On this very special extended edition of Animation Damnation, the guys are live from New York City's Housing Works Bookstore discussing TWO cartoon episodes from TWO different shows!
Recorded September 27th, 2019, this intimate show featured the guys chatting about the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' episode, "Shredder's Mom," and the 1989 Duck Tales' episode, "Yuppy Ducks." In both instances the ...
On this month's super-sized entry into the Gleep Glossary, Eric gets down to business as the guys learn about the most beloved (and feared) bounty hunter in the galaxy, Boba Fett! How did he survive the Sarlacc pit? What was his relationship with Han Solo in their old age? And how many other bounty hunters were ripping off that helmet design? PLUS: A major programming announcement hidden inside this episode!

On this month's trip into the Nexus, the gang is chatting Trek episodes both wretched and excellent, yet equally horny!
First, over on TOS, it's "The Apple," which originally aired October 13th, 1967. It's the horrendous episode where Kirk & Company stumble across an alien race who have been ordered by a giant god creature to murder the Enterprise crew!
Then in "The Measure of a Man," an excellent epi...

On the spooktacularly intoxicated conclusion of the WHM Drunkmentary saga, the guys sit down to Power Hour through the final film in the series: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2! Why is Mike Dexter's hair looking less voluminous in this one? Who are any of these people? And were they serious with that ending? PLUS: Which famous personality would you like to do a Power Hour with?
On this month's entry into the Gleep Glossary, Eric reads the guys the tale of Labria, also known as the Devil Guy, a prominent fuck-up figure in the Mos Eisley cantina! Hear how Labria was the galaxy's biggest drunk, a total narc, and one of Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes' biggest fans—he was a total Nodehead!

On this special SPOOKTACULAR edition of Animation Damnation, the gang is in full-on WHM mode as they chat about arguably the best Halloween special The Simpsons ever produced, "Treehouse of Horror V." Originally airing October 30th, 1994, this episode features not only the finest "Treehouse" segment ever, the Stanley Kubrick parody, "The Shinning," it also contains Homer's botched time travel adventures in "Time and...

On this month's Spooktacular episode of We Love Movies, the gang is talking about one of the all-time greats: Stanley Kubrick's The Shining! Just look at how much of a jerk Jack is being during that job interview. How come Dick Hallorann can't do a better job covering up that "Doc" flub in the kitchen? And who in their right mind decided that this film deserved Razzie nominations? PLUS: Welcome to Shelley Duvall's H...

On this month's journey into the Nexus, the gang starts off with a chat about one of the best episodes of TOS ever, then follows it up with a convo about a season 2 TNG ep that might be more interesting than the guys initially gave it credit!
On TOS, it's "Mirror, Mirror," the alternate dimension classic that originally aired on October 6th, 1967! It features such legendary Trek elements like hilariou...

On this month's episode of Animation Damnation, the gang is chatting about the confounding, mildly disgusting, nearly-forgotten cartoon, The Wuzzles! The episode in question, "What's Up, Stox?" originally aired December 7th, 1985—it would be the final episode of the series. What's with this creepy fall festival? How disgusting is this Tycoon creature? And how many times are these characters going to say "money tre...

On this month's entry into the Gleep Glossary, Eric reads the story of Garindan, the long-snooted legend of the Mos Eisely cantina! Hear how this guy was the biggest narc in the galaxy, amassed a large fortune, almost got Han Solo killed, and how he became drinking buddies with the Devil Guy from the cantina! PLUS: Steve puts a heinous song parody in all our ears that we'll never get out!

On this month's patrons-only, full-length bonus episode, the gang officially launches the We Love Movies initiative with an enthusiastic conversation about GoldenEye! How great is the bungee jump at the beginning? Could Pierce get any more handsome in his first Bond outing? And who out there re-watches this film and plays the N64 game in their head at the same time? PLUS: Gallagher finds employment at the Midsom...

On this month's journey into the magic ribbon known as The Nexus, the gang is chatting about two Trek episodes that may, at first, seem totally unrelated, but when you boil it down, they're both pretty dumb!
First, over on TOS, it's the season two episode, "The Changeling," which originally aired September 29th, 1967. Here, we've got a super-silly talking probe, Uhura annoyingly singing at work, and Scotty being resu...

On this month's Animation Damnation, the guys are chatting about the totally off-the-wall cartoon, Noozles! The episode in question, "A Wonderful Friendship," which originally aired July 7th, 1984, was the pilot of this bonkers bit of animation and features classic cartoon crackups like: exploring deep sea disasters, elderly women hoping to wrangle wild animals as pets, grandfathers that vanish into thin air, flying...

Why does it take so long for the film to get around to mentioning this stupid book? Did we really need Jon Voight's character to return? And just how wasted is Ed Harris's talent here?

On this month's entry into the Gleep Glossary, Eric tells the guys about his favorite character in, well possibly the entire galaxy—IG-88! Remember when IG-88 became a death star?

Step into that magical ribbon with us once again, loyal Patreon subscriber, as the gang drops the 35th (!!!) episode of the bluest Star Trek podcast in the Alpha Quadrant, The Nexus!

Did Forrest sabotage the rest of those shrimp boats using the power of the Lord? How great is Sally Field? And when you boil it down, isn't this film really just about a man bothering people at a bus stop?
Forrest Gump stars Tom Hanks, Sally Field, Robin Wright, Gary Sinise, Mykelti Williamson, and Kurt Russell;...
On this ultra-patriotic commentary, the gang is chatting about the absolutely ridiculous, and totally enjoyable, 90's summer blockbuster, Independence Day! What's with all the lamps on Air Force One?

First, over on TOS, it's the legendary episode, "Amok Time," which originally aired September the 15th, 1967. This ep features Spock hucking soup across the hall, lots of information about Vulcan mating rituals, and Kirk and Spock sexily...

Vaping his way across the galaxy, Melas was only added to Star Wars when Big Daddy George started messing with the theatrical cuts! How chill is this lizard-with-a-whale-head-in-a-Kangol-hat?
