What A Cartoon! - The October 2020 Schedule

2020 shows no signs of stopping, and that goes double for The Talking Simpsons Network! In addition to us heading towards some pivotal season 11 episodes of The Simpsons, the What A Cartoon! podcast will be doing October right with a trio of horror-themed subjects, in addition to a special anniversary celebration. Yes, we'll have two doses of Scooby, a scary return to Aqua Teen, and a trip back... to the future! It's a fun month coming your way in the time of tricks and treats!

And if you're not YET a Patreon subscriber, signing up at the $5 level will get you each of those podcast episodes a week ahead of time and ad-free, along with our collection of exclusive miniseries. And that's extra exciting because on October 30 we're launching the next exclusive miniseries, Talking Futurama Season 2 Part 2! And you'll get access to over 100 other bonus podcasts on top of that!

Now, here's all we have on deck for October:

Back to the Future The Animated Series - "Brothers" [Patreon: 10/5/20 - Free Feed: 10/12/20]

This year marks the 35th anniversary of Back to the Future, so we welcome back our old pal Dave Rudden to return to this less-remembered Saturday morning adaptation. Made with an impressive amount of engagement from BTTF creators, the show is better than it needed to be, and we gotta get back in time to discuss the show's debut episode!

BTTF Animated isn't officially streaming anywhere in the USA, but the official DVDs are still pretty affordable.

Aqua Teen Hunger Force - "The Shaving" [Patreon: 10/12/20 - Free Feed: 10/19/20]

Each month on What A Cartoon! we like to return to a previous series we covered, and that's what we're doing with the Halloween episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force! It's time for The Shaving, as we discuss the dangers of painting yourself purple and the differences between scaring someone and trying to kill them.

All of Aqua Teen Hunger Force is on HBO Max.

Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! - "Jeepers It's The Creeper!" [Patreon: 10/19/20 - Free Feed: 10/26/20]

This Halloween month we're finally covering a series that's long overdue for What A Cartoon! Scooby-Doo and the original series starring those meddling kids! We welcome on a new guest to help us explore the creation of Hanna-Barbera's most famous character as well as the iconic 1970 episode that introduced us all to The Creeper! (Find out who they really are on the podcast!)

The original Scooby-Doo series is all on HBO Max.

An Extended Preview of What A Cartoon Movie! for Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island [Patreon: 10/26/20 - Free Feed: 11/2/20]

But that's just the start of Scooby-Doo for us this month, as we leap from the original series to the 1998 direct-to-video film that relaunched the series! Chosen by our patrons, this is when things finally got real for Mystery Inc. Learn how Scoob and the gang were modernized, the interesting anime connections, and just what flaming hot chili peppers have to do with zombies!

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 all other episodes of What A Cartoon Movie) you'll have to bump your subscription up to the $10 level.

Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island is available on Netflix, Boomerang and VRV, as well as a rental on Prime Video.

So there you go, tons of thrills and chills as Fall 2020 truly begins! Hear them all early by subscribing, and don't forget that Futurama Season 2 Part 2 will begin exclusively on Patreon on October 30!
