Everybody get up, it's time to slam now, we got a real podcast going now! Yes, this month's movie is Space Jam, and we're joined by Thad Komorowski of the Cartoon Logic podcast in our history segment to help us explore how Bugs Bunny and Michael Jordan teamed up in 1996! Then Bob and Henry go over the film scene by scene, meaning weird CGI body horror, sexy rabbits, off-model ducks, weird background characters, and Bill Murray cameos galore. Listen now and enjoy!!

[Note: For all future movie podcasts, we will be posting each episode of What A Cartoon Movie! in two parts. Patreon has a file size limit per upload, and we want to maintain the highest quality bitrate for these mega-long podcasts. Please check your Patreon RSS feed for the second part of this episode!]

Come on and slam!

And welcome to the jam!

Apparently the sequel to that Barkley Gaiden game is LONG cancelled as the project basically collapsed in on itself.

I don't like how Warner Bros. name their recent Looney Tunes series. "The Looney Tunes Show" (2011 - 2014), "New Looney Tunes" (2015 - 2019), "Looney Tunes Cartoons" (2020 -). These names are all confusing, especially New Looney Tunes, because it's not the new one anymore.

I suspect this might've been the case for a decent chunk of folks my age who were younger kids at the time, but I honestly had no idea this movie started as an ad campaign until I found out about it from some internet video or another years later. Hell, it still seems crazy, and it raises so many questions, like why *this* ad and not, I dunno, the Jerry Seinfeld and Superman ad? That's roughly as thin a premise, but at least it might've held up.

The only movie where Jay-Z raps as Bugs Bunny, and Cypress Hill/Busta Rhymes dress up as Monstars

You guys briefly touched on it but it cannot be stressed enough how important this movie was for black nerds. If you were an American BIPOC born between 1985-1990 this was probably the movie that made you run to your library to check out all the old WB tapes and Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair. You've got the most popular black athlete front and center alongside the characters of those public domain grainy ass tapes sold at every gas station that EVERY black kid had in the 90s. And the soundtrack, good god, it is the dankest album a major motion picture company has safely sold to a bunch of white kids. Space Jam is a bad movie but as a 10yo bouncing in the seat to fucking Basketball Jones while Michael Jordan affably mugs at the camera it was the first time it felt like a movie was made for people like me.

I like it, its just that the names for all three shows are confusing. Even Henry mistakenly referred to The Looney Tunes Show as "New Looney Tunes".

They should cross together the 90s urban Looney Tunes shirts with the newer memes. So that way you could own a shirt with Fat Bugs that says: "I love it when you call me Big Chungus"

agreed. They couldn't make the names anymore confusing. At least with something like Loonatics Unleashed...you knew it stood out.

I find it funny and a little ironic that the voice acting lifers already voicing the Looney Tunes were recast with OTHER voice acting lifers. Instead of Jeff Bergman, it’s Billy West. Instead of Joe Alasky, it’s Dee Bradley Baker, etc

Bennett Billard

Well I'll be a cat's BALLS! Lola Bunny's 3rd Goggle image IS porn! Also, "I Believe I Can Fly" was written by Hatsune Miku.

Brian Hortin

Wayne Knight is the acting MVP in this movie for me. It still wouldn’t be a great movie, but I do agree that the villains should be actual Looney Tunes. If they wanted to keep the whole alien thing they could have just kept Marvin as the villain like the commercials. Back in Action is better and the choice of villain is part of that.

Excellent history section (even though I actually really like Looney Tunes: Back in Action lol). I rewatched this for the first time since childhood back in maybe 2015 or so for another podcast's discussion of it, and FUCKING DETESTED it, but I had no idea how much of a clusterfuck the production of it had been. Knowing what you three discussed, namely that it was a director who did not make it easy for actors to figure out how to interact with stuff to be added in later OR for the animators to make things convincing, IT REALLY SHOWS on screen. It's insane how much time and effort was put into this by hundreds of animators for a job that was basically impossible at the time and amounted to garbage through no fault of their own.

I grew up in the ghetto throughout my childhood (I didn’t meet a white person till Middle School) and I can confirm Space Jam was huge for me and my friends. The clothes, basketball and especially the music which in my opinion is one of the greatest movie soundtracks of all time (laughter at me it’s okay) and it was really cool to us at the time. It was WB showing us that Bugs and the other Looney Tunes were Cooler and more legit compared to Plain Disney which is pretty similar to what Shrek and Dreamworks did in the 2000’s. During recess me and my friends would make edgy jokes by changing the lyrics to “I believe I can fly,I believe I can touch the sky“ to “I believe I can Die, I got shot by the FBI” .
