Listen on as Ethan and his guest Reese Jackson discuss Ghost Pirate Stew, Lots and Lots of Trains, and sword fighting with salted meats! What is Redbeard always laughing about?

Peter Bushman is back for a real juggernaut of an episode. Listen as Ethan finally gives some thoughts on SCOOB!, a Scooby-Doo themed taste test takes place live on air, and Peter gives a very in depth rundown of how Shaggy became an icon for the Dragonball Z fan community. And oh yeah, at some point they discuss an episode of the All-Star Laff A Lympics. NOTE! While the boys have some really fun discussions in the first half of this episode, it strays away from the topic, so if you’ve come specifically to learn about the Laff a Lympics episode “Acapulco and England,” episode discussion begins in earnest at (1:13:17)

On Halloween night, 1999, The Scooby-Doo Project was aired in its entirety once-and only once-on Cartoon Network. A lovingly crafted parody and tribute to The Blair Witch Project, this short film is every bit as scary as it is funny. And now, over 20 years later, Ethan and his guest Chris sat down for an hour and a half to discuss this special at length. (And a bunch of other things too.) It’s Heavy Meddle!
