December 11, 2019 19:09 - 57 minutes - 79.2 MBWe reviewed Norm of the North 2, but also launched our most ambitious Patreon bonus to date. Help us succeed by tweeting at the McElroys????? Love you, mean it.
S4 E9: Ready Player One
December 04, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 94.8 MBRobert Zemeckis... shockingly was not involved in this one. It was a nightmare, and I'm glad that it's over. Steven Spielberg, why did you do this to us?
S4 E8: Freebirds
November 27, 2019 18:41 - 1 hour - 89.7 MBIn a fit of manic podcasting energy, Emily DEMANDED we go off schedule and do a Thanksgiving episode, so here it is: FREEBIRDS. God, this movie was not good, and is not streaming anywhere, and I do not recommend you waste $3 to rent it. Just watch some Parks and Rec and imagine they're all animated turkeys.
S4 E7: Tony Hawk In Boom Boom Sabotage
November 13, 2019 11:00 - 53 minutes - 73.4 MBEmily finds out there were Tony Hawk games past Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2, and we discuss a movie that is basically just a glorified PS2 cutscene. DISCLAIMER: Dear Tony Hawk, this is all in the name of comedy you are a very cool skateboard guy and I would definitely recognize you in person.
S4 E6: Rock Dog
November 06, 2019 11:00 - 58 minutes - 80.6 MBWe rock out with a low-budget Chinese movie that is shockingly charming. Enjoy our discussion of definitely not Tibetan Zootopia. Want more? Visit our parent site, ToplessRobot.com
S4 E5: Garfield A Tale of Two Kitties
October 30, 2019 10:00 - 41 minutes - 56.4 MBWe watched a CGI cat butthole, and also this Garfield movie. Despite watching it, I'm already pretty sure it doesn't exist, so have fun! If you'd like to, visit our parent website, ToplessRobot.com
S4 E4: Monkeybone
October 23, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 109 MBBrendan Fraiser calls his wing wang Monkeybone in this gorgeous and deeply troubled film. We talk about other things, but at this point, are you not already clicking play to figure out the context of that sentence? Visit our parent website, ToplessRobot.com, for reasons!
S4 E3: The Emoji Movie
October 16, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 139 MBIn this episode, featuring special guest star Ryan Schremp (Topless Robot Podcast, Creepypodsta), I've finally gotten my way and we discuss The Emoji Movie! We discuss which emojis embody our spirits, the many many plot holes in this film, and feminism???
S4 E2: Bartok The Magnificent
October 09, 2019 10:00 - 49 minutes - 67.5 MBBATS. RUSSIA. PANCAKES. We talk about Bartok the Magnificent, the direct to video prequel to Anastasia. It's about a 300 year old bat. Visit ToplessRobot.com to see a website that has not-us things on it! Find our asses on Twitter and demand more!
S4 E1: Disco Worms
October 02, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 94.5 MBOur triumphant return to podcasting has us hitting the dirt and boogying down with the Disco Worms, a concept I can barely understand. Disco Worms is available on Amazon Prime to stream, and in your least funny ideas.
S3 E10: Happily N'Ever After
September 11, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 108 MBIn the finale of our FAIRY TALE THEMED SEASON (hope you guessed it!) we discuss a movie that is painfully mediocre, Happily N'ever After.
S3 E9: Alice In Wonderland (2011)
September 04, 2019 07:00 - 48 minutes - 67.2 MBThis week we watched a cursed MS Paint slideshow, not the movie made by Tim Burton. We discuss what would happen if this cursed film came into our possession, and if you can really use the fill bucket on a professional work. Like this? Why? Visit our parent site ToplessRobot.com!
S3 E8: Trolland
August 28, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 88.1 MBWe watched ANOTHER Asylum animated film. If you download this podcast, you'll be receiving the bill for the many visits to my therapist. Want more? Visit our parent site, ToplessRobot.com
S3 E7: Donkey Xote
August 21, 2019 10:00 - 49 minutes - 68.1 MBFrom the producers who looked at Shrek, it's a movie that's barely about the Donkey at all! Visit ToplessRobot.com to get your AO fix.
S3E6: The Princess & The Goblin
August 14, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 85.3 MBEmily chooses a movie you didn't remember existed! She snuggles up to you on the couch, warm baked good in hand, and tells you to move over so you can watch this NIGHTMARE. Visit our parent site: ToplessRobot.com! or don't! I'm just informational text!
S3 E5: Charming
August 07, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 92.8 MBA movie you've never seen, and a podcast that will make you wonder if Emily and I need professional help. The answer will CHARM you (see what I did there). Want to know more, check us out at ToplessRobot.com!
S3 E4: Ogre
July 31, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 84.6 MBWe watched a SyFy masterpiece, in which an ogre saves a princess in order to... wait, no this one just happens to have a CG Ogre in it. We talk about other SyFy movies, Emily's love of B-grade films, and the line of thinking it takes to understand 800 year old villagers.
S3 E3: Hoodwinked!
July 24, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 84.3 MBExtreme Grannies, awful musical numbers, and my very personal hatred of Andy Dick all wrapped up in one excruciatingly long feeling film! Yes, we watched Hoodwinked. Want to know more? Visit our parent site, ToplessRobot.com? Be our friend on Twitter! @animatedopinio2
S3 E2 Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom
July 17, 2019 10:00 - 55 minutes - 76.1 MBWe somehow made it through the entirety of Howard Lovecraft and the Frozen Kingdom, a movie which I can with great confidence say I watched. Join us as we talk about Veggie Tales, Cthulu, and the racism of HP Lovecraft. Hooray! This film is available on Amazon Prime, but only during a blood moon. If you wanna pledge your soul to us, go to our parent site ToplessRobot.com If you wanna actually pledge your soul to us, follow us on twitter @animatedopino2
S3 E1: The Lorax
July 10, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 111 MBSeason 3's premiere has it all, secret themes, yaoi slash fic, musical numbers, and an environmental message. That's right, we watched the Lorax, and talked about everyone's favorite daddy: Danny Devito. And the Once-ler. Earnestly, we've watched worse movies. This one is available for rental on digital storefronts, in case you don't believe me about the songs. Are you looking for more daddies? Visit our parent site ToplessRobot.com! Do you want to know about our favorite fanfics? Follow ...
S2 E10: Nut Job AND Nut Job 2
June 26, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 84.8 MBWe watched TWO movies this week. For YOU. BE GRATEFUL. The Nut Job and the Nut Job 2 provoke some level of dread within both of us as we wonder how our lives have changed in the last 20 episodes of this podcast. We'll also talk about Strange Magic again, just because we can. Both of these movies are available to stream on Amazon Prime, if you'd dare to do the most mediocre double feature known to man. Want more hijinks, squirrels, or just nuts? Head over to our parent site: ToplessRobot.co...
S2 E9: Imaginaerum
June 19, 2019 16:58 - 1 hour - 101 MBA Finnish metal band, Nightwish, has a concept album that somehow manages to score enough funding to become a feature length film. It makes about as much sense as that last sentence did, but we watched it anyway! You can watch this movie on ???????? or you can listen to us try to piece together what we watched. Want more Finnish deathmetal, or just pop culture in general? Head to our parent site: ToplessRobot.com
S2 E8: Everyone's Hero
June 12, 2019 10:00 - 43 minutes - 59.2 MBThis week, we watched Everyone's Hero. Somehow, this movie about a talking baseball is so dreadfully boring that it made watching baseball seem like a better entertainment option. We discuss how both of us flew cross country instead of recording this episode, who even likes baseball, and maybe the plot of the movie! Everyone's Hero is available on most streaming storefronts, if you're into that sort of thing. Want to hear more non-sports people like yourself? Check out our parent site Topl...
S2E7: Toys in the Attic
June 05, 2019 13:44 - 1 hour - 89.3 MBThis week, we watched a film that definitely ISN'T Toy Story: Toys in the Attic. A stop motion film that can just barely hold itself together, Toys in the Attic has charm, evil heads, and a plot that will only make you say "what?" three to four separate times. Toys in the Attic is available to stream right now on Amazon Prime! If you liked our misguided ramblings, you'll love ToplessRobot.com If you like us as people, tell us by following our twitter: @animatedopino2
S2 E6 (again): CHAPPiE
May 29, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 97.9 MBThis week, we watched Chappie, a movie that's ostensibly about Die Antwoord doing gangster shit, but is really trying to ask you a question about the value of life and robots I guess? Chappie goes off the rails and into some weird territory, but it does feature a cute as hell robot that is actually made of GOOD VFX MAGIC so you know, enjoy that. Chappie is available on Netflix! If you haven't seen it, just fucking watch it, if you have the time to listen to this podcast that only three peopl...
S2 E6: Delgo
May 22, 2019 11:00 - 1 hour - 105 MBThis week, we watched a bonafide failure that Avatar definitely ripped off: Delgo. We dig into the obvious mysteries, including their lack of noses, what kind of magic makes their stones move, and if racism was solved by a 2009 animated film. Delgo is available for rental or purchase on most digital storefronts. If you'd like to find the source of our stone magic, check our our parent site: www.toplessrobot.com If you want to know how we stay sane while watching these terrible movies, foll...
S2 E4: Doogal
May 15, 2019 13:23 - 1 hour - 96.4 MBThis week we watched what somehow isn't Harvey Weinstein's greatest crime OR Butch Hartman's biggest mistake: Doogal. Find out why redubbing a perfectly serviceable English children's film with pop culture references and fart jokes means it won't hold up even ten minutes after release. You can rent Doogal from the majority of digital storefronts, if you're really looking to pretend you're an ugly american. Eh, looking for a spot of tea and some crumpets? Go to our parent website, ToplessRob...
S2 E3: Monster House
May 08, 2019 12:00 - 57 minutes - 78.6 MBThis week, we watch the shockingly good Monster House. Seriously, you should watch this one, but maybe save it for Halloween? We talk about houses that are people, houses that look like people, and how much cold medicine could conceivably kill a child. Monster House is available on Netflix, so watch it only after you listen to this podcast. For more haunted houses and other kinds of hauntings, go to ToplessRobot.com For more of us, follow us on Twitter: @animatedopino2
S2 E2: Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within
May 01, 2019 08:00 - 1 hour - 97.3 MBThis week, we watched Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, a movie that somehow doesn't have a video game tied to it despite being a part of a prolific video game series. Aliens, impregnation, and Steve Buscemi are all on the menu this episode. Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within is available to stream on Amazon Prime, hooray! If you wanted all of the characters on screen to ask "where's Cloud," be sure to check out our parent site ToplessRobot.com! If you want more of us, check out our twitter...
S2 E1: Izzie's Way Home
April 24, 2019 10:00 - 1 hour - 83.7 MBThis week, Emily forces us to watch an awful movie from the Asylum Films that DEFINITELY isn't Finding Dory... Izzie's Way Home. We laugh, we cry, we skater matt through what is 90 minutes of actual torment. If you HAVE to watch this (please don't) it's on YouTube. Don't pay for this. I'm not even kidding. Go to ToplessRobot.com for more pop culture trash, and follow us on Twitter @animatedopino2 for our trash!
E10: Norm of the North
April 07, 2019 21:40 - 55 minutes - 76.7 MBThis week, we discuss a film we dreaded watching more than we dread the inevitable effects of global warming: Norm of the North. A godforsaken Rob Schneider vehicle, there is only a void where any heart and soul should be. It's not good, it's not bad, it's just so painfully empty. If you'd like to stare into the abyss, it is available to rent on most digital storefronts. We also break down our top movies of this season! Come back in a week for the start of season 2! Follow us on twitter...
E9: Angry Birds feat. Josh from TABDPITABP
March 31, 2019 16:49 - 55 minutes - 50.5 MBWARNING: This episode has funky audio and funky fresh opinions about the Angry Birds movie and who is drinking piss in it. This week, we discuss Angry Birds with someone who I am still shocked agreed to be on our podcast twice: Josh from the Angry Birds Drink Piss in the Angry Birds Movie Podcast. His charm and grace almost make you forget that this is a film where we watch an extended sequence of birds prancing in a stream, only to then watch a bird pee directly into that shimmering oasis....
E8: Monster Trucks
March 24, 2019 20:56 - 1 hour - 89.2 MBThis week, we watched a five year old's spec script, which is still more successful than any movie you've ever written, Monster Trucks. We'll talk about the tumultuous development of the film, the failed toy deals, and how terrible we think the VFX is. Monster Trucks is available to stream on Hulu and rent from most digital storefronts. We're now a part of the Topless Robot podcast network! Please hold your congratulations and instead continue to listen. Follow us on Twitter! @animatedop...
E7: Cats and Dogs
March 17, 2019 18:32 - 1 hour - 141 MBThis week, we analyze the age old question of which is the superior pet, cats or dogs, in 2001's Cats and Dogs. Spoiler alert: It's the puppets that performed all of the stunts. We also discuss why Jeff Goldblum can save any movie with the shortest of appearances and if our pets could star in a film without ruining it. Cats and Dogs is available to rent on most movie rental platforms. Give us a follow on twitter at @animatedopinio2!
E6: Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart
March 10, 2019 18:34 - 1 hour - 146 MBThis week we explore a French rock-opera about a part clock, mostly boy: Jack and the Cuckoo-Clock Heart. A beautiful film with a confounding soundtrack, we argue as to whether or not entirely redubbing it could save it. If you'd like to watch for yourself, it's available on Netflix! As always, follow us on twitter at @animatedopinio2!
E5: Space Chimps
March 03, 2019 23:52 - 1 hour - 110 MBThis week, we try to figure out how anyone was cast in 2008's Space Chimps, a movie that manages to take 30 minutes of content and stretch it to 90 with no increase in story elements. Space Chimps is available on Amazon Prime, if you're really that curious about what the terrible aliens look like (it's not good.) Follow us on twitter at @animatedopino2, if you want more of our awful opinions!
E4: Video Brinquedo
February 24, 2019 17:02 - 1 hour - 113 MBThis week, we power through what can only be described as the 6th level of Hell, watching both Ratatoing and the Little Panda Fighter from well known knockoff house, Video Brinquedo. We also embark on our quest to find Quantum Quest, a NASA created animated movie that probably doesn't exist any more. If you'd like to watch the films we discussed this week, good news, they're on YouTube, and since they're one step from breaking copyright laws anyway, I won't tell you to go pay for them. Fo...
E3: Mars Needs Moms
February 17, 2019 16:13 - 1 hour - 113 MBThis week, your lovely and very patient hosts suffered through the 2011 motion capture disaster, Mars Needs Moms. Take pity on us as we speculate about the life of Robert Zemeckis, if Seth Green was paid enough for this, and why the alien's hips are a mile wide. If you have a Starz subscription you can stream the film, but otherwise, you'll have to rent this one. As always, you can find us on twitter at our not great handle: @animatedopinio2 There's two of us, so I guess it makes sense?
E2: Strange Magic
February 10, 2019 15:22 - 1 hour - 115 MBIn this episode of Animated Opinions, we watch a George Lucas film where the female characters actually have agency! In Strange Magic, we talk about music licensing, terrible textures, and why even a disgusting hole filled bug can be kind of hot. Strange Magic is available to rent on all standard sites, but isn't streaming at the moment. Support your local podcasters! Follow us on twitter @animatedopinio2
E1: Barnyard (2006)
January 20, 2019 16:12 - 58 minutes - 103 MBIn our introductory episode, we punish ourselves by watching 2006's hit Kevin James film about male cows with udders, Barnyard. We don't know why we did this either. Follow us on twitter? @animatedopinio2
