Swat Kats: The Radical Squadron Retrospective

Get to the chopp- I mean, Turbokat! Dark Kat and his goons are afoot in Megakat city! Swat Kats is an action cartoon every sugar-induced, overstimulated kid could ever want: It's got weapons, vehicles, and villains aplenty, with a plethora of feline-based merchandise to-boot. But despite how thrilling Hanna-Barbera's first foray into edgy 90s animation is, it's rise to success was gunned down before it had a chance to obtain glory. Today, BDubs blasts his way past The Enforcers HQ and into the junkyard vault where T-Bone, Razor, and their feline allies reveal a deeper look at their arsenal in this special retrospective, covering its origins, rise to popularity, tragic pre-mature cancellation, and its rise from the ashes in late 2025 thanks to its die-hard fanbase. Buckle up for one furr-tastic ride.

Dee Dee sure does, but for Dexter it's one hard sell, so much so that he must go to extreme scientific lengths to find out for himself whether or not Santa is truly a man or a myth. Join BDubs by the Christmas tree and fireplace as he recollects one of the most infamous Cartoon Network holiday specials to ever emerge from the checkered channel. Has Dexter been naughty or nice? That's what we'll find out together in this episode review, along with trivia, observations, why specials like this matter, and more.

Favorite Johnny Bravo Episodes

Who's that studly man in the mirror? No, it's not BDubs; It's Johnny Bravo, a man who will not give up on pursing women until one likes him back. He either must be clueless or is immune to rejection of the harshest kind. Today, BDubs visits Johnny's home in Aron City to kick back and revisit some of his favorite Johnny Bravo episodes from the series (mostly from Season 1). Which ones resonate the most in his memories for better or for worse? That's what we'll explore today through his picks, along with some honorable and dishonorable mentions. It's enough to make Johnny's celebrity buddy Adam West burst through a shirt, so hold tight.

Toonami: The Moltar Years (1997-1999)

Toonami is a cornerstone in Cartoon Network history proving that overseas animation can not only survive on the checkered channel but thrive too. Before T.O.M. and all of his various upgrades and iterations, there was one man who ruled the airwaves, and his name was Moltar. Join BDubs at Ghost Planet Industries as he looks through the archives to better understand the first three years of Toonami, how it formed, and why it grabbed the attention of young Cartoon Network fans everywhere in the mid-late nineties. Plus, he'll mention a few Toonami artifacts and his memories of tuning in to the cutting edge programming block and how it shaped his perception of cartoons today.
