Scooby-Doo Meets Courage: Unraveling the Chaos of 'Straight Outta Nowhere'
Have you ever wondered what would happen if Scooby-Doo found himself in the chaotic world of "Courage the Cowardly Dog"? Join us, Jet Black Xtreme, Kokugatsu, Playboi and Professor Tuck, as we unravel the nostalgic and amusing threads of the crossover movie "Straight Outta Nowhere." From a mysterious cicada infestation to the final voice appearance of Muriel’s original voice actress, this film is a roller coaster of emotions for those of us who have cherished these shows since our childhood. Despite a quiet release, the fusion of these two iconic cartoon worlds rekindles the whimsical charm of Saturday night TV marathons.
Journey with us as we reminisce about simpler times. Remember when Saturday mornings meant diving into a bowl of cereal while watching your favorite cartoons? We reflect on how marketing missteps initially dampened the film's impact, yet it still managed to tug at the heartstrings of 90s kids like us. From quirky fan theories about Courage's imagination to exploring the film's creative twists involving a mysterious meteor, we cover the delightful chaos that unfolds in Nowhere and the inevitable return to normalcy for Scooby and the gang.
In a lighter segment, we analyze the ridiculousness of specific scenes, like a gold-chain-flaunting farmer reminiscent of Eustace. The conversation takes a deeper turn as we contemplate darker themes in animated series, even revisiting the emotionally charged episode of Courage involving his parents. The episode concludes with a humorous nod to modern animations and an entertaining discussion about the quirks of dog ownership, drawing parallels with our own experiences. Buckle up for upcoming episodes as we continue our exploration of Scooby-Doo and other horror-themed adventures just in time for Halloween!

Welcome back to the Zone Podcast, the show about nerdy news and reviews. I'm Jet Black Extreme feel free to call me JB and joining me today is Koki Gatsu and Professor Tuck, retired Hogwarts headmaster. As we talk about the Scooby-Doo Curse of the Cowboy Dog crossover movie, straight Outta Nowhere, we're going to be talking about this movie just a little bit and if we have enough time, we might talk about the other two shows by themselves. And since Scooby-Doo I know there's a whole bunch of movies and off shows and whatnot I'm thinking we might do an extreme review after that. But consider this more like the prequel before we get into it. So let's go ahead and zone in on it. So Straight Outta Nowhere came out in 2021.
Speaker 1:Unmask a bank robbing clown and then scooby made noise that drove him all the way out to um, the middle of nowhere and then meanwhile curse is uh, having the same problem. So muriel used it. Don't notice it at all. So essentially, I guess you can say plot kind of drove them together and while they're there, there was this whole infestation of cicadas and apparently nowhere had a mayor. But you're gonna find out later that okay, that's a little sus and there was a reason behind that uh. So both the scooby-doo gang and the bag family um have dinner together and they get attacked by the cicada queen and just to run used to the truck, uh. Then you arrive at the mayor's mansion. They go on a little tour, uh in the museum where you see Nowhere's most bizarre history of all the different villains and all that shit. Shaggy, scooby, courage, they look for something to eat, eustace heads. Back home, shaggy and the dogs are attacked by the cicada queen again. The brood knocks out Fred, daphne and velma and muriel and uh take them into a hidden cave and then there were like strange machines sending out cell phone calls and all that.
Speaker 1:And I'm not trying to um bug y'all down with all this shit, because if you've seen the movie then good on you. If not, then I'm just pretty much give you like a short breakdown of what happened. So it was typical Scooby Doo, slash Courage, the Cowardly Dog antics, where you saw the computer trying to give Courage and Scooby Doo some clues and some answer to how to solve all this. And you know the computer was flirting with on velma's tablet. I'm like gotta cringe, honestly.
Speaker 1:And for the most part they find out that the bag family was living on a land that was like where the meteor crashed into, and they were like in this thing on top of this huge epicenter and whatnot. And it was weird like by the end of it all there was this long battle with scooby, the gang, the back family, and after this long battle, the cicada queen got trapped into under scraps, under um, the windmill. And then the general and the lieutenant showed up to apprehend the cicada queen and in typical scooby-doo fashion, you find out, oh, it was the mayor. And then I was like, well, why would you do that? Well, you ever wonder how there was never really a mayor up until now. Well, that's because he's not really a mayor. It's actually a mech piloted by Katz and Laquat.
Speaker 1:And I find it really weird how they made it sound like, oh, you remember these guys? Like no, y'all don't remember them from the museum. I'm like, oh, from the museum. Like, come on, y'all don't do that. Like cats and lequack were like recurring villains throughout the courage show, so don't do them like that.
Speaker 1:But uh, mostly they had like this weird plan where, after discovering the meteor's existence, they were trying to team up and try to take over nowhere's political um stuff and use the resource to dig up the meteor and hypnotize and rob people and all that. And when they learned that the scooby gang was in the area, they used the meteor to brainwashwash the local cicadas to scare them off and attempt to up their game and whatnot. But then the general secured him. Well, he tried to secure the meteor to be used as a weapon, but Courage was like no, instead, let's make it to a disco ball and we just dance at the end. Instead, let's make it to a disco ball and we just dance at the end.
Speaker 1:So it was like a mix of scooby-doo antics and courage antics, especially how I, like her, still do those little transformations when she's when you're trying to explain shit, and I hate to be a little morbid about it, but I do have to bring up how the original actor for eustace passed away before this movie and he got replaced. Meanwhile the original actor for muriel did the movie but she died afterwards. So this was her last role, well, her last voice appearance before she passed away. So I guess you could say there's like a little sentimentality behind this movie, but for the most part solid movie, not a. The plot's not really that deep, but solid movie, like you know, like for the 90s kids who grew up watching these two dogs. So, gentlemen, how you feeling about Straight Outta Nowhere?
Speaker 2:Because in fact, I might have seen, in fact I've already seen the movie. I am actually curious, since, you know, we found out with Tuck, like, based on the synopsis, and I'm gonna put it this way the way he read the synopsis, the movie is actually a lot more enjoyable than how he read the synopsis. The movie is actually a lot more enjoyable than how he read the synopsis. But it's okay. But uh, based on what you heard, what do you feel about it?
Speaker 3:I feel like I done seen both shows, so I'm good on the movie. If you seen one villain, I'm asking you another. You good to go. You ain't wrong with that.
Speaker 1:Okay, to be fair y'all To the audience, I mean it wasn't that easy to Watch the movie. I mean it's not like on HBO Unmasked. I mean it would be, but I don't know. Like I checked and I didn't see it. So like I saw bits and pieces on YouTube and what not. So, uh, koki Yasu, since you've seen the whole movie, you probably tell me a little bit better. Um, what did you think about? Straight Out Nowhere alright.
Speaker 2:So this movie is for the 90's and early 2000's babies who grew up watching Curse the Cow and the Dog and the old school Scooby-Doo I'm talking about Scooby-Doo before what's New Scooby-Doo and what's New Scooby-Doo? So I'm talking about them type things. Okay. So if you grew up watching the old school mystery game and grew up watching Curse the Cow and the Dog, this was the crossover that we kind of wanted as kids. Now I will put in my biggest gripe into this. This is beyond fucking overdue, type shit. Like I'm not even gonna lie.
Speaker 2:Okay, this would have been better when if it came out in the fucking 2000 school redo has um, we were just talking about this shit earlier came out in the fucking 2000s Scooby-Doo has we were just talking about this shit earlier. How many goddamn movies they have crossed over with fucking everybody, legitimately everybody. There's a whole episode in Supernatural dedicated to Scooby-Doo. In the game it's like they crossed over with music crit with kiss. They've crossed over with every other damn tv. They've crossed over with batman three times. So it was like why did it take so long for this to come out?
Speaker 1:it feels like, oh well, you know, uh, it makes sense, but I don't think courage is half that stardom, like I guess they were just going after, like the really legend, you know, like the marketable names, like uh does curse the galaxy doll even have a fan base. I'm like yeah, but we just don't talk much it's not even that.
Speaker 2:So the issue that actually came into it was because Warner Brothers Studios, even though they wound up having some partnerships with Cartoon Network they had some issues all the way up until you know, warner Brothers Studios completely bought out Cartoon Network, but once they bought it out, they actually forgot the stuff that they had. They actually forgot the stuff that they had. So this, literally, was one of those ones that was supposed to happen years ago but they forgot about it and then decided, oh, we'll just go ahead and bring it up. But because of the fact that they knew they forgot about it and people weren't like really going to watch it, like that type of thing, because it's been so long. They were just like we're just going to release it like a not even a straight to dvd feature, we're going to put it on a streaming service and not really tell many people about it, because kind of who cares, type of thing. So it's really a marketing thing and that's pretty much the reason why it's just they forgot about it.
Speaker 1:And I feel bad because because I like how it came down to marketing either way, but at least my assumption made it sound better, versus you saying, oh well, they actually just forgot. I'm like really that makes it worse it does actually make it worse.
Speaker 2:But let's be honest, that happens to a lot of movies, like, I think, what the cat williams has said himself's like every year, there's like 1,500 movie scripts submitted every year to Hollywood but only a select few actually get used, type of thing. So it's like it's kind of like what do you do on that? There's really nothing you can't do, that's just they submitted it and it was like, oh well, yeah, we forgot about this, I guess we can do it, type of thing. That's it, and it was like, oh well, yeah, we forgot about this, I guess we can do it, type of thing. And that's just how they treat it. And it sucks because one of those ones that we should have got we literally should have got this years ago, but they forgot. And I'm like, yeah, that sound I mean, that just sounds pretty much like hollywood.
Speaker 1:It sounds just like hollywood for some reason it feels like a 2015 movie, like I can imagine it being out in 2015 I say 2010, I wouldn't even go back that far, to be honest with you, I mean you went farther than me I know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Oh, my bad. No, I mean, I wouldn't put that early my bad, I'd be like further back.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, look, I'm tired, deal with it. I'm sorry, look, I got I have five children, y'all. Okay, I'm I'm tired, deal with it. I'm sorry, I have five children, y'all. Okay, I'm tired, I'm still sick, bear with me anyway. But the movie itself, honestly, was still kind of enjoyable. If you wind up allowing yourself, allow your mind to just like go back to, I guess I could say, the good old days type of thing, but allow your mind to just kind of drift back to when you were a kid again and just enjoy watching it as you would a kid enjoy watching. Is this like oh, it's a new saturday night movie that was just premiered on cartoon network and you're just like, by all means, yes, I absolutely love this tidy whitey.
Speaker 1:You got your bowl, bowl of cinnamon toast crunch. You ain't got shit to do.
Speaker 2:Right, bro, that's how you would treat this. This right here feels like that's what it would be at, but the problem is the fact that it came out so long ago that it's just like yo, what's happening? Why do we do this? Why are we doing this now? Why did you wait so long? Either way, allow your mind to slip back.
Speaker 2:It's actually really funny to watch. It's really funny to watch. The reason being is because you get those elements back from the original Courage to Cowardly Dog. You get those original elements back from Scooby-Doo. You can feel the mystery game, just kind of see how things go. Plus, keep in mind also this this is because this took place like early. This is, uh, this is mystery game that never dealt with the live action. So they didn't have monsters that were real type things. So these monsters were actually real and the mystery gang all swore the entire movie oh, all of these are fake. All of this can be explained. Like Velma throughout the whole movie was like this can be scientifically explained. This could be scientifically explained and every single time she had absolutely no answer and it drove her nuts throughout the movie.
Speaker 1:It was that one episode of Mystery Incorporated it had to do something with, like the Mayans and what not, and Velma was like it has to make sense, I need it to make sense. I'm like damn, she's like having a whole Mental breakdown Because there's like this supernatural Phenomena that science Can't explain. But because of that, you know, that's just how it works out.
Speaker 2:There's like this supernatural phenomenon that science can't explain Exactly, but because of that, you know that's just how it works out. Now. Granted, I will put in this aspect If you don't look at it through the eyes of a child Well, not say the eyes of a child, but eyes through your childhood, and stuff like that it does feel like it's a long loop, like it feels like it kind of drags out, but it does get. But. But it does get to a point like it's one of those ones that you just like, just enjoy the little jump scare moments like scooby and shaggy are just gonna be like oh my god, we're about to freak the fuck out. And it winds up being like, just like how in the show, when courage uses his fear to like his fight or flight response to give him the energy that he needs to use. Like, if he needs to flight, he gets the energy he needs to escape just in the nick of time, and if he needs to fight, he gets the energy to like protect muriel and do and that stuff. Like we get that. We do get that in the movie as well too. This whole movie is supposed to be a superior callback to everything. So I get what you mean.
Speaker 2:As far as about the whole cats and like the museum and stuff, the museum was specifically made to talk about all the different things that happened in Nowhere that they survived. That was actually the point of it, of how it was supposed to be, but then like they were still trying to explain, because the thing about it is is that nowhere was under investigation and that's one of the things that at the beginning of the movie was the fact that, yeah, when the mystery gang wound up showing up, they delma had wound up being looking into the history and she's like this whole town is literally under investigation and because it's under investigation, the military has damn near wiped it from the map. It's a fucking invisible town. It's one that they purposely may not exist because they didn't want people showing up here, because they couldn't explain this dumb shit that kept happening all the time I mean, the fact of the matter is that the place is called nowhere, so it's like it has the perfect name to it too.
Speaker 1:It's like, oh, you know, we were just out at um nowhere and I'm like, what does that even mean? I'm like, exactly exactly I'm like technically I'm not lying, but it's so ambiguous it's like you just assuming that, uh, it could have been anywhere exactly.
Speaker 2:And so and yeah, the government purposely did that, they purposely made sure that this town was like off the map. They didn't want anyone visiting because they couldn't explain the nonsense that would happen. How many times the courage to count the dog has? The military showed up and they were just like, yeah, this is just a normal day here, and then just fucking left.
Speaker 1:I remember that one episode where I think it was like the first time it was like a whole 30 minute episode where you had that one guy with the cannons and he was making everybody depressed and shit. And I'm like, bro, that would have been the perfect time to have the military come in, but true by the way that music was fucking banging.
Speaker 2:For some reason I was like it was so dark and ominous I'm like, damn, like it reminded me of the alchemist, because all his uh he's like just so melatonin, just like it's got so much packed emotion in the simplest form and you just like yo how?
Speaker 1:but yeah no, you're right, like it's what I'm saying. Like earth, the caroling dog is left on show it really is.
Speaker 2:But um, as far as about intel, we still get to see the same thing for scooby, where scooby is able to like and put in his fight or flight response, because we get a moment where scooby and courage are like fighting against each other for a little bit and then they finally just like you know what. This was kind of fun, but now it's really time to work together because we need to figure this shit out type of thing. Aside from just being all callbacks the absolute funniest shit that happened in this whole movie and JB.
Speaker 1:I don't know. No, no, no. I know what. I know exactly what you're about to say. I swear to God if you talk about Eustace in that fucking music video it is rap, bruh.
Speaker 2:There's a reason it's called Straight Outta Nowhere, because they legitimately made a whole fucking cover for Straight Outta Compton. Well, eustace just did a whole rap of why it is that he was upset and why he just wanted to live his goddamn life.
Speaker 1:Man youth is really acting like he was a real paper getter. I'm like man, you're a farmer out in the middle of nowhere, shut up.
Speaker 3:How much did we get in paper?
Speaker 2:My wife and I laughed our asses off so fucking hard Like we was cracking up so hard. We watched this movie when my kids were asleep and I want you to understand, we almost woke up the house when this shit came on Because we was like I know you fucking lying. The bad part about it is it's so long, like it's an actual music video type thing, like they put it into into this movie. It's not one of those.
Speaker 1:Oh, this was just like a 20 second segment no, no this shit literally was fucking two minutes long, like the most awkward part about it was him doing that weird dancing with the gold chains and no shirt on with his bony ass. I'm like bro. I mean it was a nice touch with the golden mask, you know, like his oogoo-boogoo-boogoo mask that you have. He had like gold plate on. Okay, that was kind of nice. I would expect him to actually do that. But outside of that I'm like bro. At least put on a fucking shirt dog. I can't, I couldn't.
Speaker 2:He used to start the whole movie with just unbothered as fuck. He was just like I'm tired of everything. Like this was a usage. That was just like. I have literally been through how many goddamn seasons of this show, this whole speculation that, technically, me and my wife died at the end of season one and season two, three or four, is all taking place in courage's head because we fucking died and he's just puppeting us everywhere type shit. I don't got time for none of this nonsense. I just want to eat some fucking food and go to my bed and go to fucking sleep. I don't want to deal with this shit, no more. And it most of them was like Eustace, I fucking feel you, though Just the only Eustace that I kind of related to just a little bit Now again he did went to his nonsense again later, but for the most part he's just like I'm just tired of the bullshit. I'm just tired of all the bullshit. Like I just want to live and just chill out. I'm old as fuck. I ain want to live and just chill out. I'm old as fuck. I ain't got time for none of this nonsense, no more. But, uh, overall, like yeah, the movie itself is very, very simple like.
Speaker 2:This was not meant to be like a long review onto the movie. There's a couple callbacks, some things like. I remember this, I remember this type of thing. Um, the biggest thing in the movie is when velma finally got her explanation but also not explanation so we finally understand the purpose of the meteor. So this meteor wound up crashing down billions of years ago now. Granted, this is the one thing to understand. This is not the meteor that eliminated the dinosaurs. This is a completely different meteor. But this meteor gave out the fucking energy that you would probably expect from a fucking. Um, what's the dude that's immortal in the DC world?
Speaker 1:There's a lot of them. Huh, there's a lot of them. So that's not fair.
Speaker 2:But the one that was a caveman and was immortal.
Speaker 1:Romain King.
Speaker 2:Titan. No, no, no. Way back. Even in the Justice League movie they had one where Superman got sent to the future and he winds up meeting this dude who was the last man alive on Earth. Hold on a second, I'm going to just type in Immortal.
Speaker 1:Cavemanc and I promise you it's gonna pop up vandal savage. I know what, bro. Like I'm mad at you man. Like, look, I know vandal savage, but the way you described my like immortal caveman, I didn't even imagine him being a caveman. Well, okay, you go back to his backstory Like he was living for a while, but the description of him I'm like I'm kind of mad that you described him as a caveman.
Speaker 3:Like he got stripped down. You lived in a cave for like 100 years, but you're immortal and it's 2024 now. Would you be described as a caveman still, or would you just be a regular person?
Speaker 2:Vandal's. The living Vandal Savage is the living explanation of what they have with that vampire thing. The whole Reddit comment was like if you're an immortal person and you still broke something fucking wrong with you, type thing. And it's like, yeah, if you, if you're literally immortal, you, or even if you're not immortal, but you've been alive for hundreds of years and your ass is still fucking broke, something is fucking wrong with you, like what the hell? You should at least have some type of business.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's what I'm saying In recent times. Vandal Savage he got money but I just don't like how that's what he's stuck with.
Speaker 2:It's the only thing, because, look, there's a bunch of immortal motherfuckers, like you said in DC. It's just the fact that he was the only one that was a caveman. He's the only one that's been since fucking Anchor.
Speaker 1:You could have said the dude from the first season of Young Judges are like family savage.
Speaker 2:Man, okay, look, that still wouldn't have meant a good enough description for me, but I got you.
Speaker 2:But no, but just like, as far as like that meteor that winds up emanating, that just emanated a shit ton of just weird fucking energy and stuff.
Speaker 2:It's something similar to that.
Speaker 2:They pretty much took that meteor and put it inside this movie and said that this is the explanation for all the weird shit that happens nowhere, because this meteor just emits tons of like weird ass energy and shit. And so what happens is this meteor is miles and miles underground, which is the explanation for why it is that even during that mole episode for Courage, even though he was in the underground caverns with all those moles, the mole people and stuff, why it is that he still never discovered this meteor is because it was even further down than that. So we get an opportunity to get an explanation that it was actually this meter that caused it, that's been causing all of it. It's just been emitting tons and tons and tons of radiation. But, like in normal movie tropes, as per usual, it winds up being the perfect time that they find it, because the meteor has now reached its maximum potential as far as the amount of radiation that is emitted and now it is about to cause a cataclysmic event and it's about to pretty much fucking explode type shit.
Speaker 1:So they will almost sound like the plot of Eternal.
Speaker 2:Honestly, yeah, so because of the fact of what was happening with the meteor. That meteor was what was causing all of those rate, all those uh those signals and stuff that was sending out, and that's why it was that it was making courage and making uh scoob act weird. The reason being is because courage and scoob are two weird creatures that have nothing to do with the meteor per se, like both of them are dogs that have intelligence up to that of a human and it's like, even though, like, there's not necessarily super genius smart, like courage has shown he can be extremely smart. Scoob has had moments, but you know otherwise, know otherwise not, not not as much really, but they're the only. But they're animals that exude normal intelligence. But they were not effect, but they were not caused that because of the meteor. So they're technically just normally abnormal type thing and because of that they wound up reacting differently to the meteor versus everything else. Everything else was was normal. Meteor versus everything else, everything else was was normal. The cicada queen was a normal fucking cicada until it got completely mutated and radiated and shit like that by the meteor. All those moles same thing, even technically cats cats was not was apparently a normal fucking cat until it got mutated by the fucking um meteor.
Speaker 2:The dog lady that sold the fucking mattress and shit like that sold the cursed mattress. Apparently it's the same thing for her. So it's like everything that exists in nowhere, like in nowhere, the town of nowhere, specifically because that meteor stretched like extremely long radius. So the government had to hide a large ass amount of the fucking United States from everybody per se, which supported the whole Area 51 thing. But this wasn't Area 51. This was like Area 52, per se. So, but that was why it is that Scoob and Courage wound up having these weird noises, like these high pitched noises. That was reacting to them was specifically because that they, being so abnormal as they already were, were starting to get affected by the meteor. And then so they knew something was wrong because it wound up emitting so much energy that it was starting to affect them. But and plus, you know their dogs. Dogs are able to hear high-pitched whines and shit like that very easily too. What?
Speaker 3:was it affecting ma? Huh, you said what was it affecting ma?
Speaker 2:what was what affected by the meteor? What was it affected by? Oh no, the meteor was just, it just was reaching its time, like it was affecting everything else per se. It was just because it was building itself, because, like, it was generally releasing so much energy already as it was since it's been there. But it because it reached this time, it was like, okay, it's like I've existed long enough, it's time for me to fucking explode, type shit. But if it exploded it would have caused like a near fucking nuclear reaction. It would have caused a huge ass explosion, type shit. So now it's up to courage of school to put a stop to it and they need to figure out a way to like harness and control the fucking radiation coming from the meteor and stuff. So it was like okay.
Speaker 2:So now that's pretty much like how it happens and in normal Scooby-Doo Encourage the Cowardly Dog fashion. There's no real explanation. They just kind of just do it because fucking plot, that's just what it is. It's a kid's show, he did it, we saved the day, type of thing. And then they depart ways and they never meet again, which is even more bullshit. Because I'm just like, really it's just what's going on about your lives. We just never met again. But then I also understand. Velma was just like yeah, we're never going back to nowhere again. I can't deal with that shit being somewhere where a bunch of weird shit happens that I can't explain. No, it's too much for me to handle.
Speaker 1:We're going to pretend that place doesn't exist Exactly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. So like the very end of the movie with the meteor is the only time that you actually wind up getting the actual plot device for the movie. Otherwise everything else is just callbacks. Everything is just supposed to be just absolute stupid humor. Fun, think. The one of the other funniest things for me is uh scoob getting a chance to talk with the computer. He's not a computer, just roast. Uh courage all the time for just being, because he's just the generic british smart dude well, he like okay.
Speaker 1:So after him, after all that, he got the information that he needed and he was like thank you, scooby. Then Courage was like aww. Then he was like thank you as well, courage. I was like yay. I was like hold on, you just wrote the shit out of that dog. It's special when Scooby and the tab was around.
Speaker 2:Pretty much. I think it was all supposed to be like the closing off thing, because keep in mind that this was Eustace did not scare Courage as much either.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's almost like between the computer and Eustace. They were like a little out of character, Just a little.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but it was just probably to satisfy hey, well, well, let's get this closing. You know everyone has like, not everyone, but you know this kids who you just want that thumbs up from dad, like I did. Good dad, good job and courage. Never gets that like ever, except for Muriel, so him finally getting that from you know you.
Speaker 1:I mean, it really depends like y'all want to talk about courage kelly dog as a show, but, but I'm fat while I was all trying to prepare for all this was. I mean, it's one of the things where I might have forgot, like it might have been an episode, um, that I just forgot about. But it's still kind of wild to me how, technically, uh, somebody said, uh well, not not just somebody, but a bunch of people were saying you know, like youtube and whatnot, uh, they were talking about how courage's parents, they're not dead, they're just stranded on another planet. I'm like what?
Speaker 2:You don't remember that episode. That was a whole special. It was a whole 30-minute special on today when what happened is that Courage wasn't feeling the best. He was just all of a sudden spacing out there was no real reason for it. He was looking at a carton of milk and he winds up seeing a missing dog poster, a little missing dog thing on there. You winds up seeing a missing dog poster, a little missing dog thing on there. You remember back, way back in the day where before we have amber alerts and stuff.
Speaker 1:If a kid went missing, they put it on the back of milk cartons. It feels like one of those episodes that somehow got blocked out of my memory, like it's like you would think I would have know that, but there is.
Speaker 2:This is the. This is one of the few, because there's a couple. There's a couple episodes like this, but this is one of the few episodes that there is absolutely no. No humor, no dark humor in this entire episode whatsoever. The entire episode is completely dark from beginning to end, is pretty much what it is, because, like the inch, like in short courage, he keeps spacing out.
Speaker 2:Once he saw that wanted dog post, that uh missing dog poster, his brain just kept flipping back to when he was a missing dog, to what happened to his parents. So what happened is is that his parents took him to the vet because, you know, even walking talking dogs because apparently courage actually come his parents are also kind of weird too. They talk as well. His dad had a mustache and a fucking top hat and everything in the suit. It was very hilarious. That was probably the only funny thing, but again, it's not. This was not really a funny episode. It was nothing funny about it is the fact that they took him for his regular checkup because Courage was still a baby. So they took him for a checkup and what happened is is that the doctor wound up doing his checkup in the normal weird Courage the Cowardly Dog fashion. But then he told the parents he's like hey, I need to talk with you guys. So he gave Courage a lollipop and he took the parents in the back. Courage was eating a lollipop.
Speaker 1:He winds up popping off his tongue. Wait a minute. I remember this episode.
Speaker 2:Now okay yeah, okay, yeah, once again.
Speaker 1:It just felt like it kind of like got. I guess it was so dark that I kind of blocked out my memory because I was like, damn, this is like really sad, really sad, like yeah, there's no comedy in this particular episode whatsoever.
Speaker 2:This entire episode is dark from beginning to end, absolutely. But yeah. So then you find out even though this is technically supposed to have been years later because of that other planet, that this vet wound up sending not just Courage's parents but the other dogs too. They don't age and they either don't age or they age extremely slow, which does make sense because they've technically scientifically proven that that if we were to live like on saturn or something like that, we would age significantly slower than we age here on earth. Because it takes longer to rotate around the sun, gravitational pulls and stuff like that our bodies actually will forcibly slowly age. It just doesn't work that well versus if we were like closer to the sun with the gravitational pull, we would age faster. So technically they've scientifically proven that per se. But because he sent them so far off, they age. They either age slowly or they just don't age one or two things. But it's because of the planet that he sent them on.
Speaker 2:But they wound up sending the vet there and then they wanted to. All the dogs jumped and, I assume, killed him, but we don't know. He's left that open the air. But yeah, I know, yeah, but yeah, you're right, you more than likely did completely block that shit out because it was a dark ass episode. There was nothing funny about it. I remember watching the episode and I was like damn, I didn't laugh once. And I like dark humor, but did I miss it? Was there supposed?
Speaker 1:to be some type of dark humor. There was no humor, it was just dark.
Speaker 2:Yeah. So this is one of those ones that you were just like, okay, never mind, damn. Yeah, this is one of those ones that you're just like, okay, never mind, damn. This wasn't even like a season finale or nothing like that. This was smack dab in the fucking middle of like season 3. I think I was like, damn, okay, dark as fuck, I guess I was like congratulations.
Speaker 1:You guys ruined my whole day honestly.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was how I felt when I first watched that. I felt bad because I've already mentioned earlier, I grew up with a single mom. I've already mentioned this. In this particular episode I didn't have my dad. No, it was Dragon Ball Super. Oh, the previous one with my dad, I mentioned it here too. I'm sorry, me watching that was like damn Okay, didn't I like the way this made me feel, mommy, I think I need to talk to a therapist. I'd probably be the only dark human that would have been there, but no, I need to go hug my parents real quick, say damn.
Speaker 2:Courage had his dark moments. I guess, if we're transitioning to just talking about some moments of courage I know you mentioned this early on we probably just do quick things of courage and then maybe we'll probably do a Scooby Doo in like multiple segments. We'll see Courage had so many different things that he has fucking been through that mattress episode with Evil Muriel was the one, that one where I'm like that creeped me out for real.
Speaker 2:I want you to understand. I slept on the floor for about a week after watching that one and the reason being is because my mattress was a hand me down. So I got my mattress after both my older brothers had slept on it and stuff, so it was already old as hell. You're supposed to replace a mattress eight years, this mattress by 14 years. This thing has beyond served itself and I had already been sleeping on this old spring mattress, having a back, having all this back pain, and you mean to tell me that my brain was thinking it's because the mattress is cursed. It didn't help that not long after I watched the episode that a spring literally popped out the fucking mattress and I was like, oh no, it's cursed, I can't do this and I'm just like that. I don't know.
Speaker 2:It's weird when you watch a show and you just like you know it's fake, but then all of a sudden some random real life scenario that kind of somewhat lines up with it and you start to really question for a moment. Might this be? That was me as a kid? I had so many of those situations happen, but for some reason I still like watching Crash, the Cow and the Dog and Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. To this day I still throw if I spill salt. I still throw salt off my shoulder. If you watch Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, you know why. But then of course everyone has the iconic Courage, the Cowardly Dog episode they love. I know, tuck, you and I had talked about this one before too. I remember when you used to be weird about it, when you would just randomly say this shit out of nowhere, when I would go down the street.
Speaker 3:Pretend to smile.
Speaker 1:Yes, what's your offer?
Speaker 2:You walk out the house one time and be like you and.
Speaker 1:Brandon for sure.
Speaker 3:Bro, that junk is so good. Bro, you know what they missed? A fucking bag. Because that episode where Miriam was a little kid and she kept saying more macaroni more cheese?
Speaker 2:Ooh, no, no, I can't either.
Speaker 1:I'm like this little.
Speaker 3:They should have made a show with them as kids, bro, they would have had a lot of money for that I mean they can.
Speaker 2:I mean technically they're just doing it with dragon ball diamond right now, why not? Like it's just saying, uh no, I can't. So the thing about it is I literally can't because apparently I don't know. I don't know if I still can because I'm still sick right now, but apparently I say the voice well enough that it makes my wife giggle and right now my baby's asleep. So if I do the voice right now she's gonna bust out laughing and it's probably gonna wake up the baby. So I can't do it. But understand. That episode was one of the funniest one so recently actually it was not not recently, never mind, it was actually a couple years ago then. So like a few years ago, me and my wife actually went back to revenge courage to Calvary dog. We had tried watching it with our kids but then we had stopped because we was like, damn our parents, let us watch this as kid.
Speaker 1:This really fucks up this, that bullshit that really drives my gear. You already know cookie gossip, but it grinds my gears when you already know Cookie Gossip, but it grinds my gears when y'all underestimate how dark an adult animation can get. Okay, sure, yeah, let your kids watch this shit. Man, things turn out to be scarred for life watching shit like Curse of the Cowardly Dog, flapjack and what not.
Speaker 3:It's like.
Speaker 2:No, no. The funniest one is how this happens nowadays. It's the fact that apparently this is still crazy to me because some of these parents are in our age group, so that's what throws me off. You're in our age group, you watch the nonsensical shows that we have seen. Your kids are all of a sudden playing Five Nights at Freddy's. Then there's a movie comes out Five Nightsreddy's. It literally says r-rated. It literally says this, nothing else to say pg-13 okay, but it literally says this. And you're like oh, my kid plays this game. They made a movie of it. I'm gonna take my kids to this movie. And then the parents flip the fuck out. Like how dare you say, make this for children and stuff like that. There's nothing here that said that this was for children. The game was not for children, just like you said.
Speaker 1:Like I had an hotel all over again yes, yes, this is not for kids.
Speaker 2:You're. It absolutely says at the very fucking beginning Warning this is not for children.
Speaker 1:There's going to be a lot of wild shit. That's going to happen.
Speaker 2:It's just, it's hilarious to me, but no, we watched so much, so much dark ass shit Like hers was one of those ones that you was like, yo like the holiday special, the nutcracker one. When they went to the junkyard, first off understanding into this one, eustace's ass is so fucking cheap that when they needed some different furniture you said we go into the junkyard to get free shit.
Speaker 1:Who would you say is cheaper, eustace or Mr Krabs?
Speaker 2:god damn it, mr Krabs. Mr Krabs will look the fact that Mr Krabs sucked a fucking TV show out of a niggas brain. Mr Krabs goes dumpster diving too, but I'm just that right there. There is nothing. There is nothing that can top that shit. If you say anybody.
Speaker 3:Mr Krabs sold Spongebob for like what? A 52 cent 32 cent.
Speaker 2:Not even that much. It was 12 cent in a lint of dust.
Speaker 1:Yeah it was 52 cent in a lint of dust. Yeah, it was 62 cents in a pocket lint 62 cents. Oh the money, bro, bro, you remember that one time when Patrick was just cussing up a storm and then Mr Krabs was cussing up a storm, they were all snitching to Mr Krabs mama and then she fainted and then he was like oh mama, what did they do to you? And then just took a quarter hour for parking. I was like man, what the fuck?
Speaker 3:That fucking dolphin sound bro.
Speaker 2:Look, look, tuck, I know you've seen the latest Trolls movie. Look, look, I know you've seen the latest trolls movie, so you understand that moment when, like um, baby b, and they had the fucking eye, the pink eye. Daddy, we got pink eye, oh shit.
Speaker 1:Rewind.
Speaker 2:What was that name again, baby b oh okay, I thought you said baby d like, next Friday baby d Rewind.
Speaker 1:What was that name? Again Baby D. Oh, okay, I thought you said Baby D like next.
Speaker 2:Friday Baby D Nah, it's a little glitter baby that has like a fucking deep ass voice. Yeah, it's played by Keenan. It is played by Keenan, that's right, it's hilarious Really. But literally he has a whole segment into it where we run into a character, we talk about his kids and the kids are just like hey, daddy, daddy, we got pink eye and the shit, they're puppets, which is, if you have never seen Trolls, it's going to be pretty weird as fuck to you.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's going to be weird, it would be weird to you anyway, but they're fucking puppets and they put some weird as gold glittery shit around the eye and it's like normally gold glitter looks pretty cool, but in this way it absolutely looks fucking disgusting, just like holy shit. I didn't think you can make gold glitter look gross, but somehow or another you did it. But it was like daddy, dad, we got pink eye and nigga was like holy shit, what the fuck it was that we got pink eye and nigga was like holy shit, what the fuck. Who should understand this? In the kids movie that they said this and they kept it in, they just put a big bleep sound in it and I was like, uh, excuse me yeah, it was a good movie too, man, it is really.
Speaker 2:My kids have seen this thing so many damn times.
Speaker 3:I'm just I got the soundtrack on my phone because I bet you do. I have to keep playing it on the way to school. Look, it's one specific song she want to go back to over and over. Oh my God.
Speaker 2:I don't know which one.
Speaker 3:She want to listen to all of them, but then she'll be like go back to that other song. I'm like golly wait till she found out Justin Timberlake got arrested that part.
Speaker 2:But no, I actually have all three movies. I just go on Spotify and just play the cycle of all three of them. At least we get some type of variety. I literally gonna be playing that again tomorrow taking my kids to school. It's going to be playing in the car, yeah.
Speaker 3:The fact that NSYNC reunited for the movie is crazy too, honestly yeah, but going back, courage again.
Speaker 2:Sorry, I was talking about random crazy shit that happens. Courage is literally Honestly. I think Courage is the reason we have the fucking Trolls movie that happens to.
Speaker 1:Courage is literally honestly I think courage is the reason we have the fucking trolls movies. You want to be honest. The cajun fox that was trying to kidnap muriel for some cajun stew, I thought it was kind of funny that was good, yeah, like honestly that was because he was like I'm gonna go fatten her up.
Speaker 2:He said, yeah, it's gonna taste delicious and I'm like, but that was kind of a general joke to me. It was like, oh, we eat the animals, what the animals decide to eat us. Then it sounds like nature, like the fuck. You mean no, the one with fucking With the Valkyries.
Speaker 3:Oh lord. Do y'all have a dog.
Speaker 2:I used to.
Speaker 3:I really want a dog. Oh, I do, I want to talk to my dog.
Speaker 1:I used to. I used to. I really want a dog. Oh, I do, I do.
Speaker 3:I want to talk to my dog how I used to be talking to parents.
Speaker 1:That's honestly what I'd be doing with my dog. I'd be like what up, pup, how you been doing you chilling? I'd be talking to my dog like she can understand me.
Speaker 2:No, no no, I want you to go back and listen To what it is that Tuck just said. Say that nonsense again and see how many people Gonna come and try to cancel your ass, tuck.
Speaker 3:No, listen, dude, now what he say.
Speaker 2:He said he wanna get a dog and talk to that dog, like how he used his Talks to courage. That's what the fuck he say, not all the time though.
Speaker 3:Oh, so you talking about being really abusive Nah nah, not being abusive Like this is when they do stupid stuff Like stupid dog.
Speaker 1:I mean that's verbally abusive Dogs be stupid.
Speaker 3:For no reason, though, they be doing the stupidest stuff. That baby See his nails on the floor. What you licking it for, like? What is wrong with you? That's how you got. That's how you got Also last time. You want to do it again? Look at you, and then we having a sad face too. It'd be so cute.
Speaker 2:I can't. I can't with you, can't with you. It's your nonsense, bro. I'm about to get a puppy too. I don't know, you probably need to wait another year. I'm getting a Yorkie man. Please don't.
Speaker 3:For the love of God. Don't know, you probably need to wait another year. I'm not kidding, I'm getting a Yorkie man Please don't, for the love of God, don't. I don't want a.
Speaker 2:Yorkie so bad. You have a child, do not get a fucking Yorkie.
Speaker 3:She needs to be 15.
Speaker 2:She needs to be 15 before she gets a fucking Yorkie. Don't know.
Speaker 3:Don't, because, like her, grandma had a Yorkie and the Yorkie died and now she wants a Yorkie. I'm just gaming, Like bro.
Speaker 2:You know what I did that? I did that with my ex, my ex. She had her dog, her grandma had a dog.
Speaker 1:My neighbor had a Yorkie and literally had that.
Speaker 2:Some things is aggravating as fuck, ain't they?
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, like when they like barking and what not, but like Yorkies are a small dog.
Speaker 2:That has been proven that they are fearful of every fucking thing. It's even worse for a teacup, like Yorkies, because they know that they're small, try to get big dog voice all the time. That's why they bark all the fucking time. They're legitimately try to get big dog voice all the time. That's why they bark all the fucking time. They're legitimately scared of every fucking thing and that's like yorkies and chihuahuas are the biggest thing. They're actually scared of stuff and because they're scared of it, because they're scared of it, they're constantly trying to intimidate everything else to make them feel like that they're bigger than that. Oh no, I'm not scared. I'm not scared.
Speaker 1:You can't do nothing to me, but they know that they're small yeah, that's why whenever I walk up to it, I realize he just be barking at me, trying to run up to me. I'm barking, but whenever I approach her then she want to run away, like oh so you want to be on some funk shit exactly that's.
Speaker 2:That's a their natural way of protecting themselves. It's trying to be like oh. It's trying to say like oh, I'm big and bad. I'm big and bad.
Speaker 1:It's almost like that one person that's always talking shit to you until you start jumping at it Exactly.
Speaker 2:That's exactly what it is. That's why I say don't get no damn Yorkie. And Yorkies bite Yorkies teeth. Because of how small they are, their teeth are sharp. Their teeth are just like damn newborn baby teeth Well, not newborn, but you know what I mean Like six-month-old baby teeth when them teeth are small and sharp. Right there, you don't get a Yorkie, bro, Don't get a Yorkie. That's an absolute bad idea, is an absolute bad idea. Please don't get Baby Grime on your. Don't do that.
Speaker 1:What would be a good starter dog?
Speaker 2:A good starter dog, In all honesty. You can look it up online. There's a bunch of different ones, but some of the most recommended ones would be like Golden Retriever. I was thinking Golden.
Speaker 1:Retriever, because that's a good family dog. Labradors sometimes could be a good family dog.
Speaker 2:Labradors sometimes could be a good family starter as well.
Speaker 3:I don't want none of them dogs to be shed.
Speaker 2:You can get some good dogs that don't have a lot of shed for either. Dalmatians would not recommend.
Speaker 1:Dalmatians seem like they're good.
Speaker 2:That'd probably go.
Speaker 3:What about?
Speaker 1:Greyhound, greyhound, I mean, I don't think.
Speaker 2:I mean you gotta be mindful of a dog's energy, bro, cause sometimes some dogs have too much energy, have a lot of energy and you can't handle it Like if you're not there to let them be able to run around and get that energy out. They start taking that shit out and go for furniture and stuff.
Speaker 1:Yeah that's me with my Australian shepherd. Well, he's an Australian slash German mix.
Speaker 3:Mmm, what is courage? Matter of fact, look it up, I don't know.
Speaker 2:I forgot he is a mutt, but I don't remember.
Speaker 3:He actually designed it.
Speaker 2:Because they designed. He has a hole in his teeth because he has a bunch of candy. It's actually canonical that Muriel does not know how to raise a dog and because of how old she is, she raises him like how a grandma would raise babies and stuff. Keep in mind Courage sits at the table. Courage is constantly eating lollipops and candy and stuff. Where do you think he gets that from? Aside from Toon Logic. He mostly gets that shit from the fact that, bro, you just.
Speaker 1:You mean the old lady.
Speaker 3:I forgot.
Speaker 1:Listen, you pretty much just said that Muriel was a dog mom before that became popular.
Speaker 2:Honestly yes, it's a fact.
Speaker 3:It says Courage is a pink beagle.
Speaker 1:A beagle really Beagle?
Speaker 2:yep, Beagles are good dogs too, yeah.
Speaker 3:Beagles are good.
Speaker 2:I remember one dog from Cats and Dogs that was a big old, yeah, lou, yeah, but yeah no, it's been quite a few different types of dogs that you can get as good starter dogs If you don't want the sheds too much. You can get one like that too, but no, you can find something. You can find one like that too, but no, you can find something, and you can find one that's not super expensive. Also, the biggest thing about it is that you don't have to buy Purina Puppy Child all the damn time.
Speaker 1:Me just buying a whole bag of Purina Puppy Child.
Speaker 2:It's up to you. Look, if you buy that, that's what you buy, I mean she eat it real up, real good.
Speaker 1:So I'm like, hey, man, you know I'll spoil her every now and then, so I'll give you like the good shit every now and then. I'll be giving her one of those, uh, the purina baking strips.
Speaker 2:I'm like, yeah, you get the premium treats okay, but I mean that's that's entirely up to you. I'm just saying you don't have to go the expensive, that extra expensive route. There's actually um kind of funny you're saying that well that I just bought some Purina just because it's the most common brand, is bought like to be honest, which is very easy, but you can get some pedigree and all those one on Alpo.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but yeah, no, I mean like you can find something, but yeah, it's like that. I like how encouraged when we do get a chance to meet other dogs is a bunch of cool stuff. Oh, the one of the other dog, the God dog, the one with that, was constantly crying all the time and because her dog loved the little god bone, the specialized bone, more than it was like, don't start licking this bone, because once you do, you'll never stop. And it showed that it was a dog that was licking the bone that had died.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Hey, hey.
Speaker 1:Hold on. I know we ain't gonna close this out Without talking about my boyfriend.
Speaker 2:Oh no. Why is he a boy, though?
Speaker 1:I mean because he's kind of funny, you know, like he's like a Living meme at this point, especially the way he says Naughty Yo like what?
Speaker 2:Why you saying it like that living meme at this point, especially the way he says naughty.
Speaker 1:I'm like what? Why are you saying it like that? Look, and with that big ass smile on his face, I don't want to trust you, motherfucker.
Speaker 2:Muriel's brother is literally clinically insane. He's introduced saying that he came out of a fucking mouse and was released and the first place he goes is to people with hair. And they specifically say that that's the reason that he was put in the first place Was because of how he reacts to people with a lot of hair, like why would you do this? Look, run through a big gauntlet, because it's too like there's two characters that I have to mention that, honestly, was probably some of the best story building. So the um first one that I definitely want to mention is the space ducks.
Speaker 2:I like how, literally just like with, like some people um want to put piecing it together, just like with stink meter episodes in the Boondocks Every season has one Stinkmeater episode. Every current season has one Duck episode and you're actually following along. It's like the whole story of it and if you pay attention, it's very similar to Stinkmeater Because, keep in mind, in the first one, robert fights Stinkmeater and then he winds up killing him in the end. In the second one, stink meaner and then he winds up killing him in the end. In the second one, he gets resurrected and then comes back and so you have to fight him again. Then he fights the heiocracy which is like pretty much almost like the family of it, the family of the um of stink meaner per se. Well, the only ones that really liked him per se kind of liked him well, and then the fourth one.
Speaker 1:They hate each other, but it's more like yeah, it's like at least we understand each other. So I'm like, okay, we can kind of tolerate each other, but we still hate him pretty much.
Speaker 2:I should just finish re-watching um cj the champs sting meter um trilogy episode the hate of the of that whole thing.
Speaker 1:It was hilarious um the player haters. Ball is like I hate each other but it's like they. Player-haters ball they hate each other, but they respect each other at the same time. I don't know, it's weird.
Speaker 2:If you pay attention to Courage, the Cowardly Dog, it's the exact same thing that happens. You start off meeting the duck being the space duck. He comes in, he's trying to take Muriel and stuff. Then he winds up having courage, winds up using his own weapon against him and winds up killing him, turning him into roasted duck. Then he gets taken back into a spaceship and goes back into outer space.
Speaker 2:The next season the roasted duck comes back. You find out that he's still technically alive somehow, which doesn't even make any type of sense, and now he's starting to steal people's heads and put it on his body. So he got resurrected per per se. And then the third season is his family because the mom is was so upset about the fact that, um, that her husband was killed, that they were just like you need to um, kill courage and if you don't kill him, then you can never come home again, type thing which was honestly so. That's a whole thing itself to pack, to unpack like. There's so many different psychological, like what the fuck's inside of courage to cowardly dog, but I'm not gonna go into that one, but um, and then there was actually another episode where literally it winds up being like a clone per se of that duck that actually comes back and that clone actually does wind up coming back and they terrorize. And courage again too. And it's hilarious when you realize that the parallel is like the exact same thing that happened with stingy meter is the exact same thing that happened with the duck and it was really weird in that aspect.
Speaker 2:The last thing I want to mention is one of the most emotional and I mean this one was actually considered more emotional than the whole Courage's parents thing. When I say it this way, I say this and then I'll explain what it is. Literally what wound up happening is that, unlike Courage's parents, they still aired that episode on Cartoon Network. Albeit, they did actually put some type of warning on the front of that episode after it aired the first time because parents were kind of upset about it. So this one was so emotionally tantering that they actually removed this off of Cartoon Network and it is actually considered a banned episode. And I'm talking about Cat and Dog with Kitty was dating episode. And I'm talking about Cat and Dog With Kitty was dating Mad Dog and her girl.
Speaker 1:Bunny, because it looked like she was in an abusive relationship.
Speaker 2:She was in an abusive relationship and it promoted LGBT because Kitty wanted to run away with, kitty was trying to run away with Bunny the whole time, and so these were very clear with two, clearly with two girls that were trying to run away with each other after having an abusive relationship with the guy who was also innate.
Speaker 1:This was literally canonical yeah.
Speaker 2:And this is actually very canonical with the episode as well too. He was an actual gangster leader, so he went around abusing people, went around beating people up and getting money. That's exactly how he not only was he portrayed, that's exactly canonical of what he was in the show, and so it's like there was so much that was put inside of that episode that cartoon network literally banned the episode after it aired. They were like nah, that's too much, we can't deal with that did y'all forget this?
Speaker 1:supposed to be a kids show.
Speaker 2:Hold on, look, we don't talk about kids shows man, no, no, no, that's what.
Speaker 1:I'm saying that's how I imagine the broadcast studio. Hey, yo did y'all forget y'all a kids show.
Speaker 2:Look 4KidsTV, 4kidstv, and they damn Teenage Mutant, ninja, tur turtles. They the ones you need to talk about. Fucking kids show and shit, like the amount of crazy nonsense that both shredders did, the amount of people that literally they showed getting killed and what the fuck happened to them in that fucking show was, god damn it, insane as fuck. And they're like this is for kids, this is insane people. It's like we have to censor Yukio. We have to censor Shaolin. No, not Shaolin Shodown. We have to censor Shaman King. That's what it was. They censored that one too. It's like, oh, we gotta censor all this anime. We're gonna put some of the most screwed up shows on this show. That one right there let me lighten up.
Speaker 1:Let me lighten this up a little bit, like okay, y'all remember um sounds familiar uh basically he was like this uh curse I guess it was like a curse on vinyl record and whenever you play it he will show up, and I guess not him being there it's bad, but whenever you uh turn off the record play he's like dragsville oh, yeah, yeah, I do remember that one, or the shot that they took Of Steven Spielberg.
Speaker 2:That one was funny.
Speaker 1:Oh right, I remember the name of that one episode that I liked, the one when the doctor was making the tower of Dr Zalos.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, I like that one. Oh, flan, flan.
Speaker 1:Oh, hold on, I like the one with the pig, husband and wife. You know, like the butcher and then like he was honestly Trying to be friendly and what not, but he was being so creepy about it and I was like, come on, I just want you to meet my wife. Oh no.
Speaker 2:I like how, literally throughout the whole episode, you swore that they were just going to eat them and stuff. And then at the very end of the episode, after Courage finally leaves, he was like yeah, we just left Eustace there. And it's the one episode where nothing bad happens to Eustace. He didn't get turned into anything. He literally meant he just wanted to meet his wife and then he would actually want to cook good food for them. I think that's the only episode that actually ended with nothing bad happening to Eustace.
Speaker 1:I mean to be fair, what Eustace being so manicured, it just felt like, okay, he needs some karmic justice done to him. So, yeah, speaking, felt like okay, he needs some karmic justice done to him. So, yeah, speaking of which, at random, I remember this one episode the one queen that was in that puddle and she was like trying to steal Eustace away and encourage you guys to dive into her world to rescue him.
Speaker 2:Only because Muriel was like you can't take my husband bullshit, he abuses you, let him go. You want to talk?
Speaker 3:about okay.
Speaker 2:I'm trying to stay positive on, so I'm going to close out positive, but just still that one episode where they were all about to die from a giant starfish literally fucking Starro from DC because Muriel was so pissed off at Eustace that she decided to stop talking to him. Wow, that episode was hilarious.
Speaker 1:The one episode with the crocodile and the. That episode was hilarious. The one episode with the crocodile and the puppets, you know like the puppet theater and the how now Brown cow.
Speaker 2:See, that's the one I was talking about. That the whole theory Comes in because that was at the very end of season One and that was where the theory came that actually Eustace and Muriel did Officially die there because they were, they returned to puppets and their souls were forever sealed inside the puppets. So everything else is only based on. Yeah, so that's the one that caused that crazy theory to happen.
Speaker 1:So I don't know I just remembered all I mean the way you were describing. It was like okay, hold on. I know at the end of season one like yeah, but like I just remember the details and all that, so my bad.
Speaker 2:No, you're good. I just remembered that that was the one, oh dang, I'm trying to think of what was one that was stupid, hilarious, honestly. The one where all the villains teamed up against courage for the dodgeball game yeah, that one was good.
Speaker 1:Especially I like the uh, even though it was short, I like how the duck brother showed up and did the halftime show, like in fact, I would say that every time I'm like at work or whatnot and I'm like thinking, man, I can't wait to go home, and I look at the clock and it's like halfway through my shift and I'll just be like have time show. I'm like man, why you being so weird? I need something to get through this fucking shift.
Speaker 2:Okay, leave me alone that part, like the jazz singer, when the entire, his entire thing was him. But every time someone like had a bad singing, they sung bad and made his stomach hurt, then they would um, he would like he would drop them in the stomach acid, digest them. But that time when he finally was calm, when he finally calmed, he's like someone who actually appreciates music, for music, not someone who's here just to try to make a quick buck, not someone who's here trying to do this but who actually enjoys music. That's what I miss and I feel crazy. I find it hilarious considering the fact that tyler the creator wound up almost quoting that exact same thing when he was calling everybody out recently about the fact that he's like if you're not making music for the love of music, what are you doing? I don't know. One of you guys should remember that too. But uh, I'm just trying to.
Speaker 2:Everything has some type of dark humor to it. That's just what it is. But then there are some episodes that's kind of lighthearted. It is funny, it is enjoyable. Oh, can we?
Speaker 1:talk about the last episode, like before they had like the special and then eventually straight out of nowhere. I like how this was the last episode where courage uh had like this teacher who was like the manifestation of kurt's own self-doubt and insecurity and she was like you gotta be perfect. And then that one like I guess it was like a real tight creature was like you're perfect just the way you are, man. I was like that was kind of beautiful. That's like a beautiful way to end the series.
Speaker 2:In a way, I'm like huh after having one of the most fucked up scene, dream scenes in the entire show.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean god damn After having one of the most fucked up dream scenes in the entire show. Yeah, I mean god damn, when you think about it, those two were right there together. The darkest episode, followed by one more cathartic episode.
Speaker 2:Excuse me, but that whole thing. He made that beautiful picture and it was just cathartic episodes, but that whole thing, but that whole thing. Yeah, like you said, he made that beautiful picture and it was just space and stuff like that. And it's like I said draw the number six, and then he just folds it up and it's like it's the number six and she's like no, that's not, that can't be, that can't be.
Speaker 1:And I'm like this is what happens to kids Also, because it's not the way you would do it. It's wrong.
Speaker 2:Oh, my goodness, I just realized that was the first, karen. That's not what it was supposed to be. You know what it was supposed to be. I did what you said, Karen. Back it up, go ahead and melt. Wicked Witch of the West Melting.
Speaker 2:There's very good moments, moments, and you're right that that last episode was a great send-off in itself. Like we got an opportunity to be like hey, at the very end of the day, you don't have to be perfect, just be the best that you can be and you're good to go, and that's that's all that matters. And then, like, even that moment was one where the computer wound up giving courage, some advice, without actually scolding him where he was like, look, she wants you to be perfect about everything, but nothing's perfect. There's no way to be perfect. Just be you. That's all you can do. Let you will help her, send her away and, sure enough, yeah, that's what happened. He finally got that piece. So I guess, if I have my final word here, because I'm pushing well past time I was supposed to bid off. I'm sorry, um, for my final word. Yes, you don't have to be perfect.
Speaker 2:This movie that we talked about was not perfect. Curse, your character. Whole series was not perfect. At the same, it's enjoyable in its own moments. You have moments that are dark. You have moments that make you happy. The main thing about it is is make the most of everything you have. As long as you're doing your absolute best and you love yourself, you got this.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah. With that being said, Tuck, do you have anything you want to add on before we close it out?
Speaker 3:no, gotcha so well, damn it.
Speaker 1:Uh, honestly, I will say I didn't really watch the whole movie, so I can't really judge it based off like a rating. But if I could rate curtsy kelly dog that definitely seen, I would definitely give it a five out of five stars for what it was like. It was like one of the very first uh, horror, uh cartoons that kids got involved in. And crazy how, like it just seems like for the most part from 1999 to 2002, this show just kept going with like new episodes, like I think they took a break, like I want to say like, uh, like a month apart, saying that was the funny thing too like if it came down to a new season of a show that was uh, popping off, chances are you'll probably see uh, a new season like anywhere between one month to maybe like two to three. Like I'm looking at now to where, all right, season one, season two the gap between them was march and october, so that was like seven months there. Okay, because you know, fair enough, uh, that was the first season. Uh, season two, uh and season three. The gap between that was, uh, two months, yeah, two months, and then the gap between season three and season four was one month, so for the most part, they were really pumping out these episodes and if I were to rate it, yeah, like five out of five for what it was, uh, I, I didn't see any problem with it. I just enjoyed it for what it was, uh.
Speaker 1:With that being said, we're just going to go ahead and close this one out. Uh, yes, we're going to probably work on the Scooby Doo stream review, but the question is when? Because we got a whole bunch of things on the schedule right now and I don't even know if next october is gonna be good, because october is always something to where I'm like. You know, we got a whole bunch of horror, uh, movies, tv shows, games that we could be talking about, so we'll just have to see. Until then, stay nerdy. Remember that great things are coming. I'm gonna go ahead and zone out of here, so have yourself a good morning, good afternoon and good night.
