Cartoons from Warner Bros. in the 90s were a little looney, totally insane-ey, and a chance for the creative forces behind them to Freak Out! Guest comedian/filmmaker Tarik Davis (www.tarikrdavis.com) and I are joined by special guest Paul Rugg, credited writer on 76 episodes of Animaniacs, 24 of Freakazoid, and the voices of numerous characters on both shows including Freakazoid himself, for an incredible behind-the-curtain look at the ecosystem of cartoon-making at the WB when it produced some of the most memorable, daring, and flat-out hilarious animation ever.

For our 200th podcast, we're covering "The Simpsons", a superlative satirical juggernaut that, for over 35 years, has held a yellow mirror up to our absurd world. Filled with endlessly quotable moments, pitch-perfect vocal performances, and expertly incisive comedy, Matt Groening's brainchild may arguably be the single greatest television show ever made, and easily one of the most important artistic works of all time. We're joined by four cromulent guests, improviser Dan Oster (MadTV, "A Podcast, But Evil"), comedian / musician Dylan Ris (www.lostmoonradio.com, www.themoonunits.com), comedian Rich Baker, and singer Sophie Gonzalez (also www.themoonunits.com). We are now truly all old men yelling at clouds.
