Bob Clampett Started It, Someone Else Finished It 10.08.2026 1ó 13pAs a companion piece to our Bugs Bunny Superstar episode, Marc and Jordan cover three shorts that Bob Clampett is, technically, credited on...that have some dubious production histories. 'Birth of a Notion' was started by Bob, and expertly finished by Robert McKimson's unit. 'Bacall to Arms' was started by Bob, and was given to Arthur Davis's unit without a clear gameplan. And 'Porky's Badtime Story' was started by Ub Iwerks, and given to Bob and Chuck Jones, without warning, to finish it. There's some very good stuff in here, but while some ideas feel seamless, other feel completely incongruent.

Sylvester the Cat Has a Really Rough Time 20.07.2026 1ó 4pIn this very special episode of That's Not Quite All Folks, Jordan and Marc cover three classic shorts where Sylvester the Cat goes through unspeakable pain, to our delight, of course. First, the Sylvester-Elmer short 'Kit for Cat', then a surprise triumph with Hippety Hopper called 'Lighthouse Mouse', ending with an all-time classic, 'Canned Feud'.

Bugs Bunny Loves His Country 06.07.2026 1ó 3pJoin us riiiight after July 4th and celebrate America's 250th, where we cover Bugs Bunny: American Patriot! Elmer Fudd tries to find gold for the war effort with a Clampett Bugs out to annoy him in 'The Wacky Wabbit. ' Bugs teaches American history to Clyde Bunny (who?) in the painfully unfunny 'Yankee Doodle Bugs,' And we conclude with Bugs going to WAR...in the 1950's (hooray, no propaganda!) with 'Forward March Hare'Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

This is Not My Beautiful Wife [or Do It For Uncle Judd] 22.06.2026 1ó 12pMarc and Jordan take a look at three shorts featuring flagship Looney Tunes characters being handed a love interest. Two of these have the same essential concept, with 1962's Honey's Money being a soft remake of Friz Freleng's own His Bitter Half from 1950, replacing Daffy Duck with Yosemite Sam. Then there is Rabbit Romeo, genuinely one of the strangest Bugs Bunny shorts we've ever encountered, which raises genuine concerns about Elmer Fudd's interests.

Termite Terrace Presents Summer Reading (Oh No!) 08.06.2026 58pJoin us as we take a look at a former touchstone of Looney animation that stayed in the late 30's/early 40's with books that come to life! It's Frank Tashlin's world for two of these with 'You're An Education' and 'Have You Got Any Castles?' and we look at a Clampett effort with the precursor of Book Revue with 'A Coy Decoy.'Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

The Day the Earth Blew Up, and How It Saved the Looney Tunes 18.05.2026 2ó 36pIn an episode recorded in person, in the same room [for the first time ever], Marc and Jordan talk about 2024's The Day the Earth Blew Up, a movie whose development and production were on display as the podcast progressed in the early 2020s, and whose release, and near lack thereof, was a heated topic as we gained more of an online presence. The film itself carries so much of the Looney energy the fans had been begging for for years, and we talk about how this film achieves that, what we love about it, and why it's important.

Daffy and Porky's Later Years 04.05.2026 1ó 3pJoin us as we prepare for our next movie episode by covering the later era of Daffy and Porky lead shorts...all directed by Robert McKimson!

Porky & Daffy's Early Years, or 12 Angry Jerrys 20.04.2026 1ó 11pIn preparation for an upcoming movie episode, Marc and Jordan look at three classic pairings of Porky and Daffy that illustrate why someone contemporarily would want to explore the dynamic further. This includes Bob Clampett's Porky and Daffy, an animation showcase with a lot of flair, 1948's Daffy Duck Slept Here, which is a variation on the similarly-beloved A Pest in the House, and 1946's Daffy Doodles, a recently-reappraised McKimson venture that runs on pure 40s wackiness. One of these left the hosts in shambles just trying to explain it. Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

Frank Tashlin Presents- Dog With Martini: Origins 06.04.2026 1ó 8pIn this episode, Marc and Jordan dive into three more Looney Tunes cartoons directed by the great Frank Tashlin, beloved for imbuing all his cartoons with wild zaniness, fluid animation, and timing like few could rival. This week's shorts include Cracked Ice, an animal revue with some surprising return appearances, Puss 'n Booty, a peculiar precursor to Sylvester and Tweety, and Brother Brat, a classic Porky cartoon with a wild ending.Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

The Case of McKimson V Termite Terrace 09.03.2026 1ó 10pJoin us as we take a look at three instances where the works of Robert McKimson seem eerily similar to cartoons we've covered on this show! Marc sees Bugs Bunny dealing with Yosemite Sam (I mean, Blackque Jacuque Shalack, but his friends call him BJ) in 'Bonanza Bunny' Jordan sees Daffy Duck take a turn at Superman (for the folks at home, this is Superman attempt number 2 of 4 for the Looney Tunes) in 'Stupor Duck And we end this episode with, what else? McKimson ripping off himself! In 'People Are Bunny'

Keep the Drums: A Second Arthur Davis Episode 23.02.2026 1ó 6pJordan and Marc dive, lovingly, into some more gems from the short-lived but mighty Arthur Davis unit, including a standard gag rollout tinged with intriguing ideas in Bone Sweet Bone, a Porky short that divided both hosts in The Pest Who Came to Dinner, and an undeniable classic in Holiday for Drumsticks. In talks of fluid animation, wild motion and surprising continuity, we wind up crafting some of the wildest bits in TNQAF history. Perhaps it's just the effect the Davis unit has on people.Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

Once Upon A Loon IV: Put Your Tiny Hand In Mine 09.02.2026 1ó 4pJoin us as we take a look at some more Looney fairy tale shorts, two of which focused on Tom Thumb! Marc sees an early Chuck Jones effort with a design that seems awfully familar in 'Tom Thumb in Trouble' Jordan covers a contemporary take on the piped piper with Porky Pig in 'Paying the Piper' And we finish with a later era Chuck Jones/John Dunn outing with the half-hearted story of 'I Was A Teenage Thumb'Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

The Doggy-Door That Robert McKimson Left Open 26.01.2026 1ó 9pAn innocuous enough theme, cartoons with dogs and cats as the subject, brought Jordan and Marc to this episode. The majority of this episode contains the sort of Looney Tunes fare one would expect from the 50s, like a wild Sylvester in peril short called A Kiddie's Kitty, and an underrated McKimson short animated by just one guy, 'Pappy's Puppy'. But the third short, McKimson's 'Mixed Master' resulted in one of the strangest and most horrifying indications that any Looney Tunes short has set forth. Jordan and Marc thought they were prepared for it, and I don't think you will be either. Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

The Iron Giant: The Movie Even Warner Bros. Couldn't Kill 29.12.2025 2ó 5pFor our 250th episode, and our most recent Looney movie episode, which has now grown to include movies made by Warner's 90s animation division, Marc and Jordan cover a classic film that may have killed the Warner animation division but influenced a generation of animators. The Iron Giant was born out of two different stories of love amidst pain, nearly became a movie musical adaptation, and was a product of sheer creativity crushed by an inability to drive in revenue. Warner Brothers saw this only as a vessel for money, and wrote it off when it failed. Little did they know that they'd completely missed the point Brad Bird was trying to make with the film. We say a lot about the Iron Giant in this episode, why it works, why it was unfairly handled by the studio, why it may be one of the greatest American films of its time, and why we won't get fooled again.Links:Support us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram

Whatever Happened to Robot Friz? 22.12.2025 1ó 5pJoin us as we lead up to our movie episode on robots by looking at shorts that have robots in them! Jordan looks at a later era Tweety effort in which Sylvester relies on a robot dog (for 20 seconds) in 'Tweet and Lovely' Marc covers Bugs Bunny dealing with a robot...that doesn't look anything like a rabbit in 'Robot Rabbit' And we conclude with a real clunker of a short with Wile Coyote in 'The Solid Tin Coyote'Links:Jonathan’s GoFundMeSupport us on PatreonFollow us on TwitterFollow us on BlueskyFollow us on Instagram
