After These Messages: Warner Brothers

Geoffrey and Julia take a look at some Warner Brothers things tangentially related to Tiny Toon Adventures. We started off with a look at Loonatics Unleashed, a gritty sci-fi future with Looney Tunes characters. This one led Geoffrey to dis Space Jam and talk about his idea for a gritty reboot of The Jetsons. Does anyone want that?Nest we watched the Dodo scene from Porky in Wackyland, a Looney Tunes piece fro 1938. So that's apparently where Gogo Dodo comes from. It's definitely wacky. Also Geoffrey reveals that he finds Porky Pig to be a sub par Looney Toon. Julia is not so sure. Julia remembered visiting the Warner Brothers Store in the 90s, so we watched someone else's nostalgia video about the stores. Warning that this one takes a sharp turn into September 11th talk. Our talk about Warner Bros. stores led us to reminisce about childhood visits to Universal Studios. Finally, we watched this ad for a Visa Check Card from the 1990s when people had to be told what a debit card was because it was not assumed to be standard. Whoa. Bonus: This commercial actually takes place inside a Warner Bros. store!Did you visit a Warner Bros. store in the 90s? Did you watch Loonatics Unleashed?
