Episode 18: The Mouse and The Mask by DANGERDOOM

About this episode

Dan and Kev explore the absurd universe of MF DOOM and Dangermouse through their album The Mouse and the Mask, discussing DOOM's influence and the role of Adult Swim.

As a gesture of petty revenge against Kev, Dan decides to foist Kev into the absurd universe of MF DOOM and Dangermouse, with their Adult Swim concept album The Mouse and the Mask. They discuss DOOM’s mythos as an artist, and the impact of Adult Swim in raising the profile of these two sleeping giants of the hip-hop landscape. Dan and Kev (don’t) attempt to figure out who MF DOOM really was, and whether his influence can be felt today. Mostly though they just laugh at old movie slang
