Brinky (with Stardella)14 Feb 202602:14:02

It's been a long time coming, folks, and we're ready to talk about the episode that birthed the shipname!

Join Mary Jo (Pines), Kellie (Pluto), and special guest Stardella for a jam-packed discussion of the fan favorite episode, Brinky! When Brain attempts to create a clone in his image, Pinky's toenail is merged with his DNA, and the result is shocking. The clone, Romy, inherits Brain and Pinky's mannerisms but yearns for a life beyond world domination, and the mice learn to reconcile with their son's desires. 

Additionally, we'll be chatting about Bluey, Fun and Fancy Free, McCarthyism, The Muppets, and the ethics of cloning.

Tokyo Grows, That Smarts & Brainstem with Wimsie27 Oct 202201:24:12

In this episode, Mary Jo (Pines) and Kellie (Pluto) are joined by their special guest Wimsie to discuss the third episode of the Pinky and The Brain spin-off!

Yes, Always27 Apr 202201:14:11

We know a remote podcast on the internet, hosted by Mary Jo (Pines) and Kellie (Pluto). Every other week, a new episode grows there. 

Well lovely listeners, we finally arrived at one of the most memorable Pinky and The Brain cartoons. Join us, and our awesome returning guest Spencer (Coin), as we review and discuss the 12th PATB short Yes, Always. This episode ditches the typical world domination shenanigans and showcases The Brain having to complete some ADR work on a cartoon about peas, all while complaining about Pinky's direction. Join us as we discuss our favorite moments from Yes, Always as well as the ridiculous backstory of the episode's obscure reference and one poignant moment during the episode's production history.
