I think this might be the most enjoyable time I've ever had to be the most enjoyable time I've ever had on animation dance. Oh, really? Just saying. Just saying. It was a good time. It was such a good time. I enjoyed myself, you fucking idiot. Oh, welcome to Animation Damn Nation, everybody.

I'm Andrew Jupin alongside Steven Sadek and Eric Siska. We are talking about an episode of Speed Racer called The Car Hater, which originally aired in the States, December the 15th, 1967. Now, this is one of the viewer writing in and requesting things. So, Steve, you've got the email there. We call it Listener Request Month, actually. Oh, yeah. So, wait, this guy listens to the show?

And then it turns out he requested something. Oh, he requested this. Yeah. We don't have a post office, so we post a P.O. box. Right, we do not. We all hate movies at gmail.com. But don't write in a request now. No, no.

It's way over. we'll let you know when we do it again. But also, thank you so much everybody. We got a ton of twice as many responses we got last year. A lot of AD requests. And I just filed these away. Like, I think, you know, especially like the shows that I never heard of before are so much fun. A lot of cartoons I've never heard of on this, which is great. This is actually, and I think this is all around the horn, the first speed racer cartoon I've ever seen. Oh, yeah, me too. I'd never seen it. I saw that Wachowski's movie.

I haven't seen that either. Oh, that's a real fucking green time, man. Let me tell you. Okay, so this is from Amit in Tel Aviv. Well, hey guys, I'm pretty sure I already wrote this in once in a general listener request months, but I think you guys must watch the car hater episode from the old Speed Racer cartoon from the 60s. It's available on YouTube in full, but it's also available on Hulu, which is how I watched it. Yeah, by the way, this whole series is on Hulu, so Get Cracken. It includes a short segment at the beginning explaining what the hell Speed Racer's supercar is, then a short bit of street racing that doesn't relate to the race.

rest of the episode. And then the middle of the episode is about a guy on horseback who has sworn vengeance against all cars after his son died in an accident. And his struggle to keep his daughter from racing in a race car by causing a ton of horrible accidents. You guys should totally watch the episode, even if you're not going to do an episode on it, since it's a legit fun to watch and the voice acting is worse than ever. Keep the good work. Amit from Tel Aviv. Well, Ahmed, not only are we going to watch it, we're doing an episode on it because this is crazy is that what this is? Oh, this is an episode

that was requested and we're doing it. Dude, lay off the pipe man. It was what was it, a tail pipe? You're sucking exhaust. I've been exhausted all morning. So like Amit tells, and I mean again

Andrew, you watch the pilot, did they even go into this much detail as to what the car is in the pilot? They're not in this way. Like this is like the Mach 5 steering column says that If you press this button, it does that. This button. And I was like, man, this is like 20 episodes of the series run.

Like, the pilot starts with like, he's not yet a racer because like, you know, pop a racer doesn't want him involved in it and blah, blah, blah. You don't have any of the reveal yet about like Racer X and all that stuff. But it's basically just like, I work for this car company. I don't want my son racing, blah, blah, blah. But this, 24 some odd episodes into it, it's like press A. and this happens to the car. Press B, if you need to go underwater and this shit happens.

It's like we've been fighting villains in Gotham for a long time. Hey, you ever wonder how the, what this Batmobile can do? Well, I kind of, I've already seen it. Yeah, I guess the things you can do, it has like a pogo stick that comes in handy a lot. That's probably the most used function. It's got a drone as well, I guess. Wait, it sends a little thing out? Yeah, it does.

Oh, interesting. There's a bulletproof shield Like the Popemobile I think used to have Yeah it can go underwater It can fly it's kind of like a Mega Man vehicle It can turn into a spaceship He's got a tractor beam I'm imagining

There's a suicide mode where it boxes you in And then an explosion happens But the explosion is contained within the box That's always good when someone steals your car You can get the murdered dot on So we start off with speed and Trixie's driving

the Monk Five. Trixie's his girlfriend. Correct. Which I thought was his sister for half this episode and really confused me because I never saw the show

before. Oh, it's a girlfriend. Why is he kissing his sister? Oh, this is getting good. They could be like Lannisters. Yeah, you don't know. You don't know.

It's all back to Game of Thrones with you. Oh, yeah. It's a sexy show. And then some like hillbillies. They're driving. They're driving really fast. And, you know, he's like,

speed's like, hey, Trixie, put your foot on the brakes. The speed limit's only 80 in this town. Well, that's Europe for you. Yeah. I think there's supposed to be somewhere in Europe. Really? Not Asia or?

No, well, the thing is they travel around the world doing all these races everywhere. So it's not like, it's not stuck in Asia. It's not one location. Yeah. No. Yeah, oh, yeah, they're driving fast. They're going everywhere. And these yokels come up behind.

him. Dude, Oh my God. Beatis and Ray. These guys are ready to fucking kill this couple. That's what it is.

This is what they do. Yeah, exactly. It's like, oh, come on, Paul, here it comes. We've got another sandwich coming up. And they're dressed like

like an archie nightmare, you know? Like the gang from Riverdale that's going to murder you. Lousy Riverdale punks. All other characters aside from the main cast who are actually like character design

are like monsters. Like they're at the past. proportions are totally off. They're all fun house mirrors. A lot of barrel-chested people in this world. And yeah, this, they're trying to run them off the road. It's like the prologged like a fucking wrong turn sequel. And they do and they get out.

We're going to get you, boy. You're that pretty little girlfriend of yours. And they run them off the road and they're like, you, you really stepped in it now, boy. And then they're like, oh, wait, it's the mock fox. They recognize the car. But first they're like, let's smash up this car. Let's smash it. Let's smash it.

And then they're like, oh, it's the Mach 5. Oh, it's Speed Racer. We're your biggest fans. Speed Racer needs to be like, oh, really? Because you were about to fucking murder me. The thing is, go fuck yourself. Yeah. I mean, but Speed Racer knows he's in a little bit of troubled waters,

and it's good to have a friend in just like, let's gloss over the fact that you were. trying to murder me and just be like oh okay yeah it's nice to see you fans by the way his little brother

and their monkey friend always hang out in the trunk of this car like they sneak in to be on adventures these kids are dead unless there's like this kid and this monkey

who's weirdly dressed like this kid yeah it's creepy this is my twin monkey brother I came out a boy but he came out a monkey you figure it out

like it's either the father's doing it And he needs to go to jail. Or this kid needs to, like, be sat down and told what values are. We don't dress monkeys as people, all right. So we go to this, like, soda shop where SpeedRacer is regaling these gentlemen with all these tales of how great it is to be fucking Speed Racer. And these guys are eating it up. Sure.

And then so, like, I guess, I don't know, it's sort of like the mafia. There's, like, gangsters also in this soda. shop. Yeah, I think it is the mob. They're kind of, I mean, it's, oh, look at that guy over there. They're like wearing big pinstripe suits and shit. Yeah, they're taking a offense that Speed Racer is talking

about racing, I guess being a cool guy. Well, because this one guy in the mafia is like, say, I used to be a competitive racer, but I'm not anymore, so I hate it. So let's kill this kid. By the way. What a dangerous

world? This world of speed. racers. Why are so many people racers, former racers, and like aspiring racers? There's no baseball. There's no football. It's all car racing. I think it's like an alternate earth where like the only

activity or profession has to be something involved with racing cars. Like it's NASCAR, there's Formula 1, you know, all sorts of shit. Right. But it's the only thing we do. We develop new car technology. Deals are brokered between nations regarding car

technology. It's a whole thing. It's the international pastime. No more baseball, no more soccer. That's right. It's the new worldwide sport like soccer used to be. Car racing is a global entity. Which car racing is a global entity in real estate? This is

the only thing the world has. And Speed racer makes short work of them because he's like awesome at everything. He can kick some ass in this show. What I love about this is one of these mobsters wants to bash a chair into Speed racer's face, but then he, but then like Speed Racer turns one of the other mobsters towards him. So he smashes a chair into his friend's face. This is nuts. This is like

history of violence level stuff. Yeah, exactly. He's just like sucking air afterwards. It's like a big bloody gage. There's just teeth on the floor. And I mean, he makes short work of them. And outside there's this girl named Janine because it's the 1960s and we're Americanizing this it's like whatever her name was in the show she's Janine now Oh, yep, you better believe it

You go find me a Janine in Japan So Trixie goes out there And because she's tired of hearing Speed Racer just fucking blow himself Well yeah because you beat the shit out of them and they're like Oh wow speed you did a great job Oh that's fantastic rob and he's like yeah I know, I'm going to talk about this other time.

Yeah, it reminds me of this other time I was in a different soda shop and beat up these other dudes. And she's like, whatever, I'm going to go outside and see what's going on in your car. And so Janine's out there like, say, is this the mock five? Everybody recognizes this fucking mock five, man. And she's like, you know, I want to be a race car driver myself one day. That'd be fun. She's like, oh, that's a really good idea. You should do that.

And she's like, but my father hates race cars and hates all cars. And she's like, wait, what? Yeah, back up a second. What did you say? And then this fucking asshole on a horse comes by. Oh, my God. Holy Christ, man. Like a three-piece suit on a horse?

It's terrifying. And he's built like Dan Rather. This guy's enormous. Is Dan Rather enormous? I don't know. I guess he's boxed. He's built like a built big man, you know? Dude, he's like the fucking governor from walking dead.

Just a besuited man on a horse. And he's got this horse whip, right? And he's like, Janine, what are you doing by these cars? I told you, I hate cars. I can't even talk to cars. And she's like, wait. No, you can't talk to cars. But I can talk to my horse and he talks back, you know.

This is a bunch of bullshit. And he starts whipping the mock five. He's like, I hate this car. I'm going to destroy it. I'm just going to destroy it with my leather whip. And she's like, dad, stop. You're embarrassing me. And like, this guy needs to be put away.

Jump Street from Go before he could do any more harm to himself If someone's on a horse in a metropolitan area with a whip Whipping cars he's a danger to himself and others Oh absolutely put this guy down He put him into the booby hatch At very least this guy belongs in the booby hatch And speed comes out And he's like hey hey man what the fuck are you doing

This is a billion dollar car Wait are you whipping it from a horse He's like, okay. He's like, I have the best, why do you hate cars, man? He's like, I have the best reason for hating cars. I'll do you one better than that. My son was killed in a car accident.

Oh, I'm so sorry. That's so sad. He's like, yes, it is. That's why I'm going to whip your car. He also says, all cars are weapons on wheels. Yeah, all cars. That's a weird thing that I just forgot. But in the beginning, like after the theme song,

which, by the way, in the opening theme song number, yeah, which is a awesome. Yes, love the theme song. It's the same thing in every episode. Speed just murders somebody because they're on the race. Oh, is he racing away from his crimes? They're in a race and like he bumps cars and whatever. And this car shoots out of the race track and there's a massive explosion. He like runs into a gas factory. Dude, you know what? That's it. You strap in. You've given your life up. So whatever happens on the road happens on the road. Exactly. But this episode starts. with a quote from that dude. It's that thing about

like, well, technically all cars are weapons and they shouldn't exist. And I was like, where's this episode going? Because I went in totally cold. Yeah. And I was like, when then that dude says it, I was like, oh, the quote from the beginning. Well, that's useless to put there. And, you know,

he kind of talks him down and he's about to say, oh, I'm speed racer. And then he thinks better. He's like, this guy might kill me. You know what I mean? Oh, he finds out I'm a professional racer. I'm doomed. He's like, oh, no, I just work at my dad's factory. He's like, well, that's fine. Teneen, I'll see you at home.

Click, clock, click, clock, click, clop. It is so weird to see a guy ride a horse in the city like this. And we see cops ride horses in Manhattan all the time. And that's fine because it makes sense. But if I saw a regular guy on a horse. It's not for, like, the cops are there on the horses, but it's not for transportation. No, yeah. It's not because they hate cars.

It'd be great if all the NYPD hated cars. But I think it's got to be illegal To just be on a horse in the city Unlicensed Yeah I don't think you can just ride a horse Around a metropolitan area There's this one scene right now Where he goes and like

He's in the middle of a traffic jam And cars are at like all angles And he's in the middle like Get these cars out of my way Dude it's like a Twilight Zone fantasy sequence Like we know this character hates cars He's on his horse And then you just see this traffic jam

And he's like cars Cars cars Cars! Cars! Maybe there wouldn't be as much traffic If you weren't riding a horse Right down the street Yeah, you're making people rubber neck And this guy gets out

He's like, you freaking crack pot And he's like, yeah, whatever man I hate cars That guy's right That guy's right He's absolutely well the weird thing is like The best part about this episode Is I think the animation

And the driving is really good Like that's the one thing they really get And that's what you want in Speed Racer Didn't figure out horse animation that well Because he's just like, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck. Yeah, thank God there's only one horse in this episode.

It's a one horse episode. And we kind of cut to Speed's car shop there. They're fixing it up. He's got some other brother who's kind of useless, I guess. Yeah, it's a teenager or something. Yeah, in the Wachowski's movie, this person is a friend. But I think in the cartoon, it's supposed to be another brother.

Yeah. But they don't acknowledge it really. He's like his pit crew or whatever. And he sounds like he's from fucking Brooklyn, by the way. Well, everyone's doing that. He's like, aye, occult buckle, uncle, you know, it's this weird, like, 1960s, like, jazzy kind of. Well, it's bizarre because the guy, the singular dude that was, like, tasked with bringing this to an American audience, like, is doing most of the voices on this cartoon. Clearly.

So there's several scenes where, like, this guy is just talking to himself and three other him. themselves in a scene. Well, the weird thing is, again, and we'll talk about it, is the way everyone talks and everyone talks really fast and, you know, it's that old way of dubbing things. It's like, I guess you're just, you're jamming in English. Yes. Into what has been edited for Japanese. Yes.

So you're not fucking with any of the editing. You're just getting shit on that soundtrack as fast as possible. But that's also why there are several times this episode included, especially with that guy on the horse, where you just hear him saying things and the guy is just, just frozen. His mouth is not moving and you just hear him talking because you're wedging in dialogue. For a second I thought it was like, oh, is

wait, is he thinking now? Am I getting his narration? Yeah, is it an inner monologue? Yeah. I hate cars and I'm telepathic. That's how I talk to my horse. So, we're at the racetrack. It's the grand opening of this town's new racetrack.

This dude yells out. They shouldn't build racetracks for racing cars. Well, they have perfectly good horses here. But wouldn't you prefer a racetrack where you're racing cars inside a place and having all these pesky cars in the street where your son was killed or whatever? Oh, it's a monument to how my son died.

I'm going to whip the shit out of those cars, too. So he has a mental break again. He's going to whip this whole stadium to the ground. This guy is so insane. There should have been a SWAT team that just shoots him in the head in this episode. I think that that's how that would end. Yes, exactly.

You rode a horse to NASCAR. Especially what happens in this scene because he gets down there. He sees speed racer, which is amazing because he's like, you're not an accountant. You're a car racer. Liar! And I think that's the straw that broke the horses back. Because this dude starts flipping out and they're like, here come the cars for the race.

And this dude is like, I'm on it. and starts riding this horse to the cars And then all these racers are like Is that a fucking horse on the track? Yeah, they're swerving to not kill this guy. Massive car accidents. There are, which is the speed racer bread and butter, is like cars flipping over, flaming wrecks everywhere.

Ha-ha, that takes care of some cars. He does say that. It's a start. And he just kind of gallops out of the stadium. I think he jumps over some stuff. Some burning wreckage of other dead. young men. Doesn't this guy see the error

of his ways? Like, what do you do? If I can't have a son, then no one can. And his son, this is when the other guys, the mafia comes up and they're like, hey man, we like the cut of your jib. Nice horse, by the way. And he's like, hey,

come by my house later. I might have some work for you. And he rides away and they're like, wait, where's your house? You'll know. By the way, for the it's the house with a big sign There's no cars out front. To answer to his crime of the pile up, I think there's a line where he says, Oh, it wasn't my fault that the horse got in their way?

What are you talking? Yes, it was. This is exactly where cars should be and horses should not. You were piloting this horse. He thinks that horses should get all, like, everyone should yield to a horse. Hey, you fucking lunatic, this is a bad idea. Burn your house. kill your daughter

you gotta kill all the cars that's how your son died I would like to see this guy like this guy kill some cars from the motion picture cars oh yeah no maiter's getting murdered exactly I was thinking about this guy

squaring off with mater hey stop whipping me you know you should that couple's making out in a car you better go over there and shoot them Four times. Oh, then he turns into the fucking Scorpio. What should I say to them when I go over there before I kill them?

You'll think of something. What's your sign? What's your sign? Ha, ha, ha, ha. I killed you all. So now we're at this meeting, this clandestine meeting in this guy's house. His daughter's had enough. And instead of, like, saying, hey, I should just call the police and have my,

father committed. Sure. She's like, I'm going to hang out at Speed Racer, my new best pal at his house. And he's like, my daughter's missing. We better destroy all the cars. Here's a sack of money. And go destroy all the cars in the town. So overnight, these guys start cutting brakes and cutting steering columns and all sorts of

shit. You could potentially walk away from that whole racetrack thing and just be like, you know, it was a fucking fugue state. or something, right? You're not doing time. That meeting that he has that night with those guys. Premeditated mass murder. This is the turning point. He can't

come back from this. No. This guy in this one meeting ruins his entire life. Or should. Because yeah, it's just sniping breaks and letting all the fluids drain out and what like fucking with steering columns mass sabotage. And then the next day the news is a buzz

with the tremendous amount of car accidents actual quote which I love well it happens twice it's like well we can't get into town because the tremendous amount of car accidents and then the news report is like because of the tremendous amount of car accidents no one can get into town

and it's amazing because it cuts and the lines are like right one after each other oh it's great and there's just like cars wrecks everywhere and these guys are on the top of the building watching the city burn And, you know, their boss is like, that's perfect. This is the beginning of something wonderful.

Like, he thinks he's changing the world. Yeah, dude. Fucking Project Mayhem. We set off a firestorm tonight that will ever be put out. You think that's pretty good. That's only the beginning. Then we're going to take down the airplanes and the boats and then the banks. I got to work my way up to that

It's all happening Let's start with cars So the next thing is we're going to go to Speed Racer's fucking house And slit his throat I mean cut the cars open or whatever And he's like that's a great idea Also find my daughter I think she's there

So they do They get attacked again by Speed in his gang And Speed finds out like Oh my God it's Janine's father Causing this mayhem Obviously because yesterday he was on a horse Vowing to destroy all cars. Yeah.

How many dudes on horsebacks who hate cars do you think live in this town? Of course it's Janine's father. Come on, speed. He goes to Janine's father's house and like kind of like he's got everybody wrapped up. He's like, you know, these guys ain't worth shit to speed racer, right? Well, also Speed Racer and his brother and the monkey and every, they beat the shit out of these grown men, which is amazing. Yeah. And he's like, you know.

He's like, where's my daughter? you have her, you're hiding her from me. And he's like, well, oh, she's just riding with Trixie over craggy Mountain Peak. And the guy's like, oh man, is that that new car that I fixed? And he's like, oh, my God,

my daughter's in danger. I better get on my horse and fix this problem. This is awesome. And Speed is just like, um, why don't you just get in the car with me and we can go together and you won't have to use a horse to try to save it? He's like,

no no the horse will do it and just like gets on this horse and starts galloping and it's amazing because speed racers just like whatever you say idiot and just hits the gas pedal and drives way past this guy and he gets there first they drive off the road oh it's a

massive wreck and Janine's been uh Trixie's just behind the steering wheel kind of jacked up but Janine's been thrown from this car yeah absolutely so uh all your car hating might have cost you another one of your children.

Yeah. Not to mention all the children you've destroyed. Oh, they don't matter. Ha-ha. They like cars too much. Anyone who's on the side of cars deserves to die. They get there

and the horse guy finally gets there. Oh, no, Janine. How could I have done this? Oh, my God. I feel like, I'm feeling a real heel right now. Get on my horse. I'll take you to the hospital. He's like, no.

Are you kidding me? She's going in my car, and we're going to get her there before she bleeds out. And here is my favorite part of this episode, because he is insisting that she's not going to get in a car to go to the hospital, and he's going to take her there. Cut to this dude, he has slung this girl over the horse, and he's trying to pull the horse, and he's like, come on, horse, let's go. Come on, come on, come on. And this horse drops dead. he fucking ran this horse into the ground and the horse drops dead and speeds like

okay well your horse is dead so I'm just going to take her to the hospital now and you could just walk miles into town and figure your shit out so cut to the hospital Janine is fine yeah it's like it's days later yeah and she's like oh papa where have you been he's like well I've been paying for my crimes down at the police station

which they let me out three days later because I killed, I don't know, a hundred people. What the hell? I've been in jail paying for the crimes I've committed, is what this dude says. And they only let me out. Three days. Yeah, because she says something about like, oh, papa, I thought you were never going to come visit me. But, yeah, I mean, the property damage alone, you're going down. You're going down.

Even if nobody died, which people definitely died. This happened days ago, and this guy's already like, I paid my debt to society. It pisses me off that this guy got off so much. Well, you know what? This guy clearly a one-percenter, right? Oh, yeah. I saw the exterior of this house.

They're high up in society. You can afford goons. You're doing okay. You can afford horses. You're doing all right. Yeah, this guy greased some tracks. It was like fucking Trump the other day. That piece of shit finally did jury duty.

Yeah, he did for a fucking day. Well, he made America great again. Oh, that's what that's what that fucking dip shit red old man hat says that he wears around everywhere. What a fucking moron. Dip shit red old man hat. I would vote for Trump

if he got on a horse and started whipping cars. Which may still happen. It could happen. And that's why you were the problem with America, because you just said you'd vote for that.

No. But so then Janine is going to be a racing car driver and speed's going to teach me and blah, blah, blah. And Pops is like, oh, by the way, rich guy, here's this free car. Oh, yeah.

He gets a car out of the deal. A free sports car made by hand. Yeah, a custom pops racer fucking race car, dude. You know, that's priceless. That's absolutely priceless, first of all. He's like, here's the fucking Mach 7. All for you, criminal. Yeah, apparently I just need to kill more people.

And then maybe some of that good fortune will come my way. And the end of the episode, it's the laugh line. It's all the goons are directly. trafficking traffic because for some reason, yeah, you're right. They don't have the lawyer that this guy had. Yep. And they, I mean, like, even that, I mean, they're all, they should all get the chair. Well, these dudes are the Beagle Boys

to this man Scrooge McDark. Yes, or Glamgold. Glamgold. Yeah. Glamgold, exactly. And so it's like, yeah, Glamgold is fucking off scot-free and the Beagle boys are sentenced to community service, presumably endless community service, directing traffic

in this town. And lifting old ladies and dogs across the street. Oh, yeah, helping people cross the street. It's so fucking weird, man. And he, one of the guys falls off as, like, traffic, I don't know, stage or whatever the hell he's on. I've seen these, I don't know, this must be like a European thing. Yeah, like, where you stand on like a platform in your directing traffic. We don't have that here. No. People stand in the street and they're useless about it. And he falls off and like, everyone's ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Laughing their fucking nuts off for minutes. Just laughing at this guy who stumbled a little bit. And he lets his daughter be a race car driver now. She's going to race off into the sunset and hopefully not die like this guy's son, James Dean. I would say, I mean, I would be like, hey, you know what? James Dean's father had a mental breakdown afterwards. It started running a horse and whipping cars.

I would believe that. Totally. That's a good movie, actually. They met up with James Manfield's dad. Oh, yeah. I got to fucking figure it out. They got a posse going. She's going to take out all the cars.

You're going to round up all these cars. Dude, and then that's the plot of that James Brolin movie, The Car. I was just going to bet to mention that movie. That's some movie, huh? Dude, that car is like, oh, no, someone's taking out all my brothers. I'm going to get possessed by the devil and start killing people. That movie sounds amazing, but it's a little dull. Yeah, it's a slow 70s, like, shitty horror movie, unfortunately.

Now, was anybody embarrassed watching Speed Racer? Absolutely not. No, not at all. Again, this is from the 60s or late 60s, so I missed it. And, you know, as a kid, I just kind of didn't get it. You know what I mean? I was like, oh, it's crappy animation. Why would anybody watch this?
