What are the most prominent TV cartoons from your childhood?

You've heard it before: morning cartoons were everyone born before 2005's jam. Maybe you loved all the superhero character cartoons like Batman or Spider-Man, or preferred The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo or Looney Tunes, and later on you loved Rugrats, or perhaps you just only love the filth of South Park. Whatever it is, we have all been exposed to cartoons at some point, and childhood memories are often the fondest of memories, so we wanna talk about it.

Also this week: news roundup, including AMC Theaters taking on Universal Pictures over Trolls 2, Oscar rule changes, #EntertainmentContainment reviews extend to Netflix's Extraction, HBO's Bad Education, and new to VOD The Flood, new releases - YES! we do still have some - and the HO Teachable Minute.

What movie scenes make you laugh the absolute hardest?

Everyone has a slightly different sense of humor, so which movie scenes - in ANY MOVIE - do find the most hilarious? Are you a bit more refined with your tastes so you lean into Monty Python and the Black Knight's flesh wound? Maybe a little less so and prefer the wildly inappropriate antics of Bridesmaids or The Hangover? Surely you might be serious about Airplane and the like? Well on this episode of The Hollywood Outsider, we discuss the funniest movie scenes of all-time, including a Listener Top 10!

Also this week: our news roundup makes a triumphant return, we recommend a few items from our #EntertainmentContainment, and the HO Teachable Minute.

What are the most debated series finales on TV?

LOST, Dexter, How I Met Your Mother, Game of Thrones and more... Each of these shows have one thing in common and it's not just people dying. They each create a massive divide among fans, and also between fans and creators. This is specifically for TV shows that had an intended series finale rather than an abrupt, forced conclusion to the show.

On this week's episode of The Hollywood Outsider, we are joined by co-host of The Blacklist Exposed and 84 other TV podcasts, Troy Heinritz, to bring some passionate heat to the podcasting studio.

Also this week: where we stand on the movie theater experience, spoiler-free reviews of Stray Dolls and Faith Based, and the HO Teachable Minute.

Since many of us are stuck in quarantine, we decided to have a little fun and watch a movie people are talking about, Outbreak. But instead of the typical back and forth on the film, we watched it while recording our LIVE commentary. So either go off of memory or sync up your Netflix accounts, because this is our Outbreak Movie Commentary Track!

Who is the Best Anti-Hero in Television History?

An anti-hero or anti-heroine is defined as a main character in a story who lacks conventional heroic qualities and attributes such as idealism, courage and morality. Often, an anti-hero is unorthodox and might flaunt laws or act in ways contrary to society's standards. Who among those on TV does this best?

On this week's episode of The Hollywood Outsider, we return to one of our favorite segments as we decide, once-and-for-all, who is the BEST! Walter White, Dexter Morgan, Frank Castle (The Punisher), 24's Jack Bauer...the list goes on and on, but only can claim the title of "Best TV Anti-Hero"! We took a poll on our Facebook group to gather four of the eight in our latest Battle Royale and it's finally time to find out who is the winner.

Also this week: a news roundup, and spoiler-free reviews of Ozark season 3 and Tiger King.
