In this exciting movie episode, Marc and Jordan look at the 1993 Warner Animation division effort Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, done on a tight schedule by the Batman The Animated Series crew and mis-marketed to catastrophic earnings. Fans have regarded this as one of the greatest Batman stories put to film, and while on paper there may not be a lo…

Marc and Jordan take a look at three shorts featuring Egghead, a proto-Elmer character that was used primarily by the Tex Avery unit. In 'Daffy Duck and Egghead' he's used as a foil for a bigger, wackier character, in 'Count Me Out' he's given the lead role, and in 'A Day at the Zoo' he's one of many blackout gags. You be the judge of how well the …

For our latest movie episode covering a piece of Looney-inspired filmmaking, Jordan and Marc go back to a nostalgic favorite of theirs, 2006's The Pink Panther, starring Steve Martin.

Our journey through the history of Hanna Barbara’s film output continues with 2002’s The Powerpuff Girls Movie, a film with the worst of luck and the best of intentions.

As part of our end-of-the-year tradition, Jordan and Marc look at three Looney Tunes shorts we do not like. Marc chose yet another government-issued propaganda film, the Chuck Jones-penned Drafty, Isn't It? Jordan, on the other hand, went for more perplexing failures, like Dough for the Do-Do, a shot-for-shot remake of a Clampett classic, and Horse…

Twenty episodes after conquering the 1984 original, Marc and Jordan tackle Joe Dante's 1990 sequel. Given full creative control, and a bigger budget, Warner figured Dante would produce something sensible. He did not.

Jordan and Marc take a look at Pinky and the Brain's 1998 three-part mega episode Brainwashed, including 'Brain, Brain Go Away', 'I Am Not a Hat', and 'Wash Harder'.

In a topic that Marc thought would probably be a good idea, Marc and Jordan discuss three Golden Age Looney Tunes cartoons involving dogs.
