Episode 171: Scooby-Doo: the Movie (2002)

Max, Mike; Movies

Now we come to the final episode in our “I Made From TV Love You!” series. And what TV show-turned-movie are we discussing? Wait, “Hello, Larry: the Movie”? That can’t be right! I thought so! This episode is wearing a mask! Let’s see who this movie really is! {rip!} All together: Old Man “Scooby-Doo: the Movie!” Zoinks and jinkies! Of course! This 1993 live-action version of the classic cartoon spawned in the late 60’s was trying to scare everyone away from this old roller disco rink so it could search for the hidden trove of Bumpybux buried somewhere inside! And it would have gotten away with it, if it weren’t for us meddling podcasters and our idiot pony! So, let’s not split up gang, but get yourself a Scooby Snack and give a listen to how this surprisingly enduring TV series, which has remained with us for over half a century, makes the transition to live-action. How bad could it be? I mean, Scooby-Doo has teamed up with the Addams Family, Batman, Josie and the Pussycats, the Three Stooges, Phyllis Diller, and Weird Al Yankovic; how bad could it be working with Hollywood? ….. Ruh roh . . .

Poll question: What sidekick, second banana, or flunky do you think deserves their own movie?
