What A Cartoon! - Megas XLR "Test Drive" With Matthew Jay
🕑 Added 2019-07-29 04:00:00 +0000 UTCWe welcome back Matthew Jay (The Deep End, Cartoons 101) for a millennial classic that's a tribute to anime, robots, video games, wrestling, comic books, and all the other pop culture we love! Yes, we head to New Jersey in 2004 for the lost Toonami series Megas XLR! We go deep in how the series came to be, its many inspirations, and the complex tax reason it may never get a second chance. Plus we dig into the show's pilot, so rev up your robot and listen now!

I know this is late, but this is my favorite TV show of all time, and I wanted to clarify some things: 1. The setting isn't some random suburb, it's Jersey City, right across the Hudson from New York City. They even make fun of neighboring Hoboken. 2. The government isn't keeping tabs on Megas. In fact, the world doesn't care that there's an 80 foot tall blue robot walking around and smashing things, especially since everything resets the next episode.

I just listened to Reel Big Fish for the first time since I was 15 and all the big brass reminds me of the soundtrack of when they go to hell in Bugs Bunny cartoons or that Chips Ahoy commercial from the 90s mixed with a bunch of random Family Guy-style references.
