  • Fantacular Cartoon Podcast

    Gina and Robert tolerate Ray while watching cartoons. There are hundreds of episodes. Mostly GI Joe, but they’ve dabbled in other shows. The Mortal Kombat episodes specifically are super entertaining.

    Everyone should put on their finest suit. Look themselves into the mirror, and subscribe to this wonderful podcast.

  • Hilarious!

    I found the podcast through my friend Hal Rudnick. He had Gina on one of his shows and she was delightful. I decided to check it out when I found out Gina went to the same high school as my wife. The 3 hosts are the perfect compliment to each other. I started from the beginning and am now up to series 2. Great job everybody! #GoLakers!
