Official Show Notes[]

Greeting boils and ghouls and gender non-kill-forming! For the spooookiest holiday of the year, Thanksgiving, we discuss the very appropriate Happy Halloween, Scooby Doo! Why? Well, we ask our guest, the hilarious absolute sweetheart, Justin McElroy, that very question — you may know him as one of the hosts of Max Fun’s own My Brother My Brother and Me, The Adventure Zone, Sawbones, and many other podcasts you should probably be listening to instead of our nonsense. See all that he’s up to at the McElroy family site.

Final Judgments[]

­I liked a lot of the silliness. I gotta admit, at a certain point the movie started dragging for me, which is crazy because it is only 70 minutes long and so much crazy stuff is happening at all times.
       — Marginal Movie I Kinda Like (Dan) @ 57:50

­As someone who is not a fan of Scooby-Doo, it was fun to see a Scooby-Doo thing where I was like, 'oh, there's like a lot of funny jokes in this.'
       —Movie I Kinda Like (Elliott) @ 57:55

­Stuff certainly happened.
       —Movie I Kinda Like (Stuart) @58:45

­It's just kind of a relief when you find something that's like, 'Oh, somebody actually tried on this. Somebody actually put the work in and made this like... made some good jokes in here. I can watch this 30 times and not be driven mad.'
       —Movie I Kinda Like (Justin) @59:15

Dan: Uh... yeah, we'll do the intro and then we'll do the show
Stuart: Oh, ok.
Justin: Good order. I'd head to the outro right after that, though. I don't want to tell you your business.
Dan: So many burns. Ok!
