Dan and Aaron gush about the brilliantly stupid, trendsetting weirdo shows that Cartoon Network had starring Space Ghost, Zorak, Brak, and Moltar. From "Space Ghost Coast to Coast" to "Cartoon Planet" to "The Brak Show", it's a love letter to strange little cartoons in the middle of the night that helped pioneer Adult Swim and make the comedic landscape a little more bizarre.
NOTES / DON'T @ US:
Dear Aaron,
Sorry for leaving my laptop 11-12 minutes into this episode to do something else so it sounds like I ghosted you.
Love,
Dan
At one point, Dan confused Mr. Thundercleese’s voice with the grumbling static of Metallus, so he sounds pretty confused near the end. Idiot.
We also misremembered that the “rapping space goblin” was on with Ice-T, but it was actually Chuck D. Wrong deadly serious rapper. Sorry. It’s been like 20 years since we’ve seen these shows.
The shows discussed starred George Lowe, C. Martin Croker, Andy Merrill, and Don Kennedy and were created by Mike Lazzo (SGC2C, Cartoon Planet),Keith Crofford (Cartoon Planet), Jim Fortier (Brak Show), Andy Merrill (Brak Show), and Pete Smith (Brak Show).
