    UFO50 isn’t just an incredible game, isn’t just an amazing concept packed with even more awesome ideas, like some kind of gaming fractal, but it’s so unique and cool that it brought The Cartoncast back out of retirement...

    Jul 15, 2024—

    Baccano! is brilliant. I’m not even going to front with this one, guys. We both have way too much reverence for this show to do a bit about it that will do it justice. Just take our recommendation as gospel, dust off...

    May 19, 2024—

    The 90’s was a verdant era for cartoons, coming off the success of Ducktales. However, it was also the era of Tude. Ben and Zane went wandering for a decent - just decent! - protagonist, buried amongst the dross of...

    Hating on CGI has become a national pastime for the cartoon-watching world, and we’re certainly no strangers. But is a good concept enough to rescue some fairly uncanny animation and flat characters? This episode...

    Feb 17, 2024—

    What do you get when you take an Empowered guest, an Australian Cattle Dog, an S-tier dad, and a willingness to get a bit sappy? The Cartoncasters intended to find out. They hustled around the house, putting these...
