This week we're throwing a quick ball and grabbing your attention with a 4x catch rate modifier at the start of the encounter, and watching two episodes of Pokémon! We watched two of the first episodes (like picking starters? Work with me on this one), the pilots of Indigo League and Horizons. Gotta catch em all, and by em, well, hehe, I think you know. --- https://www.patreon.com/Toonhounds Rich Masters - @richmasters.bsky.social Spivzy - @spivzy.bs...

Howdy Toonhounds! On the show this week we're watching two great shows from Joe Murray, released a decade apart. First up is Rocko's Modern Life - Sugar Frosted Frights & Ed is Dead , two episodes full of references that would fly over most kid's heads. Then we watched Camp Lazlo - Tusk Wizard & Squirrel Scout Slinkman, a show about just some lovely boys. --- https://www.patreon.com/Toonhounds Rich Masters - @richmasters.bsky.social Spivzy - @s...

Howdy toonfriends. This week, we, wait for it... went ape. First up we watched the bafflingly complex Kong: The Animated Series. Then we opened a big barrel of monkeys and watched the last episode of Donkey Kong Country. And because we couldn't resist, we repeat jokes from The Simpsons episode A Fish Called Selma for about half an hour. This is a yapper episode, so if you like tangents... --- https://www.patreon.com/Toonhounds Rich Masters - @richmasters...

Catssss. Hey folks! You'll never guess what we talked about this week from the title of the show. That's right! Cars!! wait a moment, let me just check my notes here... Cats!! One of them was Cats Don't Dance, a movie that dares to lie directly to your face in the title. The other was Bad Cat, a movie that is so aptly named that I had to put a trigger warning into the episode.

Howdy toonfans! This time around we watched the new Batman series from Batman: The Animated Series' Bruce Timm, celebrated comics writer Ed Brubaker, The Batman director Matt Reeves, and also JJ Abrams was there too. Caped Crusader is a noir-inspired take on the Batman mythos, with a lot of easter eggs and references to past properties and the film industry as a whole, so if you know us you'll probably know how this episode is gonna go. --- https://www.patreon.com/Toonhounds Rich Mas...
