It’s February, so that means it’s time for the AIPT Movies podcast’s “Shredruary” series! Where we cover movies that revolve around music or musicians! In this week’s episode, Alex, Tim, and Matt discuss 2001’s satirical musical comedy, Josie and the Pussycats!

Endless product placement! A classic and catchy soundtrack that features Letters to Cleo’s Kay Hanley and (we think) Matthew Sweet! A consistently funny movie that effortlessly bounces between witty, subversive moments and silly, slapstick comedy! Fun, creative direction from Can’t Hardly Wait’s Deborah Kaplan and Harry Elfont! A perfect cast that includes Rachael Leigh Cook, Rosario Dawson, Tara Reid, Parker Posey, Alan Cumming, Missi Pyle, possibly the greatest boy band of all time, Dujour, and the vocal talents of Mr. Moviefone! A misunderstood, ahead of its time gem - with a sweet message about being true to yourself and not getting caught in the cogs of consumerism - that has found the cult following it deserves despite its disappointing box office!

In addition, Tim shares his spoiler-free thoughts on 1988’s Alien Nation and the Oscar-winning cinematographer of Cool as Ice, while Alex talks about Shin Ultraman, Knight and Day, The Beekeeper, and Sniper G.R.I.T.!

You can find AIPT Movies on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. As always, if you enjoy the podcast, be sure to leave us a positive rating, subscribe to the show, and tell your friends!

🎄It’s 1980, and my spoiled nephew just got beaten in a ski-jumping contest by a bear who’s never seen winter before.  

Join us we fail upward through middle to upper hotel management featuring a simultaneously very mature and very immature conversation about cartoon bears discovering mistletoe. What could be the Jellystone Winter Lodge’s final Christmas carnival manages to wake up Yogi Bear, who hibernates directly underneath it but somehow never knew about it before now.

1. This special opens with a typo: The sign reads “Yellystone Park.”

3. Hanna-Barbera’s Christmas Sing-A-Long album, featuring songs from this special.  

4. Yogi was in “Casper’s First Christmas” in 1979, so this isn’t really Yogi’s First Christmas.

6. The Wonkamobile.  

7. ClickHole: “Which One of My Garbage Sons Are You?” Clickhole, 2014.

You've seen the meme "Every so often a blue dog comes to guide the generations," right? Most folks today can speak to Bluey and Blue's Clues, but what of animation's OG cyan canine, Huckleberry Hound? This gentle, optimistic fellow broke Hanna Barbera's TV animation company to the big time, setting the stage for Yogi Bear, the Flintstones, Top Cat, Scooby Doo and everything else that followed. He's near and dear to James' heart, so join him, Pemmy and Krissi as they give the dog his due.

Due to listener requests, the Cartoonerific! Host, Brian Mitchell gets Interviewed about his young life, animation career (Bluth, Warner Bros, Bakshi, Universal Studios) working on the original Tiny Toon Adventures, Animaniacs, Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures, The Spooktacular Adventures Of Casper and many others. 
Marjorie Stewart takes over as the host for these episodes.  Part two next week!

Puppy Power Goes Wrong! Or rather, it first goes right then goes wrong? Or goes right in all the wrong ways? The legacy of Scrappy-Doo, one of the most maligned characters Hanna-Barbera ever created, isn't as simple as some make it out to be, and Pemmy, James and Krissi sit down to hash out what happened, when and why, while looking at three cartoons featuring the pup. It's a tale of network executives meddling, writers reaching and Fred Flintstone's catchphrase being turned into yet another dog. Enjoy!

Video game mania erupted in the early 1980s with the arrival of Namco's revolutionary maze-chase game, so leave it to Hanna-Barbera to turn the property into a dollar store diet cola version of both the Smurfs and the Flintstones. That's just the kind of rut HB was in during the 1980s, sadly, but it's not a complete loss thanks to the efforts of a stellar voice cast. Friend of the podcast and all-around Pac-Man expert Cary Woodham joins Pemmy and James to find the cure for Pac-Man Fever.

50 Episodes?? YABBA-DABBA-DOO!!! As massive Hanna Barbera nuts, Pemmy and James couldn't think of a better show to watch for this little milestone than their most successful foray into prime time television. The Flintstones ran a solid six seasons with the brilliant voice acting of Alan Reed, Jean Vander Pyl, Bea Benaderet and Mel Blanc at the helm, cementing Hanna Barbera as a force in entertainment for decades to come. What else but a caveman with mood swings could sell children candy-flavored vitamins, after all?

Thank you, one and all, for sticking with us, and here's to the next 50 episodes!

Underwater adventures! A teenage rock band! Exotic monsters! And best of all, a talking shark! How could Jabberjaw possibly be bad?! Well, there was the fact that the writers at Hanna Barbera have been going to the same "teenage mystery/adventure" well for seven years now and it was starting to dry up. Despite this, Jabberjaw remains one of the company's more memorable characters, and this week we explore the ocean depths of his unintentionally humble start. Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk-nyuk...

In Part Two of our interview with Animation Legend Bob Singer, Host Brian Mitchell talks with Bob about Scooby Doo, The Smurfs!, Space Ghost, Tom and Jerry and about the Hanna Barbera Art Program creating limited editions for the Warner Bros. Stores.  
Next week! More great interviews on The Cartoonerific Podcast!

Room-a-zoom-zoom! The Josie variation of the Scooby Doo mold is put into action on the race track as Speed Buggy adds elements of Speed Racer and the Love Bug into the mix. Is Tinker the most unlikely mechanical genius out there? Is Debbie the most underrated female character in Hanna Barbera's library? Can James withstand the sheer number of times relationships of space and volume are plain old ignored?! Join us and find out!

From her roots as Dan DeCarlo's creation named after his wife, Josie McCoy's eight year journey from comic books to cartoons took some interesting turns before she and the Pussycats even hit the airwaves. Once they did, their show was somehow more than the sum of its parts, and sits alongside the likes of Top Cat and Wacky Races as one of Hanna Barbera's best single season efforts. So come on and watch the good guys win!

When Fred Silverman wanted more Scooby, he sure got it! These hour length episodes cemented the great dane and the Mystery Inc crew in the pop culture firmament by pairing them with the likes of Batman, the Three Stooges, Sonny and Cher and many more. Since Halloween is coming up, though, Pemmy and James thought it most appropriate to revisit their episode with the Addams Family, which coincidentally is the only episode not available on current home media. All this, and James' most shameful secret! ... not really.
