Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer: the fast drivin’, fast talkin’ ‘60s anime dreamboat. Racing is a sport too, jocks, even if Speed still spends most of his time karate-chopping gangsters and expressing loud gasps.

This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays:
Leave an adult tooth under your memory foam pillow for Father Themes • One of these “quirks” is not like the others • Please, ‘Mr. Racer’ was my father • Nothing good ever happens in a volcano lair • “Car Wrestling” is exactly like people wrestling, but the cars are the people wrestling

Today’s Episode Sponsor: Chump Salad™

THIS WEEK'S EPISODES

  • Speed Racer Episode 44, “Race the Laser Tank”

  • Speed Racer Episode 45, “The Great Car Wrestling Match”

March Madness Round Three - Mighty Ducks / Eyeshield 21

We had to get a sports anime in the March Madness lineup, so enjoy American Football drama Eyeshield 21, complete with guns and vampire elves. Then we hit the ice with Disney’s Mighty Ducks, which is, of course, about hockey monsters from space.

This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays:
A hockey team manager returns us to the Disney School of Contract Law • Space Hockey is like regular hockey, but you get to kill for sport • It’s extremely cathartic to see a football team relegated to “anime club” levels on the high school food chain • Austin waggles a pinkie toe into the waters of the Anime Dungeon and likes how it feels • Andy wishes he could BE anime

Today’s Episode Sponsor: Sexual Home Improvement™

THIS WEEK'S EPISODES

  • Mighty Ducks Episode 20, “Mad Quacks: Beyond Hockeydome”

  • Eyeshield 21 Episode 1, “The Man with the Lightning Legs”

Suit up for Round Two of our March Madness arc! We wistfully recall those classic sports plotlines you all know and love, like saving King Arthur from a soccer-hating witch, or having a horse show up at your apartment.

This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays:
Sport Billy would rather elevate a dog to knighthood than acknowledge a woman • Don’t bother getting excited about a juicy Sir Gawain cameo • Hulksters and horses don’t mix • Junkyard Fries are a treat to be savored • Andre the Giant is serious about oral hygiene

Today’s Episode Sponsor: Captain Sully Simulator™

THIS WEEK'S EPISODES

  • Sport Billy Episode 1, “Joust in Time”

  • Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Episode 2, “The Four-Legged Pickpocket”

March Madness Round One - ProStars (w/Dave Rappoccio)

When it’s March Madness season, there’s only one course of action: vaguely sports-adjacent cartoons! To kick off Round One, we’ve enlisted sports cartoonist Dave “Highway Baby“ Rappoccio for an expert opinion on the dunktastic voyage of 1991’s ProStars (It’s All About Helpin’ Kids).

This week on Saturday Morning Tuesdays:
Wayne Gretzky has all the personality of a walking hockey puck • A beleaguered writer’s room scrambles to make a floating basketball look like a cool weapon • Your dad left because you’re not good at sports • What is “a cartoon you wouldn’t expect to have harmful Jewish stereotypes,” Alex • Bo Jackson can grow and shrink to fill any room he occupies like a gas

Today’s Episode Sponsor: The Tennessee Turtle™

THIS WEEK'S EPISODES

  • ProStars Episode 1, “The Slugger Returns”

  • ProStars Episode 2, “Short John’s Revenge”
