The trio break down their thoughts on the animation, narrative, and character ups-and-downs, all while getting a laugh at the dark humor sprinkled throughout Kid Cosmic’s ten episode debut.

GC13 and David discuss NanoZim from Invader Zim.
Do you want to see what a 3D budget can do in an early 2000s show? Well, NanoZim is your episode. Dib and Zim may both be dumb, but the money was very wisely spent.
So load up Dib’s Nanochase if you can find it: we don’t get games for cartoon episodes anymore, and that’s a shame.

Because Everyone Loves a Callback: Hilda’s Jorts Incident
As an episodic series, Hilda sends its characters off on different adventures not connected by a tight story arc. That’s not to say that it doesn’t matter what order you watch Hilda’s episodes in—it definitely does.
Take The Jorts Incident for example: it brings back the tide mice from Hilda’s first season to tell another story with them, while at the same time showing us how Frida has grown as a witch since earlier in the season.

GC13 and David discuss Mom Soon from Summer Camp Island.
So, Skadi punches clouds and craves her mother’s approval, while Hedgehog boils pianos and doesn’t care much about her mother’s approval. It seems like there are some lessons that can be taught here, even if it ends up putting Hedgehog in debt.
And yes, there’s also more fuel for the retcon fire.

Brigid’s Return: Craig of the Creek’s Children of the Dog
Brigid was one of Craig of the Creek’s one-episode characters for over two years, but The Children of the Dog finally brought her back. No longer a cult leader, Brigid seems to have gone mainstream by becoming the creek version of a televangelist.
It’s not a direction I saw coming, but Brigid remains. Do you think Craig of the Creek could bring her back for a third episode?

GC13 and David discuss Adventures in Pet Training from Glitch Techs.
Do you think with your thumper, or your thinker? That is to say: what is a glitch but a– Wait, wrong episode!
Delve deep into the philosophy of clones and software this episode, thanks to the wonders of science-fiction. Also, if 2016’s Ghostbusters and Wreck-It Ralph are being referenced in cartoons now, does that make us old?

GC13 and David bring doom to the podcast by discussing the first episode of Invader Zim: The Nightmare Begins.
If you’ve never seen Invader Zim, if you’ve never seen The Nightmare Begins, then do yourself a favor and treat yourself. It was the perfect first episode for Invader Zim, and Invader Zim itself is still a series well worth starting even after twenty years.

Infinity Train’s Dark Secret: The Mirror World and Reflection Enforcement
Reflection Enforcement was a villainous presence in Infinity Train for an entire season, but we’ve only ever met two of their enforcers: Mace and Sieve. What they’ve left us with is evidence of a dark conspiracy.
Not only is the Mirror World probably the worst place to live in all of Infinity Train, things are probably far worse than your average reflection thinks…

GC13 and David discuss Space Invasion from Summer Camp Island.
Oscar is a great host, but it really breaks him down. Perhaps his mother set too good an example? Much like Hedgehog’s mother also set a pretty high (low?) bar for Hedgehog to tackle. It’s no wonder the King made the decision he did…
And you know what? We want to stay at the fun cabin too!
