Thoughts On Go-Go Mystery Machine

 

I was asked by several people if we were going to do a special panel on Go-Go Mystery Machine, and my initial answer was no. It just wasn’t going to fit into my schedule, which has been excessively busy lately! With graduations, family events, working and other stuff, I feel like I have very little time to work on Scooby. Maybe it’s just because this year is flying by. I mean, how can we already be almost 1/2 way through June??

Then I decided since we were recording anyway, we should just record our thoughts on the announcement of the series. It’s not like the special episodes are 2 hours long like some of the normal panels, so it wouldn’t take too much time. And I didn’t have time to add many visuals, so I added the bare minimum. It worked out pretty well, though our original reason to record had to be rescheduled, we were still able to talk about Go-Go Mystery Machine.

Joel brought up a great point about it being similar to 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo and Guy Dorian had some great insights into the industry and why things are done the way they are done. Unfortunately, Wendy wasn’t able to join us, but she’ll be back when she can be!

So here are our thoughts…

Scott Jeralds Interview

 

This interview was 2 years in the making and Scott did not disappoint! Over the past 2 years, we have gotten to know Scott a bit.

Scott has had an extensive career in animation and I knew there were projects that he’s worked on that never saw the light of day. I was excited to talk to him about them, and incredibly excited when he offered pictures of those projects to go with the conversation.

One project was called Son of Scooby-Doo, which he first mentioned on The Unmasked History of Scooby-Doo Podcast. I have been obsessed with learning more about this project since that interview aired on August 21, 2020. I had to know what the son of Scooby-Doo looked like and who he hung out.

Scott talks about the Son of Scooby-Doo and some other projects that he worked on with Iwao Takamoto that didn’t get made. He shared some images from those projects, which you can see in the YouTube version of the interview.

In addition to these projects, Scott talks about his career and he tells us some great stories! You don’t want to miss this interview!

What’s New in 2024, Scooby-Doo?

 January is almost over and I wanted to end the month with my list of Scooby stuff that is coming in 2024. I’m sure I am missing something, so if you know of something else, let me know and I’ll add it and credit you.

2023 went by so fast! It felt like such a blur. My mind still thinks it is June 2023, yet here we are in January 2024.

There are a few things I hope to see this year…a new series, besides Velma season 2, a new movie and some fun merchandise. I’d also like to see them release Scoob! Holiday Haunt! Puppy Scooby from Scoob was super adorable and we need to have more of him!

There is also a mention of a Velma Halloween special. It hasn’t been confirmed if that will be part of the Velma series or not, however, Mindy Kaling is listed as the voice actor, so it would make sense that it would be part of the series.

MY THOUGHTS

As I was compiling this list, I was thinking there was barely anything coming in 2024! Seeing it all in one blog post makes me realize just how much stuff has been released already this month and how much we still have coming! I’m looking forward to a great year! I just hope it doesn’t go by as fast as last year!
