If you aren't hyped for Untitled Master Shake Project, then you a damn fool. Except not really cuz that's not a real movie. In Deleted Scenes, the ATHF crew re-purpose deleted scenes (and plot points) from the at-the-time unfinished Colon Movie For Theaters... except they do it in pure ATHF fashion; Shake and Meatwad don't really address the clips they are showing us, instead goofing off. Carl, however, makes Shake pay the ultimate price for deleting his scene... and sticking a broom up his butt... twice. We get all up into the different versions of this episode, the confusion it caused in 2005, and why this episode is full-circle for a lot of ATHF's production team. Other topics discussed include a weird deer game, Fall Out Boy's Sugar We're Going Down, and the Mall of America.

Where you at, dog? I'm chirping you, but I'm not getting a response... oh, you're not on Boost Mobile? Haha. Sad. Look, this podcast is gonna be distributed solely on Boost Mobile chirp. So get your your Motorola Tattoo i860, and get ready. South side, outside, West side, let's ride for a new podcast episode! This week Dave Willis gives us the REAL story behind this iconic ATHF episode, we're learning who the heck Josh is, and we're also listening to a bunch of advertisements... that last part probably not any different than listening to any non-independent podcast. The whole city is behind us as we dig into the final TV-PG ATHF episode. Other topics discussed include System of a Down's Mezmerize and Hypnotize, Animal Crossing, and having PeoplePC in 2005.

This week we're diving thru the pop culture and new Adult Swim programming of 2005! Since Season 4 of Aqua Teen mainly took place in 2006, I wanted to give some love to lil ol' 2005. For some reason the year sticks out in my mind as having been great, although I don't think it truly was. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug. Let's light up!

Dirtfoot | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Have you heard about the boy who fell down the olde abandoned well? Poor little fella was just trying to get water for the village. At least he has the olde abandoned hot tub to help pass the time. Junior correspondent Dave Willis joins us to talk about his grandmother's incredible cameo, Phil Samson gives us a rough cut of the episode to dissect, and Bob Pettitt tells us about Aqua Teen beer. All this and MORE! (I mean, you'd really hope there's more than that, considering the podcast episode is over two hours long.) Other topics discussed include Madonna staying relevant in the aughts, the state of Adult Swim's lineup in 2005, the underappreciation of the Harlem Globetrotters, and how I had to turn off Videodrome cuz I'm a sensitive man.

Markula the Slumlord | AquaDonk Side Pieces Deep Dive
Monday Aug 07, 2023
Monday Aug 07, 2023
On this episode of House Hunters Interplanetary, a couple looks to ditch the cold vacuum of space for an Earth-based HQ. Oglethorpe wants room for his breeding vats, specimen-harvesting station, and death lasers. Emory wants electricity, plumbing, and maybe a rock climbing wall. Can their real estate agent, Markula, make this turbulent couple happy while also staying under budget?

Squidbillies has often been talked about on the podcast, yet never deep-diveified... UNTIL NOW! What makes this very first episode of Squidbillies special is that Squidbillies almost never happened at all. Conceived as just a funny title and not much else, Adult Swim spent over a year trying to get Squids to work... until they nearly gave up on the idea. Dave Willis and Jim Fortier gave it one last go, eventually spawning one of Adult Swim's longest running shows. We get all into this rocky start (and near abandonment), relive some of Jay Edward's and Dave Willis's thoughts on the early days, and comb over Squidbillies S01E01 like we would our orange mullets.

I DID A VOICE ON AQUA TEEN (and I’m telling you all about it!)

Monday Jul 24, 2023
I done did a voice on the upcoming season of ATHF, and I'm telling you all about it! In early May, I received an email from Adult Swim about doing a voice line on the Season 12. Now, in celebration of the podcast's two year anniversary, I'm finally able to walk you through all the ins and outs of the incredibly exciting experience!
From the onboarding process, to my thoughts on the episode's script, to the recording process -- I fill you in on absolutely everything in this week's episode! ...at least that I remembered! ...at least that I'm allowed to tell you!

Season 3 Retrospective | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive
Monday Jul 10, 2023
Monday Jul 10, 2023
After another successful deep dive into a season of Aqua Teen, it's time to look back on 2004's pop culture, Adult Swim lineup, and Season 3 as a whole. Getting into such exciting territory as "Ronnie's Top 3 Episodes" and "Ronnie's Top 3 Villains," this is not a podcast episode for the faint of heart. We ponder on what Season 3 introduced to the world of Aqua Teen, as well as what it left in the dust. Other topics discussed include Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 vs Brotherhood, the changing tide of Adult Swim at the end of 2004, and being subconsciously inspired by Napoleon Dynamite's music.
