80 - Bootlegg'd - Lupin III - The Mystery of Mamo

Join the Cartoncasters for this special Bootlegg'd segment, where we look at an anime film for the first time. Lupin III is a very successful, long running franchise, which showcases a Japanese twist on the much beloved spy genre. Its long history produced many incarnations of Lupin III with wildly varying quality, similar to the history of James Bond. The Mystery of Mamo is one of the more beloved examples, with all that quick-witted Lupin goodness, mildly soured by an emergency injection of Heinlein right at the finish.

70 - Bootlegg'd - The Great Mouse Detective

It's that time again, my dear Dawson! Time for Ben and Zane to talk about Sherlock Holmes yet again in this Bootlegg'd segment! The Great Mouse Detective is perhaps the most kid-friendly Sherlock that Disney's audience has ever seen, but could the added accessibility to a younger demographic come at too high a price? The game is afoot!

Join the Cartoncast as we watch a fast-paced post-apocalyptic 80's time-travel movie about industrial espionage and urban decay: The Jetsons Meet the Flintstones. Watch what is basically a couple of episodes of the show based off the Honeymooners and the show based off the show based off the Honeymooners. Wacky misunderstandings, suicidal robots, and disproportionate revenge, this movie has it all. We didn't enjoy watching it, but hey, it's a livin'.

40 - Bootlegg'd: A Scanner Darkly

What does a podcaster see? This week in the Cartoncast's reoccurring Bootlegg'd segment, we dive headfirst into A Scanner Darkly, a movie inspired by a book of the same name, written by Philip K. Dick. With a unique animation style and a mindscrew of a plot twist that makes Fight Club look like freakin' Goodnight Moon, A Scanner Darkly delivers equal parts stoner comedy and nightmarish psychological torment. If you dare, listen in, and hope that the Cartoncast can see clearly into this eclectic experience.

Welcome back to the Cartoncast - or should I say, the Burtoncast? This week we revisit our Bootlegg'd segment for Corpse Bride. The mood was just terrifing/punny enough to entice our resident horror expert, Dan 'Delights in Existential Ennui' Caves. With an appreciation of the freedom of death that is sure to lead to an intervention, the Cartonists (and guest) dive into the belly of Corpse Bride to get to the heart of the matter. Yadda yadda sticks to your ribs.

20 - Bootlegg'd: Fievel Goes West

Join Ben and Zane for our Bootlegg'd segment, where we hitch a ride on the Fievel Goes West train in hopes of a better life free of cats. With top-notch voice actors, beautiful animation, and just the right blend of comedy, melancholy, and hope, this movie distracts you from the fact that they just reused the same plot from the first one, and added the best love scene in any movie, ever.

Space whales and solar sails are only a few treasures to be found in this podcast, so tune in to find out what Ben and Zane think of Treasure Planet.
