Hello all you lovely people out there in Internet land! Welcome to Animateys, a podcast hosted by two people (friends) who insist on taking beloved childhood cartoons and mercilessly evaluating them (i.e. over-complicating them)! As the name implies, our primary interest is in cartoons and animation, particularly those on networks like Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon, the likes of which we both watched as kids. We re-watch a new cartoon each episode and discuss them in a laid-back style podcast with semi-regular episodes. In addition to general reviews and basic information about each show we watch we each bring a specific perspective to bear on the podcast. Paige focuses more on political and economic content and implications of each cartoon while Chris focuses his psychological knowledge to understand the implications of each cartoon, although we often cover both areas together. Tangents, jokes and puns, social commentary, popular culture, philosophy discussions of storytelling, and emotional rantings are also included! Oh, and Steven Universe. We invariably talk about Steven Universe almost every show (we just can't help it!)

We hope you enjoy what we put together for you and encourage you to follow us, comment, or join in on the discussion, and hopefully, to go back and re-watch some of these shows as well!

Episode Schedule: We try to put out an episode at the very least once a month, but our ideal schedule has episodes occurring bi-monthly. When we require 2 podcast episodes for one show, we often put out the 2nd episode one week from the date we record for the 1st episode. As you might expect, this means we are a bit sporadic in when we post, so just follow us to keep up to date. Episodes run from 45 minutes to 1 hour and 20 minutes, with 1 hour being our ideal length.

Episode 64: Home Movies

Episode 64: Home Movies

2025-06-2601:19:01

Continuing into our sporadic dive into adult animation, we talk about an often forgotten gem of a Pre-9/11 world in the form of Home Movies. This episode also marks the beginning of discussions on people like Loren Bouchard of Bob's Burgers fame, voice actor greats like H. Jon Benjamin, and further elaboration on the beautiful mess that is Adult Swim. We hope you enjoy!
After our winter hibernation, we arise to... yell about streamers? In this return episode, we discuss Cartoon Hangover's Bravest Warriors (created by Pendleton Ward) with a longer intro discussing adult animation and the relationship animation has to streamers and the internet. We hope you enjoy!
Hello all and welcome to season SIX of the Animateys podcast! We're calling this season "How To Adult - An Unadulterated View Of Adults Adulting While Viewing Adult Animation" or "Adult Animation" for a TLDR. Our show of choice is a nice, soft start with Bee and Puppycat, a show with a cult following and a nice connection to our other Pendalton Ward lineage classics like Adventure Time.
Episode 61: All Grown Up

Episode 61: All Grown Up

2024-10-0801:20:38

Growing up is hard. Making a show about the Rugrats growing up compelling appears to have been even harder. On this Season Finale episode of Animateys, we dig in to discover that some things really do change, and not always for the better, when you're All Grown Up.
Episode 60: Rocket Power

Episode 60: Rocket Power

2024-08-1801:36:18

BUSTED! We're back from summer break with a very summer show: Rocket Power! Put on your pads, get out your tiny shirts, big pants, crimped hair and a massive sense of abandon as we time travel back to the late 90's and its signature style.
In an Animateys first, we sit down for the 2nd time to discuss a show that, on first pass almost got a shallow treatment from us, but on second pass was so much more than we remembered. As Told By Ginger will certainly be a different take on the shows we tend to see from Nickelodeon. Note, this episode is longer than our typical ones.
Animateys is on the trail of the illusive "Wild Thornberry" species. We have a smashing episode for you. For example, did you know that the adult caretakers of the Thornberry species almost entirely ignore their young? Or that they adopt all sorts of outsiders with no consideration of the consequences? Learn this and more on today's episode. Blalarahahgh!
Operation A.N.I.M.A.T.E.Y.S.: Animation Nerds Intermittently Muse About Toons Excitedly Yet Sensually. This time we discuss Codename: Kids Next Door. However, do be warned, like any good spy movie or show, we take many twists and turns away from the show to discuss other clandestine topics.
Episode 56: Kim Possible

Episode 56: Kim Possible

2024-01-3001:21:46

Call us, beep us, if you wanna reach us! We're back with Kim Possible, an early 2000's romp that asks the question: What if the average high school girl was anything but average?
Episode 55: Danny Phantom

Episode 55: Danny Phantom

2023-11-0501:15:12

We're going ghost this time on Animateys as we discuss Danny Phantom just in time for the spooky season (at least when we recorded!). Enjoy a ghostly romp around Amity Park as we discuss this gem of the mid 00's.
Sassy! This time, we dig into a weirdly popular cartoon cartoon from the late 90's - Johnny Bravo. He's an Elvis - James Dean milkshake that just doesn't quite taste right in this, the year of our Lord 2023. So join us as we dish about this one.
The good folks on our Patreon continue to support us and we in turn want to bring you our next Extra episode! Our listeners will receive this 2 weeks earlier if they're patreon subscribers. Consider supporting us! Princess Mononoke is perhaps one of Miyazaki's greatest films, and we discuss it as adults, even though some of us will have seen it as children. It holds up and is still just as beautiful and insightful as ever!
Episode 53: Samurai Jack

Episode 53: Samurai Jack

2023-08-1301:25:42

Gotta get back, back to podcasts! Paige and Chris return after our unscheduled break to deliver some contemplative sword-swinging commentary about this absolute early 00's masterpiece that answers the question, "How do we show gratuitous violence but get around the censors?! ROBOTS!"
Odd-podcast, fairly odd podcast! We wish that you'll have a great time listening to this new episode of Animateys where we cover the wonderful Fairly OddParents. Just be careful what you wish for...
Back on track this week with Rocko's Modern Life! We take a loot at this Gen-X gem and discuss how it really, really doesn't seem like Rocko's was made for children.
F is for friends who podcast together, U is for you and me, N is for any anywhere and anytime at all down here in the deep blue sea! Spongebob changed television, and we're here to find out just how this go-lucky sponge hits as an adult.

🎵Have you heard, there's a new episode of Animateys! Have you heard it's an EXTRA EPISOOOOODE!🎵 That's right, today we're talking about the cult classic, Anastasia. Once upon an October, we sit down to go over the beautiful mess that is one of our movies of all time. We hope you enjoy.
Episode 48: Infinity Train

Episode 48: Infinity Train

2022-08-1801:16:56

This week we dig into the show Infinity Train. Please seat yourselves "conduct" a thorough review of this more contemporary show on childhood trauma, in a show that is increasingly bold to the point that we go "Is this really a children's show anymore?"
We've got an extra special episode, out early, for our supporters! We take on Disney's classic - The Hunchback of Notre Dame. How did this happen? Is this movie really for children?
