Conversation Parade: An Adventure Time Podcast – Infinite Guest Podcast Network

We’re five episodes in to the new season of Adventure Time, meaning John and Mike have plenty to talk about on the latest Conversation Parade. Mike has noticed that there’s been a lot of talk about trusting the process in some recent stories. He’s wondering if it’s the King of Ooo saying that or someone much higher up the pecking order. John has been thinking about dirt holes and how each of the five new episodes features dirt holes. Are they graves? Are they gardens? Are they some combination of the two? Plus, we talk to Adventure Time writer and voice of Root Beer Guy (and Dirt Beer Guy) Jack Pendarvis. He was a mild-mannered university professor in Mississippi when he got the call to join Adventure Time. Now he’s a mild-mannered cartoon writer who still lives in Mississippi.

A new season of Adventure Time looms on the horizon and Conversation Parade hosts John Moe and Open Mike Eagle are here to share their thoughts on what may be to come. What’s the deal with the Mushroom Wars? What’s going to happen as a result of the political turmoil in the Candy Kingdom? Our special guest this week, unlike all weeks thus far, is someone who does NOT work on Adventure Time either behind the scenes or into the microphone. Our guest is singer/songwriter Neko Case, who, besides being a popular musician, is a huge Adventure Time fan. She has some thoughts on Finn’s dad and his parallels to her own life.

We all know that Finn and Jake are heroes on Adventure Time. Well, Finn anyway. But wherever there are heroes, there are sure to be villains. And the Land of Ooo is full of villains. Hosts John Moe and Open Mike Eagle count down their top five baddies, which include some very unexpected characters. Where will The Lich rank? How about Orgalorg? Will the Hooligans Who Love Candles make the list? And who lands the top spot for Mike and for John? Plus, Mike talks to veteran Adventure Time supervising director Elizabeth Ito about the unique dialogue and vocabulary of the show as well as her favorite joke she managed to get into the show. It involves Mr. Cupcake.

For such a tiny elephant, Tree Trunks sure stirs up some big emotions. In this episode, co-hosts Open Mike Eagle and John Moe take up opposing sides in regard to the Land of Ooo’s most beloved/notorious apple pie baker. Why does John overlook TT’s selfishness? What celebrity chef does TT remind Mike of? Also in this episode, a closer examination of the Evergreen episode, a recent episode that is the earliest show yet in terms of the Adventure Time timeline. Plus, Adventure Time’s Head of Story Kent Osborne fills us in on how a story idea becomes an Adventure Time episode. He also explains how he, an actor who made a movie with Matt Damon, Ben Affleck, Brendan Fraser, and Chris O’Donnell, ended up making cartoons.

On this episode of Conversation Parade, co-hosts Mike Eagle and John Moe ask whether Fionna and Cake are just characters in Ice King’s fan fiction or real characters he sees through his wizard’s eyes, and they talk about about the extent to which dealing with the Ice King is like dealing with someone battling addiction. Plus, Olivia Olson, the voice of Marceline the Vampire Queen, tells us about the upcoming 8-part series “Stakes.”
