Foodfight! – Dare Daniel Podcast Episode 84

“My friends come out to creep.”

Marketropolis stock boys Daniel Barnes and Corky McDonnell use their dog-tective skills to investigate the rancid animated feature Foodfight!. With its horrifying, half-finished visuals and an ensemble cast of sex predator corporate mascots, Foodfight! provides a steady stream of nightmare fuel.

Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss cartoon elephant torture, gay disco bats, Cinnamon Sleuth cereal and turd globs.

Why did Charlie dare Daniel and Corky to watch Foodfight!? “Long-time fan, first-time caller. I don’t think you’ve ever done an animated film meant for children before. So why not subject your delicate sensibilities to the steaming pile of creamy excrement that is Foodfight!, an assault on the eyes and ears and souls of all who dare.
