The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastRecord of Lodoss War (Madhouse Inc, 1990)Unbeknownst to a much younger James, Western sword and sorcery tropes, motifs were a big deal in gaming in 1980s Japan, and from that wellspring would arise one of the most enduring fantasy franchises in that nation. Record of Lodoss War has it all: goblins, dragons, wizards, thieves, and leggy Elvish women that a young Pemmy fell in love with. So come join our return to the world of tabletop gaming tropes in animation.And remember... it's Falis with an F, not a PH.2025-06-2059 min

Tales from the RingJames MooreJames Moore grew up in Arklow, County Wicklow and was in a boxing gym from 6 years of age. His amateur career was in his own words a “late developer” in fact he never won an Irish title at schoolboy, youth or junior level in the early days. It wasn’t long until he would start to have great success beginning with an Irish Intermediate title in 1997. The goal was always to win that National Elite title, but standing in his way was the seasoned, Neil Gough. After coming up short in semi-finals and finals to the Waterford man, he would...2025-04-011h 06The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastGay Purr-ee (UPA, 1962)It's the only animated appearance by Judy Garland! It's the movie that got Chuck Jones fired from Warner Bros! It's... a box office flop. Gay Purr-ee is a fascinating movie both by its circumstances and the fantastic artwork that went into it, and Krissi helps James on a journey to 1890s Paris through the eyes of a starstruck Mewsette. Best enjoyed with a champagne or at least a soda with lots of Bubbles!

A mid-season replacement on NBC in 1982, the show would be the last Filmation product that network would pick up for their Saturday morning schedule. No amount of penalty kicks can make up for this! Pemmy, Krissi and James have been wanting to get this out of the- I mean, examine this now rarely seen cartoon for a while, so come join them!2024-08-161h 00The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastLaff-a-Lympics (Hanna-Barbera, 1977-1978)Heavens to athlete's foot! With 20 years under their belt, Hanna Barbera plunged into their character archive to assemble three teams to compete in a pastiche of Battle of the Network Stars in Laff-a-Lympics. Just getting there, though, was a long, winding race to rival any carrying of the Olympic torch! Pemmy, Krissi and James line up on the track to talk about the mother of all cartoon crossovers!2024-07-191h 27The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastRobin Hood (Walt Disney Feature Animation, 1973)Oo De Lally, this movie had a wild and winding history to its making! Robin Hood is arguably the cult sensation of the various Disney feature films, not nearly as big as the Silver Age and Rennaissance Age hits that sandwich its release, but still much adored by those who grew up with it. Linwood Knight joins James and Krissi to break down why the movie turned out as it did, especially with all that notorious recycled and traced over animation, and discuss what worked and what could have worked better.2024-07-051h 22The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastTiny Toon Adventures (Warner Bros Animation/Amblin Entertainment, 1990-1992)They're tiny, they're tooney, they took the fight right to Disney for syndicated dominance! Tiny Toon Adventures brought Warner Bros' animation division back to top form, with the help of Steven Spielberg and a host of talented writers, artists and voice actors. Krissi and James are joined by friend of the podcast Meiou to discuss the wild comedic lunacy of a trio of short subjects from the first season, and a pair of music videos. If you know the show, you probably don't need us to tell you which music videos they are.2024-06-211h 20The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastBugs Bunny Part 1: The Hunting Trilogy (Warner Bros, 1951-1953)Duck season!

She explains the influence of Eastern Christianity on Irish Christianity, the role of St. Patrick in the conversion of Ireland, and the evidence of early Christians in Ireland before St. Patrick.

Too few American fans of Akira Toriyama have seen the anime that first made him a household name in Japan, and that includes James and Krissi. So Pemmy and special guest Kylepedia help them fix that with this examination of the first two episodes of this absolutely goofy series. So come join us in Penguin Village where pigs announce the morning, the sun brushes its teeth and adorable Arale-Chan tries to figure out the world around her, which in turn can't quite figure her out.2024-03-291h 16

More powerful than hammy voice acting! It's the most famous season of the show that defined the DC Comics heroes and villains for an entire generation of kids!

With writers absolutely game to make the most of their 20-minute time allotments, this series comes so close to perfection you can almost taste it! 2024-02-021h 03The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastDonald Duck (Walt Disney Company, 1934-1959)We've dipped our toes in Disney content in the latter half of last year, but now it's time for one of their most famous stars to get the spotlight. Donald Duck is by far the most prolific Disney character between animation and comics across the globe, making him a natural first choice for our dives into the material that built the foundation of the Disney company. Pemmy, Krissi and James are joined by Marc and Jordan of That's Not Quite All Folks to check out his very first animated appearance and three all time classics from the 40s.2024-01-051h 25The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastHow the Grinch Stole Christmas (MGM Television, 1966) & Mickey's Christmas Carol (Walt Disney Studios, 1983)Two tales of holiday redemption, together in one podcast to close out the year. Pemmy and James look at the very first TV special inspired by the works of Dr. Seuss as Chuck Jones builds upon a 9 minute read and makes a masterpiece, while Disney tackles Charles Dickens' literary classic while squashing it down to about 25 minutes.

Most folks today can speak to Bluey and Blue's Clues, but what of animation's OG cyan canine, Huckleberry Hound? This gentle, optimistic fellow broke Hanna Barbera's TV animation company to the big time, setting the stage for Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, Top Cat, Scooby Doo and everything else that followed. He's near and dear to James' heart, so join him, Pemmy and Krissi as they give the dog his due.2023-12-081h 03The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastBonus Episode: The Amazing Digital Circus (GLITCH, 2023)Surprise! We have an episode as unexpected as the success of the show in question! On October 13th GLITCH unleashed onto YouTube this demented little treat of a cartoon aimed at a slightly older crowd than much of the fare we've covered on this podcast. Pemmy loved it, and he talked James into making this quick bonus episode of the podcast to cover it while it was still new and relevant. But be warned, there are SPOILERS ahead, so if you want to watch the Amazing Digital Circus first, you should really go do so.2023-12-0131 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastScooby-Doo and Scrappy-Doo (Hanna Barbera (and Ruby-Spears) 1979-1982)Puppy Power Goes Wrong! Or rather, it first goes right then goes wrong? Or goes right in all the wrong ways? The legacy of Scrappy-Doo, one of the most maligned characters Hanna-Barbera ever created, isn't as simple as some make it out to be, and Pemmy, James and Krissi sit down to hash out what happened, when and why, while looking at three cartoons featuring the pup. It's a tale of network executives meddling, writers reaching and Fred Flintstone's catchphrase being turned into yet another dog. Enjoy!2023-11-101h 21The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastThe Ghost and Molly McGee (Disney Television Animation, 2021 to Present)In comedy, the law is that diametric opposites are inevitably pulled together just because the universe wants to see personalities clash. Hence, in this modern Disney Channel favorite, the ever optimistic Molly drags curmudgeonly Scratch into misadventure after misadventure. Pemmy and James dip their toes into the house that the mouse built for the first time, just in time for Halloween.Because nothing is scarier than Disney lawyers.2023-10-2745 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastBatman The Animated Series Part 1 - Harley Quinn (Warner Animation, 1992-1999 when including the WB episodes)In the wake of Arleen Sorkin passing away last August, Pemmy, James and Krissi Harding set out to pay tribute to the character she was instrumental in unleashing on the world. That a snarky little gun moll named Harleen Quinzel could somehow upstage the Joker himself and become one of the most recognizable characters in DC Comics to this day is a testament to the series and her creators Paul Dini, Bruce Timm and especially Arleen herself. Enjoy, puddins!2023-10-131h 25The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastLupin the Third, Part 2 (aka the Red Jacket Series, TMS Entertainment, 1977-1980)Few criminals in animation history are as notorious or beloved as Lupin the Third, the simultaneously suave and goofy gentleman thief. In his second anime run, which Pemmy and James look at in this episode, the character became TMS' flagship property, running over 150 episodes. Many of his US fans first encountered him via Adult Swim's broadcasts of an English language dub, but there was a prior project that saw a small amount of this series dubbed for the home video market, and we check out a little of both!2023-08-2557 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastPac-Man (Hanna-Barbera, 1982-1983)Video game mania erupted in the early 1980s with the arrival of Namco's revolutionary maze-chase game, so leave it to Hanna-Barbera to turn the property into a dollar store diet cola version of both the Smurfs and the Flintstones. That's just the kind of rut HB was in during the 1980s, sadly, but it's not a complete loss thanks to the efforts of a stellar voice cast. Friend of the podcast and all-around Pac-Man expert Cary Woodham joins Pemmy and James to find the cure for Pac-Man Fever.2023-08-111h 08The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastThe Flintstones (Hanna Barbera, 1960-1966)50 Episodes?? YABBA-DABBA-DOO!!! As massive Hanna Barbera nuts, Pemmy and James couldn't think of a better show to watch for this little milestone than their most successful foray into prime time television. The Flintstones ran a solid six seasons with the brilliant voice acting of Alan Reed, Jean Vander Pyl, Bea Benaderet and Mel Blanc at the helm, cementing Hanna Barbera as a force in entertainment for decades to come. What else but a caveman with mood swings could sell children candy-flavored vitamins, after all?Thank you, one and all, for sticking with us, and here's to the...2023-07-141h 14The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastHighlander: The Animated Series (Guamont Multimedia, 1994-1995)Pemmy and James wonder if the makers of the original Highlander movie expected anything like this to be spun off from it: a cartoon set 700 years after the apocalypse, where the Immortals give up killing each other except for one malcontent named Kortan. Still, there's prophecy, Macleods, swordplay and some remarkably done backgrounds in this animated series that in many ways feels like a product of the previous decade. And sadly no soundtrack from Queen, either.2023-06-3049 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastDaffy Duck Part 2: The Clampett Corneal Catastrophe! (Warner Bros, various years)Daffy was most frequently at his Daffiest under the directorial vision of Bob Clampett. The rubbery animation and wild, exaggerated takes he employed made the screwy duck probably his most effective character to express his individual sense of what was funny. Pemmy and James explore one of Bob's earlier Daffy cartoons co-starring with Porky Pig in Porky's Last Stand, before diving into a trio of Bob's masterpieces from the tail end of his tenure at Warner Brothers: Draftee Daffy, Book revue and The Great Piggy Bank Robbery. Should you miss this podcast? Well now I wouldn't say that!2023-05-051h 02The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastHulk Hogan's Rock n' Wrestling (DiC, 1985-1986)With Wrestlemania just coming around the corner, Pemmy and James are joined by the Uncharted Territory's podcast's own Chad Olson to turn back the clock to the era of the very first Wrestlemania and the WWF's quest to broaden their audience. Partnering with DiC, we got cartoonish exaggerations of personalities who were themselves already larger than life and sometimes very un-PC, and some of the worst animation errors we've seen to date on the podcast.

The mix of science fantasy, boisterous characters and imaginative designs just clicked into place like a well built Leader Class toy, in spite of all the wild animation errors and goofy scripts. So what was the secret? Pemmy and James look at the episodes "SOS Dinobots" and "Webworld" to try and pin down the foundation of what makes this franchise keep on truckin'.2023-02-271h 10The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastSpeed Buggy (Hanna Barbera, 1973)Room-a-zoom-zoom!

THE ROSSLARE PODCASTCountess Markievicz a good Irish name?Constance Georgine Gore Booth more commonly known as Countess Markievicz was an Irish Politician, Revolutionary, Nationalist, Suffragist and a Socialist. She was the first woman to be elected to the house of Parliament in London and was elected to the first Dail ( Irish parliament). Though considered one of the greatest Irish women of her day, she did not receive a state funeral, yet she is buried in Glasnevin Cemetery amongst the great political and military leaders of the last few centuries. The irony is she was born in England.

A Garfield Christmas and A Claymation Christmas Celebration both debuted on CBS on December 21st of 1987, making them natural fits to review together, and possibly set the stage for some of the subjects we're planning on tackling in 2023.Happy Holidays, one and all! (I'd say Merry Christmas, but, you know, it'd be 5 days late)2022-12-301h 31THE ROSSLARE PODCASTWhat Irish Famine? History books have it wrong?The Irish Famine? There was no Famine! Food was plentiful. Tons of grain and meat were being exported while the Irish peasantry lay starving on the roadsides. It was genocide, indifference, and arrogance. The English House of Commons felt it might at last rid the absentee landlords of the wretched Irish cottiers who lived in their tiny hovels trying to eke out a living and that the land could now be used for pasture.
Successive Irish governments have spoken of this tragedy as a famine.

If you've listened to this for any length of time, you probably noticed we tend to refer to this big old list of shows, shorts and eventually movies we want to look at. So here's a behind the scenes look at Pemmy and James going over what cartoons they want to talk about in the coming years. Enjoy! Trust me, this won't be an annual thing, that would get redundant quickly.2022-12-021h 30The Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastSpider-Man (GrantRay-Lawrence/Krantz Films, 1967-1969)Spider-Man, Spider-Man, in a cartoon made as cheap as they can. Pemmy and James are joined by Kylepedia to look at the very first cartoon starring Marvel Comics' most iconic hero of them all. It's a debut that gave us Dr. Octopus' ever-changing haircut, a propeller boat made entirely of webs, and that theme song that hasn't left the public consciousness since the show debuted. 'Nuff Said.2022-11-1851 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastThe Tomfoolery Show (Rankin-Bass, 1970)We're putting on the nonsense, and realizing that perhaps it's too much for even us! Pemmy and James look at this Rankin Bass production animated by British group Halas and Batchelor Studios which adapted the works of Edward Lear, Lewis Carroll, Ogden Nash and many more. It's limericks, riddles, puns and poems with a Laugh-In format, a goofy cast of jokesters and not a lot of structure, making it a fascinating experiment in the era of Scooby-Doo and the Archies.2022-11-0447 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastThe New Scooby Doo Movies (Hanna-Barbera, 1972-1974)When Fred Silverman wanted more Scooby, he sure got it! These hour length episodes cemented the great dane and the Mystery Inc crew in the pop culture firmament by pairing them with the likes of Batman, the Three Stooges, Sonny and Cher and many more. Since Halloween is coming up, though, Pemmy and James thought it most appropriate to revisit their episode with the Addams Family, which coincidentally is the only episode not available on current home media. All this, and James' most shameful secret! ... not really.2022-10-2153 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastQuacula (Filmation, 1979)What scares a notorious chicken-heart like James Irish more than the classic horror tropes? Absolutely wretched cartoons like Quacula, which was introduced to him by Pembroke W. Korgi. James swore revenge soon after. Seriously, the B-Feature in the ABA format for the Heckle and Jeckle revival on CBS is proof that even Frank Welker can only elevate bottom of the barrel material by so much.Also this show features a writing credit from Paul Dini. I don't think he puts this on his CV.2022-10-1230 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastHeckle and Jeckle (Terrytoons, 1946-1966)Identical characters distinguished only by their voices, Heckle and Jeckle joined the ranks of cartoon trickster royalty courtesy of Paul Terry's production unit, distributed by 20th Century Fox. They were some of the most critically lauded shorts that studio ever made, but have they aged as well as, say, the Looney Tunes or MGM's Tex Avery shorts? Pemmy and James look at two of the best of the bunch to find out!2022-09-1532 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastThe Angry Beavers (Gunther-Wahl Productions, 1997)A tale of two brothers... brothers who love horrible movies, engage in bizarre misadventures, and sound like Salem the Cat and Zim. The Angry Beavers debuted in 1997, with the Nicktoons era in full swing, and proceeded to absolutely annoy the president of Nickelodeon, and then be overshadowed by that pineapple-dwelling fellow two years later. Now, over 20 years later, James introduces Pemmy to this cult classic series. He may never forgive him. (We're kidding, he has fun!)2022-08-1343 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastCaptain Caveman & the Teen Angels (Hanna-Barbera, 1977)Arguably the last of the successful Scooby-Doo clone shows, Captain Caveman debuted as part of the Scooby's All Stars block and went on for three years worth of adventures with Dee Dee, Brenda and Taffy. Pemmy and James reminisce about this series, it's legacy and how squeezing a cartoon mystery into 11 minutes isn't always the best idea!2022-07-3152 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastInterview with That's Not Quite All FolksWith almost 100 years of theatrical shorts, feature length films, TV series and more to draw upon, the Looney Tunes themed podcast That's Not Quite All Folks has a lot to draw from, which makes it a good thing Marc and Jordan are almost never at a loss for words.

Before Mumbly joined the ambitious crossover Laff-a-Lympics, he made a name for himself amidst reruns of Tom & Jerry and Grape Ape cartoons.

Given the lasting legacy of Top Cat and his crew, which includes multiple appearances in other HB shows, a pair of feature films in Mexico and South America, and much more, it's a surprise his original run was only one season. Pemmy and James explore why this series has endured for as long as it has thanks to brilliant voice acting and genuinely good writing.2021-08-0655 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastSpace Ace (via Saturday Supercade, Ruby Spears, 1984)Don Bluth's laserdisc games helped keep arcades interesting for just long enough while the console side of video games was going bust, and Ruby Spears capitalized on it with the Saturday Supercade series on CBS. Space Ace was one of seven total games adapted into this anthology series, and it's... not great. It's a mild sight better than some of the other shows on it, sadly.Special thanks to Krissi Harding from James' other podcast, Gaming Street Irregulars, for helping with the intro!2021-07-0959 minThe Pemmy, Krissi & James Kinda-Sorta-Hopefully Funny Cartoon PodcastWacky Races (Hanna-Barbera, 1968)And away they go! Two of the least daredevil daffy... umm... there's nothing alliterative that describes podcast hosts. So much for that gag. As you're about to hear, Pemmy and James LOVE the Wacky Races cartoon and much of its legacy which rings through Hanna-Barbera's work following its run on CBS. And much of it is due to a mustachioed do-badder and his snickering shag rug of a dog sidekick. 2021-05-281h 36

The Irish Nation LivesIrish Republican Army swears oath to Dáil Éireann | August 1919In August 1919 Cathal Brugha sought to formalise the relationship between the government and the Irish Volunteers by having them swear and oath of allegiance to Dáil Éireann. Brugha might also have been trying to out maneuver the Irish Republican Brotherhood who were recruiting Irish Volunteer officers with an aim to influencing the organisations course of action in the years ahead. The oath would have little impact on either the IRB or the government’s control of the army but it would cause the Irish Volunteers to adopt the title of the Irish Republican Army.
