About this episode

Henry Gilbert joins to discuss the Jimmy Neutron ride at Universal Studios and its place in early 2000s Nicktoon culture.

2000s Nicktoon icon  Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius  once starred in a ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, right where  Despicable Me Minion Mayhem  sits today. Other classic Nicktoons pop up too. The graphics were bad.  But hey, Henry Gilbert (Talking Simpsons) returns to talk inventor boys, weird early-2000s CGI, and some fun Japan theme park stuff!
