Elwood City Limits Podcast

Hurricane Dorian and podcast ghosts from Oak Island can't keep ECL from another podcast....at least not this week! Will & Lucas swap hurricane stories before getting into the surprising TinTin parody "Fernfern and the Secret of Moose Mountain" and engaging in a measured discussion on snitching in "Thanks A Lot, Binky". All that, plus Arthur characters and The Office, wrestling (again!), and way more!

After an extended absence, Lucas & Will return to each other's company to kickstart season 8 of Arthur! It's all about the joys of connecting online in "Dear Adil", and the horrors of your mom breaking up with her boyfriend in "Bitzi's Breakup"...plus, the new Nintendo Direct, Stranger Things, and Lucas' take on the Buster sandwich!

Will is joined by previous guest DJ Bob to discuss the final (to date) Arthur music album, featuring all original songs! Find out which character gets featured thrice, which songs are worth seeking out, and which popular song they got DW to cover...

It's our third anniversary, so Lucas & Will have gathered together to sit down and watch Arthur's only foray into the world of CGI! The boys try their best to get through this weird curio, and Will surprises Lucas with a special gift... This is a full-length commentary track to be synced up with the movie. Arthur's Missing Pal can be found online rather easily. Thank you for 3 wonderful years of doing this show; if it weren't for you out there listening, we could never get this far!

It's time once again to look back at the season of Arthur that was, as Will & Lucas sit down to present their long-form thoughts on season 7, and present to you their top 5 episodes! Plus, Will reveals a special episode coming your way next week for our 3 year anniversary...

It's time to tackle one of Arthur's most infamous episodes...Lucas & Will return from their sojourns to New Brunswick to discuss "April 9th". It's a time to reflect on how this show about cartoon animals explored the issue of 9/11 just a year after it happened, and how trauma affects people differently, but there's also some fun thanks to a game of "Date Marry Dump", Elwood City's history with UFOs, and more...

The boys are back in town! Will & Lucas return from their absence and get down to brass tacks about Arthur's representation of disability in "Prunella Sees The Light", and have conflicting thoughts about aliens in "Return of the Snowball"! Plus, Passions (again?), Arthur and Fortnite, Blade, an Engelbert Humperdinck update, and Lucas gives his thoughts on the tragic arson of Kyoto Animation.

Lucas Moon-cini has returned from Chicago, and has tales of deep-dish and Hamilton to share! He and Willennium Young get into another Binky episode with "The World of Tomorrow" featuring Engelbert Humperdinck and Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow...then, in "Is There A Doctor In The House?", the fellas talk favorite chores, the Tom Sawyer cinematic universe, and Arthur at its most grim. All that, plus Faygo facts!

Lucas & Will wish you a happy Canada Day weekend wherever you are with this new episode! The boys wax nostalgic on 90's shopping malls in "DW's Time Trouble", and have perhaps their dumbest moment yet in "Buster's Amish Mismatch"...plus fictional butlers, character's tattoos, and yes, wrestling.

Will & Lucas gather for a pair of odd Arthur episodes...first, in "Pick A Car, Any Car", the boys give out about their car troubles, and watch Arthur reckon with nostalgia; then, in "Jenna's Bedtime Blues", they learn about nocturnal enuresis, and revel in plenty of pee puns. All that, plus Lucas' commentary on the NBA Draft, Car Talk, and does Will know anyone on the 2019 XXL Freshman List?

Will & Lucas are celebrating the centennial of their favorite town, and their own centennial (sorta), with the 100th episode of Arthur! The guys chat about E3 and Larry King, Lucas flexes his marketing degree, and does Fern like anime? Plus, listener's memories of the show...thank you for supporting us to 100 episodes, here's to the next 100!

Will sits down with former character designer for seasons 1-4 of Arthur, Rich Morris! Rich is an animator and designer with decades of experience on some very notable shows. He talks about his experience illustrating for Arthur and other Cinar shows of the 90s, plus working with Marc Brown, the secret origins of George, winning an Emmy, and what makes Arthur special...

Welcome to the first in a new series for the podcast, where we take a look at more recent Arthur episodes, and what better one to start with than the gay rat wedding? Viv from Arthur&BusterBFFL on YouTube joins Will to answer important questions: What does Will think of new Arthur? Do teachers eat kale and watch documentaries? And is ECL on the Arthur Wiki?

It's been a big week for our favorite show, and a lot to talk about! Will & Lucas first sink their teeth into the ongoing Arthur in Alabama controversy and the "issue" of Mr. Ratburn being revealed as gay...then the fellas chat with bad accents in "Ants in Arthur's Pants", and re-discover the show's coolest character in "Don't Ask Muffy"! All that, plus Lucas' NBA thoughts, fortune cookies, Hoprah Linseed, early 2000's pop culture, and more! 

Crown City, you're dynamite! Will & Lucas are in two places at once in "Francine's Split Decision" and talk bowling ball sizes while Lucas plays a round of Would You Eat It in hard mode...then, in "Muffy Goes Metropolitan", the fellas get help from Andy Warthog navigating...an actually good Muffy episode? All that, plus going viral, M. Night Shyamalan, Billy Dee Williams, and way more!

It's goin' down for real!
