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?

Cartoon Network March 2021 Ratings Report

  • April 3, 2021

Cartoon Network continued in March as it did in February, giving us weekly premiers of Teen Titans Go, Total Dramarama, Craig of the Creek, and Bakugan: Battle Planet.

The big difference this month was the premier of Elliott From Earth, getting brand new episodes each weekday morning starting at the end of the month.

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

  • March 27, 2021

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!

Tiger Millionaire: Steven Universe’s (First) Wrestling Episode

  • March 20, 2021

Steven Universe only took nine episodes to give us Tiger Millionaire, its first wrestling episode and quite possibly GC13’s favorite episode of the series. But if GC13 loved Tiger Millionaire before he ever watched wrestling, it’s possible that you too love the episode without appreciating the care that went into making Steven Universe’s first wrestling episode.

GC13 and David discuss Flyaway from Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart.

So, we learned that dentists in the Pure Heart Valley are scary. Also about the existence of the schnepp realm (resemblances to Jon Schnepp probably not coincidental).

But mostly we’ve learned that there’s no problem Badgerclops can’t run away from in the end.

You Should Watch Kid Cosmic

  • March 13, 2021

Kid Cosmic premiered on Netflix on February 2nd, and if you haven’t watched it yet, you should!

What’s that? You wanted a bit more to go on? Well, Kid Cosmic’s visual style is meant to call back to old newspaper comics, and it makes the show look like it’s one of the Kid’s comics put into motion. It has a soundtrack to match, selling an old feel despite the presence of smartphones.

And, of course, Kid Cosmic tells a superhero origin story full of heart. It may make you sad in the middle, but that’s only to add to the coming triumph.

GC13 and David discuss Collection Quest from Glitch Techs.

It may not be his debut, but the Robo-Burgr definitely gets some time to shine, as does Miko’s sister (high school is scary). This one is a favorite episode of GC13, and that means it’s time to get nerdy!

So whether or not you buy into any conspiracy theories regarding the nature of plixels, may your quests always bring you barrels of XP.

Cartoon Network February 2021 Ratings Report

  • March 6, 2021

Well, this is rare: Cartoon Network gave us a stable schedule of weekly episode premiers in February. Teen Titans Go!, Total Dramarama, and Craig of the Creek premiered on Saturday mornings while Bakugan: Battle Planet premiered early on Sunday mornings.

There will be more of the same during March, so it will be great to compare ratings.
