In this episode, Jonathan discusses 1977’s I Am the Greatest: The Adventures of Muhammad Ali, Mr. T (1983-1986), and Pro Stars (1991). What is it about the athlete that makes us want to see him in a cartoon environment? Why do we so readily make nonsensical cartoon spinoffs of beloved television characters? These answers and more on today’s new episode. Then be sure to stop back two weeks from now on Thursday  May 3rd, 2018 to listen to our next full length episode.
