Two lifelong friends who have a lifelong love for Warner Brothers Animation discuss Looney Tune Cartoons.
Continuing our Tweety June, where we dive into previously underlooked Tweety and Sylvester cartoons, we cover 3 from the early 50s, right around when Freleng and Foster got the formula down. Two of these are on the soon-to-be-released Looney Tunes' Collector's Vault that Warner Archive is putting out. Two of these were among Jordan's favorites from his years watching the Golden Collections. And one of these is something we've been meaning to cover for a while.Links:Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we look at even more Sylvester and Tweety shorts, this time all from the year 1951! Jordan sees Warren Foster come into the writing stylings of S+T with 'Putty Tat Trouble' Marc sees double Granny's (and a whole ot of animals) in 'Room and Bird' And we finish with a short that gives us serious questions about the origins of Tweety with the simply titled 'Tweet Tweet Tweety'Links:Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Marc and Jordan kick off Tweety June, a month of episodes full of Tweety and Sylvester shorts we somehow haven't gotten to yet, with three from the Tedd Pierce era, I Taw a Putty Tat, Bad Ol Putty Tat and Home Tweet Home. In here, we find great gags, early installment weirdness and writerly affectations, while Marc tries his damnedest to tell these two flagship characters apart.Links:Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
In what is quite possibly the worst movie we've had to watch for this commentary series, join us as we commentate on the Hanna-Barbera adaptation that put these films on ice for 10 straight years with 2010's Yogi Bear!Links:Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we come to the last Cartoon Network The Big Game Special (which, timeline-wise wise this is actually the first Looney one!) With The Big Game: Sylvester Vs Tweety from 1999! We got Inside the NFL Commentators! John Madden and Pat Summerall! And what WAS going on at that pub in Atlanta?Links:Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
To kick off our summer of cats, Jordan and Marc go back to an old favorite, the 90s Kids WB favorite Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries, for two different episodes from their first season, 'The Cat Who Knew Too Much' and 'A Ticket to Crime'. We've discussed at length the issues of doing both a Murder She Wrote pastiche and a load of Sylvester and Tweety gags in one 22 minute episode, but does this tug and overflow threaten to derail the show for us, or do we still value the laughs over the issues? And how exactly did Granny get those beads anyway?Links:Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
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 lot that's Looney about it, there's still zany performances, wild ideas and visuals, amazing animation, and Abe Vigoda.Links:Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we take a look at three modern (at the time) cartoons that have done send-ups of the Looney Tunes! Jordan covers a 90's Nicktoon that, has its fleeting moments of loonery with Hey Arnold's 'What's Opera, Arnold?" Marc takes Jordan through the desert plane of the Kindergarten from Steven Universe with 'Kindergarten Kid' And we conclude with a pretty Looney segment from a Disney cartoon of all things with Timon and Pumbaa's 'Timon on The Range'Links:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
In this episode, Jordan and Marc look at three cartoons featuring the underrated Jones/Maltese creation Frisky Puppy, paired with Claude Cat. From humble beginnings in the 1950's Two's a Crowd, to more intricate gag work in Terrier Stricken, to what is essentially the Ken Harris Masterpiece Theatre in No Barking.Links:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we see Bugs Bunny take on world leaders and foes from throughout history (and the world!) Bugs goes up against Christopher Columbus in 'Hare We Go' Then proceeds to go head to head with 'Napoleon. in 'Napoleon-Bunny Part' and we conclude with a short THAT IS FROM 1964 and don't you forget it, with Dumb Patrol!Links:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
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 character does in each scenario.Links:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we commentate on a sentimental favorite from our youth with the James Gunn-written (for the target audience this time) Sequel, Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed!Links:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Join us as we take a look at even more shorts produced during World War 2! Jordan covers a Clampett War Short that really has an axe to grind over a german dictator in 'Russian Rhapsody' Marc looks at Chuck Jones' attempt at covering America during wartime in 'The Weakly Reporter' And we conclude with both of us watching Mel Blanc and Chuck Jones give it their all to a patriotic horse in 'The Draft Horse'Links:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
Just in time for the regularly designated spring break week, Marc and Jordan look at two different Spring Break specials the Tiny Toons crews did, and it acts as a sobering look at how much the concept of spring break has changed in 30 years. 1994's Tiny Toon Adventures Spring Break special is a look at an animation unit in flux, and between projects, while 2024's Tiny Toons Looniversity's 'Spring Beak' special is a look at the reboot's strengths, weaknesses and desire to fit into what's expected of modern animated shows.

Join us as we prep for the BRAND NEW LOONEY TUNES MOVIE COMING TO THEATERS THIS WEEK with 'The Day The Earth Blew Up' by watching 3 Porky and Daffy short directed by the great Bob Clampett! Jordan sees Daffy being Porky's doctor (eventually) in 'The Daffy Doc' Marc sees Daffy and Porky running a food stand in 'Porky's Last Stand' and we end with a 1940's remake of a Porky/Gabby Goat cartoon with 'Tick Tock Tuckered'LINKS:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
To commemorate the 90th anniversary of Porky Pig's debut in I Haven't Got a Hat, Jordan and Marc look at three 1930s Porky Pig cartoons that formed the basis of the legendary character. From his first solo lead role in The Blow-Out to a historian-lauded turn in Porky's Romance to a wild Tashlin romp in The Case of the Stuttering Pig, we discuss what worked for this character, what didn't, and lots of other ridiculous extraneous details.LINKS:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
We go into the desert for the 7th (and maybe penultimate? We're almost outta Coyote!) Wile Coyote/Road Runner shorts! We cover Ready, Set, Zoom!, Hip Hip Hurry! and a 1961 Coyote short that does a bit of experimentation with Lickety-Splat!Links:Support Jonathan's GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
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. With a franchise to keep alive and a legacy to keep to, Shawn Levy's reboot both took risks and stayed safe in the shadow of studio interference. But does this work as a slapstick showcase for the 2000s, even with a long lineage of superior Sellers showcases?

Join us as we prep for our next movie episode by looking at some Freleng/Freleng Adjacent Pink Panther Shorts! Marc finds what happens when the Panther invades the home of a drunk in 'Pink Pajamas' Jordan sees what improvements are made when you get Mel Blanc to voice the drunk (and his wife!) in 'Pickled Pink' And we both watch what happens when the Pink Panther is no longer cool and written by a fool with 'Pink Press' LINKS Support Jonathan's GoFundMe Support us on Patreon Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Bluesky Follow us on Instagram
After Chuck Jones left Warner Brothers, owing to many factors but not unrelated to Gay Purr-ee, he spent several years as an in-house director at MGM, which led to his entire Warner unit making Tom & Jerry theatrical shorts. Thus, Marc and Jordan look at three of them here, including Pent-House Mouse, Ah Sweet Mouse-Story of Life, and Cat and Dulpli-cat. This era of Tom and Jerry has a reputation, and the key to it hinges on Chuck himself, and his ability to understand what makes a great Tom and Jerry cartoon; he didn't.

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. This is a movie nearly Jordan or Marc have seen in years and one we haven't especially formed an opinion on, despite a love for the show. With this commentary, find out if our opinion changes.

This Week, we cover a show that practically stole the name of a beloved Looney Tunes director and tried to do something with it, with 'The Wacky World Of Tex Avery' It just may be one of the worst things we've had to watch for this show!

For the fourth time on this show, Jordan and Marc take a look at three different Pepe Le Pew episodes. Little Beau Pepe, from the early era of Pepe's run, and Heaven Scent and Who Scent You from the later days of the studio. Are these particularly memorable selections from the run of this character? The runtime of this episode may allude to the answer. Links: Jonathan's GoFundMe Page Support Us on Patreon Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Bluesky Follow us on Instagram
Join us as we kick off Season 5 of That's Not Quite All Folks by looking at some Elmer Fudd-focused shorts we should have covered by now! Marc looks at Elmer Fudd Vs Ants via War with 'Ant Pasted' Jordan finds a Freleng Elmer/Bugs Short that goes out of its way to be different in 'Hare Brush' And we both cover a 1940s spin on hypnosis with 'The Hare Brained Hypnotist' Links: Jonathan's GoFundMe Page Support Us on Patreon Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Bluesky Follow us on Instagram
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 Hare, a Bugs short too damned racist to be remastered. Hilarity, tedium and value judgments towards the French ensue. LINKS: Support us on Patreon Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Bluesky Follow us on Instagram
It's the most wonderful time of the year as for the third year in a row, we are looking at, criticizing, and riffing at, Commercials that star the Looney Tunes! There's familiar faces with Tang and Post Cereal, as well as new companies to the mix like Aflac and now defunct car manufacturers (well, not all of them defunct, did you know the 1992 Toyotas are here? hehehehehe) LINKS: Support us on Patreon Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Bluesky Follow us on Instagram
For this episode, Marc and Jordan, intrigued after the Tex Avery MGM episode from earlier in the year, track down three different Droopy Dog cartoons from over the course of his run, ranging from the early MGM days to the Hanna Barbera late 50s run. They are joined by Pemmy, Krissi and James from The Pemmy, Krissi and James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon Podcast [and now I will give my fingers a moment to rest from typing all of that title out], who have a unique, wider-reaching cartoon background to contribute to this wild, wacky and hecking good time.

Join us as we FINALLY get around to covering one of the most recent Looney projects with the TV-Y7 show, Bugs Bunny Builders! Jordan sees Bugs and crew build a waterslide for mayor Foghorn Leghorn in 'Splash Zone' Marc sees the Builders go TO MARS to handle K-9 in 'K-9 Spacy Puppy' And we both see the return of a classic Looney character in a new light with 'Catwalk' LINKS: Support That's Not Quite All Folks On Patreon Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Bluesky Follow us on Instagram
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. It may be the Looniest film ever made, which helps considering the presence of Chuck Jones, Leonard Maltin and Jerry Goldsmith. Needless to say, we had a nice time with this one.

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'. It's a special with so many elements, so many references, and so many really crucial story moves, that it honestly could have been the series finale. Still, our hosts discuss the 1960's series The Prisoner, the merits of ABBA, and whether or not this could have been done in two parts rather than three.LINKS:Support That's Not Quite All Folks on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on InstagramFollow us on Bluesky

To wrap our monthlong venture into the annals of Cartoon Network's Duck Dodgers series, Jordan and Marc take on three different 'fan favorite' episodes from throughout the show's history, including an inspired use of the guy who sings the theme song, a loving homage to a timeslot-mate, and a Megadeth showcase for some reason.

Jordan sees Duck Dodgers deal with the SPACE THEME of...high school and dealing with Dane Cook in The Kids Are All Wrong / Win, Lose or Duck, while Marc sees Hollywood Director Quinten Tarantino become a voice actor (and fail) as well as a return of two beloved mobster Looney Tunes characters in Master & Disaster/All in the Crime Family!

In a topic that Marc thought would probably be a good idea, Marc and Jordan discuss three Golden Age Looney Tunes cartoons involving dogs. Two of them, It's Hummer Time and Early To Bet, involve the same cat and dog duo. A third, Dog Gone South, centers around a dog character we haven't covered for a couple of years, and for good reason.

For our supersized and bursting-at-the-seams 200th episode, Marc and Jordan tackle 3 shorts they've somehow never covered before, including the cult classic Chow Hound, the Clampett landmark The Old Grey Hare, and the terrific Yosemite Sam short The Fair Haired Hair, as well as episodes from Looney television shows that demanded their attention, like a bonkers episode of The Looney Tunes Show, two Michigan J. Frog-centric Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries segments, and that Tiny Toon Adventures episode that was written by a few eighth graders. Links: Support That's Not Quite All Folks On Patreon!

Bugs teach us how cartoons work in 'Bad Time Stories' Bugs introduces us to a way to save on animation THE BRAND NEW STARS OF THE BUGS BUNNY SHOW in 'Ballpoint Puns' Bugs uses Taz as a segue device in 'Do or Diet' and we conclude with, well, trust us you don't wanna know in 'A Tale of Two Kitties'
Continuing our quest to cover a number of incidental Looney projects before we hit 200, Marc and Jordan check out 1991's Bugs Bunny's Overtures to Disaster, a TV special featuring new animation by the Ford/Lennon crew, as well as some golden age shorts that are nowhere near as surprising as the picks from last week's episode.
As we venture into some specials we haven't covered yet on the show, in this week's episode we talk about 1988's Bugs vs. Daffy- Battle of the Music Video Stars! It's a strange time for Looney Tunes products, with Greg Ford and Terry Lennon directing Mel Blanc in a curated musical history of the franchise. It's sweet and all, but is it Looney enough?
Join us as we look at two documentaries covering the history of Looney Tunes directors! We look at a project that has roots in the 90's and 2000s with the works of Friz Freleng in 'Friz on Film' Followed up by every person Marc and Jordan ever knew and admired as kids with 'Chuck Jones: Extremes and Inbetweens"
