When The Nerdy Show Network’s flagship podcast isn’t unloading on the latest geek news and happenings, we’re diving deep into super-specific discussions and interviews.

Across the network, one of our favorite topics of discussion has got to be animation. From the kind that's paired best with over-sugared cereal, to the kind that makes your shell-shocked 'Nam vet great uncle blush. Well, in this episode we send up a series that's been around since that great uncle of yours was slashing through the jungles: Scooby-Doo. For nearly 50 years Scoob and the gang have been run-cycling their way through one spooky situation to another across TV, films, comics, and really, every medium known to humankind if we're being thorough.

Join Cap, Doug, Jonathan from Wicked Anime, and Norbert Daniels Jr. of Saturday Morning Block Party as we dig through the gang's storied and sometimes sordid history. We explore the Hanna-Barbera history that led to the creation of Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, the cool and sometimes inexplicable crossovers, the new comic Scooby Apocalypse, and the series' crowning achievements such as the acclaimed Scooby-Doo! Mystery Incorporated. Whether you're down with the Doo, or have witness one unmasking too many, there's strange nerdy stories herein guaranteed to thrill and chill. Rikes!
