The Poitcast Podcast
Poitcast is a podcast dedicated to the beloved cartoon characters Pinky and The Brain.

They'll review each episode and discuss their favorite character moments, jokes, and pop-cultural references in addition to providing some trivia. Finally, each episode will receive a Narf Rating, a ten-scale rating system in which a One Narf Out of Ten is "I resent this" and Ten Narfs Out of Ten is "world-dominating"! Give a listen and help us spread the love for those funny little lab mice who want to take over the world!
Join Mary Jo (Pines), Kellie (Pluto), and special guest Calvin Brain in celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Steven Spielberg Presents: Pinky and The Brain!

It took a little over a year, but we finally made it! This is the last episode in which we'll cover every Pinky and The Brain segment from the original Animaniacs! Mary Jo (Pines) and Kellie (Pluto) will first run down the various cameos the mice appeared in throughout the show. Afterward, we'll review the crossover cartoons Pinky and The Ralph (in which Pinky tries to do something with his new cage mate) and The Pitter Patter of Little Feet (in which Brain disguises himself as a baby to access the Rockefeller fortune only to be in the care of the Hip Hippos). Finally, we'll discuss The Brain's Apprentice, a cute homage to The Sorcerer's Apprentice.

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.
