[@Tiamiabia]

Over the garden wall is everything. I love it and got my kids into it. We randomly bust out singing “oh potatoes and molasses”

[@hannahappa]

We need to talk about avatar the last airbender please - and like just more animated shows in general I’d love it personally

[@giadiana4881]

BEST CARTOON EVERRR. My multiple tattoos can back that up 😂

[@lecherouslibrarian9924]

These shows literally shaped my generation.

[@zoeylong5081]

The problem is…ATLA is not a guilty pleasure.😔 It’s perfection!🤩

[@hannahappa]

@@zoeylong5081 very true

[@pauleendiamond4974]

I NEED them to do this show! But I wouldn’t want them to do the whole show in one episode cuz there’s so much to talk about for just an hour… one season = one episode?? Too much?

[@claudia.e]

They are half brothers. Wirt sings "we are related cause my mom remarried and then gave birth to him with my stepdad"

[@R.444-]

Genuinely blurted this out loud to myself IMMEDIATELY like a disgruntled middle aged dad yelling “awwww fumble!!!” at sunday night football

[@NerdyGeisha]

Also, Garrick, as an animator, I'd love to hear you gush about more cartoons and also need to hear about your top anime pleaseeeee 👁️👄👁️ it's such a joy to hear y'all talk about animated shows! Update: wow, thanks for the likes everyone! hope they'll gush about more animated films in 2022 🧡

[@huh5195]

As a non-animator, I'd also love to hear Garrick talk more about animations as a whole!

[@jessicaclakley3691]

You’ve gotta be stoked with the most recent episodes lol

[@aries4alexs]

The way Garrick talked about this show was so compelling that I literally paused this podcast halfway through to binge the whole show on Hulu so that I could finish the pod without any more spoilers. These streaming services should really sponsor y'all!!

[@deprecious2921]

Not to argue but you don't have to be high and it's a comfort show when you're depressed lol

[@danicaaustria4146]

Oh yeaa. Watched this last year and wasn't in a really good place and didnt really find wonder in most stuff i previously enjoyed anymore but this one genuinely gave me joy and made me want to get back into the stuff iw was into. It just gave me such a sense of wonder w the way it was animated and the story was told

[@nssmdo]

are we forgetting about how many people are comparing Over the Garden Wall to Dante's Inferno? I love how much darker it makes this cartoon.

[@margot7048]

That’s actually what it was based around they spent 10 years making the show

[@bingbongalong]

yeah sooo many parallels, I learned about that from a video essay called Over the Garden Wall is Dante's Inferno

[@debbienehikhuere]

YES IM GLAD THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS CN EVER MADE TO PUT THIS ON THE AIR!!!!

[@laurawestenra]

Bowie curled up, snuggled on Garrick's lap embodies the wholesome coziness of "Over the Garden Wall".

[@apontaoe]

Y’all didn’t cover it and I didn’t see anyone in the comments talking about it either, but it’s also a FABULOUS adaptation/interpretation of Dante’s Infero!

[@claudskal37]

Garrick is the most patient person having to deal with these two.!!! Every time they asked him to take the floor, he said 3 words and they were talking over or making it about themselves.!!!!

[@elisetamara3009]

lol okay i thought i was the only one that noticed! because tbh he barely get any of his thoughts out. and because he dont get to say nothing they cant fully appreciate it

[@sofiaarango1492]

also the voice of auntie whispers is Tim Curry

[@iPancake3]

I'm so glad Garrick is around to represent animation fans

[@ashley_pineda]

thank you garrick for forcing kelsey & zach to watch over the garden wall! 🥺 watched this mini series back when they first released it & has been one of my favorite series ever since! (my friend & i were even greg & wirt that halloween 🥺) loved hearing ur opinions & especially just hearing garrick just explaining his pleasures of the show & just going in depth with it!

[@celesteorozco5265]

This is one of the most beautiful shows I’ve ever seen. The same warm but also dark feeling of a ghibli movie and I do agree that it isn’t for everyone but it makes me so so happy that they’re talking about it because no one in my friend group watches it so this fills me with joy. I feel like I’m talking about with friends

[@adriennelovesbatman]

OKAY I had to stop watching mid-podcast because this show sounds so interesting and I wanna watch!! I’ll be back when I’m done lolol

[@campbellcollier2079]

This is the EXACT conversation I wish I could have with my friends who don't understand animation

[@taytay71777]

Stopped the podcast when they said spoilers were coming and went to watch and LOVED IT!! Now back here listening to the rest of the podcast! Ready to tell everyone about this! Happy y’all introduced it to me! :)

[@helloitsali.]

i am so happy to see this show being talked about!! this has been a tradition among my friends from elementary/middle/high school to watch this every october for spooky season complete with a potatoes and molasses sing a long

[@thebirdking3605]

How did I miss this for 11 months.................... literally my favorite show!!!!

[@laurawestenra]

Elijah Wood has the most sublime manners of probably anyone in the world. He is so kind-hearted and sincere.

[@flowerb.tch05]

FUN FACT! The reason all the backgrounds are stills is bc most of them are postcards from the late 19th and early 20th century

[@emimizobuchi5823]

I love, love, love Over the Garden Wall! I actually got goosebumps when they started talking about the reveal in Ep. 9 😊👻💚

[@MadameTrashHeap]

Over the Garden Wall is one of my comfort series. It just feels so cozy.

[@anniemagan8917]

Zack could totally play Wirt or Greg. He is the perfect mix of those two

[@Basidiobabe]

FINALLLYYYYY OMFG over the garden wall is the BEST! So excited for this 🙌

[@paolamunoz37]

Over the Garden Wall is one of the best, if not the best modern US animations!

[@warrenelkins1861]

So it's a second rate anime

[@LesleyMtz28]

I’m a big cartoon/animation fan, so as soon as I saw the promo for Over the Garden Wall I knew I had to watch it. I LOVED IT. Showed my bf, HE loved it! Now we have an inside joke with the line “Oh, I didn’t know that. Did you know that if you soak a raisin in grape juice, it turns into a grape? It’s a rock fact!”

[@tryingtothrive157]

Stopped the podcast 10 mins in. Watched the whole thing. Came back and enjoyed this episode even more 😊

[@elizawoods7819]

dang i wanted them to talk about the whole cloud scene in episode 10 which made me feel as if i was tripping

[@Mike90317]

This is a nice episode. It would be great to have every now and then an episode about something the others recommend the group to watch.

[@nichtzilchdt]

Everybody looks good but I can’t help but look at Bowie the whole time. He’s such a beautiful boy!

[@indiecloud100]

Yesss, Garrick coming in with the hits

[@cbgb14]

I've seen OTGW so many times that I unconsciously recite every line while falling asleep to it.

[@happyaccidentsmp]

My toddler watches the whole series at least 2 times an month, loved it when it came out and connects my siblings with the catchphrases, also the boys are half siblings

[@vinnyl1893]

None of them payed attention, they are half brothers not step brothers!

[@lassoroot]

🙄 you're fun

[@vinnyl1893]

@@lassoroot thank you!

[@drewn8673]

during the conversation, i literally zoned out and imagined each cartoon character with you guys talking. all 3 of you could be voice actors!

[@destinymormance181]

I'm literally sitting here contemplating if I should finish the last 15 minutes of the podcast or if I should go watch the show first and then come back lmao

[@rochchan4145]

You should definitely watch ittttt. It's so gooddddd

[@addisonmay23]

That's what I did! And here I am 5 days later, a better person. Lol

[@roniyes1015]

You guys should definitely try out infinity train or owl house!! They are both very interesting cartoons that I feel like you guys would enjoy :-)

[@ninaexmachina]

I would die for an owl house episode

[@peachynene3447]

An owl house episode would be amazing

[@13Pgil]

Y’all should watch infinity train next 👀👀 plzzz yall will love one-one

[@catemcd5606]

One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched

[@emilyf4178]

I’ve never seen this, so I went and watched the first three episodes after listening to the pod on Spotify and just wanted Garrick to know that I love it and it gives me Owl Houses big sibling vibes

[@NerdyGeisha]

I'm so so excited for this episode! Loved watching it as it came out on ctn-- plus, my illustration professor in college worked on the show so it was really cool to see that too!

[@aloneortogethr]

I've been waiting for this. I rmb watching this when it came out in cartoon network

[@madivanzile8703]

The best show ever made. Period.

[@sulsulsunday432]

Yessss, love that you’re talking about this! We’ve started watching this show every year around Halloween. Perfect spooky vibes

[@ihaveaquestion3962]

Bowie peacing out at the booger talk was almost me lmao

[@sarai.6260]

I have to thank you so much for introducing this show. I actually stopped watching the episode just so I could watch the show without being spoiled. So perfect!!!

[@ayla6118]

Let’s also not forget the cartoon is based off of Dante’s inferno👀

[@kelbimckinley8042]

It's been over a year and I know no one will see this, but I NEED to know how Miles felt about the show. Also, I think they would really like The Hollow on Netflix. Maybe just S1, but I would love to hear them talk about it

[@gracenaumann7914]

can we please talk about Zach's pants? Respect.

[@nancythomas5387]

We're in a cold snap, and I was just thinking how warm and comfortable they look! They might be light and cool....but they LOOK so cozy!

[@sausagebased]

Love OTGW, love Guilty Pleasures, but most of all I love that y'all brought up that Garrick MADE VIN DIESEL LAUGH because he did and that's awesome

[@analazo3123]

Bowie is living his best life! More episodes with the gorgeous Bowie! Also, great episode, guys. I'm gonna watch this now

[@hopelessromantic3786]

Ed Edd and Eddy is what led me into watching cartoons as an adult. Something about the animation style really got me.

[@veronicareilly7112]

Love how Bowie is just curled up asleep.

[@mattieyoncha6243]

This podcast convinced me to watch the series and I loved it. But aren’t they technically just brothers? They have the same mom but different dads. So they’re half brothers not step.

[@nicolemontana7347]

i’ve never heard of this mini series but i’m def going to be checking it out!!!

[@PrettyGuardian]

Listening to Zach talk about this show is the most darling thing in the world and I would listen to him tell me about all of his favorite animations forever.

[@melirose89]

You guys should do To Wong Foo. That movie is absolutely hilarious

[@heloisaguedes9930]

That’s my anual October watch and I love it so much there is no Hallowing without it that’s the spooky stuff I love so so so much

[@lindawu1611]

I love this conversation on not only the story but animated shows/cartoons in general. It doesn't get enough credit

[@paulinasrr]

I dressed up as Greg for Halloween I am READY for this

[@Chantaya]

I loved this show. I watched it when I was at university. It was completely different from what I expected.

[@poisondarts]

56:16 Zach I think you meant to say...worryWIRT

[@kloudchild]

I finally watched this last year around this time. It’s my new tradition to watch it every fall. It is the perfect show to watch as you’re winding down or on a crispy and cozy day. It’s very inspiring as a writer and a creator and it ticks off all the boxes I love in any movie or animated show which is subtlety, stillness and nuance. Glad to see y’all talk about this one and definitely want to know more about Garrick’s taste in cartoons✌🏾

[@mollyross888]

ALSO ALSO tim curry is auntie whispers, john cleese is quincy endicott, and fred stoller is fred the horse!!!!! impeccable casting all around

[@nicologeronimo3944]

Finally something I watched before an episode

[@Andrew-ew7ii]

Thank goodness someone is talking about this show it is a MASTERPEICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@rosalindd5797]

Over the Garden Wall is EVERYTHING

[@tyesativa]

Garrick is so beautiful. also HUGE Adventure Time fan and I'll watch this bc of that reason alone.

[@Nova_Grave]

Now it's time to watch infinity train and cry it's a perfect show

[@aictopus]

Omg I've never expected you all to talk about one of my favorite cartoons!

[@floidee]

I wish I have a Garrick and Kelsey in my life. I'm a woman but for some reason I resonate more with Zach. Anyhow, Love you guys! A solid fan of the show over here. Loves animations a bunch. I think it's the best genre there is. You guys should check out Midnight Gospel in Netflix. It's like being high while you're sober.

[@mygirl737g2]

I paused this episode and went and watched this and it was amazing, as Zach said, I feel richer for having seen it.

[@DancingCacti]

This is one of my favorite shows ever. I watch it every fall!! I'm so happy to see y'all talking about it!!! It's soooooo good!

[@sanskritigupta7980]

Now we have to see so many cartoons!!

[@MmeFrankenstein]

I would love these three to do an episode/podcast where they ramble of any and all movies. Like all the movies that won't get an entire hour dedicated to. I can listen to them ramble and go off all the time lol Honorable mentions! That's what it could be called haha

[@LG_Hakubi]

Just dropping support here but will listen in my car. This series is A+. Also cover more cartoons yall, there are definitely divisive movies and short series out there

[@tiffm8876]

I love over the garden wall and I’m so thankful people know what it is. Everyone I talk to doesn’t know what the show is😭 I love it so much

[@SuperTrigonman]

I love this so much, I absolutely love Over The Garden Wall so much and I just love hearing people talk about it!

[@holly1883]

Thank you so much for talking about this masterpiece! There’s nothing wrong with this show and i think everyone should watch it!

[@lady_kluck]

I watched this cartoon only because you guys said you were going to talk about it in a previous podcast and at first I was like hmmm but by the end, I was loving it and now think about it at random times. It was a definite good watch!!

[@Brenda-hi7rl]

I love over the garden wall

[@starlight4396]

- Xmas = Anna and the Apocalypse, Happiest Season, A Princess for Christmas (in the theme of cheesy rom-coms, but Katie McGrath is amazing!) - Thanksgiving = Alice’s Restaurant (1969) - Shows = She-Ra, Wynonna Earp (you could probably get Emily Andras on!), Doom Patrol - Movies = Princess Bride + She’s the Man (now that you guys are doing “perfect movies” as well)

[@DakoOfTacos]

So cool to see em talk about this series, never expected it but a very welcome surprise, especially since this year I dressed up as Enoch (the large pumpkin man) for Halloween so I felt seen, haha. Also just love hearin thoughts on cartoons

[@madelmine69]

they're half brothers, not step brothers!!!!!

[@HoustonWadeCompton]

kelsey discovering castrati is hilarious

[@hilarygladstone6037]

It stays with you. I really enjoyed it. The twist was unique!

[@JayGigantic]

Guilty Pleasures making me realize I haven't seen as many films as I thought I had 😅 That heads up would be great so I can watch before the episode releases.

[@babyl3]

Zach could easily be Ron Stoppable

[@sharebear9165]

Also please discuss Bojack

[@snakebabei]

i binge watched the show today so i could watch this and it did NOT disappoint

[@laurenlambie5213]

I want nothing more than the relationship Garrick has with Bowie

[@Feefbeef]

Not the King of the Hill slander. That show is a masterpiece, they better put some respect on Mike Judge’s name.

[@kalikoveena5206]

Elijah Wood also plays Spyro the dragon in the early - mid 2000's videogames and it is hilarious

[@madelinestevens2602]

i’ve been waiting for this for SO LONG

[@emmyemu33]

Love them talking about Bowie hahaha.

[@Quiteinfamous]

I’m going to need Garrick to voice all the cartoon carmerassss

[@kiaharden5366]

Don’t mean to be aggressive but that show is so intense and in depth. The last episode goes crazyyyyyyyyyyy

[@FramesPerSecond]

Does Kelsey know what coming full circle means? Because she says it for everything🤣
