Speaker 1 (00:09):
Hey, Hey, Hey, how's everybody doing. Welcome to another episode
of Nerdificent. I'm your host, if you widy way and
sitting across from me as always is very under the
weather Danny Fernandez. Yes, you know what, Actually it made
my voice sound even better, like drop down an octave
or what I was going to say. Maybe it makes
it sound a little goofy wow sound a little I

(00:33):
would like to Alreadie um introduce Eddie up top already
I had to avoid laughing because I didn't introduction. It's
always the fun thing about being the guest where you're like,
how long do I be quiet? You're the voice that
you hear. Is the co creator and co executive producer
of Historical Roast on Netflix. Also at the Comedy Store,

(00:54):
That is Eddie Firth. Hey, thank you for having me guys. Yes,
I'm excited. This is one of those fun ones where
it's like two of my best friends I've known forever
and now we get to just sit down and talk
about I know what we did when we were kids.
Oh yeah, it's it's it's gonna be a good time.
I love it. If he would, um, I totally cut
you off. I was about to say what you were

(01:15):
geeking out about this week? Oh man, I think what
I'm getting out about is Life is Strange too. I've
been playing through the chapters and this one's fun. Uh, Danny,
did you ever hear the first Life is strange? It's
kind of like it's more it's like an indie ish game.
Like it's it's like like like the Beach House of

(01:37):
video games, where like there's some buzz, mainstream buzz, but
they're pretty still pretty indie. But the first one follows
a girl and it has a lot of queer representation,
and the whole thing is like she finds out she
has these special powers where well, the second one continues
that same trend, but it's too uh like Mexican kids
and they are and it's like, really isn't afraid to

(02:00):
touch on, you know, the race relations of it all,
And it's really I don't know. I think that's the
fun of narrative games, where it's like like because they
don't it's not like you know how sometimes where when
video games are media approach race, it's very heavy handed
and straight up, but like there are microaggressions that are
happening to them that you are forced to notice because

(02:22):
you are experiencing those traumas as the player. I was like,
this is what really makes the real work and and
like really forcing like like obviously as a person of color,
you're gonna like be more wary. But now, as like
if you were like you know, like a white person
who might not be looking out for this, you are
wary where you're like, oh, maybe just maybe you can

(02:43):
get like how like it's it's just a little bit
like oh, there's second meanings to things where people said
like um, without spoiling too much, like you're kind of
on the run, and like there's a line that's just like, well,
why would you run away if you're innocent? And it's
like if as as a player who has experienced everything,
you know exactly why you ran away, Like it's so clear,

(03:06):
but like having that question post you seem so incredulous,
But it's like, yeah, that's a question that a lot
of people deal with of like well, if you're innocent
then because like now you can see how quickly you
know why you would do that. Anyway, I'm having a
good time for I already know it's gonna make me cry.
At the end, the two boys are so very cute,

(03:27):
and it's so I just love that we're out here
doing stuff like that. That PC. I always playing PC.
But it is available on all consoles, and the last
episode of isn't out yet, it's coming out December five,
so you can like play and binge the first because
they break the game up in the episodes. It's very
similar to like the Tailtale games, where it's like it's

(03:50):
a it's a heavily narrow, heavy narrative game where it's
based on your choices. So that's it's it's super fun.
So even even if you're not quote unquote gamer and
are afraid of the mechanics, is very easy to pick up.
Not even if you don't play video games. I think
I as like I still play. I play a lot
of sports video games. There was a point I always

(04:13):
call it the line of delineation. For me was call
of duty. Like I was a big I loved video games, Sonic,
Mario Brothers, all the early platforms, and then when we
got to the like when we really indulged in the
third person shooter, I was like, ah, I don't get
it in the same way. So I like, I like
that it's an easier an easier play, all right, and
you just add one more thing to my to my

(04:35):
nerding out, uh is the Sonic? The New Sonic looks
good and it's already been reported from folks that it
wasn't under crunch that they, you know, gave the animator's
ample amount of time. I still stand by my statement
that I think they should get points on a movie.
If people don't know what points is, it's basically a
percentage of earnings of a movie. Because they truly saved

(04:59):
this movie. And I think this movie is going to
do numbers now because like now you have the story
is they're like not of the actual movie, but the
story of the creation of it is there. And the
fans feel like they made they felt like they made
it happened. So I think just that alone is gonna
make it just do so well. I saw a part

(05:21):
of that trailer. It really did interest me. The idea
that he had set off some sort of electric signal,
like he's living in the wrong world, and it was cool,
like it was good, but then he starts playing baseball
by himself and he looked like that that intrigued me.
I'm definitely am definitely interesting and I only watched the tidbit.
I don't like watching trailers because trailers just give away

(05:43):
too much now, so like I'll just watch. I just
wanted to see the New Sonic and then I was
done and anything. What about you, Eddie? There's two things?
Can I can? I thee with two things I have been.
I've been binge watching to hlight Zone for the last
two months, like these were I already talked about it

(06:06):
before we started. How could I? How could I not?
It's so I grew up. Every New Year's Eve channel
leven w p i X in New York would play
the marathon and that was our New Year's Eve. It
was make pigs in a blanket and bagel pizzas and
and watch twilight Zone. And I don't know why, but

(06:26):
my comfort food in the last two months has just
been watching twilight Zone, just around the clock. It really
does hold up. Like I remember, after our episode, I
went through and I watched it and obviously they're the
stuff that is dated is dated in a way that's
like interesting because it gives you insight into the time
that it was made, like the first episode being this

(06:46):
idea of a man will go crazy and the time
it takes to make it to the moon, Like that
is history, that's like living history of Like this is
their perception of what space travel was before you actually
had proof of it. So yeah, I I highly support
anyone who decides to binge Twilight Zone. I just like
giving Danny hard time about it. It's there, there is

(07:08):
this incredibly there's this weird this is this great timelessness
to it. But it's very accessible. I appreciate too. I
appreciate that they're basically like twenty five minute episodes twenty
two minutes. That half hour format makes it very easy
to just they're simple. They don't overdo anything, even down
to the set pieces, like looking at and realizing that

(07:30):
for the most part, if it was shot on a
sound stage, it looks almost like a high school play,
but a really well done one. I had downloaded an
audio book that I had started to listen to but
haven't finished about The Twilight Zone because look, I know
Rod Sterling couldn't have written every single episode that he
didn't like, but like there's some where it says he

(07:50):
did where I'm like, look, I know you didn't write
I know you didn't write all of these. It literally
says it in the credits, But how prolific he was
in making that show. When you look at each season
is twentysomething episodes, and they did that many, and it's
just it's a fascinating watch and it really I love
how it does hold up. There is a timelessness to

(08:11):
it that just kind of in black. There's quaintness to
it as well. So I've been watching that like crazy.
The other thing, I was lucky. I was in New
York last week and I had a day to go
over to the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens
and they have this incredible Jim Henson exhibit. I mean,
obviously Kermit and Miss Piggy and Big birden Elmo are
all there, but they showed some of these clips from

(08:32):
him on the Ed Sullivan Show when they had him
on all the time, and all these all the different puppetry. Right.
This bit, this one bit that really intrigued me was
it was clearly like piping that you would use for
like air ducts, right, like just this cylinder, but they
he turned these into these dancing puppets on the Ed

(08:53):
Sullivan Show to this song jazz time a rag jazz
or something like that. And it was just this puplicity
of it, and I don't know. I definitely watched a
couple of clips of The Muppet Show and other Jim
Henson stuff. I sat there in awe watching Kermit ride
a bike, realizing I I genuinely had no idea how
he wrote a bike, and I was like, that's it's practical.

(09:16):
It's not, it's not, it's it's an effect that they
had to create in real life. That that was real
magic to me. So being that close to all the
puppets and all the bits and being able to see
it in a museum and walk in and see it
like that captivated me. Last week I had I had
a blast doing that. Well, I'll have to check that out.
I'm being in New York in a few weeks and
I'm definitely gop that it's worth it. I think the

(09:37):
Museum of the Moving Image is also the perfect size museum.
It's basically two floors of museum, so you don't feel
like it's like I love the Museum of Natural History
in New York, but it's way too big. I can
never see it and so I just get lost for
for like two hours, and I'm like, you know, what
I'm leaving this stuff. I'm done this, but that I
got through the whole thing in like two hours or so.

(10:00):
It was like a nice afternoon. Took the subway out
if you if you have time, it's I think that
that exhibits up for a while too. You'll enjoy that.
What about you, Danny, what did you get out about?
You know? Um, they just announced that they're going to
make a new Zoro with a female lead. So I'm

(10:20):
seeking out you know about sending that to my reps. Um.
But also I just think that's cool and um, of
course everybody has tagged me in the new Selina series. Yes,
I saw all the tags. Um definitely also already aware.
I think a lot of people tagged me in it.
And some people would be like why didn't you audition

(10:40):
for this or whatever, and like we don't always fit
the demo. I don't know, if you know, it's about
your growing up, not already grown up. Um, so if
they wanted that, they already have that. J Lo did
that of her already grown up. Also, like it's so
funny because it's like like if the idea I understand

(11:00):
and it should have been I hope or you should
audition for this, but why didn't. It's such a there's
so many factors at play. Lots of times by the
time we hear about it, it's been done. For example,
friend of the pod good friend of mine, Jessica gaw
was just announced head writer of the She Hulk Show,
and I immediately texted her, I like in light speed.

(11:22):
I was like, please tell me that room asn't full.
She's like, it is full, And I was like, I
imagine because by the time they announced anything in TV,
it is full, just like when they announced the new
Um hey Man, they had a full room. When they
announced the Magic of the Gathering show, they it's just
like by that time, and you just have to have
either someone in the know, which is usually because like

(11:43):
they're it's starting within the same agency or something like that.
But like, yeah, um, I can speak from direct experience
on that that when we when we did Historical Roles
last year, when they announced it, Yeah, I was literally
in the writer's room sitting next to Jeff Ross and
the article came out like we were working, like we
were in the middle of a workday. This wasn't news

(12:04):
to us. We were already three weeks into the product
like we were. We had decisions made, choices picked out,
and it came out and it was more just one
of those nice afternoons and the riders and we're like,
oh good now everyone knows, but there's no people were
then trying to We're in the middle, like we're almost done,
we have to finish this soon, Like, yeah, why didn't
you just just so you know, that's how so why

(12:26):
didn't you audition for Zoro? I'm going to there, Yeah,
what's it? Where's it is it? It's a movie or
a series, and it's a series. I think, where's it
going to be? Disney Plus? Well, yeah, because Disney had Zoro.
But I don't know, um, not entirely. I know where
it's going to be. It's going to be on the
new Warner Brothers app and there's gonna be a crossover

(12:48):
where now a female Batman is going to have her
parents killed outside the theater. I can even the I
hear just the rumblings of Nerd even at the joke
of that idea, just like what anyways, that is what
I'm geeking out about. And uh, today we're talking about

(13:09):
Disney nineties Disneys, these Dick's Disney tune block, which when
I hear I immediately think of Duck Tails Chippendale. That's
so funny. That was in my head. Duck Tails. Oh,
there's only two more I would add to that, so
duck Tails, Chippendale, Tailspin. I was a big dark Wing

(13:33):
duck fan. But also that's a dangerous goof Troop when
when goof Troop came out, because that was on the
heels of the movie and when we were like, we're
going to get more of this. It wasn't as good
as the movie, but it was. I mean I watched that,
I watched it all that they think they did two
episodes at once with that as well, and it was
it was awesome. Yeah, let me just tell you, I

(13:55):
goof Troop to me, just nothing compares to a Goofy movie,
not even Disney movies because it's so different, like even like,
of course Lion King is iconic. Speaking of Lion King,
a part of this block was also to Moon in Pumba,
but um, the Lion King of course iconic, like you know,
award winning. But there's an underground not so underground anymore

(14:19):
cult following of a Goofy movie and how weird it
was in the soundtrack being so original and like pop
at the time, and you know, they literally have a
possum part in it. Um. Yeah, So goof Troop just
wasn't quite the same, but we're going to talk about
it because it is on here. Also, did you know

(14:40):
that Pete is a cat? P is a cat? The cat? Yeah?
I always forget that. So Goofy, you know, and Max
are dogs, Pete and PJ are cats. Isn't that fascinating? Anyways,
we're going to uh, we're going to talk about this
nineties block. It was actually so the Disney Afternoon Block,

(15:04):
which was later known internally as the Disney Kellogg Alliance
if you can think of brands for for branded purposes.
It was created for syndication two hours. It was actually
only two hours animated television programming block that was produced
by Walt Disney Television Animation. And something fascinating that you

(15:27):
were saying, Eddie, was how the shows came out. Can
you explain to people, m HM about the blocks. There
were two shows that were initially that we're already being done,
like Gummy Bears and Duck Tails were already TV shows
that were happening, so they were lumped into it at
first as a way to draw people in, but the

(15:49):
way they lay it out, which really as even as
a kid, this interested me. They put them all together,
like the first season was Adventures of Gummy Bears, Ducktails,
Rescue Rangers, and Tail Spin. The next year they would
drop the first show, the lead in show, so Gummy
Bears got cut. They'd slide every show up a half
an hour, and the new show that they were adding

(16:10):
to the lineup came at the end of the block,
and that was obviously they're building towards that last half
hour because that's the most kids are home from school,
everybody's watching at that point. They can lead into it
and then their new shows. So like the second season,
instead of Gummy Bears being at the top, duck Tails
opens the two hour block and dark Wing Duck their
new character is now closing it out and then and

(16:31):
they just cycle through that. So that was their way
of transitioning shows was whatever whatever was on at three o'clock.
It kept the lineup fresh every year, and you were
guaranteed the three to four years of each show, but
then it was gonna go away and something new every
year comes in at the end of the block and
Bumps Up, which I find really interesting too because this
was the same year that like Tiny Toon Adventures came out,

(16:51):
So this is at the beginning of the nineties, and
then Batman animated series is going to come out. So
you have all of these afternoon cartoon blocks that are
yea heavily competing with each other, and Disney's ideas to
keep it fresh constantly. I love that, right, keep it fresh,
keep rotating something new in get rid of a show,
even if it's one of your You're because this isn't

(17:13):
Gummy Bears trending on Disney Plus right now. Yeah, yeah,
these all are technically, but yeah gummy Bears. And I
think it was funny because the Mandalorian, well, it came
out with one episode, so then everybody was like, what
else am I going to do on here? And then
everyone's been like binging the old block of shows, so
so the Mandalorians coming out weekly that, yeah, I was
so like, I was so surprised because friends for another

(17:37):
friend of the pod, Adam Lavick, when he was like
the episode one was good, I was like, why is
everyone only watching one episode? Now? I know I do
not have Disney. Plus I'm still like, I don't know
what I'm gonna pull the trigger on that, honestly, So
I have a little treat for y'all. Um some crime

(18:00):
slipping the cracks up the snack. It's no space stee
no too small, got it? Damn he did not get Honestly,

(18:25):
my most I mean, aside from duck Tails of course,
who who, I'm very sick and dark wing duck like,
let's get dangerous, yeah tailspin um Mine, which actually technically
is not on this block, is uh the Adventures of
Winnie the Pooh that was on their Saturday block, like Recess,

(18:51):
you know, pepper in and then they're throwing pepper range
cool for seventh grade. A lot of these shows also
wound up on Disney Channel. Yeah, Katum and put them
on their network. Oh yeah. The the the soundtrack to
all of them had to me classic theme songs, even
down to the actual I don't know if you guys

(19:11):
remember this one. Disney Afternoon had an opening theme song,
so you tune in at three o'clock and it's not
like they just jump into gummy bears or ducktails. They
played the Disney Afternoon theme song, which was then on
a CD, Like I got the soundtrack as a kid,
and it had gummy bears, it had gummy berry juice,
It had songs, all of the theme songs and then

(19:32):
some songs that were secondary songs on each show. But
the Disney Afternoon theme song was great. It's so funny
when you think about how much of our media is supplemented,
Like you know, it's easy to forget because you know
whether or not your parents support it. But like my
daughter Naomi loves p J Mask. P J Mask is

(19:52):
a new Disney during your show about these kids who
turned into heroes, you know, at night using their pajamas,
and like there's a tour they do of like p
J Mask Live and so uh and like I was like,
all right, well, I guess I gotta take you to this.
Oh that's amazing. I definitely went to one of those
Nickelodeon live tours that they were doing. Yeah, the soundtrack

(20:17):
was great. It just oh my god. It was one
of the first CDs. I right, we were just getting CDs.
A six year old. I had like a little CD
player in my room, so I'd play that one and
played Disney Afternoon. And I I also loved that this
was a time where this is something I don't I
don't watch enough cable anymore. Maybe they're still doing this,
but they had bumpers and wrap arounds, a little intros

(20:40):
and outros to it, like some of the most simple
bumpers right, like usually a bunch of paintbrushes painting Disney
Afternoon on but like those bumpers were Oh yeah, I
still get caught watching bumpers for that or for Channel
eleven or anything. Just watch it over and over. Yeah. No,
this was definitely such a fun time. And before we

sounding to get back to our show. Yeah, okay, so
the block actually started. So The Disney Afternoon originally ran
from September tenth to August nine, seven, all seven years.

(23:16):
It feels like it ran so much longer. I dropped
out at a certain point. You sounds so guilty when
I feel because I feel bad, Like I turned Yeah,
I turned my back, and it was I think. I
think once goof Troop came along, that was kind of
when I started to fade from it. Like I knew
of I knew of Bonkers, I knew of Gargoyles, I

(23:39):
knew I know that for instance, my sister was more
into to Moan and Poma than I was. But something
like Aladdin, I kind of skipped over, even though that
was one of my favorite movies. I was kind of like,
I know that this is I know what you're doing
to me right now, and I'm not I'm not here
for it, and that that is a very interesting thing.
And I did get like it's not Disney plus because

(24:01):
I know, I said, I didn't get it. But before
they had it's Disney now because their app that they
had before. I'm sure plus is the way to go now,
but I did it so PJ mask um so that
now you only could watch PJ mask. But it always
like after the end of the season, you know, it
would jump to another show and it keeps jumping to

(24:22):
the Lion King spinoff show like The Love of the
Pride or something like it was going for a bid
and I was like, oh man, this is this This
was such a rip off. Like they like they really
did just try and keep the story going when there
wasn't much of a story. The voice is so clearly
not simbo, which but you know for a Latin they

(24:46):
did get Gilbert Godfree to play and that was like
that was the one voice they could as if Scott
Winger from Full House was doing so much that he
couldn't reprise his role as like what how did he
turn that down? Who was his rep who was like, yeah,
you don't need this right now? You want to get
stuck playing Aladdin for Everyone's like yeah, I would love
a job. Gosh was the TV show where he had

(25:08):
his hot dad. I just know everybody is like everybody
talks about Aladdin's Hot Dad. It might have been in
the sequel, which was like, you know, straight to the video. Um.
But yeah, so we talked. We touched on Gummy Bears
a little bit, but just to be official about it.
It first aired in the US in nineteen eighty five.
It ran till one, like Eddie said, it got dropped. Um,

(25:30):
that's exactly what they did. They would drop the first
show and bump up another show. The series was loosely
inspired by the Gummy Bear candies. Actually, Disney CEO Michael
Eisner was struck with the inspiration for the show when
his son requested the candies one day. Can you imagine
that I read a book on Eisener. He seems like
a very interesting guy. Like he seems like the Vince

(25:54):
McMahon of kids TVs. What my kid likes Gummy Bears.
Put some Gummy Bears on the TV areas like Candy
Bruck assaults Dad. Um. So this The series actually moved
to ABC for one season. It was from it was
airing alongside the New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh again
one of my favorites. Uh, and it was known as

(26:16):
The Gummy Bears Winnie the Pooh hour. Yeah, yeah, what
a great I can guarantee that for most of these
I can sing some or all of the theme song. Oh,
I know the Winnie the Poo win Oh was just
like I gotta get up, I gotta get going. I'm
gonna meet a friend of mine. He's round and he's fuzzy.
I love him because he's just Pooh bear Whinnie. Yeah,

(26:37):
I'm in my thirties, I still remember that. I go
further back with Winnie the Poo. Do you remember the
Disney Channel like live Action Winnie the Pooh where they
were all in large, fuzzy costumes. That was my jam.
That's older. But gummy bears bouncing here and there and everywhere.
That was what is it? Okay gummy bears? Yes? So

(26:59):
so The always Well remembered from its theme music, which
was written by Michael and Patty silver Sheer. And for
what you mentioned it the gummy berry juice a type
of magic potion, granny gummy berry juice. That's this episode
or hate this episode? Yeah, that sounds like the theme

(27:21):
song was something named after something that a kid was
just fine, like, kid likes gummy bears, put them on
a TV. Oh well, the next show that we're talking
about is one that I think has holds more steam
in most hearts, which is Duct Tails. The American animated
television series produced by Walt Disney Television Animation and distributed

(27:45):
by Buena Vista Television. It premiered on September eighteenth of seven,
just a few months before Danny and If You Were
Born Uh, and ran a total of a hundred episodes
over four seasons, with its final episode airing on November
twenty eight. Based upon Uncle Scrooge and the Other Duck
Universe comic books created by Carl Barks, the show follow

(28:07):
Scrooge McDuck, his three grand nephews Huey, Dewey, and Louie,
and close friends of the group on various adventures. Either
involves seeking out treasure or Thornton efforts of villains. You
can steal Scroogees fortune or his number one doe. My
favorite thing that I remember, which I'm excited I will
get Disney Plus and watch is um the Christmas Carol Scrooge. Um.

(28:34):
I love that. I mean was where he got his name? Yeah,
but like Goofy was Jacob Marley and um, Jimmy Cricket
I think was the Ghost of Christmas Past, and then
Pete was a gross of Christmas Future and that was
terrifying because it was like at a you know, the
graveyard or whatever, but oh, it's so good. And then
they have the I used to have a VHS of

(28:55):
this and it was all of the original Disney Christmas tunes.
It was like Santa's Workshop, y'all treat yourself this holiday season.
And watched that that VHS I had and they had
the ice Skaters. That is my favorite Christmas VHS. They
don't put it. They haven't put that one fully on
DVD yet, but you can try to find different DVDs

(29:16):
and YouTube clips. It's one recently where the Christmas season
coming up. I was like, I need to find all
of those. And I think that that that version of
Christmas Carol is the only other Christmas Carol I regard
besides my Christmas because that's the Christmas Christmas Carol, the
Christmas Carol. But love it. I loved no and tiny

(29:36):
Tim was like the little Man Mickey and they like
had the little all and Mini and oh so great
and oh and and Daisy like was the I forgot.
It was like his girlfriend that he never you know
he pursued money instead of her. Okay, so great. And
it was a bunch of the characters from The Wind
and the Will, like a bunch of characters from Mr

(29:57):
Toad We're in there that you would direct. So good.
But yeah, I love I love that you just quoted
the the It's called a Walt Disney Christmas and it
has the Workshop. It has him trying to the kids,
sneaking out of bed to see Santa. It's got Chippendale
in the Christmas tree, the ice skaters somehow almost go

(30:17):
over a waterfall. That seemed a little extreme, but it
was fun. I love. I still remember the pilot episode
of duck Tails. Really it's because it's Donald dropping off Huey,
Dewey and Louie before he goes to the Navy. Yeah,
he's like, he's like Scrooge, will you. Yeah. They finally
explained why he's dressed like a set. They were like,

(30:38):
he's been dressed like a serial this whole time. Let's
just send him to the navy where would Essentially it's
an almost prequel Donald right there showing this alternate universe
where he's like, well, I gotta drop the kids off somewhere.
I've been in the navy of this whole time. This
is why I'm wearing the sailors suit. So whoa. I
typed in his name and it says Donald Duck World
War Two veterans. Oh man, you know you know. He

(31:01):
also essentially played Hitler in a propaganda film well. Also,
the show's popular theme song was written by Mark Mueller
and and everyone's favorite launch pad. Mcquack later returned to
appear in another Disney animated series, Darkling Duck. Moving on
from Duck Tails, Um, we have Chippendale Rangers. Now, I

(31:27):
was a big um. I was a big fan of gadget.
Her last name is actually hack wrench uh. And if
you go to Tunetown at Disneyland, they have a Chippendale's
Rescue Rangers roller coaster and she is there on the wall. Really,
I don't think I've been in tune Town. Tunetown always

(31:51):
the number one attraction for me is anyone want to
guess that the weights where you have to pull the
weights up off the ground. So I'm branded drag him,
drag him right? Yes? Would it be the one that
breaks down every single every other ride, which is um
Mr Rogers Roger Top Tier Tune Town Ride. Yes, yeah,

(32:15):
and you are also right as someone who worked at Disney,
that was the number one question we get is is
Roger Rabbit working And we would just robbit and we
would just say no because we're the time, right, But
you could just be like, no, it isn't even if
it is, because it's so rarely, but it's so good.

(32:37):
It's just still is it still running? Yeah? Still, I
haven't been in a while. Um, I don't know if
they're going to change that eventually now that everything's getting
changed over there, but yeah, Roger Rabbits. What I tell
people is go to that and go to Indiana Jones
because Indiana Jones you got to go in first. It's
so good and immersive. Like if we could just take

(33:00):
a quick Disneyland break to talk about how good Indiana
Jones is, Like it really is, like in like, out
of all the rides you can wait for, it feels
like the most worth it because like, since your underground
you get to fee it really does feel like you're
going through this temple and the car runs so smooth.

(33:21):
It's yeah, it's good. Rescue Rangers. I love the thing
I love about Rescue Rangers and what's gonna come up next,
which actually ties back to Indiana Jones is this is
I think one of the most successful repurposing of characters
who never displayed any characteristics like that whatsoever, like Chippendale

(33:42):
were not rescue Rangers, but to then put them in
this this was like an almost complete repackaging of these characters,
and from me, the same with the next show that's
going to come up completely worked, and it was That's
what for me as a kid felt fresh, Like I
knew Gummy Bears wasn't fresh, and I knew Ducktails. I've
been watching that forever. And then all of a sudden
they put out this block and they're like, well, here's Chippendale.

(34:04):
It was almost like here's Chippendale, like you've never seen
them before. I was in it was what was the
what was the other guy's name with the mustache? I
loved him. It was like a big Monterey Jack Daddy
is heck um. So just to touch on Chippendale their
history really quick. Of course, they are two anthropomorphic chip brothers.

(34:28):
I think some people think they're just friends are actually brothers.
Their names are actually a pun based on the name
of the famous eighteenth century cabinet maker and furniture designer
Thomas Chippendale. Do I believe that? No? Do I think
it's about the strippers? Yes? Um, this was suggested by
Bill text Henson, a story artist at the Studio UM.
But then it would make sense because this was again

(34:49):
they came out in n So never mind, I guess
Chippendale's wasn't a thing. So do you think the strippers
took their name? You know, we have Google right here.
They are? Aren't they based off of isn't the Rescue Rangers? Though?
One of them is based off of Burt Reynolds? Right? Really? Yeah?
Isn't out of Chippendale or out or the Monterey Jack

(35:10):
because he had the yeah, Magnum p I and and
oh their dressed the way they were dressed. Yes? Nice? Yes, okay,
um so Danna producer, Yes, just informed us. The thing
that could not come to my brain is that they
are based off of Magnum p I in Indiana Jones,
which I love that if you're like parents, Um, but

(35:31):
let me just look up Chippendale's the Stripper Joint. One
of my favorite Chippendale crossovers is when they appeared in
the episode of Full House when they all went to
Disney World and Uncle Jesse basically has picnic with them
on because Aunt Becky's mad at him again. Oh no,
what's gonna happen? I will have to tweet out. When

(35:54):
I was at I think it was l a comic con,
somebody was this couple dressed up as Chippendale, as Chippendale dancers,
and they had so it was the two chipmunks in
thongs with money coming out of their thong, and then
they were holding a boom box which was actually the
radio from Brave Little Toaster. It was all very disney fied,

(36:16):
super funny. Yes, so what you were talking about coming
up next is tail Spin? Oh, yeal tail Spin. I
don't know why. I was thinking. You're singing Killer Tofy
from Killer, almost the same song. Wait if you do, um,
I need more allowance, your lady. Oh, this is such

(36:39):
a nine. We're such nineties kids, It's perfect well. Tail
Spin was set in the fictional city of Cape Zuzette
Cape Cape Suzette, which and it first aired in It
was actually a preview on Disney Channel and then later
became a part of the Disney Afternoon block of course,
it's based off of the nineteen seven animated feature The
Jungle Book with its characters. The name of the show

(37:02):
is a play on tailspin, which is actually when you
have a rapid descent of an aircraft and a deep spiral. Uh.
And the series, which was largely developed by writers Jim
Megan and Mark Zaslov, the Tailspin sort of pilot it did.
They did a movie first, They did like a full
movie that was I mean epic in scope. It's this

(37:26):
really big TV movie that then is broken up into
like two to four parts. Was it's four parts? Did
they do four episodes out of it? Or three? But
it's this phenomenal, like very epic, almost like the beginning
of Batman, the animated series, like just massive set piece
of a of a thing, I like the lightning strikes

(37:46):
the plane that they're just this incredible And it's based
on a TV show. Did you know that Tailspin. It's
called like Tail of the Golden Monkey, which was like
a random Indiana Jones rip off, Like, so hail Spin
rips off Tail of the Golden Monkey, which ripped off
Indiana Jones. But then they also ripped off Jungle Books.
So Tailspin just as like this amalgamation of four different things. Well,

(38:10):
there's actually more than that, because it was inspired by
Cheers and that's why, um they created the character of Rebecca,
who's based on the character of Rebecca how Um. And
and they also made they change Mowgli because they needed
you know, these are talking. They wanted it to be
all bears or animals, and so then they replaced Mowgli

(38:31):
with Kit. He's a little like I'm the I'm the
I'm the nineties cool kid with the backwards cap. Remember
the foil thing that he would then fly on, right,
He had this like it was like a hoverboard, but
it didn't hover. He would just flip it open. It
looked like a fan and he would hang out the
back and he'd be able to cook skysurf on this

(38:53):
foil board. God, if we only had all the stuff
that they had in the movies and TV shows. Yeah,
just a couple of other things about it. So they
one of their primary locations that they use was inspired
by Rick Blaine's bar in Casablanca, where they inserted the
character of Louis in place of Rick. And then the
decision to add shere Khan to the cast was actually

(39:14):
not made until later in the show's development, and they
took a lot of inspiration from Hio Miyazaki, as did
everybody in like every animated show or movie ever. But
about a pig where his what is the name of this, Yeah,
it's inspiration for him zak um manga ji. Yeah, about

(39:38):
a pig headed man who flies a seaplane and fights
air pirates. That sounds like more than inspiration. Sounds like
they're just doing it. But then up next, IFFI, what
do we have Up next? We have dark Wing Duck.
Let's get dangerous dark Wing Duck. Another thing that was

(40:02):
happening in a lot of these intros was it was
very soulful for but yeah, dark Wing Duck, which everyone
thought was a spinoff from Duck Tails, but they the creator,
Tad Stones, stated that the two shows exist. He believes
that the two shows exist in different universes. Not anymore
because Duck Tails the new one brought back out dark

(40:24):
Wing that was that was the big thing. And oh
my god, I forgot Gosling. Yes that she's Latina. I
love that. They just like make and you know, we'll
take it. We'll take whatever we can nab. I'm not
even kidding. I forgot when that came out. I think
it was with this new this new batch of duck Tails.

(40:45):
Uh yeah, this season. And she used she's a Latina now,
and we're like, okay, we'll take Gosling. I just imagine
the creator of Dark Wing Duck denying that they exist
in the same universe because he was fed up, like, no, no,
it's not the same. Okay, it's different. I get it,
launch Pad, but it's different, like like that, just very
irritated response or no, no no, no, that's not what I meant. Okay,

(41:06):
just leave me alone about it's not the same. Oh yes,
I remember Gosline Mallard uh, which is funny because she
almost has like that Elvira color scheme. Oh yeah, no
if you look at like old Gosling and then look
at her now. Yeah, they fully leaned in and she
is literally brown, straight up brown. Yeah, she's from Latin America.

(41:30):
Um so and Francisco. Oh yeah that makes sense. Um yeah,
So anyways, we have a new Latina duck. Uh what else?
So duck Tails, you know it had a launch pad mcquack.
I keep want to call him McQueen um launch pad mcquack.

(41:51):
As well as Gizmo Duck appearing in you know episodes
One Wheeled Guy that that futuristic he was cool that
they're not they're a multiverse. Yeah, they're They're were. They
definitely were building something with the Duck versus because they
seemed close enough yet only dabbled. And I don't know

(42:12):
if we mentioned this, but dark Wing Duck his real
name is Drake Mallard. You know, he has to keep
his uh identity secret. Having the kid was tough for him.
It was it was a challenge to balance the that
that work life balance was difficult for him. I think
Pizza Hut did like a kid's thing with dark Wing Duck.

(42:32):
I remember getting like a whole packet of When I
was a kid, I was obsessed with being a detective.
I loved reading The Hardy Boys. I loved anything where
there was a mystery to solve. So Dark Wing Duck,
I want to say it was Pizza Hut had some
sort of detective package where you'd get, you know, something
to decode and a little notepad, and like all of

(42:52):
these little detective things, the decoder is really starting to
speak to something in me. So I think that is
true because especially like back in the nineties, you had
like lots of crossover stuff. Because I'll never forget that
Pizza Hut. We're giving out vhs of the X Men
animated show, and I had the one which was the

(43:14):
essentially the pilot episode. Um, and then you had the
POGs they were they had the X Men pog. So
I was surprised if they had the Dark Wing duck
you know detective. Oh, yeah, here it is, this is
this is what they gave out. It was the Pizza
Hut box. They had the cups. Oh yeah, like that
folder in the back. I remember there was a goal.
There's detective stuff in the folder. So it was like

(43:36):
a case file almost. Yeah, no, that's solid, very very
cartoon film noir. So this was the first Disney Afternoon
show to really emphasize action rather than adventure, with Dark
Wing and routinely engaging in slapstick battles with supervillains and
street criminals. It was the first Disney Afternoon property that

(43:58):
was produced completely as a jo Unrad parody making fun
of the other ones. Prior shows would contain elements of
parody in some episodes, but his was like straight up
um supposed to be comedy um. By contrast, every episode
of Dark Wing Duck is laden with references to superhero
pop culture or superspy fiction. Dark Wing Duck himself is

(44:20):
a satirical character. His costume, gas gun, and flashy introductions
are all reminiscent of Golden Age superheroes such as The Shadow,
the Sandman, Duck Savage, Batman, the Green Hornet, and Julia
Shortz's flash as well as the Lone Ranger. That's the
big one for me, the Lone Ranger in Zoro. I
would say those are like dead ringers. So um. Also,

(44:43):
the fictional city of St. Cernard is a direct parody
of Gotham City. I love I love this idea that
that was their parody because at the same time you're
seeing tiny toon adventures and then you're seeing Animani actually
pump up their parody, their satire, and I my first
reaction was to ask if we thought it was a
response to what they were doing. But then if you

(45:04):
think about how we are right now, like that was
probably just what was going on at that time, Like
the way we're all creating very similar things in different spaces,
they were probably all just right. It's the same Hollywood
writers at some point going for one, but they didn't
get the job on Animaniacs, but they had similar ideas.
They're like, well, yeah, I got I got the job
on Dark Wing Ducks. So we're just gonna do a
whole parody of the superhero on Dark Wing Duck. It's

(45:26):
many great, he uses oral mask. We are now Yeah, Well,
what's fascinating is I figured that this would be making
fun of Batman the Animated Series, but it premiered before
Batman the Animated Series. I mean literally with him standing there,
he looks like, you know, like with his kepe and whatnot,
Like he looks like he's doing the Batman thing where
he's like standing over the city of Gotham. I mean

(45:47):
that opening. The opening credits definitely have the cape shot
with it like blowing in the wind on top of them.
So wait, did Batman the Animated Series take from Dark
Wing Duck? And I'm just kidding, Please don't tweet at us.
We have to take another a quick break. We're going
to hop into the rest of this afternoon block right
after this Welcome back to Nerdificent, and you know it's

(46:16):
time to get a little goofy because we're gonna talk
about goof Troop. Goof Troop. You had an interesting take
on it because you were saying you liked, uh, the
Goofy movie, but goof Troop kind of felt a little different.
I mean it totally feels different. It's still fun, but
when you have something like a Goofy movie, which is iconic,

(46:37):
it just doesn't feel quite the same. Um. Also, the
character designs are a little bit different. So but well,
it's interesting because it's like this show does predate Goofy movie.
So I think it did the thing that Simpsons movie
did worst, like we're going to do the animation better,
We're gonna bring a little more heart into it. But

(46:58):
I think Goofy movie did is so good. That was like, actually,
this is you've kind of like carved out these characters
in a different way, you know, whereas like you have,
like I don't know, like Goofy and Max's relationship in
a Goofy movie does feel way more mature than it
does in the show. So the show or the movie

(47:18):
came first? Is the show came first? Wow? I in
my head it was the opposite. Yeah. Also, like he's
he is younger, Like Max looks younger, and um, you're
not polished. Like he looks like he's in middle school
as opposed to in or elementary school. To be honest,
he looks like he's like elementary school, middle school, and
then in a Goofy movie he's very much a teenager. Yeah,

(47:40):
so goof Troop was essentially following the relationship between single
father Goofy and his son Max. I don't mean to
laugh at this. It just sounds way more serious than
it was. I have something good for that. This is
perfect because this is this relates directly to my experience
of Troop. So this was this comes out right around

(48:03):
the time my parents legitimately get divorced and my dad
moves out. And so when I talked about all these blocks,
like I remember the pilots, I remember that the very
I was excited for goof Troop at the TV show,
and that was one thing that my father made short
of tape at his house. So we watched that pilot
a few times. And that's why I thought there were

(48:24):
two episodes that were aired the first time it came out,
because we watched him a bunch, but it was legitimately,
and then the Goofy movie comes out and it's this
this parallel of like, my parents are divorced, my father
and I don't have this relationship in bond that we want,
and we're trying to figure it out, and here's this
TV show in this movie that's trying to help us
figure it out. Didn't really help. I can't. It doesn't

(48:45):
end well. It takes takes years for us to take
until takes until I make a TV show for him
to finally accept me. But anyway, that's a different story.
Finally said he was proud of me, and only now
I know how much is love costs? But but Google,
but but goof Troop really kind of hit that like
a single father TV show, and that like single fathers

(49:08):
and sons I think sometimes get almost under explored in
that relationship and that kind of bond a father and
son and one who's kind of a strange. And that's
why Goofy movie, I think is so emotional because you
see Goofy trying to relate to his son, but you
clearly understand that the son is a teenager and trying
to make his own way, but they can't really come together.

(49:29):
It's so note perfect that they I feel like they
may have experimented on the TV show and then somebody
was like, no, no no, if we really want to get
heart out of this, this is what it's really like.
I'm going through a divorce right now. Guys. Let me
tell you never look, Yeah we would. I would try
to take him camping. Let me tell you, try to
take him camping with a lot of possums, and then

(49:50):
we have Oh. This is one of my favorites is Bonkers.
I love Bonkers because in my fan fiction, in my
fan fiction head I always pretend that Jessica Rabbit had
an affair with Bonkers. That's very much her type. Goofy.
She's in an open relationship with Roger I guess, not

(50:11):
cheating on him. She's Wow, there's another show called Bonkers.
There should be only one. Bonkers was a cop? Yeah
he is? Uh so, now that he's trying to run
for president, I think we have to Bonkers was a cop.
He's a bobcat. He's bonkers d bobcat. He actually was.

(50:34):
This is even worse if he because he was washed
out of show business and became a cop. That's the worst.
That's like an open my comic, like not making it
and then deciding to be a police officer. So Bonkers
was made the junior partner of Detective Lucky Um, a
grim and ill tempered human who hates tunes. Wow. What

(50:55):
a weird pairing. Throughout the series, the hair work together
to solve crimes in Hollywood. I don't know why it's
so funny, because it is there. It does kind of
have like a Roger Rabbit sque kind of feel to it. Yeah,
this is this is one of the shows where I started,

(51:16):
Like I said, goof Troop was where it started to
crest for me. I was aware of Bonkers and I'd
watch it occasionally, but it didn't resonate. Yeah. I will
say that every once in a while when when I'm
feeling disillusioned about the industry, I do think I think
about being a cop, like like that's the obvious from
show based from creativity to law Enforced. Every every time

(51:37):
I go into me, it was like, if they don't
buy this pitch, I'm becoming a counter bomb. One more audition. Wow,
I just saw on here. At the end of the
Lucky episodes, Bonkers was given a new partner, the attractive
officer Miranda Right of course, although also listen, although also human,

(52:00):
because of course she is and still like you know,
bony or boneable by him. She was far more patient
and tolerant of his antics. With Miranda Bonkers was more
the brunt of the slapstick. Well, okay, that makes sense,
but also like, why are these human women? People get mad?

(52:20):
But Jessica Rabbit is literally a human. She's a tune
human that's sleeping with a rabbit. Anyways, I digress. There's
another show on here, Iffy that I've actually never seen
me either. It's called schnook Ms and Meet funny cartoon show.
It wasn't it wasn't. It wasn't my favorite. I am

(52:44):
aware of snookums and me. This was this was at
the point so if this is what years this is right,
it's ninety four that that one comes out. I'm ten
years old, and it's this is one of those things
where it's like it's more geared towards my younger sister,
who's probably four at the time, and so it would
be on she'd be watching it or I'd spent some
time with her doing that. That was this is when

(53:06):
the block starts to get more towards my sister's favorite stuff.
And I'm like all right, I'm ten years old. Let
me watch more Saved by the Bell or let me
go watch Monday Night Raw, or the New York Knicks
are playing in the finals this year. This is four
I'm watching. I'm watching the New York Knicks in the
Houston Rockets. Patrick Ewing at the same Absolutely, absolutely, this

(53:28):
was definitely an error. This is wild because I'm looking
at the art for this show and there's no way
that it wasn't inspired by which it was hoping to
compete with. Ye I was competing with. But I just
looked it up and it's not the creator of So
I'm like, why does it look so much that like it? Okay,
literally the art and the way that they spell their

(53:50):
the lettering is done, like, um, I do remember this.
So it was essentially a cat named Schnook ms uh
and a dog named Meat who did not get along
very well. What an odd pairing. Their owners are unseen
stock characters only viewed from the neck down. Very Tom
and Jerry s um, yeah, so I do. This reminds

(54:13):
me also of two stupid dogs. If anyone remembers two
stupid dogs, love it. So yeah, we have the Shnook
comes and Meat I guess if you're a fan of that,
let us know, just watched it. This was the venture
into that like weird, off beat stuff like it, and
I say, I get it. In the vein of if

(54:33):
Ren and Stimpy makes waves, someone's going to either be
inspired by or have a similar take or come along
with something that's secondarily like it, but probably didn't do
as well because it was not in the right part,
like you that is not in the Adventure Action block
of Disney. I don't know if that was their demo.

(54:54):
And at this point, what's it following, because you're turning
from a father and Sun trying to get along to
two abstract characters in a weird world. Yeah, and it's
it was very weird and edgy and and on Nickelodeon
they had Read and Snimpy, but they also had all
real monsters, which was gross. You know. It was like
armpit hair and farts and like you know. And then

(55:15):
the rugrats were which would do a lot of those
close ups, you know, and uh so those were all
kind of like weird. Then we have Gargoyles. Gargoyles which
originally aired October until February. If you can't tell it
follows a species of nocturnal creatures known as gargoyles that

(55:37):
turned to stone during the day. And this is this
is weird because they are also playing different shows on
different days, so you're not getting the same block all week.
They're breaking up like some are on Tuesdays and summer
on Fridays, and you had to watch them on certain days,
right because like X Men wasn't coming out every day,
so that was only a few times a week Gargoyles.

(55:58):
And I didn't love Gargoyles. It wasn't I didn't love it.
Who's the hot gargoyle chick that everyone wanted to bang? Oh? Wait, um, Demona?
Is it Demona or Demonic? I mean also, like you remember,
all the gargoyles had like kind of shredded clothes, so
it just like unintentionally made her look way hotter than

(56:20):
she was supposed to be. It was also relatively dark tone,
so again it was kind of different. It received a
lot of comparisons to Batman, the animated series, which had
now been out for a couple of years. Another thing
about Gargoyles, I guess their backstories. After spending thousand years
in an enchanted, petrified state, the Gargoyles who have been
transported from medieval Scotland. Are we are reawakened in modern day.

(56:44):
Where do you think New York City where every almost
cartoons with crime fighting take place. Um, they become the
city's secret nighttime protectors. Well that's great because there's so
many other people protecting New York City, like um, spider Man,
and that's the show I want to see. I want

(57:06):
to see Superman, Batman, Spiderman. I want to see all
of the superheroes getting in each other's way. The Gargoyles
show up like everyone's just like, dude, come on, I
got this one. Hey, I just butt heads. Well they
have that. It was the Marvel Netflix block, which was Daredevil,
Luke Cage. They were all in the same city. They

(57:27):
were all in Hell's kitchen. For the next one, I
just want to lump them together because they're of the
same ilk in my brain, which was the Aladdin animated
series and the Lion Kings Tamone and Puma, which then
led to the line Guard, which is the one that
came on that I was talking about, which are just
spin offs from the movie. I feel like they you know,
they're they're good for you know when you were a kid,

(57:47):
but looking back on him, weren't as impactful. Quackpack good
should have been sorted. I mean this came later, but
should have been sorted with duck tails. This time it's uh,
Donald Duck hanging with his nephews. But you know, tons
of cameos from Scrooge launch Pat mcquack. The reason I'm

(58:08):
blasting through those ducks is because I wanted to land
on these ducks which were actually important to me, which
were the Mighty Ducks, the animated series, which had nothing
to do with the Mighty Duck at all because they
were literal ducks. Yeah, they were literal ducks. Yeah. So
it was inspired by the live action Mighty Ducks films.

(58:32):
Uh and the in n h L team Anaheim Duck
Boo Go Kings uh um. But yeah they but they
it was real cool, like these buff ducks who played hockey.
That was pretty much the show. Uh. But it was
so funny because this came out so close to the
Mighty Duck movies that like, at first you thought it

(58:53):
was gonna be about the movie and it was like, no,
just buff ducks together. They did everything in the world
to capitalize on those movies. The idea they ended up
changing the name of the team is insanity when you think,
like a major sports franchise changed the name of a
team for a a kid's movie Ye starring Amelio Estevez.

(59:13):
What was the name of the team before? I think
did they start a new I think it might have
been an expansion team. It was either that or they
took over a team and changed the name that I I
forget which didn't was which is good? Like good to
know that it's oh my god, you're so right. The
team the movie, not the other way of Anaheim, were

(59:34):
founded in by the Walt Disney Company. They were like,
the movies did so well, we should start an actual team.
But this is I think where the team didn't do well.
If you look at the original jersey designs, it's all
the stuff that we know of, like from the movie.
But they should have just gone with those original green jerseys,

(59:54):
like those green sweaters that they were first. Where if
they came out and that we would have all been down.
But they did this like purple list ruin ish purple
and green. This like earth toned with the weird face masks.
Oh look at this dirty. This is how dirty sports
are so the franchise was awarded by the NHL in December,
along with the rights to a Miami team that would

(01:00:16):
become the Florida Panthers. An interest and entrance fee of
fifty million was required, half of which Disney would pay
directly to the Los Angeles Kings in order to share
Southern California. I did not know the Ducks are completely
based on a freaking movie, like and we we know

(01:00:39):
now what it takes to start a franchise, a sports franchise,
and maintain the sports franchise, getting arena built for a
sports franchise, all of the the other and and Disney
was just simply like the movies did, well, why not
why not make an actual team? People would like that
how much money Disney had back then for them to
be like, yeah, you know what it was like if

(01:01:00):
those bought the Detroit Lions for the Lion King Michaelis was, well, girls, like, well,
why don't we make a hockey team? Man? Oh, come on,
I mean, still a better idea than the XFL. And
with that, yeah, I was gonna know someone's kind of
tweet out to be like, why didn't you go in

(01:01:20):
depth in the gargoyles, gargoyles and go over every single character.
That is because we will do that on another episode,

nineties tune block. Yes, and thank you so much for

ms Danny Fernandez on all the things, and we're gonna
be doing some cool episodes coming up. We're really excited
for the new year, and we've heard you all about
expanding on some of these topics because it's a little
bit hard. You know, we're gonna get like an hour
or so with our guests to go into it. So
some we'll be revisiting some episodes. We'll be adding some

(01:03:29):
really big ones that we haven't been able to talk
about yet. I know some people are like, why haven't
you tackled this because it would take five days, which
is fine. Guess what, We're going to start taking five
days with multi partner episodes, so prepare for that. It's
gonna be fun. And nobody tweet us that they're tired
of that topic. Um, if you get five weeks of it,

(01:03:51):
you're gonna get five weeks of it. Um or just
do it depends, but we heard you. Also, we'll be
expanding on a lot of these huge topics that have
been really difficult to kind of tackle down into just
one episode, so like you know, um, and we could
do an episode on every Twilight Zone episode ever, So
we'll do that. Um, just kidding, but I already do

(01:04:13):
that in my brain. As we always say, stay nerdy.
