Girl, that's a bootyhole!

May 20, 2022 in LGBTQIA+, Film & TV, Comedy, podcast, Retro

Ash and Ant take a trip back to the TV on wheels that teachers would roll in on rainy days for The Magic School Bus (1994-97), S1E2. How creepy is Miss Frizzle? How upsetting would it be to explore a classmate's large intestine? How does watching Aliens as a young child affect the rest of your life? All that and more on the late,  but still great, Old and Dusty. See below for memes and footnotes.

Tattler the Animated Series

May 03, 2022 in LGBTQIA+, Film & TV, Comedy, podcast, Retro

Ant and Ash gallantly gab about Gargoyles (1994-97) S1E6, gullibility, learning to shrink great contributions, and how an adult believing in unicorns is actually *not* that ridiculous given what a wild world we live in. Please note that Old and Dusty will now be released every two weeks. Per usual, see below for memes and footnotes.
