fine, folks. I’m, of course, TFJuan Mike. Joining

00:01:02.439 –> 00:01:06.829
dick, knockin’ dick. And of course, Optimus Solo,

00:01:07.069 –> 00:01:09.510
hello. I thought you were going to call me Jimmy

00:01:09.510 –> 00:01:14.409
Carter or something. I don’t know. No. I don’t

00:01:14.409 –> 00:01:17.049
know where you would fall. Because I haven’t

00:01:17.049 –> 00:01:20.590
heard your presidential voice impressions. I

00:01:20.590 –> 00:01:26.810
haven’t either. Okay, Mr. Abe. I cannot tell

00:01:26.810 –> 00:01:31.439
a lie. He’s George, no matter which one. It doesn’t

00:01:31.439 –> 00:01:36.459
matter if it’s the first or if it’s the 40. No.

00:01:37.719 –> 00:01:40.180
Oh, God. Now my brain’s going to go. No, I can’t

00:01:40.180 –> 00:01:43.280
start thinking of what number the senior was.

00:01:43.780 –> 00:01:47.829
Anyway, we’re. What? Yeah, yeah, you did. Yeah,

00:01:47.829 –> 00:01:52.409
well, it doesn’t take much these days. After

00:01:52.409 –> 00:01:55.909
17 years, it doesn’t take much. We are bringing

00:01:55.909 –> 00:01:59.409
it back from the GCRN 2025 Year in Review. Go

00:01:59.409 –> 00:02:02.030

00:02:02.030 –> 00:02:04.450
back to the nominees as we once again conclude

00:02:04.450 –> 00:02:07.409
these nominations, this time by entering the

00:02:07.409 –> 00:02:10.990
fan votes to… Continue the awesome year that

00:02:10.990 –> 00:02:14.189
is 2026 here on the Geekcast Radio Network. Take

00:02:14.189 –> 00:02:16.189
it away after this solo and tell us what the

00:02:16.189 –> 00:02:19.969
fans want. So just to catch everybody up, if

00:02:19.969 –> 00:02:21.889
you haven’t been paying attention, we revealed

00:02:21.889 –> 00:02:25.849
over the last few months of 2025, 250 possible

00:02:25.849 –> 00:02:28.750
animated series that you could vote on for our

00:02:28.750 –> 00:02:33.520
top 100 animated series redo. And with those

00:02:33.520 –> 00:02:35.979
250, we open it up to the fans to let you guys

00:02:35.979 –> 00:02:38.400
try to get some more, sneak some more shows in

00:02:38.400 –> 00:02:40.659
that you thought we missed out of those 250.

00:02:41.419 –> 00:02:43.280
And you could go to the website, you could vote,

00:02:43.319 –> 00:02:45.759
you could do all kinds of stuff to get your opinions

00:02:45.759 –> 00:02:48.539
heard. And today we are revealing those extra

00:02:48.539 –> 00:02:50.259
shows that are going to sneak in along with those

00:02:50.259 –> 00:02:54.900
250 that we had revealed previously. Just to

00:02:54.900 –> 00:02:57.400
give everybody a little bit of data here, we

00:02:57.400 –> 00:03:01.460
received votes for 62 different shows to be added.

00:03:02.000 –> 00:03:07.379
to the list we are going to be adding 14 of those

00:03:07.379 –> 00:03:11.520
that got sufficient votes to our overall 250

00:03:11.520 –> 00:03:14.560
so we will end this is going to burst mike’s

00:03:14.560 –> 00:03:18.479
brain we’re going to end with 264 shows that

00:03:18.479 –> 00:03:21.780
you can vote for i find that i’m good with that

00:03:21.780 –> 00:03:24.219
i don’t want to be odd these days it’s an even

00:03:24.219 –> 00:03:27.509
number i’m good I thought for sure Mike would

00:03:27.509 –> 00:03:29.810
have a coronary with that not making any type

00:03:29.810 –> 00:03:32.289
of round number, but apparently he’s good with

00:03:32.289 –> 00:03:35.449
it. Like I said, I’ll reveal real quickly at

00:03:35.449 –> 00:03:36.990
the end maybe some of the other shows that got

00:03:36.990 –> 00:03:39.689
votes on, but we’re just going to reveal the

00:03:39.689 –> 00:03:42.129
top 14 that got the most votes that we’re going

00:03:42.129 –> 00:03:45.189
to be adding in. I’ll do it in some groups here.

00:03:45.250 –> 00:03:47.050
Let’s do some groups of, I don’t know, three

00:03:47.050 –> 00:03:49.550
or four at a time, and then we’ll get Mike and

00:03:49.550 –> 00:03:52.680
Steve’s reaction on that. And then we will let

00:03:52.680 –> 00:03:55.539
you know now that we have the final 264 shows

00:03:55.539 –> 00:03:58.740
that you can vote on what comes next. And Steve

00:03:58.740 –> 00:04:01.479
and Mike will help fill in the details of how

00:04:01.479 –> 00:04:04.860
that is going to look and work as well. So let’s

00:04:04.860 –> 00:04:08.719
start with some… I’m going to group this completely

00:04:08.719 –> 00:04:10.360
randomly, Mike, so it’s not going to make any

00:04:10.360 –> 00:04:13.159
sense for you whatsoever. But that’s just the

00:04:13.159 –> 00:04:18.790
way I want to do this. Yay! Guess what that means,

00:04:18.910 –> 00:04:22.069
folks? In the editing, you get nothing. You’re

00:04:22.069 –> 00:04:25.370
just getting the episode by itself. No extra

00:04:25.370 –> 00:04:27.850
audio, because I ain’t doing any extra work on

00:04:27.850 –> 00:04:31.790
this shit. So let’s start with just a few here

00:04:31.790 –> 00:04:34.930
and get your guys’ opinions. First two that are

00:04:34.930 –> 00:04:36.810
going to be added to the list are Courage the

00:04:36.810 –> 00:04:42.069
Cowardly Dog and Cow and Chicken. Any thoughts

00:04:42.069 –> 00:04:46.230
about those? Weren’t those in the original? I

00:04:46.230 –> 00:04:47.889
don’t know if they were in the original or not.

00:04:47.949 –> 00:04:50.509
I would have to pull up the web posts we made

00:04:50.509 –> 00:04:52.709
about which ones were which. I know they were

00:04:52.709 –> 00:04:57.370
discussed in one way, shape, or form. I completely

00:04:57.370 –> 00:05:00.910
did no research for this episode. I believe at

00:05:00.910 –> 00:05:02.930
least one of those is a Nickelodeon show, right?

00:05:03.250 –> 00:05:05.230
No, they’re both Cartoon Network. Oh, Cartoon

00:05:05.230 –> 00:05:06.649
Network. Yeah, they’re both Cartoon Network.

00:05:06.990 –> 00:05:11.750
I watched them. Courage, I’m good with. Cow and

00:05:11.750 –> 00:05:15.209
Chicken was just… See, I’m the other way around.

00:05:15.550 –> 00:05:17.750
I didn’t like Courage, and I would prefer Cow

00:05:17.750 –> 00:05:22.050
and Chicken. I would have to add both of them

00:05:22.050 –> 00:05:23.889
to my list of things to watch, because I’ve never

00:05:23.889 –> 00:05:26.110
watched either of these. The best part about

00:05:26.110 –> 00:05:30.069
Courage the Cowardly Dog is the old man where

00:05:30.069 –> 00:05:36.230
he goes, and then he goes, and then the Cow and

00:05:36.230 –> 00:05:39.410
Chicken and the devil -looking dude, they’re

00:05:39.410 –> 00:05:41.610
all voiced by the same person. Yeah, they are.

00:05:42.089 –> 00:05:44.269
Well, those are the first two wins. I knew they

00:05:44.269 –> 00:05:45.730
were on the same channel, so I wanted to group

00:05:45.730 –> 00:05:49.569
those two together as far as that went. How about

00:05:49.569 –> 00:05:53.129
some more, let’s call it adult -themed shows?

00:05:53.490 –> 00:05:56.569
We’re going to go with a couple here. We got

00:05:56.569 –> 00:06:03.730
Spawn, Harvey Birdman, which did make its way

00:06:03.730 –> 00:06:05.189
back in the list. It was going to be the only

00:06:05.189 –> 00:06:08.490
one that was on our top 100 original list that

00:06:08.490 –> 00:06:11.740
didn’t get a nomination. I guess we corrected

00:06:11.740 –> 00:06:15.459
that. And we’re going to also add in Celebrity

00:06:15.459 –> 00:06:18.540
Deathmatch to this. So Spawn, Celebrity Deathmatch,

00:06:18.620 –> 00:06:20.779
Harvey Birdman. Mike, what do you think? Spawn

00:06:20.779 –> 00:06:25.040
was… Did that only get one season? It was not

00:06:25.040 –> 00:06:26.939
very many episodes, I don’t think. Yeah, I feel

00:06:26.939 –> 00:06:31.120
like Spawn… Okay, so I’m pretty sure the movie

00:06:31.120 –> 00:06:33.480
came first, then the cartoon. Because I know

00:06:33.480 –> 00:06:37.339
the comic book was a thing. I’m trying to very,

00:06:37.420 –> 00:06:42.279
very quickly look at this. Oh, boy, there’s a

00:06:42.279 –> 00:06:48.019
lot. Yeah, the 97 film and then the 98 video

00:06:48.019 –> 00:06:51.899
game. It was three seasons, actually. Oh, it

00:06:51.899 –> 00:06:53.800
was three seasons. Okay, well, still. It was

00:06:53.800 –> 00:06:58.019
only 18 episodes. Okay, yeah, I… Oh, so it

00:06:58.019 –> 00:07:00.980
was Netflixing before Netflix was a thing. If

00:07:00.980 –> 00:07:04.019
it was three seasons, but only 18 episodes. Oh,

00:07:04.040 –> 00:07:07.220
my God. It was one of those MTV shows. It was

00:07:07.220 –> 00:07:10.339
one of those MTV cartoons. I believe I could

00:07:10.339 –> 00:07:13.680
be wrong. HBO. Okay, there you go. Spawn. Yeah,

00:07:13.759 –> 00:07:18.040
it was HBO. Spawn, HBO. I never, I watched like

00:07:18.040 –> 00:07:20.399
one episode, but after I saw the film, I was

00:07:20.399 –> 00:07:22.839
like, okay, that’s all I need for that. Like,

00:07:22.839 –> 00:07:26.079
I don’t need to know anything. Like, again, Spawn

00:07:26.079 –> 00:07:29.839
came out in 1997. I was 17 years old. I wasn’t

00:07:29.839 –> 00:07:33.500
really, like, I was out of kind of, like, I was,

00:07:33.519 –> 00:07:37.310
I don’t know, whatever. It was okay. The cartoon

00:07:37.310 –> 00:07:39.329
was okay. Like I said, I think I saw like two

00:07:39.329 –> 00:07:42.829
or three episodes. Not enough to remember it.

00:07:43.009 –> 00:07:45.009
Now, Celebrity Deathmatch, on the other hand,

00:07:45.069 –> 00:07:48.189
definitely, thank God, it got the fan vote because,

00:07:48.290 –> 00:07:52.750
damn, love that show. Okay, then. Now, we’re

00:07:52.750 –> 00:07:55.730
finally ready for a clean, hard fight. Gentlemen,

00:07:55.910 –> 00:07:58.230
let’s get it on. I always think of Mills Lane

00:07:58.230 –> 00:07:59.529
when I think of Celebrity Deathmatch. Yep, absolutely.

00:08:00.050 –> 00:08:03.449
Well, he’s the ref. I want a good, clean fight.

00:08:03.610 –> 00:08:06.040
Let’s get it on. Let’s get it on. That’s right.

00:08:07.319 –> 00:08:09.540
He got real famous for a minute and then disappeared

00:08:09.540 –> 00:08:12.120
into the ether. Steve, what do you think about

00:08:12.120 –> 00:08:14.160
these three? Harvey Birdman, Celebrity Deathmatch,

00:08:14.160 –> 00:08:17.899
and the short -lived Spawn? I can definitely

00:08:17.899 –> 00:08:20.579
see Harvey Birdman, Cartoon Network special,

00:08:20.839 –> 00:08:25.540
Celebrity Deathmatch with MTV. I don’t love Spawn.

00:08:26.139 –> 00:08:29.680
I get it’s a bigger thing as a comic and like

00:08:29.680 –> 00:08:33.299
a film, but I think Celebrity Deathmatch out

00:08:33.299 –> 00:08:37.320
of these batch. this this three is probably the

00:08:37.320 –> 00:08:40.159
best like the the strongest contender yeah i

00:08:40.159 –> 00:08:43.179
think the thing that swan has going for it is

00:08:43.179 –> 00:08:45.440
that it was somewhat unique for its time there

00:08:45.440 –> 00:08:49.179
wasn’t a whole lot of mature comic book style

00:08:49.179 –> 00:08:54.200
like uh hbo animated series happening back in

00:08:54.200 –> 00:08:56.120
the day i know it’s a little bit more commonplace

00:08:56.120 –> 00:08:58.980
now but i get its uniqueness then I also get

00:08:58.980 –> 00:09:00.600
the celebrity death match uniqueness. Like there

00:09:00.600 –> 00:09:03.419
wasn’t anything like that going on. And definitely,

00:09:03.419 –> 00:09:06.080
I guess with the death of MTV, it’s kind of fitting,

00:09:06.139 –> 00:09:08.639
I guess that we get an MTV show to try and live

00:09:08.639 –> 00:09:10.960
on with that. And I have no problem with Harvey

00:09:10.960 –> 00:09:12.899
Birdman. I’m not super educated or experienced

00:09:12.899 –> 00:09:14.700
with Harvey Birdman, but like I said, it was

00:09:14.700 –> 00:09:16.659
on our original top 100. So it feels like it

00:09:16.659 –> 00:09:19.139
should be at least in the nomination pool. So

00:09:19.139 –> 00:09:21.759
I have to go back and watch, I have to go back

00:09:21.759 –> 00:09:24.539
and watch Harvey Birdman. Cause all is, I remember

00:09:24.539 –> 00:09:29.970
like, I remember. Harvey Birdman late nighting.

00:09:30.190 –> 00:09:33.789
That’s all I remember. He’s behind the desk.

00:09:34.090 –> 00:09:36.889
Maybe I’m thinking of Space Ghost. I don’t know.

00:09:37.070 –> 00:09:41.769
Mills Lane actually started out as a boxer first.

00:09:42.090 –> 00:09:45.289
He was a boxer, then a referee. I didn’t remember

00:09:45.289 –> 00:09:50.350
all of that. With him being the referee, but

00:09:50.350 –> 00:09:53.309
where I had known him obviously from was being…

00:09:53.879 –> 00:09:56.580
The TV judge guy, because that’s where I had

00:09:56.580 –> 00:10:00.740
seen him from. But seeing him in Celebrity Deathmatch

00:10:00.740 –> 00:10:06.279
was just so hilariously awesome. You got Johnny

00:10:06.279 –> 00:10:10.919
and Nick and just seeing the celebrities that

00:10:10.919 –> 00:10:15.269
they would impersonate and get. It was just such

00:10:15.269 –> 00:10:18.129
a fun. And it was Claymation. You didn’t see

00:10:18.129 –> 00:10:21.149
a lot of Claymation shows. There were no, like,

00:10:21.230 –> 00:10:24.730
at that time, there were no, like, the last Claymation

00:10:24.730 –> 00:10:26.889
show I remember before Celebrity Deathmatch was

00:10:26.889 –> 00:10:32.009
Gumby. Like, no, I’m dead serious. Like, Claymation

00:10:32.009 –> 00:10:35.830
was not a thing when Celebrity Deathmatch happened

00:10:35.830 –> 00:10:40.669
in 99, 98, whatever it was. But, yeah, no, so

00:10:40.669 –> 00:10:44.750
happy they got in. Yeah. We’re going to reveal

00:10:44.750 –> 00:10:48.149
two more modern ones. I guess you could say somewhat

00:10:48.149 –> 00:10:52.429
modern ones that made it into the nomination

00:10:52.429 –> 00:10:55.070
pool. See if you guys have any experience with

00:10:55.070 –> 00:10:57.230
either of these two. That would be Infinity Train

00:10:57.230 –> 00:11:02.629
and Arcane. So again, two more modern ones. I

00:11:02.629 –> 00:11:04.129
know we got some comments on the website about

00:11:04.129 –> 00:11:06.409
both of these. Steve, any experience with Arcane

00:11:06.409 –> 00:11:10.440
or Infinity Train? I’d never heard of them. I’ve

00:11:10.440 –> 00:11:13.740
heard of Arcane, but I’ve never actively sought

00:11:13.740 –> 00:11:17.879
it out. I believe I watched an episode of Arcane,

00:11:17.940 –> 00:11:19.360
but I may be getting confused with one of the

00:11:19.360 –> 00:11:21.399
other modern ones and I thought I had some promise,

00:11:21.460 –> 00:11:22.940
but I’ll have to go back now that it’s in the

00:11:22.940 –> 00:11:25.700
nomination pool and watch a few of both of these

00:11:25.700 –> 00:11:28.159
just so I have at least knowledge when I go to

00:11:28.159 –> 00:11:30.919
fill out my ballot and when we reveal what actually

00:11:30.919 –> 00:11:33.799
makes the top 100 because I feel like a lot of

00:11:33.799 –> 00:11:36.820
people, when you look up lists and comments about

00:11:36.820 –> 00:11:41.440
the last 10 to… 15 years like these two shows

00:11:41.440 –> 00:11:43.840
get mentioned a lot so right i was surprised

00:11:43.840 –> 00:11:45.139
that there were some fans out there that were

00:11:45.139 –> 00:11:48.820
pushing for these two as well so i did briefly

00:11:48.820 –> 00:11:51.600
look these up while you guys were talking infinity

00:11:51.600 –> 00:11:54.639
train is a cartoon network series and it was

00:11:54.639 –> 00:11:57.559
on the air as of like 2022 it had four seasons

00:11:57.559 –> 00:11:59.960
at that point looks a little bit better than

00:11:59.960 –> 00:12:01.519
some of the stuff but i mean again it kind of

00:12:01.519 –> 00:12:04.759
falls into the almost the cal art style type

00:12:04.759 –> 00:12:12.250
simplistic okay art And then Arcane is basically

00:12:12.250 –> 00:12:15.009
League of Legends. Yeah, that’s the one I saw

00:12:15.009 –> 00:12:17.509
a few episodes of for sure, then. Yeah, I didn’t

00:12:17.509 –> 00:12:20.629
see it. From the CGI, it looks pretty stellar.

00:12:21.649 –> 00:12:24.509
Not sure if it’ll be my cup of tea, but I’ll

00:12:24.509 –> 00:12:26.970
give it a shot. And it’s got three seasons, it

00:12:26.970 –> 00:12:29.070
looks like. I want to say I watched the first

00:12:29.070 –> 00:12:31.409
two episodes, possibly. And I was definitely

00:12:31.409 –> 00:12:33.330
intrigued enough that I would probably give it

00:12:33.330 –> 00:12:35.750
at least the five -episode treatment. But I don’t

00:12:35.750 –> 00:12:38.909
know. I’d have to watch those five to fully decide.

00:12:39.149 –> 00:12:40.690
But it looked like it had at least some promise

00:12:40.690 –> 00:12:43.929
in it for sure. So two more modern picks here.

00:12:44.210 –> 00:12:47.309
I’m going to go with some franchise -related

00:12:47.309 –> 00:12:51.029
shows that got in here. Connections to other

00:12:51.029 –> 00:12:53.950
franchise shows that we are familiar with or

00:12:53.950 –> 00:12:57.529
movies or comic books, etc. So there’s four of

00:12:57.529 –> 00:12:59.610
them. So we’ll kind of go one at a time here.

00:12:59.769 –> 00:13:03.649
The first one is from the 90s. And that would

00:13:03.649 –> 00:13:07.600
be Mask. The Animated Series. Steve, what do

00:13:07.600 –> 00:13:09.940
you think about Mask of the Animated Series?

00:13:10.059 –> 00:13:16.419
Mask from the 80s. The Mask. I know, I know.

00:13:16.600 –> 00:13:19.179
That’s why I’m laughing. Steve, what do you think

00:13:19.179 –> 00:13:23.559
about this one? I love this show, so I think

00:13:23.559 –> 00:13:27.759
it’s great. I recently re -watched a big chunk

00:13:27.759 –> 00:13:31.960
of it. I think it’s entertaining and I love it.

00:13:32.000 –> 00:13:34.539
I, I, anything that, that stemmed from a Jim

00:13:34.539 –> 00:13:36.700
Carrey property, I’m pretty happy with. Although

00:13:36.700 –> 00:13:39.320
the Ace Ventura cartoon was kind of a dumpster

00:13:39.320 –> 00:13:43.399
fire. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This, this was great.

00:13:43.500 –> 00:13:46.220
Like you, you had Rob Paulson and yeah, it was

00:13:46.220 –> 00:13:48.440
just, the whole show was awesome. I was going

00:13:48.440 –> 00:13:51.000
to say, Rob does a good Jim Carrey impression.

00:13:53.320 –> 00:13:55.000
Mike, are you happy that this one’s in the nomination

00:13:55.000 –> 00:13:57.860
pool? That’s why I’ve been laughing since you

00:13:57.860 –> 00:13:59.899
mentioned it. I was like, oh, yeah, that’s right.

00:14:00.120 –> 00:14:03.919
The mask. Yeah. No, it’s the key to making the

00:14:03.919 –> 00:14:20.500
mask and all around nicer guy like me. I didn’t

00:14:20.500 –> 00:14:22.340
get to watch a lot of this series just because

00:14:22.340 –> 00:14:24.539
of when it came out. I was kind of in that phase

00:14:24.539 –> 00:14:26.519
in the mid to late 90s that I wasn’t watching

00:14:26.519 –> 00:14:28.740
much. But I definitely am very familiar with

00:14:28.740 –> 00:14:31.580
the movie. And I love Jim Carrey and most of

00:14:31.580 –> 00:14:34.120
his comedy stuff. So I’m definitely intrigued.

00:14:34.159 –> 00:14:36.220
I’ll have to give this one a shot as well to

00:14:36.220 –> 00:14:39.399
watch some. This next one’s interesting to me.

00:14:39.519 –> 00:14:42.399
It did spark some debate amongst us whether we

00:14:42.399 –> 00:14:45.840
included it as a separate entity or not. We are

00:14:45.840 –> 00:14:47.620
going to treat it as a separate entity because

00:14:47.620 –> 00:14:50.620
enough people voted that it should be. We’re

00:14:50.620 –> 00:14:52.080
going into the world of the comic books, and

00:14:52.080 –> 00:14:55.500
this will be the X -Men 97. We’ll get a separate

00:14:55.500 –> 00:14:58.100
listing here. Mike, what do you think? Yeah,

00:14:58.120 –> 00:15:01.179
so even though it is a continuation of X -Men,

00:15:01.220 –> 00:15:04.519
the animated series, the reason why I wanted

00:15:04.519 –> 00:15:08.620
it to be separate is because it is a continuation

00:15:08.620 –> 00:15:14.980
practically 30 years later kind of thing. That’s

00:15:14.980 –> 00:15:19.919
the whole point is that in 1997, X -Men the Animated

00:15:19.919 –> 00:15:25.559
Series had its fifth and final season at the

00:15:25.559 –> 00:15:29.159
time. And we just figured, oh, okay, that’s the

00:15:29.159 –> 00:15:31.840
final season. That’s the final episode. They

00:15:31.840 –> 00:15:35.419
quote unquote graduated because I believe without

00:15:35.419 –> 00:15:38.620
looking it up, without typing a bunch of stuff,

00:15:38.759 –> 00:15:41.899
the final episode was called Graduation Day.

00:15:45.209 –> 00:15:47.850
And yeah, so them bringing it back, and I love

00:15:47.850 –> 00:15:49.409
that they brought it back, and it’s still the

00:15:49.409 –> 00:15:54.450
same creators. I believe it’s Eric and Julia

00:15:54.450 –> 00:16:00.090
Leewald working on it with X -Men 97. They tried

00:16:00.090 –> 00:16:01.929
to bring back everybody that they could to make

00:16:01.929 –> 00:16:06.220
it. basically the continuation that it is, but

00:16:06.220 –> 00:16:08.620
it is a continuation of the original series.

00:16:08.740 –> 00:16:11.000
But they are two very separate things because

00:16:11.000 –> 00:16:14.639
they are 30 years apart. It’s like… you know,

00:16:14.679 –> 00:16:16.580
I don’t know, whatever it is. Yeah, but it’s

00:16:16.580 –> 00:16:18.240
his own separate thing and it deserves to be

00:16:18.240 –> 00:16:21.179
its own separate thing. The animation style isn’t

00:16:21.179 –> 00:16:24.779
exactly the exact same thing. That’s the other

00:16:24.779 –> 00:16:26.980
reason why I think it needs to be separated besides

00:16:26.980 –> 00:16:29.919
the time aspect. Compare X -Men, the animated

00:16:29.919 –> 00:16:32.360
series animation, like the first two seasons

00:16:32.360 –> 00:16:36.700
to the first season of X -Men 97. It’s not the

00:16:36.700 –> 00:16:40.000
same exact same animation style 30 years apart.

00:16:40.200 –> 00:16:42.799
It just isn’t. I love that it’s here. I think

00:16:42.799 –> 00:16:44.950
it’s great because I think, It’s a great show.

00:16:46.149 –> 00:16:49.090
Steve, are you happy that it’s in the pool? Yeah.

00:16:49.129 –> 00:16:52.029
I mean, it was great when I watched it. I mean,

00:16:52.029 –> 00:16:53.889
I’m waiting for the second season now. But I

00:16:53.889 –> 00:16:56.049
mean, I loved the original series to begin with.

00:16:56.110 –> 00:16:58.929
So it’s kind of a pipe dream that this thing’s

00:16:58.929 –> 00:17:02.389
back. Yeah. Another interesting way to get a

00:17:02.389 –> 00:17:04.990
more modern, I guess, series in there as well.

00:17:05.089 –> 00:17:07.829
So something from recent times. This next one,

00:17:07.890 –> 00:17:10.430
I guess, is completely fitting given who we are.

00:17:10.569 –> 00:17:14.829
But how many Transformers series is enough? We

00:17:14.829 –> 00:17:18.549
have, I believe, six in the pool at the moment.

00:17:18.589 –> 00:17:21.029
We have Transformers Beast Wars, Beast Machines,

00:17:21.089 –> 00:17:23.950
Transformers Animated, Transformers Prime, and

00:17:23.950 –> 00:17:26.930
Transformers Rescue Bots. So let’s go ahead and

00:17:26.930 –> 00:17:31.559
add a seventh. Mike, any guess? Oh, God. As long

00:17:31.559 –> 00:17:35.740
as it’s not Armada, Energon, or Cybertron, I’m

00:17:35.740 –> 00:17:37.759
good. Well, which one do you think would be in

00:17:37.759 –> 00:17:39.339
there if there was a seventh series being added?

00:17:39.420 –> 00:17:42.019
It’s probably Armada, but as long as it’s not

00:17:42.019 –> 00:17:46.720
Energon or Cybertron, I’m good. All right. Transformers,

00:17:46.759 –> 00:17:50.480
Armada, it is. That will be in our seventh Transformers

00:17:50.480 –> 00:17:52.380
series into the countdown. Steve, your thoughts?

00:17:53.500 –> 00:17:58.720
I’m fine with it. I liked that rendition. It

00:17:58.720 –> 00:18:02.579
got progressively worse as that’s what, but,

00:18:02.700 –> 00:18:08.420
but it is a trilogy. Yes, I know. But I think

00:18:08.420 –> 00:18:10.380
the best one out of the three represented it

00:18:10.380 –> 00:18:13.160
here. Well, there’s no way that anybody, if there’s

00:18:13.160 –> 00:18:15.059
a Transformers fan out there that’s voting on

00:18:15.059 –> 00:18:19.980
our countdown, we’ve got to have their favorite

00:18:19.980 –> 00:18:21.859
Transformers series represented, I would feel

00:18:21.859 –> 00:18:26.420
like. We gave them seven choices. Exactly. Something

00:18:26.420 –> 00:18:28.440
for every generation, something for everybody,

00:18:28.539 –> 00:18:31.099
I would think in there. All right, the last one

00:18:31.099 –> 00:18:33.920
that’s a franchise -related title, and I’m super

00:18:33.920 –> 00:18:36.480
stoked that this one has made the list. I just

00:18:36.480 –> 00:18:40.400
think it’s one of the better reboots slash remakes

00:18:40.400 –> 00:18:45.019
of a cartoon series that I’ve seen. Uh -oh. I’m

00:18:45.019 –> 00:18:50.279
going to go to the 2009 version, The Garfield

00:18:50.279 –> 00:18:54.089
Show. Oh, okay. Obviously starring Frank Welker,

00:18:54.250 –> 00:18:56.589
Greg Berger is in there again, etc. This one

00:18:56.589 –> 00:19:00.009
ran for five seasons, over 100 episodes. It was

00:19:00.009 –> 00:19:05.009
on from 2009 to 2016. Steve, any experience with

00:19:05.009 –> 00:19:07.609
the Garfield show and do you think it’s worthy

00:19:07.609 –> 00:19:10.210
of being in our pool? So is this the one that’s

00:19:10.210 –> 00:19:16.069
the CGI? Correct. Okay. I’ve watched it, albeit

00:19:16.069 –> 00:19:22.289
briefly, with my kids. I think it’s fine. I still

00:19:22.289 –> 00:19:26.150
prefer Garfield and Friends. But, I mean, I think

00:19:26.150 –> 00:19:29.670
it’s fine. Garfield’s pretty harmless. All these

00:19:29.670 –> 00:19:32.630
years, and I didn’t know lasagna could talk.

00:19:33.029 –> 00:19:36.829
Why didn’t it say something? What if it isn’t

00:19:36.829 –> 00:19:39.670
just lasagna? What if ravioli can talk? What

00:19:39.670 –> 00:19:42.190
if cannoli tries to beat me up? And the garlic

00:19:42.190 –> 00:19:52.569
bread? I’ll starve! I think it was a good introduction

00:19:52.569 –> 00:19:55.470
of Garfield to a new generation, potentially,

00:19:55.490 –> 00:19:58.490
with the CG and with Frank Welker doing a lot

00:19:58.490 –> 00:20:01.029
of the voices. I kind of appreciate that. I haven’t

00:20:01.029 –> 00:20:02.750
watched it extensively, but I’ve watched it enough

00:20:02.750 –> 00:20:06.069
to know that it’s a quality animated series.

00:20:06.269 –> 00:20:08.609
I just would have to watch more in -depth to

00:20:08.609 –> 00:20:11.150
see how high the quality is and to see how it

00:20:11.150 –> 00:20:13.210
would rank amongst the rest, like you said, especially

00:20:13.210 –> 00:20:14.690
against the original. Mike, what do you think?

00:20:15.240 –> 00:20:18.119
yeah same thing i’ve only seen like clips here

00:20:18.119 –> 00:20:20.339
and there of it but what i have seen of it i’ve

00:20:20.339 –> 00:20:22.980
i’ve enjoyed and i i agree with what you guys

00:20:22.980 –> 00:20:26.640
are saying i mean as long as especially it’s

00:20:26.640 –> 00:20:32.680
garfield like you don’t want to no one ever wants

00:20:32.680 –> 00:20:36.140
to go into any project by oh i i’d like to screw

00:20:36.140 –> 00:20:38.500
this up i’d like to you know whatever no one

00:20:38.500 –> 00:20:40.059
ever wants to do that no matter what you’re working

00:20:40.059 –> 00:20:42.779
on but especially garfield you want to get garfield

00:20:42.779 –> 00:20:45.079
right and i think from the clips that i’ve seen

00:20:45.079 –> 00:20:49.420
they’ve gotten it right and with lorenzo music

00:20:49.420 –> 00:20:52.900
having been gone a long time now i think frank

00:20:52.900 –> 00:20:57.230
wilker does a good enough Garfield voice, and

00:20:57.230 –> 00:20:59.410
I’m not saying that to say, oh my god, Frank

00:20:59.410 –> 00:21:01.890
Walker just does it good. I’m not saying it like

00:21:01.890 –> 00:21:07.289
that. He does it gooder. Ha, I didn’t say that.

00:21:07.910 –> 00:21:11.950
I said good enough. I said gooder. Yeah, you

00:21:11.950 –> 00:21:15.509
can say gooder all you want, Mr. Gooder over

00:21:15.509 –> 00:21:21.029
there. The point is, is that I think the Garfield

00:21:21.029 –> 00:21:27.869
show was a nice updating to what we had before.

00:21:27.990 –> 00:21:30.109
But again, as I say all the time, and as I said,

00:21:30.130 –> 00:21:31.890
I think I said in the, in the other episodes

00:21:31.890 –> 00:21:35.069
that we did leading up to all of this in all

00:21:35.069 –> 00:21:39.150
of our reveals, just because there’s a new version

00:21:39.150 –> 00:21:42.009
doesn’t mean it erases the old version. You can

00:21:42.009 –> 00:21:45.180
go back and you can, well. hopefully if it’s

00:21:45.180 –> 00:21:47.599
streaming somewhere, if it’s on DVD, you can

00:21:47.599 –> 00:21:49.259
go back and watch Garfield and friends. You can

00:21:49.259 –> 00:21:52.059
go back and watch the other six or seven or 11

00:21:52.059 –> 00:21:55.019
Transformers series or whatever kind of thing.

00:21:55.380 –> 00:21:57.599
Well, okay. I’m using that because it has the

00:21:57.599 –> 00:22:00.359
most representation kind of thing. But like,

00:22:00.420 –> 00:22:03.339
you know, the point is, is that if you want the

00:22:03.339 –> 00:22:05.460
other thing, you can go find the other thing.

00:22:05.539 –> 00:22:09.579
But with this version of the Garfield show and

00:22:09.579 –> 00:22:11.500
the clips that I have seen of it, I did very

00:22:11.500 –> 00:22:15.509
much enjoy it. And I do think it does. deserve

00:22:15.509 –> 00:22:21.609
to be here. I am actually interested that not

00:22:21.609 –> 00:22:23.890
a single one of these 14 additional shows is

00:22:23.890 –> 00:22:26.430
going to date itself in the 80s or before. These

00:22:26.430 –> 00:22:29.609
are all 90s and onward shows, so I thought that

00:22:29.609 –> 00:22:31.970
was a little bit interesting. These final three

00:22:31.970 –> 00:22:34.609
here, I am pretty stoked that these are going

00:22:34.609 –> 00:22:36.349
to be in the pool. I think there’s different

00:22:36.349 –> 00:22:38.589
arguments that could be made for each one. I

00:22:38.589 –> 00:22:41.220
think one of them is for sure underrated. I think

00:22:41.220 –> 00:22:44.140
one of them is underrated. I think one of them

00:22:44.140 –> 00:22:46.160
has, for some reason, been forgotten to time.

00:22:46.400 –> 00:22:48.180
And then I know another one’s going to make Steve

00:22:48.180 –> 00:22:51.059
happy. So I’m fine with all three of these here.

00:22:51.259 –> 00:22:54.819
So our final three, we’ll start with Bobby’s

00:22:54.819 –> 00:22:57.400
World. I think that’s the one that seems to be

00:22:57.400 –> 00:23:00.839
forgotten to time. I think a lot of people talk

00:23:00.839 –> 00:23:03.960
about Rugrats and talk about Doug and talk about

00:23:03.960 –> 00:23:05.980
a lot of those other ones that were around that

00:23:05.980 –> 00:23:07.740
same time period. And for some reason, Bobby’s

00:23:07.740 –> 00:23:12.420
World seems to have gotten forgotten. But I appreciate

00:23:12.420 –> 00:23:14.579
Bobby’s world, so I’m somewhat happy that it

00:23:14.579 –> 00:23:17.819
is in the pool. The final two, and then I’ll

00:23:17.819 –> 00:23:19.220
get your guys’ reaction on all three together.

00:23:19.400 –> 00:23:22.079
The final two were our highest two vote -getters,

00:23:22.119 –> 00:23:25.759
actually. And that would be Mighty Max and Pirates

00:23:25.759 –> 00:23:28.319
of Darkwater. So I think Pirates of Darkwater

00:23:28.319 –> 00:23:31.099
is kind of the hidden gem that a lot of people

00:23:31.099 –> 00:23:34.440
don’t know about. And Mighty Max, I just think,

00:23:34.460 –> 00:23:39.200
is a show that the people that… remember it

00:23:39.200 –> 00:23:41.980
remember it very fondly so steve what do you

00:23:41.980 –> 00:23:43.799
think about mighty max pirates of dark water

00:23:43.799 –> 00:23:49.579
and bobby’s world i love it um i watched all

00:23:49.579 –> 00:23:52.579
three of those uh pirates of dark water i watched

00:23:52.579 –> 00:23:55.740
more so when there was nothing else on and same

00:23:55.740 –> 00:23:58.400
thing with bobby’s world uh bobby’s world was

00:23:58.400 –> 00:24:00.180
kind of fun just to watch and you know the little

00:24:00.180 –> 00:24:02.619
jokes and everything else that kind of happened

00:24:02.619 –> 00:24:06.490
and then you had uh howie mandel you know playing

00:24:06.490 –> 00:24:09.009
as the cartoon and as the live action version

00:24:09.009 –> 00:24:14.650
of, you know, right. So it was entertaining.

00:24:14.809 –> 00:24:16.769
And then, you know, he played Bobby as I think

00:24:16.769 –> 00:24:20.690
as well. Um, and then, uh, pirates of dark water,

00:24:20.750 –> 00:24:22.829
like I said, it was, it was an entertaining show.

00:24:22.910 –> 00:24:24.490
I enjoyed it for what it was. It was kind of

00:24:24.490 –> 00:24:26.809
with that gritty, like SWAT cats type of era

00:24:26.809 –> 00:24:31.009
of cartoon network. Yeah, for sure. And then

00:24:31.009 –> 00:24:33.470
mighty max like that, that hands down out of

00:24:33.470 –> 00:24:36.789
those three was my absolute favorite. I watched

00:24:36.789 –> 00:24:41.690
the crap out of that. Norman Virgil and Max and

00:24:41.690 –> 00:24:46.849
Skull Master and just so many great voice actors

00:24:46.849 –> 00:24:50.769
in the show too. So I just love how it played

00:24:50.769 –> 00:24:56.289
along. Didn’t love the ending, but because it

00:24:56.289 –> 00:24:59.650
kind of rebooted itself, like it was in a circular

00:24:59.650 –> 00:25:04.589
time loop in essence. But yeah, it was a great

00:25:04.589 –> 00:25:08.769
show. I think Pirates of Darkwater has an interesting

00:25:08.769 –> 00:25:10.670
voice cast as well. I mean, you do have Peter

00:25:10.670 –> 00:25:12.970
Cullen and Frank Welker in there, but you got

00:25:12.970 –> 00:25:16.089
Hector Elizondo in there, Tim Curry. And Jody

00:25:16.089 –> 00:25:18.049
Benson, the voice of Ariel from The Little Mermaid’s

00:25:18.049 –> 00:25:20.269
in there. So I think that’s an interesting voice

00:25:20.269 –> 00:25:22.329
cast. I think all of these should get more attention,

00:25:22.470 –> 00:25:24.309
should get watched more and talked about more.

00:25:24.390 –> 00:25:25.670
So I’m happy they’re in there. What do you think

00:25:25.670 –> 00:25:27.869
about these three, Mike? Yeah, I agree. And I

00:25:27.869 –> 00:25:31.650
am so glad that they never went with the original

00:25:31.650 –> 00:25:34.910
title for Bobby’s World. The World According

00:25:34.910 –> 00:25:37.210
to Bobby. That would not have gotten it seven

00:25:37.210 –> 00:25:40.609
seasons. Bobby’s World, I forgot it had seven

00:25:40.609 –> 00:25:43.630
seasons. I thought it only had three or four

00:25:43.630 –> 00:25:48.529
seasons, but it ran from 90 to 97. And yes, you

00:25:48.529 –> 00:25:52.190
are right. Howie voiced Bobby, and he also voiced

00:25:52.190 –> 00:25:58.869
his dad. Generic? Well, yeah. I can’t remember

00:25:58.869 –> 00:26:00.269
what his first name was, but it was something

00:26:00.269 –> 00:26:03.250
generic, right? Yeah, Howard Generic, modeled

00:26:03.250 –> 00:26:07.460
upon and also voiced by Howie Mandel. using his

00:26:07.460 –> 00:26:10.980
normal voice so all right now yeah bobby’s world

00:26:10.980 –> 00:26:13.259
absolutely pirates of dark water is the one that

00:26:13.259 –> 00:26:15.119
i have to catch up with what was the other one

00:26:15.119 –> 00:26:18.859
uh oh god mighty mac mighty mac that’s the other

00:26:18.859 –> 00:26:21.720
one i gotta watch watch too i remember watching

00:26:21.720 –> 00:26:25.400
pirates of dark water i for some odd reason i

00:26:25.400 –> 00:26:27.779
remember it lining up with batman the animated

00:26:27.779 –> 00:26:30.880
series i could be wrong in the when did on from

00:26:30.880 –> 00:26:34.380
like 91 to 93 Okay, so it’s in that range since

00:26:34.380 –> 00:26:38.359
BTS debuted in 92. I seem to remember at some

00:26:38.359 –> 00:26:42.480
point them following each other. It aired on

00:26:42.480 –> 00:26:48.460
ABC, Fox Kids, and in syndication. Okay, so BTS

00:26:48.460 –> 00:26:50.759
was on Fox, so it wouldn’t have aired directly.

00:26:51.119 –> 00:26:53.880
I don’t know. Somehow, someway, I watched the

00:26:53.880 –> 00:26:56.950
two of them together. back to back or flipping

00:26:56.950 –> 00:27:01.710
channels or whatever kind of thing so yeah but

00:27:01.710 –> 00:27:03.230
i’m gonna have to go back to pirates of dark

00:27:03.230 –> 00:27:05.269
water and watch it again but what i did see of

00:27:05.269 –> 00:27:07.630
it i really did enjoy and again i think all three

00:27:07.630 –> 00:27:11.150
of them deserve to be in the running pirates

00:27:11.150 –> 00:27:13.789
of dark water kind of is along the same lines

00:27:13.789 –> 00:27:15.990
for me as like a gargoyles it was like one of

00:27:15.990 –> 00:27:20.769
the rare 90s cartoons made for like a general

00:27:20.769 –> 00:27:23.539
audience that was also had a serious tone like

00:27:23.539 –> 00:27:25.619
we got some of that in the 80s but like in the

00:27:25.619 –> 00:27:28.519
90s it was a lot more sticky comedy fun stuff

00:27:28.519 –> 00:27:31.099
and then like gargoyles and pirates of the dark

00:27:31.099 –> 00:27:33.259
water to me kind of represented the more serious

00:27:33.259 –> 00:27:36.079
side of cartoons in the 90s um so that’s kind

00:27:36.079 –> 00:27:38.099
of how i would would group those so i’m gonna

00:27:38.099 –> 00:27:40.240
run down all 14 of these just real quickly so

00:27:40.240 –> 00:27:42.019
they’re all in a same group together we have

00:27:42.019 –> 00:27:45.160
mighty max pirates of dark water bobby’s world

00:27:45.160 –> 00:27:48.759

Show, The Mask, The Animated Series, Transformers

00:27:58.089 –> 00:28:01.690
Armada, and X -Men 97 are our additional nominees.

00:28:02.130 –> 00:28:04.529
I’m just going to fairly quickly go through.

00:28:04.670 –> 00:28:06.009
We’re not going to spend a whole lot of time

00:28:06.009 –> 00:28:08.049
on these other ones. Like I said, 62 shows got

00:28:08.049 –> 00:28:09.829
voted on, but I just want to at least give them

00:28:09.829 –> 00:28:12.410
a mention. So I’m going to do it in some groups.

00:28:12.650 –> 00:28:15.529
We had Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers, Ion

00:28:15.529 –> 00:28:20.079

James Bond Jr., Life with Louie, Metalocalypse,

00:28:43.079 –> 00:28:44.980
I can never say that one, Mighty Ducks, The Animated

00:28:44.980 –> 00:28:48.519

the 22nd Century, Street Sharks, The Critic,

The Looney Tunes Show, The Owl House, Thunderbirds,

00:28:59.160 –> 00:29:01.220
which is an animated series, so that would have

00:29:01.220 –> 00:29:04.319
got DQ’d anyways, Totally Spies, Transformers

00:29:04.319 –> 00:29:07.200
Energon, Transformers Headmasters, Trapdoor,

00:29:07.380 –> 00:29:11.160
Trigun, Uncle Grandpa, Undone, and Witch, W -I

00:29:11.160 –> 00:29:14.420
-T -C -H, with periods next to all of them. Mike,

00:29:14.519 –> 00:29:16.559
any thoughts about the million that I just read

00:29:16.559 –> 00:29:21.849
off? i’m actually surprised that eon flux didn’t

00:29:21.849 –> 00:29:25.049
make it i’m really surprised because that’s one

00:29:25.049 –> 00:29:29.029
that everybody usually praises a lot i could

00:29:29.029 –> 00:29:31.029
have seen that afro samurai sometimes gets some

00:29:31.029 –> 00:29:33.069
love i know there was some more modern people

00:29:33.069 –> 00:29:35.369
pushing for like a final space or something like

00:29:35.369 –> 00:29:37.730
that quick drama girl was like the only old school

00:29:37.730 –> 00:29:39.369
one that got a vote i thought that was interesting

00:29:39.369 –> 00:29:43.230
that was probably me um and The Looney Tunes

00:29:43.230 –> 00:29:44.569
show, that would have been an interesting remake,

00:29:44.710 –> 00:29:46.309
but it’s hard when there’s so many other ones.

00:29:46.349 –> 00:29:47.890
We did get a couple more Transformers mentions.

00:29:48.309 –> 00:29:51.549
Steve, any thoughts on any of these? No, just

00:29:51.549 –> 00:29:52.930
kind of surprised all the different ones that

00:29:52.930 –> 00:29:56.430
showed up here. Yeah, definitely a variety of

00:29:56.430 –> 00:29:59.450
shows. So those will not make the countdown,

00:29:59.609 –> 00:30:02.549
but we have added 14 to our 250. For those math

00:30:02.549 –> 00:30:05.849
people out there, that makes 264 possible shows

00:30:05.849 –> 00:30:08.349
that the panels and the people that we invite

00:30:08.349 –> 00:30:10.970
are going to be able to vote on to narrow it

00:30:10.970 –> 00:30:16.019
down. to 100 so 164 of them will not make it

00:30:16.019 –> 00:30:19.359
100 will mike any thoughts as we get one step

00:30:19.359 –> 00:30:22.559
closer in this project nope just let’s get it

00:30:22.559 –> 00:30:26.539
done steve any information for folks as far as

00:30:26.539 –> 00:30:29.059
what they can expect next from us when it comes

00:30:29.059 –> 00:30:32.740
to the countdown or how they can eventually interact

00:30:32.740 –> 00:30:35.920
and submit some opinions in other ways on the

00:30:35.920 –> 00:30:39.259
website So, of course, there’ll be ways to submit

00:30:39.259 –> 00:30:42.079
opinions on the website, not only with comments,

00:30:42.359 –> 00:30:46.259
but there is going to be a if if people have

00:30:46.259 –> 00:30:48.099
been around long enough, they remember we used

00:30:48.099 –> 00:30:53.960
to have a voicemail line. And so with this, there’ll

00:30:53.960 –> 00:30:57.359
be a new like fan zone interactive page fan zone

00:30:57.359 –> 00:31:03.180
Transformers animated. So anyways. There’ll be

00:31:03.180 –> 00:31:06.119
a limit on the amount of seconds that can be

00:31:06.119 –> 00:31:10.660
displayed on these clips. They’re going to be

00:31:10.660 –> 00:31:15.960
30 to 180 seconds available. I will try to cram

00:31:15.960 –> 00:31:18.000
as many of these in the episodes as possible.

00:31:20.079 –> 00:31:22.299
Just for, you know, to be featured on the podcast

00:31:22.299 –> 00:31:25.420
with just thoughts or whatever. So that’ll, that’ll

00:31:25.420 –> 00:31:27.740
be one way that fans can interact and, you know,

00:31:27.740 –> 00:31:29.799
share a memory about their favorite show or react

00:31:29.799 –> 00:31:32.200
to the latest rankings defending their show.

00:31:32.480 –> 00:31:36.200
But, you know, you have up to, you know, little

00:31:36.200 –> 00:31:39.640
over two minutes, about three minutes to total

00:31:39.640 –> 00:31:45.630
to gab on there. So there’s that. And then, of

00:31:45.630 –> 00:31:49.670
course, we’ll be emailing our past contributors

00:31:49.670 –> 00:31:53.329
very, very soon with the ballot and seeing if

00:31:53.329 –> 00:31:54.990
they’re interested and then submitting it through

00:31:54.990 –> 00:31:58.609
the website. And yeah. And then hopefully we

00:31:58.609 –> 00:32:03.490
have a massive. A massive amount of lists that

00:32:03.490 –> 00:32:08.450
come back to help us usher in this new 15th anniversary

00:32:08.450 –> 00:32:12.789
of the Top 100 animated series countdown. That’ll

00:32:12.789 –> 00:32:15.390
be the goal. And in the meantime, you guys will

00:32:15.390 –> 00:32:18.549
hear this episode and then there will be a hiatus,

00:32:18.549 –> 00:32:20.430
I guess you could call it, or some time gap in

00:32:20.430 –> 00:32:22.390
between when we pick up again because that will

00:32:22.390 –> 00:32:25.069
be us in the background doing all the work. We’re

00:32:25.069 –> 00:32:26.490
going to be doing all the work, collecting the

00:32:26.490 –> 00:32:29.319
list, compiling the data. formulating the actual

00:32:29.319 –> 00:32:31.720
top 100 so when you’re not hearing us talk about

00:32:31.720 –> 00:32:33.559
it just trust us we’re doing the work on the

00:32:33.559 –> 00:32:35.700
background and then we’ll be bringing you the

00:32:35.700 –> 00:32:38.720
episodes as soon as we get all of that work done

00:32:38.720 –> 00:32:41.839
and then we will start pumping these episodes

00:32:41.839 –> 00:32:45.559
out like usual Mike absolutely absolutely I do

00:32:45.559 –> 00:32:49.099
have something I still have to work through in

00:32:49.099 –> 00:32:51.119
my head and work through with Steve and other

00:32:51.119 –> 00:32:54.460
things but I do have a special episode for next

00:32:54.460 –> 00:32:58.400
time called GCR 360 It’s still something that

00:32:58.400 –> 00:33:00.960
I have working in the back of my brain, but that’s

00:33:00.960 –> 00:33:03.420
what’s happening next. And then after that, GCR

00:33:03.420 –> 00:33:06.640
will go on a break until we are ready for the

00:33:06.640 –> 00:33:11.640
top 100. So that’s what’s going on with this

00:33:11.640 –> 00:33:14.240
podcast. Anything else you guys want to bring

00:33:14.240 –> 00:33:16.460
up? Anything you want to promote? Steve, Kev,

00:33:16.599 –> 00:33:18.480
anything you guys want to talk about? Anything

00:33:18.480 –> 00:33:20.779
you got on your other podcasts that you’re doing?

00:33:21.640 –> 00:33:25.220
What’s going on with Cinema Geeks for 2026? Well,

00:33:25.259 –> 00:33:27.119
if you’re interested in movies and we got some

00:33:27.119 –> 00:33:29.920
content coming at you guys, we already have produced

00:33:29.920 –> 00:33:36.039
our box office draft battle that Dan and I had.

00:33:36.180 –> 00:33:38.859
So we each got to select a team of 10 movies

00:33:38.859 –> 00:33:40.859
and to see which one of us can make the most

00:33:40.859 –> 00:33:43.259
money, I guess you could say, at the box office.

00:33:43.400 –> 00:33:45.099
So that one’s already live and available for

00:33:45.099 –> 00:33:48.299
you guys to listen to. Coming up next or soon,

00:33:48.420 –> 00:33:54.000
we will be doing our top 10 films of 2025. top

00:33:54.000 –> 00:33:58.420
10 most anticipated films of 2026. And then we

00:33:58.420 –> 00:34:02.240
will be getting into another retrospective series.

00:34:02.400 –> 00:34:03.740
And if you want to know what that’s going to

00:34:03.740 –> 00:34:05.660
be about, then you should tune into some of those

00:34:05.660 –> 00:34:07.799
other episodes as we will start teasing that.

00:34:08.099 –> 00:34:09.800
And that’ll probably take us through the first,

00:34:09.880 –> 00:34:12.300
I don’t know, half of 2026. So it should be fun.

00:34:12.420 –> 00:34:14.280
We also got some fun episodes with some games

00:34:14.280 –> 00:34:16.900
and things that we’ll probably sprinkle in throughout

00:34:16.900 –> 00:34:19.340
to change it up here and there. Very cool. Very

00:34:19.340 –> 00:34:21.219
cool. What about you, Steve? What’s going on

00:34:21.219 –> 00:34:24.099
with Altered Geek? Anything else you got working

00:34:24.099 –> 00:34:30.219
on? Well, currently I, uh, I took advantage of

00:34:30.219 –> 00:34:34.980
the, uh, the, the new computer market. Uh -huh.

00:34:35.480 –> 00:34:40.300
Um, I bought myself a new computer, so I’m going

00:34:40.300 –> 00:34:43.920
to be setting that bad boy up and, uh, yeah,

00:34:44.079 –> 00:34:48.730
I’m excited. That was exciting. Yep, yep. There’s

00:34:48.730 –> 00:34:51.190
only currently, because I haven’t done any more

00:34:51.190 –> 00:34:53.610
research on this, but I wrote this up last year,

00:34:53.670 –> 00:34:56.869
at the end of last year. There’s only two movies

00:34:56.869 –> 00:34:59.949
I’m excited for so far in 2026 that I really

00:34:59.949 –> 00:35:05.070
want to see. Mercy and Crime 101. I’m sure if

00:35:05.070 –> 00:35:08.909
you had my list of 170 films that I looked into

00:35:08.909 –> 00:35:11.769
coming out for this next one, I could add a few

00:35:11.769 –> 00:35:15.349
to that. How the hell do you do that? No! I like

00:35:15.349 –> 00:35:20.440
Excel. I researched 170 films to come up with

00:35:20.440 –> 00:35:23.719
my top 10. Like I said, Dan and I will be going

00:35:23.719 –> 00:35:27.239
back and forth with our picks very soon. There

00:35:27.239 –> 00:35:29.579
you go. There’s a lot to look forward to. It’s

00:35:29.579 –> 00:35:31.760
going to be a crazy year at the box office. Just

00:35:31.760 –> 00:35:34.440
about every director known to man that’s a big

00:35:34.440 –> 00:35:36.780
-name director is seemingly coming out with a

00:35:36.780 –> 00:35:40.659
movie this year. Take it for what you want. Absolutely.

00:35:42.470 –> 00:35:46.090
And as for what I have coming up, folks, over

00:35:46.090 –> 00:35:51.250
on Studio 2009, it’s, well, we’re going to launch

00:35:51.250 –> 00:35:54.570
Media Mayhem, where we give you the movie choices

00:35:54.570 –> 00:35:57.989
of whomever the guest is. I launched this with

00:35:57.989 –> 00:36:00.690
my buddy David Draper, so we’ve got his episode

00:36:00.690 –> 00:36:04.769
and then my episode. Basically, the premise of

00:36:04.769 –> 00:36:08.309
this is whenever you’re born, you pick one movie

00:36:08.309 –> 00:36:11.250
the year that you were born. the next year the

00:36:11.250 –> 00:36:13.110
next year the next year up until whatever the

00:36:13.110 –> 00:36:15.429
current year is and we started this last year

00:36:15.429 –> 00:36:19.409
so we actually only went up to at the time of

00:36:19.409 –> 00:36:22.190
the recordings we went up to 2024 because 2025

00:36:22.190 –> 00:36:26.150
hadn’t fully been done yet Uh, and then we’ve

00:36:26.150 –> 00:36:29.809
got a coyote ugly and we’ve got something else

00:36:29.809 –> 00:36:32.150
coming for episode one 70. Cause it hasn’t been

00:36:32.150 –> 00:36:35.369
finished yet. And then we will be doing season

00:36:35.369 –> 00:36:38.690
three of Columbo, which has been recorded. It

00:36:38.690 –> 00:36:40.489
was recorded last year, actually. So it’s been

00:36:40.489 –> 00:36:43.969
a year in the making. Yay. Pre -production. So

00:36:43.969 –> 00:36:48.409
that’s, it’s coming up on studio 2009. And yeah,

00:36:48.489 –> 00:36:50.969
that’s going to do it for us here on Geekcast

idea in my brain, but it’s GCR 360. We’re circling

00:37:32.980 –> 00:37:36.380

00:37:48.789 –> 00:37:53.030
surrounded by crocodiles? You run. You slide.

00:37:53.429 –> 00:37:56.909
You hit the bump and take a dive. It’s Super

00:37:56.909 –> 00:37:59.469
Crocodile Mile with a high -speed air cushion

00:37:59.469 –> 00:38:02.250
bodyboard and super drencher spray. But watch
