Skippy is a 1960s&amp;nbsp;kids show from Australia designed to teach kids to respect animals by showing them a kangaroo that fly in a helicopter, fight bad guys, understand English, carry morphine, and bet on horse races. &amp;nbsp;The show is set in a fictitious national park and focuses on the park ranger&amp;#39;s family, a kangaroo, and a blond girl nobody hits on. &amp;nbsp;It&amp;#39;s charming in small doses, but we had to watch 12 episodes in a row and very few shows can survive that dosage. The show is also painfully episodic. &amp;nbsp;Nothing is happening, something happens that threatens Skippy or Sonny, one of them goes for help, everything works out. &amp;nbsp;We use that knowledge to create our own episodes of Skippy. &amp;nbsp;We also discuss possible remakes, kangaroo genitals, famous Australians, and no-stir peanut butter. Our sponsor today is the co-host of a podcast about religious topics by two ex-Catholics:&amp;nbsp;meatmutant.com.
