Episode 133 - MBSing with Kevin Budnik Redux - Nicktoons Holiday Specials

From the podcast

It's an MBSing holiday special as I welcome back Kevin Budnik 100 episodes later to talk about a very specific, festive corner of his original topic, cartoons. We cover a lot of ground (Catdog, As Told By Ginger, The Wild Thornberrys, Fairly Odd Parents, etc.), but we spend the most time dissecting Rugrats Chanukkah and the Christmases of Doug, Hey Arnold, and Rocko. My favorite part is not the nostalgia but how we view these specials as adults and the lasting themes they have for us. Kevin's got some fun insight as to more serious inspiration for certain silly storylines and a podcast of his own to share with listeners about fellow cartoonists and creators.
