Saturday Supercast 33 – Alf and Alf Tales
on April 10, 2013 at 5:25 pmPosted In: Blog, Saturday Supercast
Alf! Gordon Shumway! Alf Tales! and More!
I’m going to throw a premise at you: An alien crashes in your garage, breaks all of your furniture, and threatens to eat your cats. Does this sound like a show you would watch? I’m joined by Dave Roman, Matt Hawkins, and Anne Drozd, who team up to convince me that I missed out on a crucial piece of childhood in the 80s by not paying attention to the Alf sitcom and follow-up animated series Alf: The Animated Series and Alf Tales.

- The “subliminal” message in an explosion in The Phantom Pilot

Saturday Supercast 32 – Boys Who Like Girls’ Shows
on February 13, 2013 at 4:28 pmPosted In: Blog, Saturday Supercast
My Little Pony! Strawberry Shortcake! Jem! Truly Outrageous!
I’m joined by Dave Roman and Shawn Robare for a discussion on 80s cartoons designed for an audience of girls (though that didn’t stop us boys from loving them!). We kick off with talk about the surprisingly intense My Little Pony: Rescue at Midnight Castle, then move on to The World of Strawberry Shortcake, and close with a chat about outrageous rocker gals on guitar-shaped motorcycles, Jem!

on December 23, 2012 at 3:58 amPosted In: Saturday Supercast
My wife Anne and I recently visited the home of Dave Roman and Raina Telgemeier for an all-day viewing of Christmas cartoons and specials. We then turned on the microphone to have a discussion on the shows we watched. While it’s not the usual in-depth discussions and walkthroughs you’ve come to expect from the Supercast, it is a bit of a Christmas Cartoon Party, full of observations, recollections, and analysis over a wide range of shows.
Links mentioned in this episode:
- It’s a Spongebob Christmas!
- Cobra C.L.A.W.S. are Coming to Town
- Rudolph’s Shiny New Year
- The Bear
- Jingle All The Way
- A Hannah-Barbera Christmas Collection
- Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Fleischer Studios)
- The Art of Skiing
- Comics Are Great! episode 40 – where Jerzy and Dave discuss The Muppets
