For nearly as long as there have been television cartoons, there have theatrical films based on those cartoons. This show dares to ask the ultimate question- what if a couple of grown adults actually sat down to watch all of these things? From the cheapo '60s Hanna-Barbera productions, to the even cheaper feature-length toy commercials of the '80s, to the "generic male lead on a road trip with a CGI woodchuck" movies of the modern age, we're watching every single American film based on TV cartoons, discussing them, and hopefully keeping a grip on our sanity.

In this episode, we discuss Robert Altman's flawed but fascinating cult classic Popeye. Does the Fleischer brand of cartoon comedy work in live action? Should Robin Williams and Shelley Duvall have been nominated for Oscars for this? What is the deal with Popeye's arms? hear the answers to these questions and more in this week's episode of Saturday Morning Cinema!
