Podcasts about Looney Tunes

This week on Forgotten Horror 7, the Mikes dive headfirst into one of the goriest, goofiest horror comedies ever made; "Dead Alive" (1992), also known as "Braindead".Both Mike Butler and Mike Field absolutely love this film. It's zany, it's silly, and it's drenched in more blood and guts than you could possibly imagine. Like a deranged "Looney Tunes" short turned up to eleven, "Dead Alive" is a splatter-filled masterpiece that somehow balances absurdity with genuine craftsmanship.The Mikes talk about how Peter Jackson (yes, that Peter Jackson) managed to create a film that's as revolting as it is riotously fun. From lawnmower massacres to undead romance, this is the kind of movie that reminds you just how creative, shocking, and downright weird early 90s horror could be.So grab your mop and your stomach...this one's going to get messy.What's your favorite horror comedy film?

Today's episode includes: • Laika released the first look of Wildwood • Crash and Eddie may not appear in Ice Age: Boiling Point, according to Seann William Scott • Warner Bros. Discovery is for sale after Paramount failed to acquire the company • The Looney Tunes cartoons entered the Top 10 most viewed shows on Tubi • Sony Pictures Animation and Netflix are making The Mitchells vs. The Machines 2

Volvemos después del período "vacacional", entrecomillado porque hemos hecho más programas que de normal, aunque sarna con gusto no pica, al ritmo normal, estrenos en salas, plataformas, lo que hemos visto esta semana, aparte de lo del título, La Mujer del Camarote 10, Looney Tunes y Platónico, nuestras tontadas y para acabar, los tops de Sitges.

On this episode, Scott and Michael celebrate fall by looking back at the forgotten cereal mascot, Crazy Cow, as well as NBC's “Laugh Busters,” the Saturday morning preview special from 1984. In honor of Halloween, they also look at more of their scariest moments in animation, which includes 1990's “Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue,” the Looney Tunes cartoon, “Three Little Bops,” and two classic Betty Boop cartoons. There's also discussion around animation they're catching up on, such as “Linus the Lionhearted” and “Marvel Zombies.” Find more From Pencils to Pixels: The Animation Celebration Podcast at: www.rf4rm.com Follow the show on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BH6dKaVMe/?mibextid=LQQJ4d Follow the hosts on social media: Scott on X/Twitter: @scotthopkins76 Michael on X/Twitter: @mlyonsfl I Michael's website: www.wordsfromlyons.com Rate, review, & subscribe to From Pencils to Pixels on Apple podcasts I Google Play I Stitcher                

An icon of 20th Century American humor, Jack Benny started as a violinist who would use comedy to save himself from bombing. He ended up as a legendary comedian who used the violin as one part of an indelible comic character. Vain, stingy, and eternally 39, Jack became a hit in the 1930s on the then-new medium of radio. He turned that into a stellar movie and television career -- earning himself three stars on Hollywood's Walk of Fame -- one each for movies, radio, and television. Benny was also part of Hollywood's comedy old guard with friends ranging from Bob Hope and Johnny Carson to Benny's long-time best bud George Burns. Benny is often cited as the Jedi master of comic timing -- he could bring down the house with just a glance, a shrug, or a perfectly timed "Well!" As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Jack Benny This is short but worth seeing the visuals as Jack is called out on his age in a delightfully backhanded way. https://youtu.be/qCCzO-9pWls?si=RIi6-QPXUqS4J074 Jack's radio show was fun for some of the byplay between Jack and Announcer Don Wilson. This "marathon" of Benny radio shows has a nice example at the start -- then stick around for more!https://youtu.be/qCCzO-9pWls?si=RIi6-QPXUqS4J074 Jack and Johnny Carson were good friends, dating back to when Johnny was the new kid in town. This bit from Jack's tv show is great fun. https://youtu.be/mUd1-_91YTk?si=3Ob1JIItYTInlxjO Jack received a rare honor when he was cast in his very own Looney Tunes cartoon. Here's a taste, featuring some of Jack's regular co-stars. https://youtu.be/xB6TSameuYQ?si=XUz2xQuUgOuXrQVS

By the late 30s, Warner Bros finally managed to develop some cartoon stars that would end up standing the test of time, like Porky Pig and Daffy Duck. But their biggest star still hadn't arrived, until this short! Sort of! Tho the rabbit in this short is a far cry from Bugs Bunny as we know him today, it's still an important stepping stone on the way to Bugs' eventual actual debut in 1940. But historical importance aside, is the cartoon any good, so many years later? Listen to find out!

Marcus' What You Know 'Bout That trivia game for Monday October 20th, 2025.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay get groovy baby, during Spooky Sleazon as they discuss the indescribable classic, 'Evil Dead II.' Andy kicks it off telling a story about the time he and friends tried to channel their own Ash-like maybe by having chainsaw battles, and it turned out about as well as reading a passage from the Necronomicon. Then the fellas make an argument for this being possibly the greatest film of all-time as it starts as a one man show that blends live action Looney Tunes-style comedy with truly unsettling moments. Body parts get severed, blood pours from every conceivable opening, and it's all held together by the undeniable charisma — and classic Hollywood good looks — of Bruce Campbell. The 'Evil Dead' franchise not only reshaped horror, but the reverberations of its impact changed comic book movies forever as director Sam Raimi would later be given the keys to one of the biggest franchises of all-time. Check out the ep, and you'll be having a burning in helluva good time.

Did you know, that in the Middle Ages, Europe was riddled with skats (Skunk - Cat hybrids)? How would you deal with this? If your idea does not involve animal suits and ambush, you might be doing it wrong. In case anything seems dark about the Looney Tunes inspiration for our skit, rest assured that all the characters are completely indefensible. Listen for the trick to overcoming skunk discharges in almost all scenarios. Except nightmares, or large groups.

Marcus Myrick does not shy away from being a 'nepo baby' and it's endearing. His projects include G.I. Joe: Renegades, Family Guy, The Looney Tunes Show, Tron: Uprising, Kaijudo: Rise of the Duel Masters, Camp Lazlo! and The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack. He was also an assistant editor on Black Dynamite. With such an impressive list of projects, Marcus shares how his father, Ron Myrick, a veteran in the animation industry, played a pivotal role in his career of choice. Now, with over 20 years in the industry, we talk about that longevity as well as what being an animatic editor is in post-production. We dive into how the industry continues to evolve regarding technology and content and how during times when opportunities are few, connections mean everything. Marcus offers advice for aspiring editors and adds what he's learned from his dad and how it's helped him navigate his career and life.

Nun gruseln sie sich durch die frühe Gewalt bei Max und Moritz, huldigen den Looney Tunes und lassen so manche Welt aus dem Hause Hanna-Barbera hochleben. Welk schwärmt von Der blauen Elise und offenbart sein kindliches Knack-Ohr-Ritual. Kalk spürt den frühen Tränen um Schweinchen Dick nach und trällert wie aus dem EffEff ganze Titellieder.

Imagine if, you will, that Hershel Gordon Lewis and Looney Tunes had a Kung Fu baby. Got that picture in your mind? No? Well, we just watched that Kung Fu baby in Riki-Oh: The Story of Ricky. Based on a manga and accurately described as a Kung-Fu Splatter film, Riki-Oh lives up to the hype as the first Hong Kong film to be slapped with a Category III rating (NC-17 equivalent) for violence. If a thin story and exploding heads are your thing, then it's a MUST watch for you.

Private SNAFU was a series of black-and-white animated shorts of three to five minutes in length recounting various misadventures of the title character as he goes to war. The purpose of the training videos was to socialize and reinforce the importance of adherence existing US Army policies and procedures and helping to introduce soldiers to potential hazards and challenges that they would face in combat. Produced by Warner Bros. using a Looney Tunes animation style, the shorts used comedy to get the points across that failing to adhere to the rules would compromise the mission and likely get oneself killed or seriously injured. We examine these videos through an organizational socialization lens – how to impart the needed rules and regulations to a large number of homesick and nervous soldiers and make the messages stick?

Our Chinese martial arts movie kick continues with the 1994 action comedy Legend of The Red Dragon, which soon descends into a trope filled, silly, Looney Tunes-style live-action cartoon that forgoes logic and sense for as many visual gags as it is possible to jam in there and, do ya know what, we are totally … Continue reading "462: Legend of The Red Dragon [1994] Movie Discussion"

It may not be news to listeners of this podcast, but the Looney Tunes cartoons can be very gay. In celebration of the nearly 800 shorts being hosted on Tubi, Drew, Glen and returning guest Tony Rodriguez look at some of our favorites that also lend themselves to a queer reading. And no, it's not all Bugs Bunny in Drag. In fact, we probably didn't pick the drag moments you're expecting. But no worries: There is zero Tweety content in this episode.

(Spoiler Section Length - 8min 20sec)We reach the end of our Looney Tunes movie marathon with the film that inspired the marathon in the first place! This movie came out very recently, but you'd be forgiven for not knowing about it, given how little it was advertised. It's a cartoon 50's sci-fi B-movie starring Porky, Daffy and Petunia, involving a space invader and a copious amount of bubblegum. It's also a premiere example of how little Warner Bros-Discovery values animation in this day and age. But company mismanagement aside, is the film actually... good? Listen to find out!

By the late 30s, Disney had accrued multiple big cartoon stars, but Warner Bros still really just had the one: Porky Pig. Then Porky went on a duck hunt and the studio started to think... maybe we've got the makings for a second star. 1938 is the year they would try to make Daffy Duck a star, and what better way to start than by having him co-star with Porky? In these two shorts we explore Daffy's earliest cartoons where he's a headliner star, and ask ourselves... do these still hold up?

One little typo turns into a whole episode. Eric mixes up “desert” and “dessert,” and suddenly we're off talking about sand, sweets, and whether cheesecake really is the king of them all. Along the way, we cover Looney Tunes backdrops, wrestling gimmicks, and what counts as a snack versus a dessert.The easy way to remember desert vs. dessertFamous deserts in the U.S. (and Todd's camping trips there)Why the Undertaker is from Death ValleyLooney Tunes and our picture of what deserts look likeSoft serve machines at home and the hierarchy of ice creamWhat really makes something a dessert (timing? sweetness?)Cheesecake Factory trips and declaring a winnerTurns out deserts are dry, desserts are sweet, and both can spark way more debate than you'd think.

It's Mighty Monday and Ryan is here to help us chat about the 1996 classic sports movie, Space Jam. ABOUT SPACE JAM:In a desperate attempt to win a basketball match and earn their freedom, the Looney Tunes seek the aid of retired basketball champion, Michael Jordan.AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR SPACE JAM:November 15, 1996 | TheatersCAST & CREW OF SPACE JAM:Michael Jordan as HimselfBilly West as Bugs BunnyWayne Knight as Stan PodolakBill Murray as HimselfLarry Bird as HimselfCharles Barkley as HimselfPatrick Ewing as HimselfMuggsy Bogues as HimselfLarry Johnson as HimselfShawn Bradley as HimselfBRAN'S SPACE JAM SYNOPSIS:Little Michael Jordan is up late, playing basketball outside. His dad tells him to keep shooting until he misses. Michael says he wants to play ball at North Carolina. As he runs toward the hoop and jumps, the scene transitions to adult MJ jumping, leading into a 5+ minute highlight reel of Jordan clips. Honestly, it could've been an hour longer and I still would've been in.Michael then retires from basketball, and we transition to outer space. We're dropped onto Moron Mountain, a struggling amusement park. Its owner, Mr. Swackhammer, decides the best course of action is to kidnap the Looney Tunes to be the park's new attraction. His little henchmen head to Earth to hold the Tunes hostage, but Bugs Bunny convinces them to allow the Tunes to defend themselves, challenging them to a basketball game since the aliens are so small.After seeing a documentary about basketball and learning there are professionals, the aliens travel to Earth and steal the talents of Charles Barkley, Shawn Bradley, Patrick Ewing, Larry Johnson, and Muggsy Bogues. Using this talent, they transform into giant, baller versions of themselves known as the Monstars.When the Looney Tunes see how big the Monstars are, they realize they need help. They need the greatest to ever do it: Michael Jordan.They track MJ down at the golf course and literally pull him through a hole. Honestly, MJ handles it surprisingly well and he's in.Back on Earth, the real NBA players discover they've lost their ability to play, leading the league to suspend the season until they figure out what's happening.It's time for the big game, and the Monstars dominate the first half. The Tune Squad is devastated.During halftime, MJ's assistant Stan (who showed up earlier in the movie) learns how the Monstars stole the players' talent. This discourages the Tunes even more—until Bugs pulls out MJ's “secret stuff,” which is just water, but convinces the squad to believe in themselves.MJ raises the stakes with Swackhammer, as only he would: if the Tune Squad wins, the Monstars return the stolen talent. If the Monstars win, Jordan will spend the rest of his life as Moron Mountain's newest attraction.The Tunes fight back, but with only ten seconds left, they're down to four players. Luckily, Bill Murray shows up to even things out.In the final moments, Jordan talks to Bugs, uses cartoon physics, stretches his arm across the court, and slam-dunks for the win.After Swackhammer berates the Monstars, Jordan helps them realize they only served him because they were small. Fed up, the Monstars stuff Swackhammer into a missile and launch him to the moon. They then relinquish the stolen talent and decide to stay with the Tunes.Meanwhile, Jordan and Stan return to Earth, restoring the NBA stars' abilities.

After many years of attempting to get one of his childhood favourite movies on the show, Zach has finally succeeded. This week, we're finally watching the animated Soviet Union version of Treasure Island from 1988. This joint Russian and Ukrainian production takes a Looney Tunes-type approach to the classic adventure story, and has one of the funniest English dubs we've ever come across. While it has spawned many memes over recent years, we wanted to see if the movie itself is still any good.Join our Patreon for our bonus episodes! https://www.patreon.com/oldiebutagoodiepodFollow the show!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/oldiebutagoodiepod/Facebook: https://fb.me/oldiebutagoodiepodPodcast Platforms: https://linktr.ee/oldiebutagoodiepodGot feedback?

In this episode of Casual Chats, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 2025 animated film The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie based on the 2020 HBO Max series Looney Tunes Cartoons. Daffy Duck and Porky Pig were orphans raised by a farmer named Jim. He left them the farmhouse where it's now in disrepair and disarray. After failing a house inspection, they have several days to raise money to fix their roof before they lose their house forever. They work at a gum factory where a new flavor is being promoted, but an alien invader tampers with it to create gum zombies. It's up to Daffy, Porky, and Petunia Pig to save the earth from aliens.The film went through massive production hell and was even written off for tax purposes by Warner Bros. before an animation company called Ketchup Entertainment saved the film from obscurity. It received a short theatrical release with no advertisement. Despite making its budget back of $15 million dollars, it received positive reviews from critics and animation fans. What did Arun and Patricia think of the film?

This is the episode where Nadia gets the cure! She wakes up! She's back! But, it's also the one where we lose Nadia. And Renee Rienne (at the hands of Sydspinosa!). This is also the one where Sydney has an alias that's a combo of Elle Woods and Melanie Carmichael, Tom does a Looney Tunes mission, and Sloane reveals that he has never left his Rambaldi fanaticism. It's also the one where Bree and Jess talk a lot about how much they're enjoying season 5. MUSIC: The featured music in this episode matches from streaming to original.

What happens when Supernatural meets Looney Tunes? Cartoon chaos and chunky blood splooges!Berly and LA tackle Season 8's delightfully bonkers "Hunteri Hirochi," where hearts beat out of chests, people float like Wile E. Coyote, and anvils drop with cartoon precision. Castiel's adorably fumbling his new hunting career while getting adopted as "Charles" by retirement home resident Sheila.The case: a catatonic psychic named Fred Jones whose powers are being exploited for cartoon-physics bank heists. Cue black hole tunnels, frying pan face imprints on Dean, and some surprisingly deep philosophical takes from Cass about roadrunners representing humanity's chase for divinity.Plus: Sam's Amelia flashbacks, the 64th official blood splooge count, and speculation about Detective Glass maybe hooking up with Sam off-screen.Warning: May cause emotional investment in elderly characters and sudden urges to rewatch cartoons with existential dread.Sources:https://supernatural.fandom.com/wiki/Hunteri_Heroicihttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2076426/episodes/11741241 Send us your review!Support the showTHANK YOU FOR LISTENING!Please rate and review Denim-Wrapped Nightmares wherever you get your podcasts!

01:00:44 – FBI Hides Epstein Footage, Trump May Pardon P. DiddyOpening topics hit fast: speculation that the FBI is withholding surveillance video from Epstein's cell, talk of Trump possibly pardoning P. Diddy, and questions over whether Ghislaine Maxwell could be next. 01:16:41 – Cincinnati Racially Motivated Beating OutrageThe show condemns comments from Cincinnati City Council President Pro Tem Victoria Parks, who said she was “grateful” for a black mob beating white victims. Discussion centers on media double standards, hate crime hypocrisy, and cultural propaganda against whites. 01:26:08 – Pelosi Act: Political Theater, Not ReformThe Senate committee advances the Pelosi Act to ban certain stock trades — but carves out exemptions for Trump and VP Vance. Framed as partisan score-settling, not genuine anti-corruption reform. 01:41:27 – UK Police Arrest Gardener for Using a TrowelUK police treat gardening tools as “offensive weapons,” arresting a man tending his own garden. The segment ridicules UK law enforcement as a clown show more focused on harmless citizens than real criminals. 01:59:17 – UK's Inverted JusticeCommentary on how authorities ignore terrorism and violent crime while punishing harmless acts like gardening or online speech. The UK's priorities are described as upside-down and politically motivated. 02:13:00 – Immigration Arrest Video Sparks OutrageA Florida traffic stop turns violent when immigration officers choke and tase two men. The American filming the incident is threatened and charged for refusing to delete the footage — a move the show calls pure thuggery. 02:46:07 – Poll: Nearly Half Link Trump to EpsteinA new poll finds 46% of Americans believe Trump was involved in Epstein's crimes, but Republican denial remains strong. The show laments how many refuse to see the evidence. 02:59:10 – Trump's Chinese Ship Fee BackfiresProposed fees on Chinese-built cargo ships risk crippling U.S. coal and agricultural exports, driving up consumer prices, and strangling already struggling industries. 03:07:45 – EU Trade Deal Unrealistic and RiskyThe U.S.–EU preliminary trade pact promises impossible energy purchase targets and could trigger economic blowback. The show likens it to “Looney Tunes” policymaking. 03:15:05 – AI as a Trojan Horse for a Lost GenerationConcerns are raised over Elon Musk's “anime AI girlfriend” on X/Twitter, described as engineered to hijack young men's attention and dopamine, replacing real-world relationships and stunting cognitive development. 03:28:31 – AI Will Erase Entry-Level WorkDiscussion shifts to how AI and automation will target entry-level jobs first, removing the stepping stones young people need to build careers. Generational decline in work opportunities is linked to automation, H‑1B hiring, and corporate cost-cutting. 03:43:40 – Technocrats Push Total Health Data SurveillanceU.S. health officials and tech leaders roll out plans for nationwide health data integration, combining wearables, tax records, DMV files, and more into a centralized system—framed as a tool for population management and control. 03:48:01 – Court Win for Christian Adoption RightsAn Oregon appeals court rules in favor of Jessica Bates, a Christian mother previously barred from adopting for refusing to support gender transition for foster children—seen as a rare religious liberty victory in the adoption system. 03:53:02 – Churches Freed to Endorse Political CandidatesConservative Christian activists celebrate a legal win against the Johnson Amendment, allowing churches to endorse candidates without IRS retaliation—a move viewed as a breakthrough for political speech from the pulpit.
