What A Cartoon! - The March 2022 Schedule

Spring is about to arrive at The Talking Simpsons Network, and we've got a ton of cool stuff planned for the month of St. Patrick's Day. We've got an adaptation of a classic Japanese comic, plus podcasts about robots and Mexico, all topped off with a Disney classic about talking marionettes! That's on top of all our usual fun in the world of Springfield with some great guests.

And remember, if you'd like to listen to this month's episodes of TalKing of the Hill and Talking Futurama, you'll need to sign up at the $5 level or higher on the Talking Simpsons Patreon. Once you subscribe, you'll get to hear our miniseries episodes as soon as they go live, and also access our extensive back catalog of Patreon-exclusive podcasts—over 100 to date!

Here's what's on the schedule for February:

Berserk (1997) - "The Band of the Hawk" [Patreon: 3/7/22 - Free Feed: 3/14/22]

We're joined again by top Patreon subscriber Devin for a pick that our Discord really enjoyed, the 1997 adaptation of Berserk! Yes, we're diving into the first animated interpretation of the late Kentaro Miura's masterpiece, and discovering the interesting background of the people who adapted it 25 years ago. We don't know why you're afraid, cuz this'll be lots of fun!

You can watch this episode on YouTube.

Talking Futurama - "I Dated A Robot" [Patreon: 3/14/22]

It's time for one of Futurama's horniest episodes with a big guest star, as Lucy Liu becomes a robot to make out with Fry. We dig deep into Charlie's Angels, file sharing programs, and tons more in this complex time capsule of 2000core culture.

TalKing of the Hill - "Three Days of the Kahndo" [Patreon: 3/25/22]

For the first time King of the Hill takes the Texans south of the border for a vacation in Mexico. Learn all about fake pears, turtle makeup, and swimming the Rio Grande in this ep about Hank and Kahn having a difficult trip across the border.

An Extended Free Preview of What A Cartoon Movie for Pinocchio (1940) [Patreon: 3/28/22 - Free Feed: 4/4/22]

We have yet to cover a golden age era Disney cartoon for our podcast, but that all changes with this little wooden boy. Yes, as chosen by our patrons we're covering Pinocchio in a tale that actually does come with some strings attached. Is an actor's life the way to go? How do you deal with turning into a jackass? And how best can you escape from the belly of whale? Learn all that and more with our podcast about the film that brought then-new theatrical animation to even greater heights!

The entire film is on Disney Plus.

And remember: $5 patrons and folks on the free feed will hear an extended preview of the podcast, but if you want the whole thing (and access to all other episodes of What A Cartoon Movie) you'll have to bump your subscription up to the $10 level.

We look forward to sharing all these with you soon, and here's to a happy springtime!
