2006, Ep. 3: "THE PINK PANTHER" (with TJ Dobbin!)

Our brilliant pal and FOUR TIME B.O.G. Legend TJ Dobbin (Sin City, Batman Begins, Chicken Little) returns to help us inspect the Steve Martin entry in the PINK PANTHER series. We delve into the lengthy tail of the legendary original series (and one of our host's noted dislike for them!), and TJ schools us on the sprawling history of Depatie-Freleng studios and their prolific animated Panther output.

Other topics include Shawn Levy's bizarre original choice for Clouseau, Martin's too-knowing eyes, Beyonce's bewilder anonymity, Emily Mortimer's hollow bones, an insane Bond cameo, Jean Reno's game commitment and secret nationality, the lackluster late seasons of BONES, leveling up in "street smarts", and Allen Iverson's role in making me love a monkey cartoon.

At this point, you all know the greatness TJ always brings, and this was a BLAST; we packed SO MUCH good info into less than two hours, and I'm so excited for you to hear it to hear it.
