Episode 12 - Panzerfaust Tank Fist

January 22, 2014 20:56 - 1 hour - 70.3 MB

Behold in the intro, the strangest sounding burp in the world... courtesy of Rob (who else?)! This week we talk about John K working for Miley Cyrus, Alan Becker blowing up the internet, and just about everything else under the sun. This episode could easily be called "tangents" because we are ALL over the place. Pat is a bit sick again (rapidly becoming a theme on the podcast) but toughed it out for your benefit. Still, it was a lot of fun to record! Have enjoyment with the words we have ut...

Episode 11 - Good at Fighting Dragon Ballz

January 15, 2014 21:32 - 1 hour - 57.6 MB

In this episode we discuss The Simpsons honoring Miyazaki, Michel Gagne's new movie, a couple new trailers, another "trick" competition to scheme animators to work for free and Meryl Streep's character attack of someone long since dead at an award show for someone completely different sitting right there in the audience. It's been a weird week. We also find out that PAT IS A RAPPER. Learn something new every day. CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & leave a comment! Annotations: (15:3...

Episode 10 - Apple Dave

January 08, 2014 21:05 - 1 hour - 48.1 MB

For the first podcast of 2014 we talk "Frozen"s success, Rob's new animated short, and a lot of death. One passing that hit us was that of "Apple Dave" (mistakenly called "Apple Dan" on ep1). It hit us hard. Hit us right in the podcast. But never fear... we're still as dumb and likable as ever! Let us lift your spirits and get your year started off with a few laughs and some actual sincerity (for 0.4 seconds). Happy 2014!! CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & leave a comment!

Episode 7 - Tahn Tahng

December 21, 2013 19:29 - 1 hour - 60 MB

Pat is sick. The kind of sick that puts you in the fetal position. So Rob & I take this podcast solo and we do a terrible job. The kind of terrible job that circles back around to awesome "Sharknado" style. In this episode we talk about Netflix and what it means to the industry, Ron & John's new film, and of course... princesses. Rob & I also try our hand at being radio show DJs. We are bad. The kind of bad that you can only get at a high school radio class. Enjoy! (= CLICK HERE to go to th...

Episode 6 - Mint Glue

December 11, 2013 21:55 - 1 hour - 64.1 MB

We're back from Thanksgiving break with a new podcast! In it we announce the winner of the "Find the Zombie in the Podcastimation" game, talk about holiday animation related stuffs and some sad end of the year layoffs. But it's all ok because we bash "Family Guy" for pretty much every decision they make and talk about porn being spliced into Disney movies, Tyler Durden style. Also, we really have to pee. Hope you like it (the podcast, not the pee)! CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & l...

Episode 5 - Andrew Kaiko Interview

November 24, 2013 16:00 - 22 minutes - 15.4 MB

This week's episode is a special 20min interview with animator Andrew Kaiko about his process of creating a short, inspiration, ideas on style, and of course his brand new short "Norm & Cory!" He has a great traditional style and a wonderful sense for color (which we also discuss in the interview) as you can see in his short ON VIMEO. I encourage all of you to watch it first. Andrew was also kind enough to provide some images to share as reference to the topics we discuss which you can also ...

Episode 4 - Gorilla Boxing

November 21, 2013 04:51 - 1 hour - 55.4 MB

This episode we preview the interview I had with Andrew Kaiko about his new animated short "Norm & Cory", as well as a guessing game, a discussion about about sexy Disney men and a rundown of the major animation stories of the week! Rob & I have been working on our "secret" project (which we announce on the podcast) as well as two separate animated shorts which come out this week... but that also means we're tired. Very tired. So a fun drinking game to play in this podcast would be whenever ...

Episode 3 - Lego My Dic

November 10, 2013 14:33 - 1 hour - 51.5 MB

So we're a little late this week... what of it? Like you're so perfect! This we have a couple good conversations about budgets, animated female depictions and the broad topic of 'what is an animated film?' Pat doesn't give away any personal information this time but don't worry, Rob goes back to being the Rob of the podcast and can't land a transition to save his life. It's why we love him. Enjoy!

Episode 2 - Calvin and Snobs

October 30, 2013 22:12 - 1 hour - 54.2 MB

Happy Halloween! Rob makes an animated short, Pat gives out sensitive personal information and turns into the “Rob” of the podcast and Stephen is enraged by internet rage and can’t be soothed. This week we talk the about the “Mr. Peabody & Sherman” trailer, the passing of Marcia Wallace (Simpsons voice actress), Adam Brown’s animated Calvin & Hobbes dance and the copyright issues that conversation brought up.

Episode 1 - Death and Peanuts

October 23, 2013 14:48 - 1 hour - 59.3 MB

First official podcast! Rob gets a new microphone but doesn’t fix his brain, Stephen can’t stop talking and Pat hates things. Fun for the whole family (if your family likes penis jokes)! This week we talk the new Samurai Jack comic, apple picking, Peanuts shorts, Superman and a whole lot of death.

Episode 0 - The Pre-Cast

October 20, 2013 02:26 - 1 hour - 62.4 MB

As we slowly move into podcasting, we made a test to make sure we won't suck. This is that test. And it is awesome. Originally not intended to be published, we're so vain that we couldn't help posting this first step before our "official" first podcast next week. We're calling this one "The Pre-Cast" because we're clever as shit.
