APNSD! Chuck E. Cheese Xmas Bonus Episode 32:08

Play Pause

28d ago32:08

32:08

Chuck E. Cheese is from neither Scooby-Doo nor Hanna-Barbera but the upcoming Christmas special does share some connective tissue as it is being created by Zac Moncrief and Jon Colton Barry, the duo behind one of my all-time favourite iterations of the gang, Be Cool Scooby-Doo! Zac and Jon joined me recently to chat about a decade of Be Cool and, w…

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island Blu-ray Review and Interview 1:14:12

1:14:12

With the release of the all-new Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island Terror Time Collector's Edition I thought it would be a good idea to invite toi the show, Blair Zykan and Matt Dugan, two gentlemen who helped shepherd the film from conception to release. After the chat there is also a review of the new disc by yours truly, and I also address some of the …

Five years later, we return to hiatus watch following the announcement of upcoming Steven Universe spin off Lars Of The Stars. We give our initial reaction and impressions of this idea moments after hearing it. So while this was a fun discussion, we will obviously come back to this news once we've had more time to consider it (and remind ourselves …

1:18:24

After nearly a year since our last Titan Talk, deep in the ennui and tension of adult life, Mary, David and Ben heard a calling. Nay, a stirring in our very souls. And so we came together in the dying days of the Skype messenger service, on a sacred and singular mission – To cut the Pokedex (almost) neatly in half. That's right, as veritable boomer…

TT #9 - WHAT WERE THE CHIPS FOR??? (Masks) 1:17:14

1+ y ago1:17:14

1:17:14

Masks, the debut of Red X, is considered one of the best episodes of Season 1 - so why did we think it was so mediocre? The plot is bare-bones, questions go unanswered, there are so many opportunities for emotional fulfillment and character development that are just glossed over, and the twist, oh the TWIST! Who ever saw THAT coming??? What is this…

TT #8 - Trident - Submissive No, Breedable Yes (Deep Six) 58:45

58:45

Apologies for the impromptu break, everyone – we're back and we're ready to party! Or, uh, in this case, cringe, because despite being written by the original author of The New Teen Titans comics, this episode… isn't all that great. Of Teen Titans, I mean. WE, your humble podcasters, are in top form. And together we look on in horror as the Titans …

TT #7 - Got My Body Switched at Claire's (Switched) 1:03:30

1:03:30

Alright, time to dive headfirst into that tried and true staple of western animation, the body swap episode! None of us had remembered this one very fondly, and it turns out Mary had never seen at all. But it turns out it rules - especially because it's an EXCELLENT character study. Behold as Starfire-as-Raven destroys everything in her path, Raven…

TT #6 - I Hate You, Brain Dad (Nevermore) 1:11:19

1:11:19

In everyone's favorite Season 1 episode, Raven is subjected to too many puns and goes grimdark, prompting Beast Boy and Cyborg to venture into the Hot Topic dimension to save her. While there, they encounter not one Raven, but several! Including Finger Guns Raven, a staple of forum avatars in the mid-noughties, but not including Lust Raven, who DOE…

Today, Titan Talk goes out and touches grass! Come join us for a brief interlude at the park, followed by a much longer interlude in a hole at the dump. Points of curiosity: fine dijon mustard, five and a half pounds of baby back ribs, a nostalgic look back at Obama "scandals," and Tom Kenny in a dual role as a magical blue guy and another, less ma…

TT #4 - The Local Orb (Forces of Nature) 1:14:30

2y ago1:14:30

1:14:30

We had a bit of confusion about what this episode was called, all the way up until nearly the end of the recording. Mary and Ben could have sworn it was called Thunder and Lightning. David has the clearest head of all of us and knew from day 1 that it was Forces of Nature, and so we stand corrected. But Thunder and Lightning themselves weren't alwa…

TT #3 - Stuck in His Goo (Divide and Conquer) 51:30

51:30

Here we are at the actual Teen Titans pilot episode - one that makes it readily apparent why they decided to air Final Exam first. Between underdeveloped characters, an inorganic conflict and a weak resolution, it definitely isn't the series putting its best foot forward. Which is funny because foot-related mishaps are what drive the plot. Also, we…
