• Season 5 (2008) Retrospective | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive

  Season 5 of ATHF is a contentious one. Either you love it or you hate it. Or maybe you think it's okay. Or you just, like, sorta like it. Look, I don't know your life story -- but what I DO know is Season 5 is a hell of a lot better than I was expecting it to be. While the season got my panties in a bunch back in 2008, it put a big ol' smile on my face while covering it for the podcast. And also I don't wear panties anymore. Commando, baby! Today we're talking about the season as a whole & spending some time dwelling on what it brought to the world of Aqua Teen. I'll also tell you my favorite episodes & villains from the season, because that's certainly something that you ever wanted to know and will help your life even one bit. We're also looking at the year the season was birthed out during - 2008 - figuring out what the heck happened back then. Believe it or not, nobody actually knows except for me, because I was there, man. From my hot movie takes that will most definitely get me at least one hate mail (I'm sort of like a modern day Joker, maybe. Probably not. I'm more of an Alfred type.), to the tunes of the time (and how Chris Martin ruled the world), to the video games (you ever heard of a Wii?)-- this podcast episode has it all! Well, if "it all" means these very specific things that I'm talking about on the podcast.   Music Played: ♫ Coldplay - Viva La Vida: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvgZkm1xWPE ♫ Taylor Swift - Love Story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xg3vE8Ie_E ♫ Lady Gaga - Poker Face: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bESGLojNYSo ♫ M83 - Kim & Jessie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5cgzcjqOtE ♫ Why? - Good Friday: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uRf3EMSb8oI ♫ The Radio Dept. - Closing Scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZEWpChchdo   ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon Affiliate Links • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Discord: https://discord.gg/NpjSXPECw6 Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: [email protected] YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley

• Todd Redner Interview | ATHF Character Designer (Markula, Wongburger, Love Mummy), Animator, Art Director

  From the very first ATHF intro, to the art direction on the latest season-- Todd Redner was there. Like the wind.... or God. The all knowing, all drawing Todd Redner graces the podcast to bestow upon us several ATHF tales that I had never once heard before. And that's saying something because I've heard lots of things. Todd's telling us about the many decisions that went into Aqua Teen's newest season (and the misguided hate mail it spawned), how characters like the Love Mummy and Wongburger were designed, and how 12 Oz Mouse got Radical Axis spammed with art of questionable quality. Other topics discussed include Jon Bon Jovi flying around an auditorium, catching gigantic fish, David Cross putting his hairy chest in Todd's face, The Office, and Todd being invited back to his college job to sign autographs.   • Todd on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/toddredart/ • Todd's Website: https://toddredner.com/   • Meat Kingdom with Todd Redner and Dana Snyder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmLU5GyNF_o • Watch Yenor FREE: https://www.adultswim.com/videos/specials/yenor-pilot • Watch Stomp!

• David Cross Interview | Voice of Happy Time Harry and Bert Banana

  Not only did David Cross teach me it was okay to be named Ronnie, but he put Aqua Teen Hunger Force on the map. Big time. Fresh off his successful stint on Broadway (yes-- THAT Broadway), David takes the next logical step in his career and spends some time on a podcast about a cartoon he was on a few times. I don't know why he did, I advised him not to do it. Touching briefly on his time on Aqua Teen, David gives us the down low on having two versions of his standup sets, the origin of his nom de plume Sir Willups Brightslymoore, and his love for insane Hallmark movies.   References: • David's new special WORST DADDY IN THE WORLD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fnw65BBrlY4 • David on VH1 Goes Inside Adult Swim (2003): https://youtu.be/rTC-pDN3Rn0?t=795 • David and Bob Odenkirk on Space Ghost Coast to Coast: https://www.adultswim.com/videos/space-ghost-coast-to-coast/gallagher • Love, Lights, Hanukkah Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBY_DSb-FJk • Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Wild God: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAgsn7la3jg • The Dark Divide: https://tubitv.com/movies/599303/the-dark-divide     ★ Support The Show + Get Extra Episodes • Patreon: patreon.com/dancingisforbidden   ★ Amazon Affiliate Links • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm 4K: https://amzn.to/3Svy2ea • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm BluRay: https://amzn.to/3dLcKKS • Aqua Teen Forever Plantasm Digital: https://amzn.to/3t8cqtv • Baffler Meal 20 Disc DVD Box Set: https://amzn.to/3fmznWf   Contacts:  Leave a voice message: speakpipe.com/dancingisforbidden Discord: https://discord.gg/NpjSXPECw6 Instagram: @AquaTeenPod Email: [email protected] YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9yseLj27npIZlEnM8ooBaQ Listen on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe5gFb5eAYH3nyF3DZ5jwhQ Website: dancingisforbidden.com Twitch: twitch.tv/ronnieneeley
