Poitcast is a podcast dedicated to the beloved cartoon characters Pinky and The Brain. Join your hosts Mary Jo (Pines) and Kellie (Pluto) as they chronicle the evolution of the mice across the four shows they starred in; Animaniacs (1993), Pinky and The Brain (1995), Pinky, Elmyra, and The Brain (1998), and the Animaniacs Reboot (2020). They'll review each episode and discuss their favorite character moments, jokes, and pop-cultural references in addition to providing some trivia. Finally, each episode will receive a Narf Rating, a ten-scale rating system in which a One Narf Out of Ten is "I resent this" and Ten Narfs Out of Ten is "world-dominating"! Give a listen and help us spread the love for those funny little lab mice who want to take over the world!
Join Mary Jo (Pines) and Kellie (Pluto), as they discuss A Little Off The Top and (one of their favorite episodes) Megalomaniacs Anonymous! A Little Off The Top is a biblical spoof where Brain attempts to find the source of Samson's strength. Megalomaniacs Anonymous is an insightful character study in which Brain realizes that his obsession with world domination causes him great pain and he goes to a support group designed for megalomaniacs. Feeling rejuvenated, Brain decides to use his newfound free time to help the victims of other megalomaniacs, only to realize that the biggest codependent victim is Pinky.
