomenon for a younger

00:53:56.530 –> 00:54:00.409
audience, Paw Patrol from 2013. And we have a

00:54:00.409 –> 00:54:03.409
show called Primal from 2019, which is a Genndy

00:54:03.409 –> 00:54:07.409
Tartakovsky show. I will go first with this one.

00:54:07.630 –> 00:54:10.090
My Little Pony Friendship is Magic will get my

00:54:10.090 –> 00:54:14.809
vote simply for the cultural impact it had on

00:54:14.809 –> 00:54:20.449
just… went bananas right like and i did appreciate

00:54:20.449 –> 00:54:26.250
uh the appearance of john delancey in there that

00:54:26.250 –> 00:54:32.250
was fun i out of all of the 80s shows who knew

00:54:32.250 –> 00:54:35.150
that a reboot of my little pony was gonna do

00:54:35.150 –> 00:54:37.889
what it did i guess nico and the sword of light

00:54:37.889 –> 00:54:40.730
is another hidden gem kind of under the radar

00:54:40.730 –> 00:54:44.070
show i would call This one, like I said, was

00:54:44.070 –> 00:54:47.530
an Amazon Studios, Amazon Prime video series.

00:54:47.750 –> 00:54:50.110
It is centered around a 10 -year -old boy named

00:54:50.110 –> 00:54:53.369
Nico, who’s one of the last of his kind. And

00:54:53.369 –> 00:54:56.949
The Sword of Light obviously gives him some power.

00:54:57.429 –> 00:55:00.909
It involves the voices of the likes of Kerry

00:55:00.909 –> 00:55:03.170
Walgren, Jim Cummings, Dee Bradley Baker, Steve

00:55:03.170 –> 00:55:05.389
Bloom, Corey Burton, Tom Kenny, Kevin Michael

00:55:05.389 –> 00:55:08.869
Richardson. so the voice work is phenomenal i

00:55:08.869 –> 00:55:12.130
enjoyed the animation even though it’s like an

00:55:12.130 –> 00:55:16.690
american flash animated type series but i just

00:55:16.690 –> 00:55:18.809
thought it was again like this and kolopari to

00:55:18.809 –> 00:55:20.590
me are very similar because it’s something kind

00:55:20.590 –> 00:55:22.849
of off the beaten path and it’s not anime necessarily

00:55:22.849 –> 00:55:25.949
it’s not the what I call lazy animation that

00:55:25.949 –> 00:55:28.630
we got from a lot of things in the late 90s and

00:55:28.630 –> 00:55:31.110
early 2000s. So I actually enjoy the animation

00:55:31.110 –> 00:55:33.949
on these two shows much better. And I just think

00:55:33.949 –> 00:55:36.130
it’s a breath of fresh air for stuff. But I can

00:55:36.130 –> 00:55:37.710
see a lot of people not knowing what that one

00:55:37.710 –> 00:55:39.869
is. Over the Garden Wall, I’ve never heard of,

00:55:39.929 –> 00:55:42.849
but I’ve only seen good things when I’ve been

00:55:42.849 –> 00:55:44.610
doing research about it. Seems like a lot of

00:55:44.610 –> 00:55:46.349
people really, like there’s a lot of critical

00:55:46.349 –> 00:55:49.809
acclaim. I’ve never seen it. Paw Patrol, I guess

00:55:49.809 –> 00:55:51.969
in a similar way to My Little Pony is just like.

00:55:52.480 –> 00:55:55.239
Kids go bananas for this thing. My daughter was

00:55:55.239 –> 00:55:58.360
definitely obsessed with Paw Patrol. She was

00:55:58.360 –> 00:56:00.780
one of the Paw Patrol characters two years ago

00:56:00.780 –> 00:56:03.559
for Halloween. She had a Paw Patrol birthday.

00:56:03.940 –> 00:56:06.619
I don’t know of a kid that doesn’t like Paw Patrol.

00:56:06.860 –> 00:56:10.739
I don’t know what our generation’s version of

00:56:10.739 –> 00:56:13.159
that would have been. It wasn’t quite Smurfs.

00:56:13.219 –> 00:56:16.480
It was something else that everybody went bananas

00:56:16.480 –> 00:56:20.019
on back in the day. Primal, I’ve seen one episode

00:56:20.019 –> 00:56:26.000
of. I’m not a huge Tartakovsky fan necessarily.

00:56:26.860 –> 00:56:33.900
This one is about a caveman basically who comes

00:56:33.900 –> 00:56:37.480
into a relationship with a T -Rex. Like they’re

00:56:37.480 –> 00:56:42.019
like, I don’t know, like they’re a dynamic duo,

00:56:42.059 –> 00:56:46.860
I guess. And they’re like going through. dinosaur

00:56:46.860 –> 00:56:49.380
land and and everything that existed you know

00:56:49.380 –> 00:56:51.539
back in that time period and helping each other

00:56:51.539 –> 00:56:54.260
out there’s not a lot of speaking involved in

00:56:54.260 –> 00:56:57.440
this series whatsoever the animation’s okay i’m

00:56:57.440 –> 00:56:59.840
just not a huge fan of it and it to me it’s almost

00:56:59.840 –> 00:57:04.380
a little too mature like i don’t i don’t like

00:57:04.380 –> 00:57:08.159
seeing some of the stuff you see in the first

00:57:08.159 –> 00:57:10.559
episode i’m not trying to spoil it i guess but

00:57:10.559 –> 00:57:13.230
like There’s definitely some hard stuff to watch

00:57:13.230 –> 00:57:14.929
in the first episode. So I don’t know if that

00:57:14.929 –> 00:57:16.409
would be something that would make my list. But

00:57:16.409 –> 00:57:19.610
I get that it was very critically acclaimed.

00:57:19.610 –> 00:57:22.389
Again, it does a lot without a lot of voice work

00:57:22.389 –> 00:57:24.489
and stuff like that. It’s just not something

00:57:24.489 –> 00:57:28.309
for me personally. So let’s go to Steve first

00:57:28.309 –> 00:57:30.070
this time. What do you think of? We got My Little

00:57:30.070 –> 00:57:32.070
Pony, Friendship is Magic, Nico and the Sword

00:57:32.070 –> 00:57:34.949
of Light, Over the Garden Wall, Paw Patrol, and

00:57:34.949 –> 00:57:38.280
Primal. So I could see people voting for My Little

00:57:38.280 –> 00:57:40.820
Pony just because it went on, honestly, for nine

00:57:40.820 –> 00:57:44.179
seasons. That’s quite a bit in today’s, you know,

00:57:44.179 –> 00:57:46.679
today’s animation world. Yeah. Plus, she had

00:57:46.679 –> 00:57:50.940
John Delancey. So there there is a benefit there,

00:57:50.940 –> 00:57:54.340
too. What’s funny is we interviewed him right

00:57:54.340 –> 00:57:57.420
around the time that this was coming out. And

00:57:57.420 –> 00:58:02.019
on and he he he played on that show and then.

00:58:02.809 –> 00:58:06.070
I’ve seen bits and pieces of it. It’s not something

00:58:06.070 –> 00:58:08.630
for me, but I can see why it would have the critical

00:58:08.630 –> 00:58:12.030
acclaim, especially going on 221 episodes and

00:58:12.030 –> 00:58:17.630
nine seasons. So Nico looks interesting. I have

00:58:17.630 –> 00:58:20.570
not seen it, but again, I will put this on my

00:58:20.570 –> 00:58:25.309
list of to watch and over the garden wall. While

00:58:25.309 –> 00:58:27.909
I am not a fan of the animation style, it does

00:58:27.909 –> 00:58:32.119
have some legendary actors in it. with like elijah

00:58:32.119 –> 00:58:38.239
wood christopher lloyd um john cleese so could

00:58:38.239 –> 00:58:43.099
be something interesting uh but again it’s i

00:58:43.099 –> 00:58:48.780
don’t i don’t see like me investing in this one

00:58:48.780 –> 00:58:50.840
in particular for the list just because it’s

00:58:50.840 –> 00:58:55.820
only 10 episodes so right i i’m trying to also

00:58:55.820 –> 00:58:58.650
stay away from shows that are only one season

00:58:58.650 –> 00:59:02.510
because i’m like how can it be a top 100 if it

00:59:02.510 –> 00:59:05.829
went on for one season yeah like if you were

00:59:05.829 –> 00:59:09.230
doing cult classics i get that top 100s then

00:59:09.230 –> 00:59:11.349
i could see it being on it it almost feels like

00:59:11.349 –> 00:59:14.050
uh to me it’s like judging a band that had one

00:59:14.050 –> 00:59:16.710
hit yeah it’s like a one hit wonder type thing

00:59:16.710 –> 00:59:18.510
it could be an interesting way to look at it

00:59:18.510 –> 00:59:21.369
in the future doing a show that never quite got

00:59:21.369 –> 00:59:23.469
there enough to you know cult classic animated

00:59:23.469 –> 00:59:27.320
series or something and having shows that Didn’t

00:59:27.320 –> 00:59:30.739
qualify for this. So there’s that Paw Patrol.

00:59:31.119 –> 00:59:35.239
Oh, my goodness. My kids love this show. 12 seasons,

00:59:35.320 –> 00:59:39.139
12 seasons. They watch the crap out of it on

00:59:39.139 –> 00:59:41.940
Netflix, like the crap out of it. They loved

00:59:41.940 –> 00:59:46.119
it when they were babysat with family. They loved

00:59:46.119 –> 00:59:49.400
it even up till about two years ago. Had a lot

00:59:49.400 –> 00:59:55.349
of the stuff. Just love the show. So I can see

00:59:55.349 –> 00:59:57.329
this one being on the list. It’s not on my list,

00:59:57.469 –> 01:00:01.929
but I’m pretty sure that for a list that they

01:00:01.929 –> 01:00:05.010
would put together, it would be on it. Primal,

01:00:05.090 –> 01:00:09.449
I’m not a fan of Gennady Tartakovsky other than

01:00:09.449 –> 01:00:12.550
a few select shows that he’s done. This just

01:00:12.550 –> 01:00:14.929
doesn’t look like something I would enjoy. So

01:00:14.929 –> 01:00:18.010
it won’t be on my list. Yeah, I watched one episode

01:00:18.010 –> 01:00:20.829
and I probably won’t watch a second. So that’s

01:00:20.829 –> 01:00:24.170
just me. Mike, what about you for this set of

01:00:24.170 –> 01:00:27.269
five? One thing I’ll say that is not going to

01:00:27.269 –> 01:00:30.530
make my list is Paw Patrol, and it has nothing

01:00:30.530 –> 01:00:34.889
to do, like, it’s just not in my age. I’m too

01:00:34.889 –> 01:00:37.530
old for it. I don’t have kids, like I’ve said

01:00:37.530 –> 01:00:40.369
before already in this episode. I recorded something

01:00:40.369 –> 01:00:44.550
two years ago. Episode 317 of Geekcast Radio

01:00:44.550 –> 01:00:48.829
was children’s television programming then and

01:00:48.829 –> 01:00:51.710
now with my good Canadian friend Jennifer Kaufman.

01:00:52.440 –> 01:00:54.159
And I remember when I released that episode,

01:00:54.280 –> 01:00:56.360
Optimus was like, how could you do this without

01:00:56.360 –> 01:00:59.860
me? And I said, there was a specific agenda for

01:00:59.860 –> 01:01:04.159
this episode. Jennifer had made comments on Facebook,

01:01:04.260 –> 01:01:09.480
specifically her rant about Paw Patrol and why

01:01:09.480 –> 01:01:13.179
she thought it was a horrible show. And that’s

01:01:13.179 –> 01:01:16.800
why I had her on that episode was so she could

01:01:16.800 –> 01:01:18.840
get her rant out because I believe everybody

01:01:18.840 –> 01:01:21.320
needs to have a voice on whether they like or

01:01:21.320 –> 01:01:25.019
dislike something. And we didn’t go full rant

01:01:25.019 –> 01:01:27.539
the whole time. It is a show. It is a podcast

01:01:27.539 –> 01:01:30.019
about children’s television programming then

01:01:30.019 –> 01:01:36.500
and now, at least now as of 2023. But so, yeah,

01:01:36.500 –> 01:01:39.480
folks, if you want to hear that episode 317 of

01:01:39.480 –> 01:01:43.340
Geekast Radio. So that was interesting. I see

01:01:43.340 –> 01:01:45.480
the title over the garden wall and all I can

01:01:45.480 –> 01:01:47.679
think of is why you want to eavesdrop on Adam

01:01:47.679 –> 01:01:50.440
and Eve. We know what happened. My Little Pony

01:01:50.440 –> 01:01:53.300
Friendship is Magic is great. I’ve only seen

01:01:53.300 –> 01:01:55.639
a handful of episodes, but I’ve seen enough of

01:01:55.639 –> 01:01:58.539
the show to know that it’s amazing. John Delancey,

01:01:58.539 –> 01:02:00.539
as you guys have already mentioned it, absolutely

01:02:00.539 –> 01:02:02.840
amazing. We’ve actually covered several of the

01:02:02.840 –> 01:02:05.619
comic books based on that from IDW over on the

01:02:05.619 –> 01:02:09.280
pull bag. They did a series called My Little

01:02:09.280 –> 01:02:12.500
Pony Fiendship is Magic, where Beatles Diva and

01:02:12.500 –> 01:02:14.900
I covered that on the pull bag, but that show

01:02:14.900 –> 01:02:17.659
is awesome. That show’s great. Interesting fun

01:02:17.659 –> 01:02:20.179
fact to note, and I’ll have to do the research

01:02:20.179 –> 01:02:26.219
on this after the show, to figure out when the

01:02:26.219 –> 01:02:29.579
lovely service we’re using to record this podcast

01:02:29.579 –> 01:02:32.159
was created versus when the character was created,

01:02:32.280 –> 01:02:34.880
because John Delancey’s character’s name was

01:02:34.880 –> 01:02:43.400
Discord. i’ve never heard of nico in the sort

01:02:43.400 –> 01:02:46.300
of light and i’ve never heard of primal the only

01:02:46.300 –> 01:02:49.400
primal i knew was it’s a current i think it’s

01:02:49.400 –> 01:02:52.239
a current video game maybe and then the only

01:02:52.239 –> 01:02:54.099
other version of it that i knew was a richard

01:02:54.099 –> 01:02:57.559
gear movie in the 90s called primal fear i think

01:02:57.559 –> 01:02:59.960
it was the 90s for sure i thought for sure you

01:02:59.960 –> 01:03:02.280
knew about okay yeah okay yeah there is the giant

01:03:02.280 –> 01:03:06.480
monkey but well there was a video game of primal

01:03:06.480 –> 01:03:10.199
way back in the 90s yeah but like there’s a new

01:03:10.199 –> 01:03:13.940
there’s also a newer version of i could have

01:03:13.940 –> 01:03:16.360
sworn anyway all right that does it for the first

01:03:16.360 –> 01:03:19.300
half of the nominees for today let’s uh see what

01:03:19.300 –> 01:03:21.300
we have in store for the second half it looks

01:03:21.300 –> 01:03:25.760
just like rigby did somebody order an accountant

01:03:25.760 –> 01:03:30.789
i love this tasty lake Man, that guy is the Red

01:03:30.789 –> 01:03:32.789
Grin Grumboldt of pretending he knows what’s

01:03:32.789 –> 01:03:36.469
going on. Oh, you agree, huh? You like that Red

01:03:36.469 –> 01:03:38.670
Grin Grumboldt reference? Well, guess what? I

01:03:38.670 –> 01:03:42.329
made him up. No, they’re not. And what about

01:03:42.329 –> 01:03:45.809
this Fred Jones? Certainly there must be other

01:03:45.809 –> 01:03:49.889
boys. Not like Fred. He’s like one of those geniuses

01:03:49.889 –> 01:03:54.309
that no one understands until they’re dead. This

01:03:54.309 –> 01:03:57.389
is what I’ve been working for my entire life.

01:03:59.039 –> 01:04:01.119
i wonder what’s even outside the fright zone

01:04:01.119 –> 01:04:03.559
we’re gonna see the world and conquer it catra

01:04:03.559 –> 01:04:13.400
slow down adora captain’s log stardate 57436

01:04:13.400 –> 01:04:17.000
.2 the cerritos is docked at douglas station

01:04:17.000 –> 01:04:21.170
for routine maintenance and resupply my god what

01:04:21.170 –> 01:04:23.429
are you doing nothing nothing nothing oh no oh

01:04:23.429 –> 01:04:26.550
no no no are you pretending to do a captain’s

01:04:26.550 –> 01:04:29.250
log we’re all supposed to keep lost okay let

01:04:29.250 –> 01:04:32.869
me listen to it go away all right a couple more

01:04:32.869 –> 01:04:37.550
that are obviously very popular in society or

01:04:37.550 –> 01:04:39.889
pop culture i guess could start off with a couple

01:04:39.889 –> 01:04:41.710
here even though i have never seen them another

01:04:41.710 –> 01:04:45.530
one from 2010 a lot of series so far from 2010

01:04:45.530 –> 01:04:49.139
i think we had adventure time was 2010 We had

01:04:49.139 –> 01:04:51.480
My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic, and we’re

01:04:51.480 –> 01:04:53.820
going to have regular show right now from 2010.

01:04:54.860 –> 01:04:58.099
261 episodes, over 20 awards. We have Rick and

01:04:58.099 –> 01:05:00.539
Morty, which obviously was super popular. I don’t

01:05:00.539 –> 01:05:02.579
know if it still is, but it came out in 2013.

01:05:03.340 –> 01:05:07.119
Over 15 awards for that one. Another 2010 series,

01:05:07.400 –> 01:05:09.679
Scooby -Doo Mystery Incorporated. Mike already

01:05:09.679 –> 01:05:11.579
talked briefly about that one, but Scooby -Doo

01:05:11.579 –> 01:05:13.880
Mystery Inc. is our third one in this block.

01:05:13.980 –> 01:05:16.480
We have She -Ra and the Princesses of Power.

01:05:16.619 –> 01:05:18.920
You may have to separate Mike and myself during

01:05:18.920 –> 01:05:21.639
any conversation on that one. And then we have

01:05:21.639 –> 01:05:25.260
Star Trek Lower Decks, another entry, our second

01:05:25.260 –> 01:05:29.019
one from the 2020s that came out in 2020. So

01:05:29.019 –> 01:05:30.539
Steve, let’s start with you on this one. We have

01:05:30.539 –> 01:05:33.019
Regular Show, Rick and Morty, Scooby -Doo Mystery

01:05:33.019 –> 01:05:35.159
Inc., She -Ra and the Princesses of Power, and

01:05:35.159 –> 01:05:39.269
Star Trek Lower Decks. So starting off… Regular

01:05:39.269 –> 01:05:42.150
show is automatically one of those ones that

01:05:42.150 –> 01:05:46.929
I. I tried to watch and I did try to watch it.

01:05:47.010 –> 01:05:52.550
I couldn’t get into it. It yeah, it between the

01:05:52.550 –> 01:05:55.349
animation and then I just I don’t care for the

01:05:55.349 –> 01:05:58.449
show and the writing. So I moved on from that

01:05:58.449 –> 01:06:03.630
pretty quickly. Rick and Morty, I know that a

01:06:03.630 –> 01:06:06.889
lot of people enjoy that. It’s definitely goofy.

01:06:07.769 –> 01:06:09.989
And there’s a lot of, you know, time and a lot

01:06:09.989 –> 01:06:13.630
of different weird isms, almost akin to like

01:06:13.630 –> 01:06:16.590
a. I would say like a Beetlejuice and some of

01:06:16.590 –> 01:06:19.449
the other things from back in the 90s that you

01:06:19.449 –> 01:06:23.429
could kind of play in that field. I haven’t watched

01:06:23.429 –> 01:06:27.989
a whole lot of this. And I get why a lot of people

01:06:27.989 –> 01:06:32.150
would like it. It’s not something for me, but.

01:06:32.800 –> 01:06:35.679
I can understand this one at least a little bit

01:06:35.679 –> 01:06:37.980
more. I don’t love the animation either, but

01:06:37.980 –> 01:06:43.079
at least it tries to do something. Scooby -Doo

01:06:43.079 –> 01:06:47.000
Mystery Incorporated. It’s obviously a modern

01:06:47.000 –> 01:06:54.059
update of Scooby -Doo. And you get guest stars

01:06:54.059 –> 01:06:57.400
in some of it. You get them doing what they always

01:06:57.400 –> 01:07:02.010
do. modern modern colors modern you know updated

01:07:02.010 –> 01:07:04.349
actors you know because you get matthew littler

01:07:04.349 –> 01:07:09.030
playing shaggy and frank walker playing fred

01:07:09.030 –> 01:07:13.690
and scooby and there’s an episode where they

01:07:13.690 –> 01:07:18.050
talk to themselves with the voice actors yep

01:07:18.050 –> 01:07:20.409
in the voice booth they’re like oh you sound

01:07:20.409 –> 01:07:23.909
like me blah blah blah yeah so i mean this this

01:07:23.909 –> 01:07:27.210
one’s this one’s a pretty nice updating of the

01:07:27.210 –> 01:07:30.730
show and I think it could stand on its own, especially

01:07:30.730 –> 01:07:32.829
if you’re not a fan of the original show. This

01:07:32.829 –> 01:07:36.369
kind of lives in that vein without being too

01:07:36.369 –> 01:07:40.070
much in it. She run the princesses of power.

01:07:40.750 –> 01:07:43.409
Again, this one’s an animation thing for me.

01:07:43.469 –> 01:07:46.130
I mean, there was also a lot of different drama

01:07:46.130 –> 01:07:50.349
with this one being out, not just animation,

01:07:50.409 –> 01:07:53.789
but a lot of things that people disliked. And

01:07:53.789 –> 01:07:58.159
I, it bears no. No bearing on me for this. I

01:07:58.159 –> 01:08:01.599
was never a fan of She -Ra anyway, so this doesn’t

01:08:01.599 –> 01:08:04.320
impact me whatsoever. Not a show I’d probably

01:08:04.320 –> 01:08:08.000
list, but again, it is what it is. Star Trek

01:08:08.000 –> 01:08:11.260
Lower Decks. This one is done by the guy that

01:08:11.260 –> 01:08:17.579
did some of the stuff on Rick and Morty. At least

01:08:17.579 –> 01:08:20.579
I think it is. Mike McMahon also had a Twitter

01:08:20.579 –> 01:08:30.380
page that he did TNG Season 8. He loved the continuity.

01:08:32.359 –> 01:08:35.239
It’s very much a comedy show of lower deckers

01:08:35.239 –> 01:08:39.180
and plays in that realm. You get your red shirts,

01:08:39.500 –> 01:08:42.520
you get your gold shirts, your blue shirts, and

01:08:42.520 –> 01:08:46.399
you get some actors reprising their original

01:08:46.399 –> 01:08:50.840
characters as voices like John Delancey and Jonathan

01:08:50.840 –> 01:08:57.409
Frakes and George Takai. uh jolene blaylock you

01:08:57.409 –> 01:08:59.170
know so you get you get a bunch of different

01:08:59.170 –> 01:09:01.670
actors from the olden days coming back periodically

01:09:01.670 –> 01:09:04.609
and jonathan frakes is kind of like in everything

01:09:04.609 –> 01:09:10.329
pretty much everything but tos he’s been in and

01:09:10.329 –> 01:09:15.170
discovery so so there’s there’s that the show

01:09:15.170 –> 01:09:18.189
was the show’s a lot of fun i went into it and

01:09:18.189 –> 01:09:21.189
i didn’t love it the first half the first season

01:09:21.930 –> 01:09:24.270
And then it grew on me and I actually enjoyed

01:09:24.270 –> 01:09:26.569
the show to the point that I actually look forward

01:09:26.569 –> 01:09:29.689
to it as much as I did like Strange New Worlds

01:09:29.689 –> 01:09:34.869
and Picard season three. So I think this one

01:09:34.869 –> 01:09:39.149
was very well done. And some people say it’s

01:09:39.149 –> 01:09:42.170
overrated. I they at least try to play in the

01:09:42.170 –> 01:09:44.890
continuity, which I found refreshing. And so

01:09:44.890 –> 01:09:49.960
they would go back to old plot points and. do

01:09:49.960 –> 01:09:51.899
something new and then all of their posters were

01:09:51.899 –> 01:09:55.119
kind of play on different motion picture posters

01:09:55.119 –> 01:09:59.420
so so yeah this one will definitely be on my

01:09:59.420 –> 01:10:02.579
list for me and I’ll start I’ll kind of go in

01:10:02.579 –> 01:10:05.659
reverse order I guess so I’m a fan of just about

01:10:05.659 –> 01:10:07.399
all things Star Trek there hasn’t been a whole

01:10:07.399 –> 01:10:09.539
lot in the Star Trek universe that I have watched

01:10:09.539 –> 01:10:12.800
that I haven’t liked I’m we’re making our way

01:10:12.800 –> 01:10:18.529
through the last little bit of strange new worlds

01:10:18.529 –> 01:10:20.729
that’s the only one that we haven’t seen in its

01:10:20.729 –> 01:10:23.329
entirety but i have not gotten to the animated

01:10:23.329 –> 01:10:27.369
series yet so both uh any of the star trek animated

01:10:27.369 –> 01:10:29.710
series are kind of on my watch list just haven’t

01:10:29.710 –> 01:10:32.470
got to them yet so i need to make time for that

01:10:32.470 –> 01:10:35.250
before we finalize our list cheer in the princesses

01:10:35.250 –> 01:10:37.010
of power this is something more that i just like

01:10:37.010 –> 01:10:40.329
to poke mike about i actually haven’t seen most

01:10:40.329 –> 01:10:44.729
of this show i’ve seen i think the first season

01:10:44.729 –> 01:10:47.470
or at least half of the first season if not the

01:10:47.470 –> 01:10:51.750
whole first season i was a fan of like most of

01:10:51.750 –> 01:10:53.989
what i saw but i do know it kind of goes in a

01:10:53.989 –> 01:10:55.329
lot of different directions throughout the rest

01:10:55.329 –> 01:10:57.050
of the series and has some controversy and things

01:10:57.050 –> 01:10:59.729
of that nature so i don’t know if i’m a fan of

01:10:59.729 –> 01:11:02.670
that in my animated series just to kind of leave

01:11:02.670 –> 01:11:07.460
it somewhat nondescript but uh just like playing

01:11:07.460 –> 01:11:09.220
with mike there because i i know he’s not a fan

01:11:09.220 –> 01:11:12.840
so um he’ll get the chance to talk about it in

01:11:12.840 –> 01:11:15.380
a second scooby -doo mystery inc is uh scooby

01:11:15.380 –> 01:11:17.220
-doo mystery incorporated will for sure get a

01:11:17.220 –> 01:11:21.460
vote from me i think that’s there’s not many

01:11:21.460 –> 01:11:23.840
times that i would vote for something over the

01:11:23.840 –> 01:11:25.819
original i’m not saying i’m doing that here either

01:11:25.819 –> 01:11:27.979
but like what we talked about with ducktales

01:11:27.979 –> 01:11:29.640
earlier on right like we were talking about the

01:11:29.640 –> 01:11:33.699
original versus the 27 2017 reboot things of

01:11:33.699 –> 01:11:38.289
that nature scooby -doo mystery inc is one of

01:11:38.289 –> 01:11:40.649
it’s like a reboot that actually could give the

01:11:40.649 –> 01:11:42.930
original a run for its money if the original

01:11:42.930 –> 01:11:46.470
wasn’t yeah scooby -doo like the franchise scooby

01:11:46.470 –> 01:11:48.409
-doo right like it’s just so iconic that it’s

01:11:48.409 –> 01:11:50.289
hard to beat that original but scooby -doo mystery

01:11:50.289 –> 01:11:54.090
inc is in fantastic reboot so i think it’s definitely

01:11:54.090 –> 01:11:57.310
worthy rick and morty and regular show i haven’t

01:11:57.310 –> 01:11:59.550
seen so i will have to catch up with that those

01:11:59.550 –> 01:12:01.350
two if they were to get a vote would be more

01:12:01.350 –> 01:12:05.560
so on Just like the overwhelming support that

01:12:05.560 –> 01:12:09.460
they seem to have in most groups that talk about

01:12:09.460 –> 01:12:12.180
this type of thing. But I would like to actually

01:12:12.180 –> 01:12:13.979
get a chance to watch some of that for myself

01:12:13.979 –> 01:12:16.539
before I put them there. But I could see both

01:12:16.539 –> 01:12:18.439
of them making our countdown potentially. Mike,

01:12:18.500 –> 01:12:20.159
what do you think of this set of five? Yeah,

01:12:20.180 –> 01:12:23.699
I’ve never had a chance to check out Lower Decks,

01:12:23.699 –> 01:12:25.399
so I’m going to have to put that on my list to

01:12:25.399 –> 01:12:28.689
check it out. Rick and Morty and regular show.

01:12:29.130 –> 01:12:32.449
I’ve seen a smattering of both of them, but I’ve

01:12:32.449 –> 01:12:35.550
never actually watched a full episode. So again,

01:12:35.609 –> 01:12:38.550
those are going to have to go on the watch five

01:12:38.550 –> 01:12:44.149
list. Scooby to Mr. Inc. I’ve already said what

01:12:44.149 –> 01:12:46.449
I have seen of it. I’ve absolutely loved it.

01:12:49.170 –> 01:12:51.609
Art direction done by the late, great Derek J.

01:12:51.649 –> 01:12:53.789
Wyatt. Derek passed away a number of years ago.

01:12:53.829 –> 01:12:56.550
I’ve had the chance to talk to him, interview

01:12:56.550 –> 01:13:01.310
him several times. He’s been on ToyCast. He’s

01:13:01.310 –> 01:13:05.569
been on several other, I think, all things Transformers.

01:13:05.970 –> 01:13:09.170
I don’t know if we did a transformation animation

01:13:09.170 –> 01:13:13.350
interview with him, but he’s been on GCRN in

01:13:13.350 –> 01:13:15.350
the past, and unfortunately, he passed away a

01:13:15.350 –> 01:13:23.539
number of years ago. uh shira and the princesses

01:13:23.539 –> 01:13:29.220
of mother power oh god this fuck i don’t give

01:13:29.220 –> 01:13:34.859
two craps about the offline creative whatever

01:13:34.859 –> 01:13:40.300
showrunner bs whatever the show itself i don’t

01:13:40.300 –> 01:13:45.920
like the animation style I think, but I would

01:13:45.920 –> 01:13:50.659
have to go back and look through my Netflix.

01:13:50.779 –> 01:13:53.600
And I don’t even know if I even have the same

01:13:53.600 –> 01:13:58.560
Netflix queue now that I did back then. So I

01:13:58.560 –> 01:14:02.760
don’t even know. No, I can tell you, no, I don’t.

01:14:02.779 –> 01:14:05.119
Because I can tell you this show currently isn’t

01:14:05.119 –> 01:14:08.800
in my Netflix list. I don’t even know if I, anyway.

01:14:09.369 –> 01:14:12.250
I remember when I sat down to watch this, I sat

01:14:12.250 –> 01:14:15.609
down to give it the college try. I watched the

01:14:15.609 –> 01:14:18.069
first season. I watched the second season. By

01:14:18.069 –> 01:14:20.229
the end of the second season, I was flipping

01:14:20.229 –> 01:14:24.489
done. I could not stand the writing. I could

01:14:24.489 –> 01:14:30.649
not stand the characters. It just wasn’t a show

01:14:30.649 –> 01:14:34.390
for me. I understand it’s a show for somebody.

01:14:35.000 –> 01:14:38.560
I understand. And when I say it wasn’t a show

01:14:38.560 –> 01:14:42.159
for me, I was not expecting them to magically

01:14:42.159 –> 01:14:47.800
transport 1985 to 1987 She -Ra and make it modern

01:14:47.800 –> 01:14:51.260
times. Fine. You want to write a modern -day

01:14:51.260 –> 01:14:56.699
version of She -Ra? Great. That’s awesome. But

01:14:56.699 –> 01:15:01.079
don’t do it the way they… It just… I just

01:15:01.079 –> 01:15:05.250
didn’t like it. And… I’ll go back and I’ll

01:15:05.250 –> 01:15:07.789
try again, but this time I’m only watching five

01:15:07.789 –> 01:15:13.329
episodes. Somebody paid me to watch The Acolyte

01:15:13.329 –> 01:15:20.130
and I watched it. Still didn’t like it, but I

01:15:20.130 –> 01:15:23.510
watched it and I gave my honest opinion from

01:15:23.510 –> 01:15:25.920
watching it. But there ain’t no way in hell I

01:15:25.920 –> 01:15:27.659
would ever take money to watch more than five

01:15:27.659 –> 01:15:29.699
episodes of She -Ra. And I’m not asking anyone

01:15:29.699 –> 01:15:33.819
to do so now. But for our rules of giving it

01:15:33.819 –> 01:15:36.840
the five episode rule, I will rewatch five episodes

01:15:36.840 –> 01:15:40.420
of this show. But I just remember going through

01:15:40.420 –> 01:15:43.300
watching the first two seasons of this every

01:15:43.300 –> 01:15:45.600
time that they dropped the new season when it

01:15:45.600 –> 01:15:53.859
dropped. I just didn’t. It was just bad writing.

01:15:54.979 –> 01:15:57.560
Bad writing on top of animation I didn’t want

01:15:57.560 –> 01:16:01.539
to see because of the style of animation. It

01:16:01.539 –> 01:16:09.579
just wasn’t for me at all. And I just can’t do

01:16:09.579 –> 01:16:12.260
it. All right. Let’s see what the next set of

01:16:12.260 –> 01:16:20.439
five holds. On behalf of Starfleet, welcome aboard.

01:16:20.819 –> 01:16:28.020
Uh, what is that? Have you ever even flown a

01:16:28.020 –> 01:16:35.380
ship before? No. Does it show? Disabling gravity.

01:16:35.720 –> 01:16:48.479
Okay. because today is my 14th birthday. And

01:16:48.479 –> 01:16:51.100
according to tradition, my mom, the queen, has

01:16:51.100 –> 01:16:54.960
to bestow upon me our greatest family heirloom,

01:16:55.039 –> 01:17:01.579
the royal magic wand. That thing’s not a Wookiee.

01:17:01.659 –> 01:17:03.640
Haven’t you ever seen a rare hairless Wookiee

01:17:03.640 –> 01:17:12.890
before? Oh, forget it. Told you they wouldn’t

01:17:12.890 –> 01:17:15.029
buy it. You didn’t exactly give them a chance

01:17:15.029 –> 01:17:18.229
to buy it. It’s just something about the feel

01:17:18.229 –> 01:17:24.729
of their helmets on my fist. No! This can’t be

01:17:24.729 –> 01:17:28.369
happening! This has to be a dream! Lars! Lars!

01:17:28.670 –> 01:17:31.270
Please tell me I’m dreaming! Get off me, man.

01:17:31.289 –> 01:17:33.729
I’m stuck in here. I never thought we’d come

01:17:33.729 –> 01:17:46.560
back. And you’ll wish you never had. You were

01:17:46.560 –> 01:17:50.859
fools to return. And now, with your help, I will

01:17:50.859 –> 01:17:58.739
take over this land once again. It’s over, dragon.

01:17:59.000 –> 01:18:03.300
It has only begun. The song is mine, you fools.

01:18:05.119 –> 01:18:07.439
So we ended with Star Trek Lower Decks. We’ll

01:18:07.439 –> 01:18:10.289
start this group with Star Trek Prodigy. from

01:18:10.289 –> 01:18:13.510
2021 our third series from the 2020s here to

01:18:13.510 –> 01:18:16.149
make the nominee list we also have from 2015

01:18:16.149 –> 01:18:19.590
star versus the forces of evil we have star wars

01:18:19.590 –> 01:18:24.010
rebels from 2014 another star wars animated series

01:18:24.010 –> 01:18:27.670
that gets a chance to be on the top 100 we have

01:18:27.670 –> 01:18:31.449
steven universe from 2013 and also from 2013

01:18:31.449 –> 01:18:37.550
teen titans go which says it has 393 episodes

01:18:37.550 –> 01:18:42.060
is that real Anyway, I will start real quick

01:18:42.060 –> 01:18:43.699
because I don’t have a whole lot to say. Like

01:18:43.699 –> 01:18:45.600
I said, with Star Trek Lower Decks, I haven’t

01:18:45.600 –> 01:18:47.239
seen any of the animated Star Trek stuff, so

01:18:47.239 –> 01:18:49.560
I need to catch up with that. I’m still trying

01:18:49.560 –> 01:18:52.680
to catch up with Star Wars Clone Wars, so Star

01:18:52.680 –> 01:18:55.960
Wars Rebels will come after that. So hopefully

01:18:55.960 –> 01:18:57.699
I’ll have a chance to watch some of that before

01:18:57.699 –> 01:19:00.560
the countdown. I know that this one is very well

01:19:00.560 –> 01:19:03.300
-received, well thought of, critically acclaimed.

01:19:03.300 –> 01:19:05.899
So it’s probably going to get a vote from me

01:19:05.899 –> 01:19:09.600
regardless, just on… like it’s a reputation,

01:19:09.720 –> 01:19:13.560
but I’ll try to get to it beforehand. Teen Titans

01:19:13.560 –> 01:19:17.119
go. I can’t see myself watching that Steven universe.

01:19:17.260 –> 01:19:20.279
I’ll potentially watch five episodes just to

01:19:20.279 –> 01:19:22.699
be fair. I don’t know if I’ll do the same for

01:19:22.699 –> 01:19:25.439
star versus the forces of evil. A lot of this

01:19:25.439 –> 01:19:27.720
is just not from my time period. So it’s, it’s

01:19:27.720 –> 01:19:29.819
hard for me to, to get behind some of them, but

01:19:29.819 –> 01:19:31.180
we’ll see how it goes. Mike, what do you think

01:19:31.180 –> 01:19:34.500
of this set of five Steven universe? Then again,

01:19:34.720 –> 01:19:37.399
the only thing stopping me on that, again, I

01:19:37.399 –> 01:19:39.500
will give it the five episode tribe, but the

01:19:39.500 –> 01:19:41.739
thing mainly stopping me on that is the animation

01:19:41.739 –> 01:19:49.420
style. Teen Titans go again. It’s, it’s, um,

01:19:49.479 –> 01:19:52.739
okay. How we said earlier that I liked that Steve

01:19:52.739 –> 01:19:54.600
and I liked justice league action because it

01:19:54.600 –> 01:19:57.180
was a more comedic version of justice league

01:19:57.180 –> 01:19:59.329
and justice league unlimited. Justice League

01:19:59.329 –> 01:20:01.369
and Justice League Unlimited was actually really,

01:20:01.449 –> 01:20:04.710
really good, which means we knew what we didn’t

01:20:04.710 –> 01:20:07.329
know going in. But after seeing Justice League

01:20:07.329 –> 01:20:09.670
action and seeing the more comedic version, it

01:20:09.670 –> 01:20:13.069
was good. This is not that case where Teen Titans

01:20:13.069 –> 01:20:18.890
from 2003, 2004 was a really good, serious, awesome

01:20:18.890 –> 01:20:25.100
show. This just. Hey. There’s good comedy and

01:20:25.100 –> 01:20:27.659
then there’s ham bone comedy. This is ham bone

01:20:27.659 –> 01:20:31.539
comedy just to ham it up. And it’s just not good.

01:20:32.380 –> 01:20:34.939
Star versus the forces of evil. I think I’ve

01:20:34.939 –> 01:20:37.880
seen commercials for it when commercials were

01:20:37.880 –> 01:20:40.260
still a thing in my world. Star Wars rebels,

01:20:40.500 –> 01:20:44.140
simply awesome. Absolutely love it. And then

01:20:44.140 –> 01:20:46.720
Star Trek prodigy. I will have to watch that

01:20:46.720 –> 01:20:49.300
myself. Steve, what do you think about this set

01:20:49.300 –> 01:20:52.640
of five? So I’ll start with Star Trek prodigy.

01:20:53.069 –> 01:20:56.550
I watched this one and they do use for some of

01:20:56.550 –> 01:20:59.949
the because it’s a new crew that kind of commandeers

01:20:59.949 –> 01:21:05.229
a Starfleet ship that’s run derelict on a mining

01:21:05.229 –> 01:21:10.470
colony, basically. And there’s there’s definitely

01:21:10.470 –> 01:21:12.710
something that Starfleet did wrong at one point

01:21:12.710 –> 01:21:16.569
and endangered like a civilization that has a

01:21:16.569 –> 01:21:19.750
definite revenge plot going with the prodigy.

01:21:20.270 –> 01:21:23.670
And Janeway is pretty heavily involved and Chakotay

01:21:23.670 –> 01:21:28.989
and the EMH. And so you get you get some of these

01:21:28.989 –> 01:21:30.789
different aspects through the first two seasons.

01:21:30.829 –> 01:21:32.729
I honestly wish that they would have gotten another

01:21:32.729 –> 01:21:35.229
season because they were just getting ready to

01:21:35.229 –> 01:21:39.050
set off on the Voyager A. For more adventures,

01:21:39.250 –> 01:21:44.130
and it was really well done in the scenes that

01:21:44.130 –> 01:21:45.850
they use, like the holodeck, for instance, they

01:21:45.850 –> 01:21:52.720
would call on. You know, old. Starfleet characters

01:21:52.720 –> 01:21:56.680
or you know personnel like Spock and you know

01:21:56.680 –> 01:21:59.600
Dr. Crusher and you know some of these other

01:21:59.600 –> 01:22:01.279
characters and they would use for the deceased

01:22:01.279 –> 01:22:03.180
actors they would use like some canned audio

01:22:03.180 –> 01:22:06.579
footage for them and then the other ones they

01:22:06.579 –> 01:22:08.319
would just voice you know their character again

01:22:08.319 –> 01:22:14.460
and so the show was really well done I it took

01:22:14.460 –> 01:22:15.880
a while to get used to some of the characters

01:22:15.880 –> 01:22:21.789
but the show is really well And this kind of

01:22:21.789 –> 01:22:25.609
breaks a little bit of the I believe this was

01:22:25.609 –> 01:22:32.189
on Nickelodeon. So it broke the the trauma I

01:22:32.189 –> 01:22:36.470
had prior to the 2021 era. So this this was a

01:22:36.470 –> 01:22:39.310
really good show. It’ll be on my list. Star versus

01:22:39.310 –> 01:22:43.630
the forces of evil. It’s a Cal Arts thing. I

01:22:43.630 –> 01:22:47.909
don’t enjoy it. So. It’s not going to be on my

01:22:47.909 –> 01:22:52.789
list. Star Wars Rebels. That was a spectacular

01:22:52.789 –> 01:22:58.289
show. I genuinely enjoyed this. This was the

01:22:58.289 –> 01:23:01.109
first animated Star Wars show I’d ever watched.

01:23:01.289 –> 01:23:04.149
I didn’t even watch Clone Wars until after this.

01:23:04.810 –> 01:23:09.050
And this was so well done and so well enjoyed

01:23:09.050 –> 01:23:12.069
that I was glad when they started showing up

01:23:12.069 –> 01:23:16.420
in the live action. So this is a good one here.

01:23:17.880 –> 01:23:22.199
Steven Universe, again, CalArts. Not something

01:23:22.199 –> 01:23:24.680
I’m going to enjoy. I tried watching that one,

01:23:24.739 –> 01:23:29.899
too. I quickly shut it off. Just didn’t like

01:23:29.899 –> 01:23:34.659
it. And then Teen Titans Go. I can tolerate this

01:23:34.659 –> 01:23:38.220
one. It’s annoying and kind of stupid, too, like

01:23:38.220 –> 01:23:40.430
some of the other ones. And it’s short and it,

01:23:40.470 –> 01:23:42.710
I believe it uses a lot of the same actors, if

01:23:42.710 –> 01:23:44.890
not all of them from the original team Titans.

01:23:45.770 –> 01:23:48.810
It just makes them kind of reprise. And that’s

01:23:48.810 –> 01:23:53.250
what I thought. Yeah. Uh, it had 437 episodes,

01:23:53.430 –> 01:23:55.670
which is a massive undertaking, but they were

01:23:55.670 –> 01:23:59.409
only like 11 minute episodes. Oh, at least I

01:23:59.409 –> 01:24:01.590
think they were. Yeah. I think there were micro

01:24:01.590 –> 01:24:04.130
episodes. I think the best thing to come out

01:24:04.130 –> 01:24:08.369
of teen Titans ago was the. I don’t know if it

01:24:08.369 –> 01:24:10.850
was direct to video or not, but the Teen Titans

01:24:10.850 –> 01:24:14.050
go to the movies movie like that was the best

01:24:14.050 –> 01:24:16.750
thing that came out of this. So I’ll do you one

01:24:16.750 –> 01:24:22.590
better. They they had a four part episode called

01:24:22.590 –> 01:24:29.510
The Night Begins to Shine. And it was because

01:24:29.510 –> 01:24:31.710
I just rewatched it recently. They basically

01:24:31.710 –> 01:24:34.970
get they play a song and they go into this 80s.

01:24:35.579 –> 01:24:37.920
time warp and it takes them to an alternate land

01:24:37.920 –> 01:24:42.420
and there’s this you know they they play the

01:24:42.420 –> 01:24:47.359
song and they encounter a red dragon in the other

01:24:47.359 –> 01:24:51.020
dimension and it’s voiced none other by david

01:24:51.020 –> 01:24:54.640
k david k yeah and so he’s like the song will

01:24:54.640 –> 01:24:59.279
belong to me all right let’s see what uh what

01:24:59.279 –> 01:25:02.270
comes next after that set of five How am I supposed

01:25:02.270 –> 01:25:05.130
to fight advanced alien technology with a stupid

01:25:05.130 –> 01:25:09.390
stick? Oh, grubby. Don’t go there. I’m on the

01:25:09.390 –> 01:25:14.310
verge. See you in Jollywood. Hoof, the queen,

01:25:14.529 –> 01:25:20.329
magic. Gonna be a long episode. Ma ‘am, do you

01:25:20.329 –> 01:25:21.890
find the new speed bumps in your neighborhood

01:25:21.890 –> 01:25:25.470
a nuisance? Yes, I believe these imported speed

01:25:25.470 –> 01:25:29.069
bumps do not fit the regulation standard. The

01:25:29.069 –> 01:25:31.850
White Lotus has honored my family by coming.

01:25:32.130 –> 01:25:41.210
Thank you. Welcome. We have investigated many

01:25:41.210 –> 01:25:44.369
claims, both here and in the Northern Tribe.

01:25:44.670 –> 01:25:47.550
All have turned out to be false. Someday, when

01:25:47.550 –> 01:25:54.460
your queen… Heads up! Incoming! Kion! Sorry,

01:25:54.520 –> 01:25:57.399
Dad. Me and Bunga were playing baobab ball and

01:25:57.399 –> 01:26:00.859
Kion couldn’t handle the pass. What? A giraffe

01:26:00.859 –> 01:26:03.159
couldn’t handle it. You kicked it over my head.

01:26:03.380 –> 01:26:07.020
Kion. All right. Coming up in this group. Interested

01:26:07.020 –> 01:26:08.939
to hear your guys’ take on this. We have the

01:26:08.939 –> 01:26:13.100
2012 reboot or whatever you would like to call

01:26:13.100 –> 01:26:16.979
of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. So the 2012

01:26:16.979 –> 01:26:19.680
version of Turtles. Another one of those interesting

01:26:19.680 –> 01:26:21.500
conversations that we have sometimes with these

01:26:21.500 –> 01:26:24.989
is. how franchise installments work and do some

01:26:24.989 –> 01:26:27.350
eliminate others or things of that nature. I

01:26:27.350 –> 01:26:29.689
know we had four Spider -Man series in our original

01:26:29.689 –> 01:26:33.689
top 100. This has got to be the third or fourth

01:26:33.689 –> 01:26:35.270
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles that we’ve talked

01:26:35.270 –> 01:26:38.270
about so far in the nominees. We have from 2014,

01:26:38.590 –> 01:26:43.909
the 7D from Disney. We have from 2011, The Amazing

01:26:43.909 –> 01:26:46.550
World of Gumball, which I know is very popular

01:26:46.550 –> 01:26:49.550
in its time. I know this next one we would probably

01:26:49.550 –> 01:26:51.850
get shunned if we don’t include it on our top

01:26:51.850 –> 01:26:54.390
100 list. This would be The Legend of Korra from

01:26:54.390 –> 01:27:00.970
2012. The next thing in the Avatar world, The

01:27:00.970 –> 01:27:03.869
Last Airbender. And then we have from 2016, The

01:27:03.869 –> 01:27:06.289
Lion Guard. So Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,

01:27:06.449 –> 01:27:09.630
The 7D, The Amazing World of Gumball, The Legend

01:27:09.630 –> 01:27:11.810
of Korra, and The Lion Guard. Mike, why don’t

01:27:11.810 –> 01:27:16.560
you start us off on this set of five? boy tmnt

01:27:16.560 –> 01:27:20.880
2012 the first two seasons were really cool they

01:27:20.880 –> 01:27:26.640
were really fun season three something happened

01:27:26.640 –> 01:27:33.840
and i think between season two and season three

01:27:33.840 –> 01:27:39.600
off camera off mic off whatever Jason Biggs did

01:27:39.600 –> 01:27:41.880
a bunch of stupid things because the voice of

01:27:41.880 –> 01:27:46.100
Leonardo is now being played by Seth Green. They

01:27:46.100 –> 01:27:51.560
replaced Jason Biggs with Seth Green in season

01:27:51.560 –> 01:27:57.300
three of TMNT 2012. And I didn’t mind it. I don’t

01:27:57.300 –> 01:28:04.579
mind Seth as a voice actor. TMNT 2012, I only

01:28:04.579 –> 01:28:09.859
really remember… The first two seasons and

01:28:09.859 –> 01:28:13.300
like the first five episodes of the third season,

01:28:13.420 –> 01:28:17.100
I never went back to it. It was just a time thing.

01:28:18.420 –> 01:28:23.460
I just lost track of that show, but I do remember

01:28:23.460 –> 01:28:25.659
watching the first two seasons and I do remember

01:28:25.659 –> 01:28:29.300
really, really enjoying the first two seasons

01:28:29.300 –> 01:28:31.680
of that show. Kevin Michael Richardson as the

01:28:31.680 –> 01:28:36.710
shredder. Uh, you know, you had Rob Paulson returning

01:28:36.710 –> 01:28:40.989
as, as Donatello this time. So you got double

01:28:40.989 –> 01:28:44.289
turtle duty. You got, uh, he was Raph in the

01:28:44.289 –> 01:28:46.649
original series. Now he’s Donnie in the new series

01:28:46.649 –> 01:28:51.270
at the time. Uh, it was a really good show. Seven

01:28:51.270 –> 01:28:55.829
D thank God. Finally, something without the burdens

01:28:55.829 –> 01:29:00.369
of the. We must wake her from her poisoning.

01:29:00.529 –> 01:29:03.270
We must do this. We must do that. The cool thing

01:29:03.270 –> 01:29:07.310
about Disney’s The 7 -D is it’s the dwarfs with

01:29:07.310 –> 01:29:10.149
all the fun and shenanigans they have without

01:29:10.149 –> 01:29:13.069
Snow White and all the rest of the BS of that

01:29:13.069 –> 01:29:21.170
stuff. In The 7 -D, you have Billy West. You

01:29:21.170 –> 01:29:25.050
have Kevin Michael Richardson. You have Maurice

01:29:25.050 –> 01:29:29.590
LaMarche. d bradley baker trying to remember

01:29:29.590 –> 01:29:35.470
them all bill farmer you’ve got all the uh steven

01:29:35.470 –> 01:29:38.430
stanton you get all these amazing voice actors

01:29:38.430 –> 01:29:43.890
playing the seven dwarfs you’ve got lee ellen

01:29:43.890 –> 01:29:47.850
baker playing queen delightful you’ve got i think

01:29:47.850 –> 01:29:53.949
paul rug plays uh lord starchbottom i think but

01:29:53.949 –> 01:29:58.510
it’s basically just the seven dwarves doing their

01:29:58.510 –> 01:30:02.470
adventures and having fun. And it’s just an amazing

01:30:02.470 –> 01:30:04.869
show that should have gotten more than two seasons.

01:30:04.930 –> 01:30:08.909
It was done by Tom Ruger, same guy that did tiny

01:30:08.909 –> 01:30:11.390
tunes and Animaniacs and a pup named Scooby -Doo.

01:30:11.510 –> 01:30:15.310
So it’s that same type of humor. And it’s just

01:30:15.310 –> 01:30:18.789
hilarious. You got Billy West playing, playing

01:30:18.789 –> 01:30:23.949
bashful. Just. It’s just hilarious. It’s just

01:30:23.949 –> 01:30:25.689
absolutely hilarious. I absolutely love that

01:30:25.689 –> 01:30:29.390
show. I’ve only seen a handful of episodes of

01:30:29.390 –> 01:30:32.149
Gumball, never seen Korra, never seen Airbender.

01:30:32.710 –> 01:30:35.829
Lion Guard, is that the Lion King follow -up?

01:30:36.210 –> 01:30:40.989
Yes. I saw one or two episodes of it, but I never

01:30:40.989 –> 01:30:44.149
saw… I wanted to watch more of it, but I just

01:30:44.149 –> 01:30:47.010
never did. All right. Steve, what do you think

01:30:47.010 –> 01:30:49.729
of this out of five? Ninja Turtles is a lock

01:30:49.729 –> 01:30:53.710
for me. I’ve loved this series, the 2003 and

01:30:53.710 –> 01:30:57.949
the 87. It’s CGI. They also have an episode where

01:30:57.949 –> 01:31:02.789
they touch on the 87 turtles and Krang. And so

01:31:02.789 –> 01:31:05.050
that that was fun, too. You get a little bit

01:31:05.050 –> 01:31:07.850
different background with the Utroms and Shredder

01:31:07.850 –> 01:31:11.430
and a lot of fun fits in the same vein. The 7D.

01:31:12.750 –> 01:31:16.350
I’ll give it a shot. I am not familiar with it.

01:31:16.390 –> 01:31:20.880
I mean, I know I know Mike loves the show. Again,

01:31:21.659 –> 01:31:24.699
it kind of boils down to an animation thing for

01:31:24.699 –> 01:31:28.720
me, too. Okay. I’ll give you two hints here,

01:31:28.880 –> 01:31:33.340
okay? I’ll give you one thing. Think what would

01:31:33.340 –> 01:31:38.920
happen if you took Grumpy the Dwarf and meshed

01:31:38.920 –> 01:31:44.319
in Brain from Animaniacs. So it’s Maurice LaMarche

01:31:44.319 –> 01:31:47.899
voicing Grumpy. So think of it as the Brain.

01:31:48.890 –> 01:31:53.850
But he’s grumpy all the time. And him and Happy,

01:31:54.029 –> 01:31:57.909
who is voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson, always,

01:31:58.010 –> 01:32:01.229
they’re basically the Laurel and Hardy or the

01:32:01.229 –> 01:32:03.409
Abbott and Costello to each other throughout

01:32:03.409 –> 01:32:09.670
the whole show. I’ll give it a shot. Anyway,

01:32:09.930 –> 01:32:13.609
The Amazing World of Gumball. I hate this animation.

01:32:13.909 –> 01:32:19.480
And I did try and watch an episode of it. Yeah.

01:32:19.480 –> 01:32:22.920
So moving on from that, the Legend of Korra,

01:32:23.060 –> 01:32:26.380
the animation looks really well done, especially

01:32:26.380 –> 01:32:29.180
for a Nickelodeon show. Yeah. I will give this

01:32:29.180 –> 01:32:31.460
one a shot. So I have nothing to say on it right

01:32:31.460 –> 01:32:34.760
now. The Lion Guard I have seen, though. My kids

01:32:34.760 –> 01:32:37.359
liked it, got really into it, knew the whole

01:32:37.359 –> 01:32:43.680
mythos. So you get Rob Lowe playing Simba. I’ve

01:32:43.680 –> 01:32:46.039
seen this one enough that it’s pretty good and

01:32:46.039 –> 01:32:47.920
kind of stays true, but it kind of reinvents

01:32:47.920 –> 01:32:54.140
the whole Lion King. It’s definitely not a translation

01:32:54.140 –> 01:32:58.720
from the films to an animated series. It definitely

01:32:58.720 –> 01:33:00.760
progresses the timeline, and then you get a lot

01:33:00.760 –> 01:33:03.939
of the hyenas and a lot of the other characters’

01:33:04.199 –> 01:33:06.899
natural progression in the show, so it’s very

01:33:06.899 –> 01:33:11.069
fitting. Not on my list, but… I mean, it may

01:33:11.069 –> 01:33:13.289
end up on my list. I don’t know. It’s definitely

01:33:13.289 –> 01:33:16.550
deserving, too. Rob Lowe, Austin Powers number

01:33:16.550 –> 01:33:25.109
two as Simba? I can’t envision that. For me,

01:33:25.189 –> 01:33:27.850
I got to watch a little bit more of the 2012

01:33:27.850 –> 01:33:31.130
Turtles to distinguish how many turtle spots

01:33:31.130 –> 01:33:33.909
I have on my countdown and if it deserves to

01:33:33.909 –> 01:33:37.909
be in there or not. The 7D, I really enjoy. It’s

01:33:37.909 –> 01:33:39.720
going to be a numbers thing, whether that makes

01:33:39.720 –> 01:33:42.020
the countdown or not. I’ve not seen Amazing World

01:33:42.020 –> 01:33:44.880
of Gumball. I know on Reputation Legend of Korra

01:33:44.880 –> 01:33:49.260
probably belongs along with Avatar The Last Airbender.

01:33:49.800 –> 01:33:52.479
Lion Guard I think is fun. I’ve seen a little

01:33:52.479 –> 01:33:54.020
bit of that with my daughter and things of that

01:33:54.020 –> 01:33:55.340
nature. I don’t think there’s anything wrong

01:33:55.340 –> 01:33:57.420
with the show. I don’t know if there will be

01:33:57.420 –> 01:34:00.359
room in a top 100 for it, but that doesn’t mean

01:34:00.359 –> 01:34:03.220
there’s anything wrong with it. Alright, we’re

01:34:03.220 –> 01:34:04.920
down to our final 10. Let’s see what the first

01:34:04.920 –> 01:34:08.239
half of that 10 holds. One was so good, it deserves

01:34:08.239 –> 01:34:11.239
a cookie. Oh, thanks. So anyway, what’s one light

01:34:11.239 –> 01:34:14.340
bulb say to the other? You’re glowing. I already

01:34:14.340 –> 01:34:17.180
told you that one? No, dude. You are glowing.

01:34:18.560 –> 01:34:21.380
Lionel, come in, come in. I have something for

01:34:21.380 –> 01:34:26.140
you. Jorma here sells certain hard -to -find

01:34:26.140 –> 01:34:30.779
collectibles. You mean black market items. They’re

01:34:30.779 –> 01:34:36.020
more than that. What is all this? It’s what’s

01:34:36.020 –> 01:34:39.640
out there. beyond fundera’s walls where are we

01:34:39.640 –> 01:34:53.039
megatronus don’t you remember old friend that

01:34:53.039 –> 01:34:57.500
will not be necessary or possible cybertron is

01:34:57.500 –> 01:35:05.989
no longer our home this planet is Kanjigar. A

01:35:05.989 –> 01:35:11.029
troll hunter never yields. I’d rather die. Terms

01:35:11.029 –> 01:35:14.829
accepted. For the first half of that 10 shows

01:35:14.829 –> 01:35:17.670
that we have left to make our nominees for this

01:35:17.670 –> 01:35:20.149
episode, we start off with The Loud House from

01:35:20.149 –> 01:35:24.829
2016. That has over 260 episodes. We have the

01:35:24.829 –> 01:35:29.529
2011 version of The Thundercats, followed by

01:35:29.529 –> 01:35:32.369
the 2010 version of Transformers. This one was

01:35:32.369 –> 01:35:34.909
called Transformers Prime. Speaking of The Hub,

01:35:35.029 –> 01:35:37.949
we have another Transformers show, Rescue Bots,

01:35:38.250 –> 01:35:42.750
and then we have Troll Hunters from 2016, which

01:35:42.750 –> 01:35:45.550
I believe was a Netflix show. I could be wrong

01:35:45.550 –> 01:35:49.569
on that. For me, I have not seen The Loud House

01:35:49.569 –> 01:35:52.449
or Troll Hunters yet, so I’ll have to give those

01:35:52.449 –> 01:35:57.189
a shot. Out of the other three, to me, Thundercats

01:35:57.189 –> 01:36:01.369
from 2011 is a lot like G .I. Joe Renegades in

01:36:01.369 –> 01:36:04.500
the fact that… It gets cut off before it gets

01:36:04.500 –> 01:36:07.380
to like do its full thing. So I don’t know if

01:36:07.380 –> 01:36:11.859
for me that will give it enough to warrant being

01:36:11.859 –> 01:36:14.000
on the list, even though I really did enjoy what

01:36:14.000 –> 01:36:17.739
we got from it. Transformers Prime, if I have

01:36:17.739 –> 01:36:20.020
enough room for another Transformers show, that

01:36:20.020 –> 01:36:22.340
would probably be the one that I would add in

01:36:22.340 –> 01:36:24.979
there along with the original and Beast Wars.

01:36:25.840 –> 01:36:27.840
slash beast machines would have a chance it would

01:36:27.840 –> 01:36:30.800
probably be between beast machines and transformers

01:36:30.800 –> 01:36:33.539
prime on on which if i have room for a third

01:36:33.539 –> 01:36:36.960
one transformers rescue bot has no chance in

01:36:36.960 –> 01:36:39.720
hell for making my list just because of this

01:36:39.720 –> 01:36:42.760
thing i if i only am allowing so many transformers

01:36:42.760 –> 01:36:45.670
shows like rescue bots is I would probably put

01:36:45.670 –> 01:36:47.609
in animated before I put in rescue bots. It’s

01:36:47.609 –> 01:36:50.350
just not my thing. No, I’m just kidding. I don’t

01:36:50.350 –> 01:36:51.970
know. I don’t, I’m not a big fan of either of

01:36:51.970 –> 01:36:54.109
those, but I am a big fan of transformers prime.

01:36:54.229 –> 01:36:55.750
So I don’t know, Steve, what do you think of

01:36:55.750 –> 01:37:00.390
this set of five? So the loud house again, it’s

01:37:00.390 –> 01:37:06.970
Cal art style. No. Thundercats. This one, I’m

01:37:06.970 –> 01:37:11.390
inclined to say that it deserves a spot, even

01:37:11.390 –> 01:37:14.899
though it’s not like, and. like a really ongoing

01:37:14.899 –> 01:37:21.680
here. And well, yes, it, you know, it did get

01:37:21.680 –> 01:37:25.880
on streaming and it was a Cartoon Network thing.

01:37:25.920 –> 01:37:27.619
Cartoon Network kind of screwed the pooch on

01:37:27.619 –> 01:37:31.060
it. Yeah, I think that it was definitely promising,

01:37:31.239 –> 01:37:34.819
kind of like Renegades. Like it, it had the had

01:37:34.819 –> 01:37:37.800
the legs to go. They just studio Transformers

01:37:37.800 –> 01:37:41.319
Prime. I. This one’s this one’s weird for me

01:37:41.319 –> 01:37:45.399
because I enjoyed it at the time. And this was

01:37:45.399 –> 01:37:48.319
one of the hub shows. I mean, you get Colin is

01:37:48.319 –> 01:37:53.319
his prime Welkers Megatron. Steve Bloom is Starscream.

01:37:54.699 –> 01:37:58.960
And then, you know, Jeffrey Combs and David Soboloff.

01:37:59.000 –> 01:38:01.000
And yeah, so, I mean, you get all these actors

01:38:01.000 –> 01:38:03.819
in there and they’re great. And the story is

01:38:03.819 –> 01:38:08.210
great. And the animation is is as well. But I

01:38:08.210 –> 01:38:10.649
found like the longer it went, the more I kind

01:38:10.649 –> 01:38:14.510
of lost interest. Fair enough. So like I while

01:38:14.510 –> 01:38:18.689
I could vote for it and I probably will. It it’s

01:38:18.689 –> 01:38:22.789
it’s difficult for me. Rescue bots. I enjoyed

01:38:22.789 –> 01:38:26.909
as a. From the parent perspective of watching

01:38:26.909 –> 01:38:30.210
Transformers with my kids like. Getting them

01:38:30.210 –> 01:38:32.350
in this and they of course collected the characters

01:38:32.350 –> 01:38:35.789
and everything. So it was cool having Colin.

01:38:36.279 –> 01:38:39.699
jump in there and bumblebee and you know occasionally

01:38:39.699 –> 01:38:44.479
so they i mean my kids enjoyed it it had 104

01:38:44.479 –> 01:38:47.140
episodes four seasons so it it definitely was

01:38:47.140 –> 01:38:48.960
warranted when it went to rescue bot academy

01:38:48.960 –> 01:38:51.479
that’s where i felt like it kind of fell off

01:38:51.479 –> 01:38:55.020
uh the cliff because it was kind of continuing

01:38:55.020 –> 01:38:58.699
but not really and they changed all of the voice

01:38:58.699 –> 01:39:02.420
cast to uh non -union at that point so everybody

01:39:02.420 –> 01:39:06.970
that’s in this show is gone so steve bloom’s

01:39:06.970 –> 01:39:10.489
gone yeah so so yeah i mean i can see this one

01:39:10.489 –> 01:39:12.390
being on there especially if you know you get

01:39:12.390 –> 01:39:16.109
kids and have seen it and then of course troll

01:39:16.109 –> 01:39:20.710
hunters it’s a it’s a dream works it’s it’s got

01:39:20.710 –> 01:39:24.170
good actors in it for one but i don’t foresee

01:39:24.170 –> 01:39:26.350
me doing this just because i’m not a huge fan

01:39:26.350 –> 01:39:31.109
of trolls anyway or like these mystical universe

01:39:31.109 –> 01:39:34.960
type stuff makes sense Mike, what do you think?

01:39:35.100 –> 01:39:38.640
I think the Loud House is probably the only CalArts

01:39:38.640 –> 01:39:42.619
style animation show that I would vote for because

01:39:42.619 –> 01:39:46.420
I remember when that came out and I liked the

01:39:46.420 –> 01:39:49.619
premise of it and I thought it was cool at the

01:39:49.619 –> 01:39:52.979
time. Between Thundercats 2011, Transformers

01:39:52.979 –> 01:39:55.159
Prime, and Transformers Rescue Bots, at least

01:39:55.159 –> 01:39:57.420
the first part of Transformers Rescue Bots, not

01:39:57.420 –> 01:40:01.220
Academy, you have one voice actor connecting

01:40:01.220 –> 01:40:04.859
all three. Because the end of Transformers Prime,

01:40:05.020 –> 01:40:09.619
after three seasons, we get the most shocking

01:40:09.619 –> 01:40:14.840
reveal of the entire series. Batman Beyond is

01:40:14.840 –> 01:40:21.100
the voice of Bumblebee. I was not expecting,

01:40:21.300 –> 01:40:24.819
after three seasons, Will Friedle to show up

01:40:24.819 –> 01:40:27.220
as being the voice of Bumblebee in Transformers

01:40:27.220 –> 01:40:30.500
Prime. Obviously, he’s the voice of Lion -O in

01:40:30.500 –> 01:40:33.810
Thundercats 2011. because transformers prime

01:40:33.810 –> 01:40:37.170
rolls into rescue bots because we all love to

01:40:37.170 –> 01:40:39.210
roll the rescue bots around here go check out

01:40:39.210 –> 01:40:41.329
michael wilson’s old youtube channel for roll

01:40:41.329 –> 01:40:45.670
the rescue bots and uh and you know he continues

01:40:45.670 –> 01:40:49.310
to voice bumblebee in that and yeah uh and same

01:40:49.310 –> 01:40:54.170
thing with steve i i don’t do trolls i there

01:40:54.170 –> 01:40:56.289
ain’t no billy but billy goats gruff around here

01:40:56.289 –> 01:41:04.020
so yeah Alright, alright. Did Kevin Michael Richardson

01:41:04.020 –> 01:41:09.119
not appear in Rescue Bots ever? Uh, Bulkhead?

01:41:09.300 –> 01:41:13.199
I don’t remember. I don’t think so. I was going

01:41:13.199 –> 01:41:15.220
to say, otherwise he connects them all too. That’s

01:41:15.220 –> 01:41:18.460
true too. Alright, so five shows left for the

01:41:18.460 –> 01:41:21.180
nominations for this era. Let’s see what they

01:41:21.180 –> 01:41:27.699
are. Fine. Pimps, go right. Lance, go left. Keith,

01:41:27.859 –> 01:41:30.539
make me a sandwich. Stat. Yes, you heard me.

01:41:30.619 –> 01:41:33.260
I’m the leader now, dang it. All right, you’re

01:41:33.260 –> 01:41:36.199
not the one. Out of the line. Oh, man, this store

01:41:36.199 –> 01:41:38.239
has the best furniture. I can’t wait to put together

01:41:38.239 –> 01:41:42.140
a new, um… Pimps Max doll. Right, that thing.

01:41:42.300 –> 01:41:45.720
Ice Bear needs this. I am the Watcher. I am your

01:41:45.720 –> 01:41:49.359
guide through these vast new realities. Follow

01:41:49.359 –> 01:41:54.979
me and ponder the question, what if? Hey, it’s

01:41:54.979 –> 01:41:58.039
me, Martin, half of the Krat brothers. When it’s

01:41:58.039 –> 01:42:00.279
raining outside, a lot of people are like, oh

01:42:00.279 –> 01:42:04.380
no, it’s too wet, I’m staying inside. Oh, boy

01:42:04.380 –> 01:42:07.899
wonder. The bat sent you to drag me off to prison.

01:42:08.439 –> 01:42:11.380
Frankly, I’m underwhelmed. First time at the

01:42:11.380 –> 01:42:14.619
hall, I’m a little overwhelmed. You’re overwhelmed,

01:42:14.960 –> 01:42:17.079
Freeze was underwhelmed, why isn’t anyone ever

01:42:17.079 –> 01:42:19.949
just whelmed? We start off this section with

01:42:19.949 –> 01:42:23.010
the 2016 version of Voltron. This one was called

01:42:23.010 –> 01:42:27.189
Voltron Legendary Defender. We have We Bare Bears,

01:42:27.489 –> 01:42:29.090
which is kind of hard to say if you say it fast.

01:42:29.210 –> 01:42:32.909
That’s from 2015. That aired over 140 episodes.

01:42:33.050 –> 01:42:37.670
We have What If?, another entrance from the 2020s,

01:42:37.670 –> 01:42:41.649
2021 specifically. We have Wild Kratts from 2011,

01:42:42.029 –> 01:42:44.989
over 150 episodes of that. And then we have Young

01:42:44.989 –> 01:42:49.560
Justice from 2010, another 2010. show makes an

01:42:49.560 –> 01:42:52.840
appearance so voltron legendary defender we bear

01:42:52.840 –> 01:42:56.279
bears what if dot dot dot question mark wild

01:42:56.279 –> 01:42:58.840
kratts and young justice mike what do you think

01:42:58.840 –> 01:43:03.399
you are saying wild kratts and not cats right

01:43:03.399 –> 01:43:06.140
correct wild kratts the kratts crap brothers

01:43:06.140 –> 01:43:09.479
i don’t know whatever it’s like a nature slash

01:43:09.479 –> 01:43:12.359
yeah yeah no i just just want to make sure i’m

01:43:12.359 –> 01:43:14.380
hearing what i just want to make sure my ears

01:43:14.380 –> 01:43:17.979
are working properly because i’m half blind anyway

01:43:17.979 –> 01:43:22.239
uh legendary defender i think my buddy joe reed

01:43:22.239 –> 01:43:24.500
and i did a couple of episodes of tooncast on

01:43:24.500 –> 01:43:27.319
that on the first two seasons i enjoyed it for

01:43:27.319 –> 01:43:30.560
what it was i honestly don’t remember it at this

01:43:30.560 –> 01:43:33.359
point in time right now as we’re doing this recording

01:43:33.359 –> 01:43:38.539
but it was a good updating of voltron i’ve only

01:43:38.539 –> 01:43:43.739
seen we bear bears in clips i’ve never actively

01:43:43.739 –> 01:43:47.619
watched that show what if is amazing friends

01:43:47.619 –> 01:43:52.520
of mine and i did episodes of of tooncast i think

01:43:52.520 –> 01:43:54.600
it was i think i think it was true yeah most

01:43:54.600 –> 01:43:57.920
likely tooncast i’m trying to remember how do

01:43:57.920 –> 01:44:02.079
we do that how do we do the first first two seasons

01:44:02.079 –> 01:44:04.619
i know we haven’t done season three yet we’ve

01:44:04.619 –> 01:44:08.920
got podcasts somewhere obviously since i Didn’t

01:44:08.920 –> 01:44:10.420
even know what the hell he said, folks. I have

01:44:10.420 –> 01:44:14.000
no idea what the Wild Kratts is. And then Young

01:44:14.000 –> 01:44:16.680
Justice is great. Young Justice is very awesome.

01:44:18.180 –> 01:44:21.479
All right. I will have to give Voltron a chance.

01:44:21.619 –> 01:44:23.779
I’m not the biggest Voltron fan in the world,

01:44:23.819 –> 01:44:27.140
just like the franchise overall. And I get them

01:44:27.140 –> 01:44:28.880
all confused. I feel like there’s been a lot

01:44:28.880 –> 01:44:30.779
of them that seem to blend together. But I should

01:44:30.779 –> 01:44:33.539
give that one a chance. I’ve never seen any of

01:44:33.539 –> 01:44:35.899
We Bare Bears, What If, or Young Justice. So

01:44:35.899 –> 01:44:37.380
I’ll have to figure out which ones I want to

01:44:37.380 –> 01:44:40.810
give a shot to. Wild Kratts is a great show for

01:44:40.810 –> 01:44:43.930
a younger audience. It’s definitely very much

01:44:43.930 –> 01:44:49.090
like nature knowledge, like teaching people about

01:44:49.090 –> 01:44:51.229
nature and animals and things like that. They

01:44:51.229 –> 01:44:54.630
had a live action version before that, the Krat

01:44:54.630 –> 01:44:56.989
brothers. And then this is like the animated

01:44:56.989 –> 01:44:59.529
version. My daughter loves it. I don’t know if

01:44:59.529 –> 01:45:01.569
it’s something I would vote for. I do know that

01:45:01.569 –> 01:45:03.890
Young Justice out of these five is probably the

01:45:03.890 –> 01:45:07.340
most acclaimed. but I have not seen it. So Steve,

01:45:07.380 –> 01:45:08.779
what do you think about this last set of five?

01:45:10.819 –> 01:45:16.520
Well, Voltron legendary defender. I saw, I think

01:45:16.520 –> 01:45:20.439
the first few episodes when it came out on, I

01:45:20.439 –> 01:45:22.220
believe it was on Netflix when it first came

01:45:22.220 –> 01:45:28.239
out. Yeah. Okay. That’s what I thought. And it’s

01:45:28.239 –> 01:45:34.920
funny, Josh Keaton in there. Yeah, I did watch

01:45:34.920 –> 01:45:37.680
some of this initially when it came out, and

01:45:37.680 –> 01:45:39.640
I enjoyed what I saw. I think I just, I’m not

01:45:39.640 –> 01:45:44.479
a huge Voltron fan, so I kind of just, I kind

01:45:44.479 –> 01:45:47.619
of turned out of the show at that point. But

01:45:47.619 –> 01:45:49.460
it did go on eight seasons, so there is that.

01:45:50.640 –> 01:45:54.039
We Bare Bears, CalArts, it just, I’ve never heard

01:45:54.039 –> 01:45:55.920
of it before this, but honestly, I don’t see

01:45:55.920 –> 01:45:58.859
me watching it, even though it had 140 episodes.

01:46:00.659 –> 01:46:03.949
Just… doesn’t look like something i would enjoy

01:46:03.949 –> 01:46:08.649
uh what if was really well done great graphics

01:46:08.649 –> 01:46:11.909
great story great uh jumping through the multiverse

01:46:11.909 –> 01:46:18.789
uh this one i feel like was just kind of a slam

01:46:18.789 –> 01:46:21.949
dunk just great overall especially if you’re

01:46:21.949 –> 01:46:23.909
you know well versed in a lot of the stuff with

01:46:23.909 –> 01:46:27.779
the marvel cinematic universe you know forget

01:46:27.779 –> 01:46:29.960
this forget the other series like if you’ve seen

01:46:29.960 –> 01:46:32.159
all the films like this you’ll be able to okay

01:46:32.159 –> 01:46:37.619
kind of track with this uh the wild crats my

01:46:37.619 –> 01:46:39.960
kids watch this one for a while i was familiar

01:46:39.960 –> 01:46:41.880
with the original show that these guys were a

01:46:41.880 –> 01:46:47.560
part of which was the zabu mafu yeah uh so i

01:46:47.560 –> 01:46:50.420
was i was familiar with that at that time and

01:46:50.420 –> 01:46:53.479
my my kids watched the show and enjoyed it and

01:46:54.189 –> 01:46:57.270
uh i think it definitely lands pretty well i

01:46:57.270 –> 01:47:02.409
mean they get to almost like wonder twin power

01:47:02.409 –> 01:47:06.090
activate type thing with their with their powers

01:47:06.090 –> 01:47:08.409
for you know becoming the animals or beast boy

01:47:08.409 –> 01:47:10.430
or you know something so i mean it kind of works

01:47:10.430 –> 01:47:12.890
in that realm and you get to learn something

01:47:12.890 –> 01:47:15.970
about the animals so it’s it’s cool uh young

01:47:15.970 –> 01:47:20.739
justice was an interesting new take, kind of

01:47:20.739 –> 01:47:23.000
like a Lower Decks for the Justice League. And

01:47:23.000 –> 01:47:25.100
you kind of get, instead of the Teen Titans,

01:47:25.159 –> 01:47:26.539
you get something a little bit more grown up

01:47:26.539 –> 01:47:30.560
than that. And occasionally the Justice League

01:47:30.560 –> 01:47:32.520
would show up and different things would happen.

01:47:34.439 –> 01:47:38.020
Went on 98 episodes, four seasons. I actually

01:47:38.020 –> 01:47:39.760
have a couple of signed scripts from this one

01:47:39.760 –> 01:47:43.760
because I met Greg Wiseman at a convention years

01:47:43.760 –> 01:47:47.729
ago. But yeah, I mean, the show was pretty cool

01:47:47.729 –> 01:47:50.430
and it was it was interesting. And I watched

01:47:50.430 –> 01:47:52.229
it through, I think, season three in the night.

01:47:52.289 –> 01:47:54.770
I think I just didn’t have whatever station it

01:47:54.770 –> 01:47:57.550
was on at the time to finish it. So I haven’t

01:47:57.550 –> 01:48:00.890
actually finished it to this day. Right. It was

01:48:00.890 –> 01:48:03.449
on Cartoon Network, I think, for its entire run

01:48:03.449 –> 01:48:08.789
at the time. And I think now it’s probably. Probably

01:48:08.789 –> 01:48:14.000
on HBO Max. It is. All right. So that concludes

01:48:14.000 –> 01:48:18.020
the 50 episodes or 50 series, excuse me, that

01:48:18.020 –> 01:48:21.100
are eligible from today’s episode. Also concludes

01:48:21.100 –> 01:48:25.180
the 250 episodes or shows that we have revealed

01:48:25.180 –> 01:48:28.880
in our different episodes with all of our nominees.

01:48:29.060 –> 01:48:32.920
So looking at just the ones from today, Steve,

01:48:33.119 –> 01:48:35.000
is there anything that just really jumps off

01:48:35.000 –> 01:48:37.760
the page at you from the last 15 years? And also,

01:48:37.779 –> 01:48:41.279
do you have a prediction? how many of these more

01:48:41.279 –> 01:48:43.760
recent shows may actually have enough to crack

01:48:43.760 –> 01:48:47.460
our top 100? I think at least 25 of these are

01:48:47.460 –> 01:48:51.800
going to pop into the top 100. I think there’s

01:48:51.800 –> 01:48:55.319
a lot in here that are high contenders. From

01:48:55.319 –> 01:48:58.000
each block, if I had to pick one from each block

01:48:58.000 –> 01:49:01.439
that is going to stand out, I would say either

01:49:01.439 –> 01:49:04.619
Bob’s Burgers or Adventure Time for the first

01:49:04.619 –> 01:49:09.829
block. I could see Dragon Ball Super or Bojack

01:49:09.829 –> 01:49:13.529
being from that block. From the next one, I could

01:49:13.529 –> 01:49:16.909
see Gravity Falls and Invincible. From the next

01:49:16.909 –> 01:49:20.250
block after that, I could see the Masters of

01:49:20.250 –> 01:49:24.869
the Universe or Kung Fu Panda, My Little Pony

01:49:24.869 –> 01:49:30.649
and Paw Patrol, Rick and Morty, and either Regular

01:49:30.649 –> 01:49:35.449
Show or Lower Decks, Star Trek Prodigy, Star

01:49:35.449 –> 01:49:38.579
Wars Rebels, or Steven Universe. And then, like,

01:49:38.680 –> 01:49:45.859
the Turtles and Legend of Korra. Probably, I

01:49:45.859 –> 01:49:48.619
could see Trollhunters and, you know, the Transformers

01:49:48.619 –> 01:49:50.699
Prime and then, you know, probably, like, definitely

01:49:50.699 –> 01:49:53.199
What If and probably Wild Kratts. So, I mean,

01:49:53.220 –> 01:49:55.680
I can see, like, definitely at least 20 of these,

01:49:55.760 –> 01:49:59.439
20 to 25 being the high contenders to take some

01:49:59.439 –> 01:50:04.079
of the other ones out in this. Do you think it

01:50:04.079 –> 01:50:07.939
ranks as… I know we talked about it a little

01:50:07.939 –> 01:50:12.359
bit with the 90s and the 2000s. Which of these

01:50:12.359 –> 01:50:14.359
three time periods that are the most recent do

01:50:14.359 –> 01:50:16.840
you think reign supreme and what order do they

01:50:16.840 –> 01:50:23.939
go in? Which top three? Do you think the 90s

01:50:23.939 –> 01:50:27.079
will have the most, the 2000s, or this group?

01:50:28.100 –> 01:50:33.210
That’s going to be tough. I can see… I would

01:50:33.210 –> 01:50:38.909
almost argue that this would almost rival the

01:50:38.909 –> 01:50:43.689
nineties. Yep. I agree. I think the 2010s, I

01:50:43.689 –> 01:50:45.550
think are going to kind of rival the eighties.

01:50:45.550 –> 01:50:47.890
And then I think, you know, anything pre eighties

01:50:47.890 –> 01:50:51.229
is probably going to get wiped out, uh, in comparison

01:50:51.229 –> 01:50:56.590
to the nineties, two thousands and 2010s on up.

01:50:57.330 –> 01:50:59.810
The 80s, I feel like, is going to be the kind

01:50:59.810 –> 01:51:01.789
of outlier. There’ll probably be some that are

01:51:01.789 –> 01:51:03.590
familiar with it, but I think that a lot of the

01:51:03.590 –> 01:51:07.050
pre -1980s are going to get wiped out. Mike,

01:51:07.109 –> 01:51:08.890
what do you think? Do you think 25 is a good

01:51:08.890 –> 01:51:12.369
guess for this group or less or more? I’m going

01:51:12.369 –> 01:51:16.630
to say 21 just to be on average, but I don’t

01:51:16.630 –> 01:51:21.880
disagree that 25 could be the key factor. Yeah,

01:51:21.920 –> 01:51:24.239
a lot of it will depend on the age of the panel

01:51:24.239 –> 01:51:26.399
and everybody we get to vote. There always is

01:51:26.399 –> 01:51:28.720
some recency bias that can play a part, you know,

01:51:28.739 –> 01:51:32.399
what’s in the closest to the top of your mind

01:51:32.399 –> 01:51:34.340
and things of that nature. I think Steve, you

01:51:34.340 –> 01:51:37.539
know, just definitely rattled off. 20 shows 22

01:51:37.539 –> 01:51:40.140
23 shows when he was just naming them from each

01:51:40.140 –> 01:51:42.119
block that you could think would be pretty heavy

01:51:42.119 –> 01:51:45.020
contenders so i could definitely see it going

01:51:45.020 –> 01:51:47.159
that way um it’s going to be interesting to see

01:51:47.159 –> 01:51:49.739
you know which ones from our original one get

01:51:49.739 –> 01:51:53.100
booted and how much does it correlate to how

01:51:53.100 –> 01:51:55.699
many of these get in no there won’t be a one

01:51:55.699 –> 01:51:57.739
-to -one ratio because there may be some others

01:51:57.739 –> 01:52:00.279
that have just faded more over time or some that

01:52:00.279 –> 01:52:03.539
you know were from the 2000s maybe that had had

01:52:03.539 –> 01:52:07.000
more time to gain strength. So it’s going to

01:52:07.000 –> 01:52:09.479
be interesting to see how this all plays out.

01:52:09.579 –> 01:52:13.399
Mike, we’ve revealed 250 shows. There may be

01:52:13.399 –> 01:52:20.140
a listener out there that is thinking during

01:52:20.140 –> 01:52:22.979
one of the nomination episodes that we’ve recorded

01:52:22.979 –> 01:52:27.079
that we left something out or a show they really

01:52:27.079 –> 01:52:31.119
liked didn’t make it. What do you say to those

01:52:31.119 –> 01:52:34.369
folks? So there will be a follow -up episode

01:52:34.369 –> 01:52:38.130
at some point where we are going to give you

01:52:38.130 –> 01:52:45.149
a chance of voting. To add some more additional

01:52:45.149 –> 01:52:49.010
shows to the 250. Yes, but we don’t know how

01:52:49.010 –> 01:52:51.090
that’s going to happen right now because we haven’t

01:52:51.090 –> 01:52:53.329
even figured that out at this point in time at

01:52:53.329 –> 01:52:59.500
almost midnight. We’re going to put a pin in

01:52:59.500 –> 01:53:02.640
that for now. Don’t get the pitchforks out yet

01:53:02.640 –> 01:53:04.119
because you’re going to have a chance. If you

01:53:04.119 –> 01:53:07.119
feel like a show got snubbed, you may have a

01:53:07.119 –> 01:53:09.960
second chance. Yeah, exactly. There will be a

01:53:09.960 –> 01:53:12.479
second chance podcast coming up with all the

01:53:12.479 –> 01:53:16.020
information and everything else. So don’t be

01:53:16.020 –> 01:53:18.520
like Homer and Bart and everybody else and put

01:53:18.520 –> 01:53:21.640
your torches and pitchforks away. This isn’t

01:53:21.640 –> 01:53:26.659
the Simpsons movie. And before we let you go.

01:53:27.420 –> 01:53:30.539
As I said at the top of the show, this was just

01:53:30.539 –> 01:53:33.899
a taste of things to come. This is giving everyone

01:53:33.899 –> 01:53:37.060
an appetizer of what we have in store. No choices

01:53:37.060 –> 01:53:40.220
have been made. No ballots have been cast. No

01:53:40.220 –> 01:53:43.619
dies have been thrown. After all, this isn’t

01:53:43.619 –> 01:53:46.720
Dungeons & Dragons, thank God. That show was

01:53:46.720 –> 01:53:53.199
horrible. Any final thoughts from you, Steve,

01:53:53.319 –> 01:53:56.180
or you, Kevin, before I run down the closing?

01:53:57.960 –> 01:54:04.020
I’m good. Nope. All right. Thank you for listening

follow -up show. Most likely that’s what we’re

01:54:36.569 –> 01:54:39.810

  • Hey, I don’t want to overwhelm your projects with solely my comments, so hopefully this is my last (at least until your next post). For this batch, I do enjoy the way you guys include lesser-known series like Niko and Kulipari (never heard of the latter).

    However, this list has too few entries post-2020 (I think you had like 4?). The most notable ones that you left off are Arcane (2021 – many considered one of the best game adaptation ever), The Legend of Vox Machina (2022) (based on a group of real-life voice actors playing Dungeon & Dragons and recorded the campaign), X-Men ‘97 (2024) (I am surprised you left off the last one given how much you all love the original 1992 show, and, if the eligible criteria is “a show at least complete 1 season to be qualified)”, then this one has to make it.

    By the same token, these 2025 shows finish their first season’s run and could be neat contenders: Long Story Short (2025) and Common Side Effect (2025). Other notable shows post-2020 are: Kipo and the Age of Wonderbeast (2020), The Owl House (2020), Kid Cosmic (2021), Scavengers Reign (2023), Blue Eye Samurai (2023), Adventure Time: Fiona & Cake (2023). 2019 offers a trio of highly praised shows Undone (rotoscoping so very unusual, about mental illness), Tuca & Bertie, Infinity Train. 2008 has Hilda and also Disenchantment (by Matt Groening) and the list goes on.

    In my opinion, we could easily fill up another 50 shows to your current shortlist, making the total nominees to 300. (1:3 ratio to the final top 100). Again, this is your project so I don’t want to give too much opinions… Looking forward to the vote (when the link’s active) and the second-chance episode along the track.

    • No worries at all — we genuinely appreciate the comments. These kinds of conversations are exactly why this project exists.

      Let me break down our approach a bit. We absolutely hear you on including lesser-known series. That said, we intentionally excluded most 2025 titles and shows with only a single season, as many of them haven’t yet proven long-term staying power as true “Top 100” contenders. For example, I personally enjoyed Dragon Ball Daima, but as a limited one-off that hasn’t fully embedded itself into pop culture yet, it simply hasn’t earned that legacy status. Good? Yes. Top 100? Not quite.

      Our criteria went beyond personal favorites. We factored in season and episode counts, awards, cultural impact, and overall memorability. We also consulted people within our circle and even used AI as a secondary gut-check alongside our own internal standards.

      In the past, we used a far more open, free-for-all approach, and while that allowed variety, it also meant some shows were underrepresented due to limited voter familiarity. We also ran into the issue of being under-equipped to fairly judge large chunks of anime, which flooded the list with titles outside our core wheelhouse. This time, by narrowing initial choices, we’re actually giving lesser-known shows a fairer shot through focused voting, rather than letting them get lost in the shuffle.

      We also made a conscious choice not to include Machinima, Rooster Teeth, YouTube, or web-exclusive animated series. While some of those are solid, they simply didn’t have the same mass exposure as traditional platforms like Disney, Netflix, Hulu, or cable networks. That was a deliberate line in the sand.

      As for X-Men ’97, we treated it as a continuation of the original series rather than a fully separate entity, which is why it was integrated into X-Men overall instead of standing alone. And honestly? I personally liked X-Men ’97 — but it almost proves our point. There’s been radio silence since Season 1, no real momentum or news, and with only 10 episodes followed by an apparent two-year gap before Season 2, it’s already started fading from immediate memory. That doesn’t make it bad, but it does raise the question of staying power — especially in an era where excitement can vanish faster than a Saturday morning cartoon time slot.

      The same logic applies to 2025 releases. Even if they’re strong, most won’t have additional seasons before we begin recording in 2026, putting them in that awkward “too soon to tell” category. No matter when a list like this is created, the newest shows will always face that hurdle. That’s where our secondary factors come in: awareness, recognition, awards, and overall legacy.

      Some of the titles mentioned — like Adventure Time (which we did cover, just not every subtitle iteration) or Disenchantment — were considered, but even those struggled to match the cultural dominance of giants like The Simpsons or Futurama. And yes, we all have personal favorites that didn’t make the cut. Trust me, I left a few on the cutting room floor too.

      Could we have added another 50–100 shows? Easily. But that’s exactly why we’re also doing the Top 15 fan-voted submissions. Fans will rank their personal picks from #1 to #15, and once we gather enough responses, those will be added to the pool — expanding the master list from 250 to 265 titles.

      Voting is live now on this post and an upcoming standalone one. Once we have sufficient entries, we’ll close submissions and build our official Top 100 list for the next phase of the Countdown.

      We truly appreciate the passion, the feedback, and the thoughtful engagement. Stick with us — this ride’s just getting started, and the nostalgia train is still running on premium fuel.
