Days Past Tooncast

Will and Travis call an emergency recording to respond to news that has toon fandom in a tizzy — the announcement of a new Thundercats cartoon, THUNDERCATS ROAR! We give our take on the promo, share some choice Twitter opinions, and share a tale of a DPTC prank gone wrong!

DPTC returns for a third helping of the toon that kicked off the podcast, the all-time classic THUNDERCATS! Will and Travis talk about the Cats' adorably creepy new neighbors, the Ro-Bear Berbils, and reflect on their own deep fear of artificial intelligence!

Inspired by RAMBO: THE FORCE OF FREEDOM, Will and Travis pitch their ideas for adapting R-rated action films of yesteryear to cartoon series! Ever wanted to see a DIE HARD toon? How about SPEED: THE ANIMATED SERIES? These and more on this minisode!

ACTION-PACKED APRIL concludes with a return to G.I. JOE and the "Primordial Plot," in which the Joes battle dinosaurs! Clonin’ bones, the Cobra work environment, the right to bear grappling hooks... good thing KAT COUCH (NATURE OF THE BEAST) is here to tackle all this and more with us!

ACTION-PACKED APRIL strikes again with the debut episode of CHUCK NORRIS KARATE KOMMANDOS, in which Chuck Norris leads a government-sanctioned team of children and Asian stereotypes into battle against the terrorist group VULTURE! 

ACTION-PACKED APRIL continues with the debut episode of M.A.S.K., a show about heroic hi-tech drivers and pilots fighting crime… or is it about one man’s private militia fighting an illegal war fueled by dirty money, blackmail, and vengeance? DPTC uncovers the truth!

In this sinister minisode, Will and Trav tackle what is perhaps THE important issue: EVIL. A new system for measuring a villain’s awfulness — The EVIL SCALE — is established and the first full draft of the 7 DEADLY TOON SINS is finally canonized.

ACTION-PACKED APRIL is here and the DPTC boys are on a mission to find the toughest, meanest, most fightin’-est two-fisted toons out there… and they may have found their man! His name? John Rambo. It doesn’t get more shirtlessly action-packed than the debut episode of RAMBO: THE FORCE OF FREEDOM!

Will and Travis bid farewell to an old friend: TOYS “R” US. With stores closing, the boys overcome car troubles for a field trip to make one final purchase and scope out what kind of toys kids these days are buying.

MARCH MARVEL MADNESS comes to a stunning conclusion as pal of the show MIMO MORREALE returns to discuss the failed 1989 pilot PRYDE OF THE X-MEN! Doggy shame, cluckholds, and more accents than you can shake a stick at! A finale in the Might Marvel Fashion, true believers!

DPTC’s 25th episode is a MARCH MARVEL MADNESS bonus! Will and Travis return to 1966’s MARVEL SUPER HEROES to hang with the AVENGERS — Captain America, Hawkeye, Scarlet Witch, and Quicksilver — as they face oppression, propaganda, and robots! Trigger warning ahead!

MARCH MARVEL MADNESS rolls on to 1979 for this terrifying episode of SPIDER-WOMAN filled to the brim with horrors ! Vampires, wolfmen, Frankenstein(s), sexism, child endangerment, beams of all kinds… this one has it all, true believer! A true golden standard of animation.

MARCH MARVEL MADNESS takes DPTC back to 1966 for THE MARVEL SUPER HEROES starring THE AVENGERS! Almost 50 years before they topped the box office, CAPTAIN AMERICA, IRON MAN, and THOR took on Zemo and his Masters of Evil on TV screens everywhere! A must-listen, True Believers!

It’s MARCH MARVEL MADNESS, True Believers! Each week, DPTC covers a different Marvel Comics toon! In this astonishing tale, SPIDER-MAN AND HIS AMAZING FRIENDS Iceman and Firestar face their greatest challenge: arcade game come to life Videoman!

After viewing such conscious toons as Fat Albert, Bravestarr, and Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, DPTC asks the question: What team of toons would YOU want to help a loved one on the wrong path? Will, Travis, and returning guest Mimo Morreale assemble their own Cartoon All-Stars on this stunning mini-episode!
