Party All The Time | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive
Monday Dec 04, 2023
Monday Dec 04, 2023
It's time to party party party while we talk about Aqua Teen's most depressing episode! Our heartstrings are thoroughly shredded while Frylock and co grapple with his newfound illness... yeah Shake dies like three times in the episode but that's besides the point. We're getting into Dave Willis' biggest regret on this episode, behind the scenes info on Matt Maiellaro's live action performance, going over Aqua Teen's rich history with bee attacks, and so much more! Other topics discussed include the new Aqua Teen Pop-tarts commercial, the cultural sensation of Borat (very nice!), and grappling with a band you like hitting the ultra mainstream while in middle school.

Handbanana’s Demise | AquaDonk Side Pieces Deep Dive
Monday Nov 13, 2023
Monday Nov 13, 2023
Everything is not as it seems in this Aqua Donk... except for what Handbanana does to Carl, that is very real. Carl takes 16 years to refine his plan of attack while also successfully pulling off the acting role of a life time. We don't often see Carl win, but when he does, you'll be screaming for vengeance!

Tonight, you... will learn all about Handbanana in this week's podcast! Or whenever you get around to listening to this, it doesn't really have to tonight I guess... Anyways, when you decide to listen to this (it's up to you!), you'll be stoked to know that we're joined by ATHF co-creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis, getting their takes on this iconic episode. While Handbanana is (rightfully so) a controversial episode, that doesn't stop it from being many people's favorite, including Master Shake voice actor Dana Snyder's! With an interesting mix of nihilistic horror and shock comedy, we get some great lines from Carl, Frylock voice actor Carey Means gets to show more of his range, and we actually get a competent villain for once. Other topics discussed include Scary Movie 4's insanely realistic Saw set, some hints towards the upcoming season of ATHF, and Aqua Teen's immortal feud with M*A*S*H.

Dickesode | Aqua Teen Hunger Force Deep Dive
Monday Oct 16, 2023
Monday Oct 16, 2023
Dickesode is a first for Aqua Teen in many ways, and I'm not dicking you around. The show's first episode of 2006, ATHF co-creators Matt Maiellaro and Dave Willis are back in full swing trying to give Adult Swim's Standards and Practices department a stroke. We get some help from Matt and Dave, Dickesode's editor Jay Edwards, and dick drawing connoisseur Bob Pettitt as we deep dive into this infamous episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Other topics discussed include The Killers's Sam's Town, the recently released ATHF animation project Rabbot Rebuilt, and how a kid at school thought hair grew out of the dick.

Ned Hastings Interview | ATHF Producer, Editor, Voice Actor
Sunday Oct 08, 2023
Sunday Oct 08, 2023
While Our Host Ned Hastings wasn't real in Super Trivia, he's real as hell in person. A foundational member of the Aqua Teen crew, Ned entered the Adult Swim world with Space Ghost Coast to Coast in 1999. After working on some of the show's best episodes, Ned contributed to a very early iteration of the Rabbot episode as an ATHF proof-of-concept. From there, he went on to shape the series with crucial input on Mayhem of the Mooninites, guiding the execution of the Mooninites themselves. It was on the show's seventh episode, Ol' Drippy, that Ned joined Aqua Teen full time, contributing immensely to the show ever since then. You may know that by the fact I mention him in like every episode. Ned tells us all about Aqua Teen's new process of storyboarding, his voice work throughout the series, the production process of Plantasm, and much more! Other topics discussed include which Beatle Ned is, the German belief that Salieri killed Mozart, and the shocking lack of babes at the Aqua Teen edit bay.

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.
