18: Animation Madness - The Bracket of 32

17: Deliberations and The 32 Films - Animation Madness

The bracket is finally locked in as the boys whittle their list to 32 candidates. I don't recall any particularly spoiler-y content, so you should be able to go in safe. Recommendations: -Giannis - Freddie Gibbs, Madlib ft. Anderson .Paak (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xo8Ls80pi0w) -Hedgehog in the Fog (1975) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oW0jvJC2rvM) -The Farewell (https://a24films.com/films/the-farewell)  (2019) -Amour (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7D-Y3T0XFA)  (2012) -Mutant Year ...

16: Round 1 Bracket Deliberations - Animated Madness Preseason

Well. We watched Fantastic Planet. That lasts us maybe six minutes before we're ready to just start designing the bracket. I'd rather highlight the part that we actually find exciting and that makes up the bulk of the overlong episode, so if you're looking for substantial Fantastic Planet discussion, I suggest going elsewhere (or maybe finding a more substantial movie.)

15: Pink Floyd's The Wall/Jan Svankmajer's Alice - Animation Madness Preseason

This week is a nice double-feature focused on more experimental live action/animation hybrids. Austin takes us to Prague with Alice, and Alex puts the boys up against The Wall (along with memories of being an eighteen year old edgelord.) Then we get into some brief discussion of The Math as we realize this preseason is drawing to a close. Next week, in maybe the last episode of the preseason - Fantastic Planet (https://www.criterion.com/films/28636-fantastic-planet) ! Recommendations: Big Lit...

14: The Adventures of Prince Achmed - Animation Madness Preseason

The P - no, wait. The ach....nah. The Adventures of A-dammit. Achmed THE PRINCE IT IS. Next week - a double episode of Pink Floyd's The Wall and Svankmajer's Alice. Just have that Home Alone reboot for Disney+ in your head and see if your mind syncs with ours on this one. RECOMMENDATIONS: -Giant Days - John Allison (https://www.boom-studios.com/series/giant-days/) -Fire Emblem: Three Houses (https://fireemblem.nintendo.com/three-houses/) -The Kingdom of Dreams and Madness (https://vapld.kanop...

13: Persepolis - Animation Madness Preseason

The boys round up their scattered thoughts on this adaptation of Marjane Satrapi's PERSEPOLIS, which is excellent and should be watched and read! Recommendations: -Faces Places (2017) -B.P.R.D. -Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up With Me

12: The Lion King vs. The Lion King - Animated Madness Preseason

This is the episode where we rip apart the new Lion King movie and talk the Cats trailer - the most timestamped podcast ever. And then Austin fucks it up by recommending HANNIBAL IN 2019??? Recommendations: -The CATS Trailer (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtSd844cI7U) -HBO's "Barry" (https://www.hbo.com/barry) -NBC's "Hannibal" (https://www.nbc.com/hannibal)

11: Tokyo Godfathers - Animation Madness Preseason

cw: extended discussion of transphobia on this episode This week's episode is a deep dive through what in the heck is going on in Tokyo Godfathers. We ended up loving it - but it's a journey to get there. Oh, and we stand in solidarity with the Amazon strike, but that's not in the episode. Recommendations: Little Gold Men (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/little-gold-men/id1042433465) Midsommar (https://www.fandango.com/midsommar-217742/movie-overview) Hunter X Hunter (https://www.crunch...

10: Coraline - Animated Madness Preseason

cw for rape and sexploitation in our discussion of Belladonna of Sadness, from 39:00-43:300. This week, despite some technical difficulties, we dive into Laika, money, movies that almost get there, and Neil Gaiman in our discussion of 2009's horror-fantasy Coraline. Celebrating the gorgeous modeling and art of Henry Selick butts heads with the way we've been able to take our past two episodes very seriously on a philosophical and political level. Fighting for stop-motion comes off less angry ...

9: The End of Evangelion - Animation Madness Preseason

The first super R-Rated movie to hit the season comes tumbling down. I don't really know what you'll get out of this if you haven't watched the saga. It's on Netflix now. Recommendations: -Super Mario Maker 2 (https://supermariomaker.nintendo.com/) (Level Code 78Y-0L9-S7G) -Vampyr (http://www.vampyr-game.com/en) -The Outer Wilds (http://outerwilds.com/) -Silences - Adia Victoria (https://open.spotify.com/artist/1HKGjRPwI0gaFyv4aSWPPl)

8: Toy Story 4 - Animated Madness Preseason

This is a fairly spoiler-heavy discussion right away, so go see the movie if you haven't - we all loved it. We talk the fugitive Forky, voice performances, themes, theories, and try to decide where this journey all comes tumbling down. (Yes, next week - The End of Evangelion.)

7: Toy Story Trilogy - Animated Madness Preseason

We tear through our discussion of the first three Toy Story films in perhaps our most effusive and detailed episode yet. Toys, guys. They're good. The team tries to narrow down not whether or not Toy Story will be on the bracket, but how many will be on the bracket. In this next week, we'll be uploading our response to Toy Story 4 (spoilers: go see it.) And next week, we'll be talking the newly Netflix-uploaded film The End of Evangelion - the series of 26 episodes (and the 64 minute recap fi...

6: The Secret of N.I.M.H. - Animated Madness Preseason

We go LONG on NIMH because we also just want to talk Don Bluth, a man of contradictions and sad ends. After declaring war on Dom DeLuise, Joey updates us on How To Train Your Dragon - The Hidden World and fears about ol' Dreamworks's future. Recommendations: -Gris Gris - Dr. John (https://open.spotify.com/album/1yBoaVrgcup2hX2DCYUajs) -Letterkenny (https://www.hulu.com/series/letterkenny-0f756343-1afc-46ba-805a-bb6b1c1e8c65) -Clone High (https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=clone+high...

5: Lu Over The Wall - Animated Madness Preseason

This week, we take a dip into the work of anime auteur Masaaki Yuasa with his first family-friendly film, Lu Over The Wall! We gush about this one a lot - then, we talk about his work more broadly, digging into a transphobic thorn in Night is Short, Walk On Girl's otherwise lovely canvas. Recommendations: -Gundam: 08th MS Team (https://www.hulu.com/series/mobile-suit-gundam-the-08th-ms-team-66133075-e9e5-4903-a3b3-2719d3dc9a95) -Opus by Satoshi Kon (https://www.amazon.com/Satoshi-Kons-Opus-Ko...

4: Wreck It Ralph - Animated Madness Preseason

We very quickly get off the rails with Wreck-It Ralph, bouncing all over the place through our thoughts on it and Detective Pikachu. Next week, though we hadn't said it officially, we will be covering Masaaki Yuasa's 2018 film Lu Over The Wall! Recommendations: -Dedicated - Carly Rae Jepsen (https://open.spotify.com/album/25it7uSpNFuRoD6uNc0Tfu) -IGOR - Tyler, The Creator (https://open.spotify.com/album/5zi7WsKlIiUXv09tbGLKsE) -Crazy Rich Asians (http://www.crazyrichasiansmovie.com/) -Devilma...

3: Shrek - Animated Feature Preseason

We hang out in the swamps of Dreamworks animation to talk Shrek. There's maybe truly too much to say about Shrek. We also touch on the flat modeling of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and the highs of Lilo & Stitch! Recommendations: -MET Gala 2019 (https://www.vogue.com/slideshow/met-gala-2019-red-carpet-live-celebrity-fashion) -The Dover Boys (1942) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR0eBWDVAtw) -4eva Is A Mighty Long Time - Big K.R.I.T.
