What A Cartoon! - The December 2019 Schedule

It's the holiday season with the whoop-de-do and hickory dock, so it's time for a punch of Talking Simpsons Network podcasts to keep you warm! Yes, as 2019 comes to a close, we have a ton of great stuff coming your way on the podcast What A Cartoon! If you want to prepare, we've got a list of holiday favorites, mid-'00s anime, and a couple of Cartoon Network originals!

And remember, if you're a Patreon subscriber at the $5 and up level, each of these podcasts come to you a week ahead of time and ad-free! Not to mention you get access to our massive collection exclusive miniseries (like our currently unraveling Talking Futurama Season 2)!! And at the $10 level, Patreon subscribers also get to listen to What A Cartoon Movie!, our monthly podcast about classic animated feature films!!

Now, let's make room for old St. Nick, as we list December's What A Cartoon! subjects:

Mickey Mouse - "Duck The Halls" [Patreon Date: 12/2/19 - Free Feed Date 12/9/19]

Mickey Mouse has been around for almost a century, and thanks to Paul Rudish's reimaging of him, Mickey has never been more modern. We'll not only be covering the new run of Mickey Mouse shorts, but we'll be specifically going into the 2016 holiday special that's all about the spirit of the season while also slowly dying. Give it a watch and then listen along to get into the Christmas Spirit just like Donald does.

This holiday special Duck The Halls can be watched free and legal at Disney Now.

A Charlie Brown Christmas [Patreon Date: 12/9/19 - Free Feed Date 12/16/19]

As loveable as a dying Christmas tree, we head back to the world of Charles Schultz for the holiday season. As Charlie Brown is full of seasonal depression, he thinks he'll find purpose in a Christmas play but he's still searching for meaning. Listen along as we try to learn what Christmas is all about.

A Charlie Brown Christmas can be found for purchase on sites like Amazon (or in some other places that are just a Google away).

Craig of the Creek - "Under The Overpass" [Patreon Date: 12/16/19 - Free Feed Date 12/23/19]

Created by a couple of Steven Universe veterans, Craig of the Creek is one of Cartoon Network's best current shows, one full of humor, feelings, and nostalgia for your childhood. We'll be chatting with some special guests as we cover the show's creation as well as one of the show's pivotal episodes from season one, Under The Overpass!

All episodes of Craig of the Creek can be found on the Cartoon Network site.

OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes - "Thank You For Watching The Show" [Patreon Date: 12/23/19 - Free Feed Date 12/30/19]

We've covered the series before, but after the recent excellent final season, we've got a great reason to return to OK K.O. one more time. And as we do a post-mortem on the series and the show's last episode, you better believe we have great special guests lined up for the discussion. So get ready for our tribute to this lovely series!

The final episode of OK K.O. can be found on sites like Amazon. 

Mushi-Shi - "The Green Seat" [Patreon Date: 12/30/19 - Free Feed Date 1/6/20]

And we're finishing out 2019 with a modern anime series that's relatively new to us. We follow the mystical investigations of a man named Ginko into a world of primitive spirits known as mushi. We'll all learn together as discuss this 2005 series by Artland with a special guest!

The 1st season of Mushi-Shi is currently available in the US free and legally on YouTube.

We're closing out 2019 with a bang, so stay tuned for all these podcasts! And don't forget that December will also feature more Talking Futurama episodes for our $5 and up subscribers, not to mention a new What A Cartoon Movie! for $10+ patrons. Happy holidays!
