MIDMEN - Episode 5 - Saturday Morning Cartoons & The Evolution of Animation

Grab your cereal and settle in—this week, the MidMen Podcast takes a nostalgic deep dive into the golden era of Saturday Morning Cartoons! We’re rewinding the clock to the 80s, reminiscing about He-Man, G.I. Joe, Transformers, The Smurfs, M.A.S.K., and more, and asking the big question: Do cartoons still hold the same magic today?

In this episode, we break down:

🕹 The 80s Cartoon Experience – Why these shows mattered, their cultural impact, and the toys that ruled our childhood.

📺 Cartoons We Love as Adults – From Rick and Morty to Invincible, how has animation evolved?

🎨 Does Art Get Better with Age? – How do we view cartoons differently as adults, and how do we pass that love on to our kids?

🧠 80s Cartoon Trivia Challenge – Test your knowledge of classic Saturday morning favorites!

🔄 Which Cartoon Deserves a Reboot? – If you could bring back one show, how would you do it?

Stick around for listener shoutouts, some deep-cut trivia, and our final thoughts on nostalgia vs. modern storytelling. Plus, we want to hear from YOU: Which 80s cartoon would you bring back, and why?
