After a month full of travel and illness, we've got a ton to discuss on our regularly scheduled community podcast. We talk about Simpsons news including new shorts and eyewitness accounts of the D23 panel. Then we go over everything we've been through in the last month, followed by us responding to some of our fave Patreon comments that may or may not be about nachos. So listen now or we'll send for Horst!

The more things change, the more Beavis and Butt-Head stay the same. And that's the very premise of Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe; despite being sucked (huh-huh, you said "sucked") into 2022, the small brains of the famously dumb duo are forever trapped in 1995. But if you've been a fan of Mike Judge's rudest cartoon over the past 30 years, you wouldn't have it any other way. This month on What A Cartoon Movie, listen in as we explore the highly successful Paramount+ reboot movie desig...

And just how interesting are the main characters when they are barely in the film? All that and more covered in this giant eagle...
