The last time that Simon Sweeney was on the show, he had just watched his first ever episode of Scooby-Doo. This time around, he watched his second. We couldn’t have picked a more classic episode to discuss this week, it’s either the second or third episode of Scooby-Doo ever, depending on who you ask. Listen along as Ethan and Simon discuss Fred’s mystery solving process, Daphne’s womanly intuition and Scooby’s love of John Wayne.
This week, we’re back in What’s New Scooby-Doo territory with a very odd episode featuring a 30-foot coral creature and celebrity guest Smash Mouth. First-time guest Owen joins Ethan to discuss one-man volleyball, sand art vs sand play and the ethics of building a reefway. But wait! There’s so much more! Ethan lists the cast of G-Force, Owen reads from a lost Scooby-Doo joke book and they play an inaugural round of ‘Smash Mouth or not Smash Mouth!’
The last time she was on the show, Jesse Catherine Webber made a commitment. The next time she was on the podcast would be the first utterance of the ‘Ruh-Roh’ award. Was she successful? You will have to listen to find out, but I can assure you it is a very bad episode of Scooby-Doo. This week, the gang goes to Outer Space with self-proclaimed science advocated Bill Nye and Neil Degrasse-Tyson. Listen as Ethan and Jesse try to make sense of these two figures’ public personas. Ethan does a cold read from Neil Degrasse Tyson’s Twitter. Jesse finds a way to bring up baseball. And together they speculate about the tv show Velma weeks before we saw the first look. Heavy Meddle is back baby!
Happy Heavy Meddle…Thursday? We kind of stumbled ass backwards into a Cinco De Mayo special so I figured I might as well put it out on the day in question! Evan Gray returns to the show to discuss the Scooby Gang’s escapades in Mexico. For an episode that’s 45 years old it’s surprisingly very fun and not that racist! Other topics include ghost barges, giant footprints, and Dora the Explorer.
It’s the last week of Vampril and I know we’re all sad to see it go. But we have a very fun ep for you this week so cheer up! Ethan’s pal Mason Smith joins the show to talk about a typically meta episode of Be Cool Scooby-Doo. While there are plenty of tangents along the way, (including one very long one about chicken), they have a thoughtful conversation about what makes Be Cool Scooby-Doo work and why you should give it a chance.
The last time that Daniel Foster was on Heavy Meddle, there were riots in the streets. People begged that he never return to the show. Ethan didn’t listen. On this blockbuster episode of Heavy Meddle, Vampril continues as Daniel returns, bringing with him another returning guest, Cullen Atchley of the Cannes I Kick It podcast and Bevy of Bevies. Which guest discovered a newfound appreciation for Scooby-Doo and which one came away with a surprising hatred of the show? Will Daniel continue his perfect Jinkies or Stinkies streak? Who will be the first to cancel themself live on the show? The only way to get the answer to any of these questions is to listen to this week’s episode!
Vampril is trucking along this week as we discuss three Scrappy-Doo shorts that vary both in quality and relevance to the theme! Christina of the Got The Runs podcast and Bevy of Bevvies returns to discuss, aliens, vampires, and chinese food factories? Together she and Ethan talk about Sylvester the Cat, toothpaste commercials, and how to make doughnuts.
HUGE episode this week. Not only is this the kickoff of Vampril, a special Heavy Meddle theme month dedicated to Scooby-Doo’s vampire episodes, but it also is the first time the Hex Girls have been discussed on this show. Returning guest Lizzy Smith is here to walk us through it, as well as lengthy discussions of Twilight, Lady Gaga, and this episode’s abstract plot. You don’t want to miss this!
On this week’s episode, Maggie Grossman returns to discuss A Pup Named Scooby-Doo once again. But this time around even Maggie has to admit this isn’t a great episode of Scooby-Doo. Together, they discuss sandwiches, buckets, and holes. (and presumably burgers at some point to.)
William Taylor, aka The Narrator, returns to the show for another randomly generated episode. This time, we discuss an episode of Scooby and Scrappy Doo with an extremely sweaty title, along with numerous other topics like mountain men, National Treasure, and cheap voice acting.
