The film also puts a heavier emphasis on Tom's queerness, so you know we'll have a lot to say about that!

Tagging back in for the conversation is returning guest (see our episode on the original Scooby-Doo film) Cory McCullough, aka Gory Cory! Join us as we celebrate all things Scooby-Doo with a deep dive into the film's plethora of monsters (including some that didn't make it into the final cut!), ponder what could have been in the cancelled Scotland-set third film, and debate whether or not this is actually a stealth prequel to the first film. Plus, Velma's lesbian erasure, Seth Green's affinity for dating queer women, a controversial pay cut from Freddie Prinze Jr., a potential transphobic read and many, many more fart jokes. Questions?
