SHOW NOTES:
SHOW NOTES:
- Jake is in unceded Pomo territory while recording the episode.
- Sitcoms are comedies where the characters carry over from episode to episode but are put in different situations like "Jack makes a date with two girls for the same night" type shit. We talk about a lot of sitcoms including The Golden Palace, All In the Family, Maude, Seinfeld, Empty Nest, Benson, The Facts of Life, Frasier, Married With Children and Designing Women (sadly there will be NO reboot).
- Adrienne Barbeau has come up a couple times in the history of Every Damn Thing already. She played Bea Arthur's daughter on Maude and was the voice of Catwoman on Batman: The Animated Series. Also she was in Swamp Thing, and Escape from New York. She often has a look on her face like she's smelling something foul.
- Mama’s Family was a spinoff of some recurring sketches on the The Carol Burnett Show. Phil only ever saw this on TV as a kid when he was waiting for something else to start. The cheapness of the sets & production really stood out to him.
- Here’s the pic of Bea Arthur in a sexy feather boa that we promised.
- We get a bit sidetracked with Fatty Arbuckle. The book Phil mentioned about him was I, Fatty by Jerry Stahl who also wrote Permanent Midnight which is in part about being a junkie while being a writer on the sitcom Alf.
- Here’s Buster Keaton looking all sexy.
- Hentai is, generally speaking, pornographic anime.
- Pokemon is maybe the most popular anime there is in the US. Phil's kid loves it.
- Kiki’s Delivery Service is a fantastic movie about a young witch trying to make her way in life. The voice of the cat in the English dub of it is Phil Hartmann's last role.
- The Little Mermaid is a Disney movie that's very short and came out the same year as Kiki's Delivery Service and really suffers in comparison.
- Other anime discussed include Sailor Moon, Ninja Scroll, My Neighbor Totoro and Princess Mononoke.
- Hanna-Barbera is the animation studio that created Scooby-Doo and many other cartoons, now owned by Warner Brothers. Their work in the 60s and 70s was usually pretty dull. It seemed like it was made by people who had contempt for their audience and maybe themselves.
- Here’s the Kewpie ad mentioned by Jason.
- Hatsune Miku, Jake's one-time employer, is a Vocaloid software voicebank developed by Crypton Future Media, represented by a hologram of a 16-year-old girl with long, turquoise twintails.
- Jessica Rabbit is getting a Disneyland makeover.
- Song of the South is buried deep in the Disney vault and it's impossible to imagine Disney ever releasing it, but here’s a podcast detailing it’s sordid past.
