187 - The Critic

Most of the titles that cross Ben and Zane’s desk never make it to review, but they felt bad about rejecting cartoons out of line. As luck would have it, the Critique himself, our friendly neighborhood Dane Caverns came by to take the worst stuff off their hands. Within an hour, the Critique had given the most scathing criticism he could muster to the worst offenders, saving Ben and Zane from doing it themselves. With his help, the Cartoncasters will never have to review a show and proclaim… It stinks! * Professional hot scientist, NDT * Oh shit, Key was in The Pentaverate! * Matt Groening is weirdly defensive about The Critic * Rat Race happened, and we’re all upset about it * David S. Pumpkins happened and we’re still confused why * Irresistible * “Peas in July” in the Critic * … And in Animaniacs * …And Maurice Lamarche doing it in a panel * Simpsons short stories episode… The origin of Steamed Hams * Mission Hill
