41:20 HELL YES, Tony Jay. Thank you for mentioning this brilliant voice actor. He was the guy in Beauty and the Beast who played the asylum keeper, he was freaking MEGABYTE on Reboot, and many other awesome roles including some in video games like King's Quest.

[@sneakyhobbitses8057]

I’ve said for YEARS that I wished you had a podcast! Can’t wait to hear more of your stories! Thanks for doing this, Jim! (And Billy!)

[@MTTT19]

These two are amazing!

[@KairuHakubi]

I love how Billy says Doug is him as a kid, Fry is him in his 20s, and now he's just Zoidberg and Farnsworth. I'm glad he rattled his bones in here for this interview though, he is still a joy.

[@ChuckyChickenCartoons]

Jafar was played by all American Jonathan Freeman lol what an amazing interview fellas :)

[@joshuarivera9675]

Jim cummings has a podcast?!?!?! Bruh i love his work i cant wait to watch rhe previous episodes!

[@michaelrafales2782]

Man. I could listen to you two going back and forth like this for hours. Thank you both so much!!

[@gregorykeithmorris3970]

That Scott Innes anecdote was disappointing. I love his Scooby (ironically, Frank later replaced him). Considering he was friends with Don Messick, you'd think Scott would've behaved better and set an example as a leading man. He's done a lot of work charities since then, so let's hope that's a sign he got a dose of the humble pie. At least you guys were surrounded by pros like Frank, B.J., Cam Clarke, Tara Strong and the late great Mary Kay Bergman, bless her memory. You both rocked in that film, incidentally. As the George Lazenby of Shaggys, Billy was an effective successor to Casey Kasem. Jacque's Cajun accent is the best one I've ever heard, your zombie Walla was really good, too. I'd say Zombie Island was an example of bigger names being properly utilized in animation. Adrienne Barbeau and Mark Hamill sure delivered the goods. Also, they were right for their roles. It made sense to have a scream queen partake in what was essentially an animated horror film, and Hamill has a knack for character parts. Sorry if I rambled. I'm just a hardcore fan of the project. Hoping you know how beloved it is. It's the Citizen Kane of Scooby movies.

[@CursedAshen]

I was a little confused during that part, would you be to explain it a little?

[@silenttakuza]

Yeah, Scott is good but I guess not a good person it seems.

[@HrvojeGrahovac]

Keep it up with this, Jim. This is good stuff

[@IDJmylife]

Thanks for existing Billy.

[@FIRSTNAMELASTNAME-zt4kf]

I'm gonna sound like a real dork but zombie island scared the absolute shit out of me as a kid. 😂

[@drew535]

That's just because it was scary good

[@alexandermcbryde2348]

Oh Shit!!! They bringing back Ren & Stimpy!

[@devernepersonal3636]

A frank welker interview would be so cool, since you all mentioned him. I looked around and it does not seem like he has done a full sit down interview.

[@michaelrafales2782]

I would love to hear an interview with Andrea Romano!!

[@alexpetrovich85]

btw Tony Jay and you guys are famous to me (and a bunch of us for what's that's worth! ;)

Legendary Futurama and Winnie the Pooh actors

I have an idea of what Billy was going to say about Tony Jay, but unfortunately he didn’t get to finish his thought. He vaguely tweeted about how Tony thanked him for calling out celebrity voice casting or something like that, but here it seemed like he was going to say something else. Did Tony have some sort of insight we might not commonly know about? Or were the words taken out of Billy’s mouth?

[@maximilianschmid9890]

"Burl Ives in The Big Country."

Why do you keep typing like that? Is it supposed to be a shtick?

[@MaestroDrake]

I hope Cree can drop by next.

[@derfun5949]

Anytime you hear a non-human voice in damn near anything, it's likely to be Frank Welker

[@Lilliecwalinski16]

That's right!! I'm glad to hear, Billy wanted to keep Bugs Bunny's voice, faithful to Mel Blanc's original!! Take it from, Tony Anselmo. Tony Anselmo knows!!🤣🤣

[@garyinthefrozen]

Now I know why Scott Innes wasn’t hired after those 4 Scooby Doo movies

[@silenttakuza]

Yeah, I always wondered why

[@danleonard3110]

Great ❤

[@behindthespook9735]

Tony jay was also frollo

[@OtterloopB]

The more people who learn about Tony Jay, the better. Tony had such an INCREDIBLE voice, oh my goodness. His voice is as recognizable as Sean Connery, Vincent Price, Paul Winchell, etc. And Tony brought such calculating patience and class to his villainous roles. Megabyte from ReBoot will always be my personal favorite performance from him.

[@KairuHakubi]

@@OtterloopB I say it all the time... _we only had one of those!_

[@ColinOfDaventry]

@@OtterloopB Hell yes Megabyte. Such a legendary role and performance from Tony Jay.

[@matthewsharman591]

Brilliant interview Jim, I saw on another comment this with billy was your 1st. It was great 👌. I wanted to ask that now Winnie the pooh has entered the public domain what do you think of them putting Pooh bear into horror films ie blood and honey, I think its terrible

[@ShowaRDMZeta]

My two favorite old farts farting it out is the best. ❤

[@alexpetrovich85]

Also Zoidberg is from the same planet as ALF; somewhere in the Catskills Galaxy...

[@alexandermcbryde2348]

I owned that movie!!! Comic Book the Movie

[@DoctorVadarWho]

I think Billy West does a very good Elmer Fudd

[@bletheringfool]

I could watch and listen to you guys for hours. Thats poor form from Scott Ines. I think he ended up burning a few bridges

[@DoctorVadarWho]

I hate when celebrities do voice overs when they have someone who can actually do it who is an actual voice actor look at Chris Pratt doing Garfield. I don’t like that. But sometimes one celebrity is the best choice like Robin Williams and Jeremy Irons?

Maybe it’s Netflix that they bought that old Julie Roberts movie that my mom name was in so maybe that’s the case I think it’s the Doug Walker very sneaky evil sometimes two people Doug Walker very sneaky and evil two people Doug is two people so just don’t think Justin should clean toilets for the rest of his life beneath him 💜

[@behindthespook9735]

Are you talking about Scott Innes. I've heard stories about him none of them good

[@behindthespook9735]

You both look great. Love the heck out of two.

[@sebastianortizramirez4430]

​@@behindthespook9735Say, What Stories have you Heard of Scott Innes?

[@crnkmnky]

I've never even heard of this man until today. I typed his name in here, and every single video has him claiming to be "the voice of Shaggy & Scooby & Scrappy." 🤔

[@maximilianschmid9890]

"Kleine Debi chuu chuu fram mj belowed MadTV. Jou'r soo craeszie..."

[@Tanooki20]

That’s the thing with working at Disney. They make you clean the toilets and put the soap away. Just busy work at Disney. Very. Stupid I think if they’re not interested. In me and my. Brother Justin we try. go to illumination instead, because Bob Iger is very pigheaded Bob Iger. He does. Since about. Marvel movies all day very pigheaded. Doesn’t see that animation is possible Bob Iger. Love you, Billy West. 💜

[@AlexReynard]

[goes to Behind The Voice Actors] [figures out who The Guy is they're talking about] Ah. THAT guy. Oh, that's amazing. The punchline is that, for 95% of his career, he has only done the same two voices, over and over and over. Poor dumb schmo.

[@henkew70]

Im only here for fry from futarama. So o who the fuck is Jim. And just google that guy and, holy shit. Im now in a KZbin rabbethole. Had no idea...

[@crnkmnky]

Glad you learned to put "some respeck" on Jim's name. 😤

[@LVL58Designs]

Talking about the actors coming in to do voices and they arent very good. I immediately thought of Chris Pratt. What a horrible performance that was. Going on and on and ON about how good and unique the voice was. It was an utter let down.
