Matt Maiellaro Interview | ATHF Co-Creator, Voice of Err and Markula
Monday Dec 12, 2022
Monday Dec 12, 2022
International cool guy Matt Maiellaro (Aqua Teen co-creator, co-writer, voice of Err/Markula/Cybernetic Ghost of Christmas Past from the Future) shreds the podcast with his amazing voice. We get into who Matt and Dave Willis initially wanted on Plantasm, the long-promised Death Fighter, Space Ghost showing up in the original Rabbot episode, and the exciting future of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Other topics discussed include Matt's time playing with blood on Hellraiser III, his upcoming film Pastacolypse, the power of Tubi, Metalocalypse, learning guitar on a crappy acoustic, and buying a $5,000 Mesa Boogie amp head and cabinet combo with your boss's credit card.

The incredible Adult Swim mashup you probably didn't know existed. On New Years Eve 2003, Adult Swim aired a "buttload" of bumps between all their new episodes that night. These bumps had the Brak family hosting a New Years Eve party, with the sexiest of Williams Street guests. We see Carl hit on Sealab 2021's Debbie, Meatwad throw up with Brak, Frylock meet an old invention, and Shake pee in a bag. This thing is criminally underrated, and I'm so glad we are able to give it the attention it deserves!

Monday Nov 21, 2022
Monday Nov 21, 2022
The always regal Dave Willis (Aqua Teen co-creator, co-writer, voice of Meatwad/Carl/Ignignokt) graces the podcast, answering all my burning questions. We dive into Plantasm inspirations, the inner-workings of AquaDonk Side Pieces, Dave's writing partners (Matt Maiellaro on ATHF / Jim Fortier on Squidbillies / Casper Kelly on Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell), and we even get Carl's thoughts on Foreigner's upcoming farewell tour. Other topics discussed include Dave's favorite Rush album, Dave's time on Celebrity Deathmatch, Tom Scharpling, and sheets of mold.

The Cloning | Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Monday Nov 14, 2022
Monday Nov 14, 2022
Money can tear people apart.... alongside defectively cloned television sets. These two evils almost cause the demise of the Aqua Teens, until they unite to face a greater evil: someone telling them what to do. In one of the most ambitious episodes of ATHF yet, we learn where new TVs keep spawning from, what Frylock does when nobody is policing him, and what Meatwad's grandmother gave him before she died. We also learn about how this episode was written! Other topics discussed include Sonic Heroes, Mitch Hedberg, and the Lost Highway soundtrack.

How big of an Aqua Teen fan are you? Are you such a big fan that you learned how to 3D model, program games, write dialog, and compose music? If you said yes, then I'm 99% sure you are this week's guest, Kirksplosion. Kirk spent three years writing a digital love letter to Aqua Teen in the form of "Aqua Teen Hunger Force: The (very unofficial) Game." The best part of this is that the game absolutely rules. If you have Playstation 4/5 and Dreams, you can play it for FREE. If you don't have Dreams, it's totally worth the price to play this one game.

Monday Oct 31, 2022
Have you ever wanted to play a game AS the Mooninites? Big mistake, buster. Samuel of the Cosmos (Nick Gibbons) gets to play such a game, and it sucks ass. We dive into the fourth AquaDonk Side Piece and talk about video game let downs, alternate options for how this short could have played out, and this short's relation to Plantasm.

Nick Gibbons (ATHF, YPF, As Seen On Adult Swim) is fun to talk to. How fun, you stupidly ask? Well, I only intended to chat with him for 30 minutes as an addendum to my coverage of "Moon Master 9: Beware The Gorgotron"-- but the conversation easily went on longer and became its own episode. Playing Samuel of the Cosmos, as well as editing on/producing the AduaDonk Side Piece, Nick has also spoofed streamers in his other work. We dive into his time on the short/AquaDonk Side Pieces, touch on Nick's other streamer spoofs (Final Deployment 4, ThundaClap!), and we also learn which game disc Nick wants to take a dump on.
Other topics discussed include editing ATHF from home with little kids, Nick's thoughts on Shake Like Me being removed from streaming, and the frustration/jealousy/rewards of being a content creator.

The | Aqua Teen Hunger Force
Monday Oct 10, 2022
Monday Oct 10, 2022
Want to know the quickest way to get your roommate to move out? Easy! Just emulate Mr David Lynch I'm On TV. In this episode of Aqua Teen, Frylock moves out, Shake keeps on doing whatever he wants, and Meatwad suffers. Plus, Carl falls out of an ambulance. We also see Frylock get rejected by Ned Hastings and Jay Wade Edwards. Beyond all of this, The demonstrates why Aqua Teen-- both the TV show and the group-- needs Frylock. Other topics discussed include pink eye, Dr Weird's possible Danzig fandom, and David Lynch's NYC Rat PSA.

Jay Wade Edwards Interview | ATHF Producer, Editor, Voice Actor
Monday Oct 03, 2022
Monday Oct 03, 2022
Jay Wade Edwards is an Aqua Teen heavy-hitter. Not only was Jay a producer, editor, and voice actor on the show, but he is responsible for many of the in-universe TV shows the Aqua Teens watch, as well as for the special features on the DVDs. Jay still pops in to work on Aqua Teen, such as on the 2021 HBO Max promos, some of the 2022 AquaDonk Side Pieces, and he had a hand in the much anticipated 2022 film Plantasm. Beyond this, Jay has worked for Disney (Gravity Falls, Wander Over Yonder), Netflix (Kid Cosmic), and on other Adult Swim shows (Space Ghost Coast To Coast, Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell, Squidbillies, etc.)-- to name a few of his credits. Jay also edited the upcoming Matt Servitto directed film A Town Called Purgatory.
When not working on content for pay, Jay spends his time making his own content. With a 2005 feature length film (Stomp! Shout! Scream!), numerous short films (some of which are shot masterfully on iPhone), and even some blogs under his belt, Jay and I had no shortage of things to discuss. Make yourself a tiki drink, put on your skunk ape suit, and enjoy this incredible discussion that I had no business having.
