Elwood City Limits Podcast

Grab your favorite salty snack and check twice for green chips, because it's THAT episode! Lucas & Will go deep on this Arthur two-parter, with "The Chips are Down" and "Revenge of the Chip", featuring an unlikely, but amazing, character duo. Along with a litany of horrendous chip puns, the fellas discuss overrated and underrated episodes of the show, Barca loungers, Crazy Bones, Popular Mechanics For Kids, and more...plus, what is the "My Leg" of Arthur? And, a doozy of a philosophical question!

New year, new pod! Time to kick off 2018 with Lucas & Will as they make their way through two new Arthur stories. In "Background Blues", the boys discuss gold of a...1930's persuasion, what if Frozen was Anastasia, Shadowrun, and more; then, "And Now Let's Talk To Some Kids" drops the meta-bomb on us, a favorite background character gets a name, and an Arthur ship is...confirmed? Plus, bomb cyclones, Beyblades, and emails!

In this holiday season, we love nothing more than to give you a brand new episode! This week, "Arthur Goes Crosswire", and Lucas & Will are baffled; then, in "Sue Ellen and the Brainosaurous", the boys discuss Brain the villain, and perhaps the most underrated voice on the whole show. Plus, more Advent calendars, team projects, and would DW be into CrossFit?

This week, Anna from "Let's Talk Cartoons" joins Will to talk about an Arthur-themed episode of the classic kid's show, Reading Rainbow! Anna talks about the time she sent a book to Reading Rainbow, and her first childhood crush; plus, questions like, does Reading Rainbow still work today? What did Will want most as a kid? Plus, Arthur is HOW old?! Follow Anna on Twitter (@LionessGoddess), and read her cartoon reviews on Tumblr (Lets-Talk-Cartoons)!

It's a (dee)double dose of D.W. on the show this week!

Finally! Will & Lucas couldn't be more excited to talk about the first episode of Arthur season 3, including one of the most anticipated stories of the show... Buster is back in, er, "Buster's Back", and the boys talk Super Smash Bros Brawl, Osamu Tezuka, stereotypes, and more; then, in "The Ballad of Buster Baxter", they delve into Arthur's first musical episode, plus more on Monopoly and the Evil Bong movies! Plus, Lucas' thoughts on LeBron and Arthur, GSP, The Weekenders, and even more. It's a big episode for a big season!

Before we head into season 3, let's take a look at a special, requested "episode" of Arthur that you may have never seen! Writer and Arthur fan Susan Velazquez joins Will to talk about "Arthur's New Friend Andy", and cover topics including Susan's spec scripts for Arthur, the logistics of mint chocolate brussels sprouts pie, space parties, regional terms for soda, and "playdates" vs "hanging out"!  If you want to read Susan's recaps of Arthur and other shows, check her out here: http://www.agonybooth.com/author/susanvelazquez Follow Susan on Twitter! @susannprogress  

Another season of Arthur comes to a close, so here's a quick look at Will and Lucas' individual top 5 episodes of season 2, and their thoughts in general on the past 20 episodes. Plus, Lucas' top 5 movies of the year, and Will announces a Christmas present for you, coming this year!

Can you believe it? ECL celebrates its 50th (main) episode this week! Coincidentally, it's also the end of Arthur season 2, and what a way to wave it farewell...first, in "How The Cookie Crumbles", Lucas & Will gush about Super Mario Odyssey, talk cookies and parades, and even argue about Muffy! Then, in "Sue Ellen's Little Sister", it's egg salad sandwiches and the return of Fish Finder 6! Thank you so much for fifty episodes, here's to the next fifty...

BOO! It's the spookiest time of year, again, and Lucas & Will are ready to talk about all manner of scary and weird stuff....oh, and Arthur, too. In "DW's Name Game", the fellas discuss the Arthur "dream team" and Joe Budden; then, in "Finders Key-pers", they go down a hole about HD television, and just what the heck a key to the city is. Plus, horror anthology shows, and Lucas' Halloween plans!  (Apologies for the audio quality in this episode)

This week on the show, Will sits down with one of the show's first supporters, special guest Corban Garcia! It's goons galore in "Arthur vs. The Very Mean Crossing Guard", where the fellas talk about the joy of getting rides to school, and fooling your siblings; then, in the iconic "DW's Very Bad Mood", it's preschool pariahs, and more!

Another special guest graces the Elwood City Limits this week; all the way from YouTube, it's NitroRad!

It'll soon be time to go back to school, so before you get your books together, goof off with Lucas, Will, and everybody's favorite aardvark! Everybody's favorite know-it-all takes the spotlight in "Water and the Brain", with discussions on aquariums, the MVP of the Arthur universe, and more! Then, in "Arthur The Unfunny", the boys get into some washer toss, Will tells a really bad joke, and reminisce on INCA. Plus, a trio of awesome movies, and a dalliance into rap again!

Break out the tissues, because Lucas & Will are delving into one of the saddest moments in Arthur, and 90's cartoon, history this week! "Arthur's Faraway Friend" is all about Buster flying the coop, or as Lucas calls it, the "French goodbye"; then, in "Arthur & The Square Dance", it's lighter fare like OTPs, and a lengthy discussion on catgut! Plus, the 2017 eclipse, Kyle XY, and your emails featuring Guy Fieri, the Arthur movie, and more!

The podcast has turned one year old, and it's time to get serious (but not too serious), make friends, and hit the books! Lucas & Will talk about the difference between animals and "Funny Animals" with "DW's Deer Friend", and then reminisce about book reports and discover The Happy Hollisters in "Buster Hits The Books"! Plus, discussion on Katsuyori Shibata, D.C. traffic, Buster's weird voice in this episode, and Lucas' adventures in academia!

Don't call it a comeback, ECL is still going strong! The show returns this week with "DW Goes To Washington" and "Arthur's Mystery Envelope", where Lucas & Will talk about The 90's, Ginuwine (again!), Slick Willy, the politics of Dave Read, and getting called into THE OFFICE (ooooooo). Plus, Lucas' picks for new national anthems, and a big announcement from Will!

Yeah, yeah, get your references to the popular mid-2000s television show outta the way, because the boys are talking "Lost!", as well as Game of Thrones, Splatoon 2, getting lost, stayin' up late, and Arthur's anxiety. Then, it's "The Short, Quick Summer", with Slip n' Slides and getting your bean freaked! Plus, Will makes The List, and Lucas has a new favorite character!
