A Run Cycle Through Time!

"A Run Cycle Through Time!" is the twenty-third episode of Scooby-Doo and Guess Who? season one. It aired on July 2, 2019 on Boomerang's SVOD service. It was written by Benjamin Townsend, produced by Chris Bailey, and directed by Sean Bishop.

Actor Malcolm McDowell invites Mystery Inc. to be the first to use his newly created time machine. Although skeptical at first, his time machine really does seem to work, but this only calls the attention of the Chronobeast.

Memorable quotes
Fred: Hold the phone! Mystery Inc.: It's famous actor, Malcolm McDowell!
