This week we are taking a different little journey. We're talking about a MUSICAL. But not an actual, animated musical. This is EPIC The Musical by Jorge Rivera-Herrans that has a huge following of amateur animators making fan animatics for all the songs on the Tik Tok trending musical version of Homer's Odyssey.

Spectacular Spider-Man is the best Spider-Man cartoon hands down in this Podcast Host's humble opinion. This is coming from someone who grew up with Spider-Man (1994) animated series. This show was a perfection on the formula of the wall-crawler. With only 2 tight 13 episode seasons to it's name it didn't last long after the Disney/Marvel acquisition so it rests here in the memories of it's fans. This week is our FOUR HUNDREDTH epi...

It's 2025 and there's a lot of discourse over the state of animation and I thought it was worth talking about it. The Day the Earth Blew Up has a very shaky history leading up to it's release earlier this year and it has lead to Ketchup Entertainment acquiring the rights to Coyote vs Acme. The previous year was filled with animation triumphs and animation mishaps. Let's talk about all of it as a whole and see where they state of an...
Pixar's Win or Lose is the first TV (or rather streaming) series from the studio and man do they hit it out of the park! Following the little league softball team The Pickles we see different perspectives from one week of events through the eyes and anxieties from different members of the team. It's a great concept and some of the most solid execution from a studio that, in my opinion has been losing a lot of it's magic. But they'v...
This may be the best season of Invincible to date as Mark's duty to protect Earth from the Viltrumite Empire is put to the ultimate test. That as well as the morality of being an all-powerful hero with dangerous villains threatening people he cares about, how does he handle them?

Lord of the Rings War of the Rohirrim wasn't hyped or really talked about even by Warner Bros Discovery, and it wasn't lighting critics up either.

With a talented director and gorgeous art design that sucks you right back into the Peter Jackson trilogy Rohirrim takes home some strong thumbs up from this crew. Toon in now!
