Joey, Nathan and Kelly continue their discussion and review of the Animaniacs reboot. This time they talk about the fifth episode which features the segments: "Good Warner Hunting," "No Brainer" and "Ralph Cam." Listen to hear about all the references you may have missed and find out what the hosts of the Animanicast liked about this episode and what they really, really didn't like about it.

The Warners are being hunted by a Dr. Walter Grubb who takes Animaniacs collecting very seriously. He wants to add the Warners to his collection but the Warners are able to not only consistently evade him but make fun of his small feet as well. However what starts off as a fun tribute to classic Warner Bros cartoons of the past quickly turns into a dark explanation of what happened to the supporting cast of Animaniacs. It's an episode that brings up a lot of mixed feelings and the hosts of the Animanicast share what they liked and which things they have big issues with.

Brain gets into an accident after being chased by the Yakuza. When he awakes from a brief coma, he realizes that he can't remember his latest plan to take over the world. What follows is a plan that involves Edward Snowden, the NSA and a houseplant!

From a security camera we see what happens when Ralph falls asleep and the Warners face off against a vampire.

Joey, Nathan and Kelly continue their discussion and review of the Animaniacs reboot. This time they talk about the fourth episode featuring the segments: "Bun Control," "Ex Mousina" and "Bloopf." Listen to hear about all the references you may have missed and find out what the hosts of the Animanicast think about this episode!

The Warner Bros Studio is visited by salesman Dwayne Lapistol who is handing out bunnies. These "buns" get out of hand very quickly however and before you know it, they've taken over the studio! The Warners try to defeat Lapistol with a cool Anime sequence but end up having to call Australia to control the bun problem. This thinly veiled metaphor for gun control has a few humorous moments and an incredibly disturbing villain. But will the hosts of the Animanicast enjoy it? One of the Animanicast's Australian listeners, "yakkomon" explains some of the Austrailian references found in this episode.

Brain creates a son named Binary Rodent Artificially Intelligent Nanotechnology, or B.R.A.I.N. for short. B.R.A.I.N. helps Brain steal the crown jewels, but after he sees that his father's ego is getting in the way, he decides to remove Pinky and the Brain from the equation.

The Warners premiere a new app that appears to be parodying Quibi.

The Warners go up against a stuck up athlete named Nils Niedhart at the "Greek Games." Despite Nils' best efforts, the Warners are able to win all the gold medals after the Warners mistake the medals for chocolate coins.

In an episode calling back to the Red Scare of the 1950s, the Brain tries to take over Congress by outing everyone in the Capitol as a mouse! However an intrepid intern named Brie is able to put a stop to his McCarthy hearing tactics, forcing the Brain to retreat and hit the Washington Monument.

Joey, Nathan and Kelly continue their discussion and review of the Animaniacs reboot. This time they talk about the segments: "Warners Unbound," "How to Brain Your Dragon" and "Suffragette City." The segments featured in this episode lean more towards timeless themes, but will the hosts of the Animanicast cast their votes of approval or will this episode be cast down to Hades? Listen to find out!

It was a bad news week for the Animaniacs reboot. First there was a controversy involving Johnny Depp and then the Brain gave a number to an adult chat line. The hosts run down the embarrassing news headlines and offer some explanation as to what the writers would be thinking about when it comes to Johnny Depp.

The Warners are playing the part of Greek gods as they try to get back at Odysseus for splashing them with water. The trio can't seem to stop him until an orange cyclops (that looks and sounds like Trump) grabs Odysseus and treats him like a loofah. It's an amusing segment, but Joey thinks that it could have been a lot better if some roles were reversed.

Pinky and the Brain decide to train a dragon to do their bidding. Unfortunately the dragon is an aspiring actor. Will the Brain be able to successfully take over a kingdom, or will its bad acting get in the way?

Dot sings a song about the women's suffrage movement but then quickly starts singing about cartoon suffrage. It's a song that starts off promising and then quickly becomes a cartoon cameo fest. Find out what the hosts of the Animanicast think about this promising song that quickly ended up a disappointment.

The Animaniacs reboot has finally arrived and the hosts of the Animanicast can't wait to talk about it! Animaniacs returns with an updated theme song,  new songs with the Warners, and a new Pinky and the Brain segment. There's lots of references to discuss and some new things to enjoy. How many water towers will this all new episode get?

Steven Spielberg (as John Hammond) comes out to tell the cast of Jurassic Park that he's "reanimated" the Warners. The trio jumps around a bit before starting the new theme song.

The theme song is back but with new lyrics. Dot has wit and there are no lyrics about any new characters. The hosts talk about Dot not being referenced as cute in the song even though her cuteness is referenced in the series.

The Warners return to the lot with no explanation as to where they've been for the past 22 years. Nathan shares some theories. Two songs are sung, one deals with the Warners' need to be updated on the latest trends and the other deals with reboots. 

The Brain seeks to hypnotize the world using a hypnotic message on an internet video featuring the Brain dressed as a baby. But a video of Brain getting hurt repeatedly proves to be more popular. Will they be able to take over the world this time? No spoilers!
