Poitcast - A Pinky and The Brain Podcast

Poitcast is a podcast dedicated to the beloved cartoon characters Pinky and The Brain. Join your hosts Mary Jo (Pines) and Kellie (Pluto) as they chronicle the evolution of the mice across the four shows they starred in; Animaniacs (1993), Pinky and The Brain (1995), Pinky, Elmyra, and The Brain (1998), and the Animaniacs Reboot (2020). 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!
