Episode 69: Defending The Crapman

The Crapman

The correct title card

Yes, dear listeners. It’s here. Episode 69. And not a single naughty joke about it anywhere. We let you down.

Fortunately, today is the day that you get to hear the showdown over The Crapman! Richard (just Richard) comes down from Canadia to defend Sam Register’s baby. We attempt reason. After a while, Tom Revor even steps in. It goes three-on-one for a while.

Nearly two hours of us judging the show by its demerits.

Episode 68: Derpygate

Derpy

Hasbro says: "HERPA DERP DERP DERP!"

Today’s episode of Animation Aficionados is a very special segmented episodes. We begin with a brief discussion about “Listeners Fight Back”, the first episode of which will air next week. Then, Tom Revor and Kittyhawk join us for a discussion about EDerpygate. We then feature a very special (and very long) look at the history of video game RPGs. Why? Because we’re dorks, and we love breaking the monotony.

Hasbro’s IP fetish

Kittyhawk scars us for life with “BOOYAH!”

The Sexy Girls Podcast Episode 4: Al Rio

Caitlin Fairchild

No one ever drew Fairchild better.

Tonight, in honor of our fallen hero Al Rio, we present a very somber edition of the Sexy Girls podcast, now officially christened a spin-off of Animation Aficionados. On this very special episode, we are joined by comic artists Pablo Praino and Aisaku as we talk about the Al Rio as well as many other “good girl” comic artists.

As someone who was inspired by Al Rio, I was shocked to hear of his death. He was and always will be one of my favorite comic artists. I think I speak for everyone on the show when I say that we will miss Al Rio.

This is a fairly short episode, so after the mid-show commercial break, you’ll get to hear some bonus audio that we recorded with Pablo Praino.

Topics Covered:
The secret of every good girl artist: Frederick’s Of Hollywood
Exposure – It’s like Dirty Pair with nuns.
“Wait a minute! That’s not J. Scott Campbell!!!”
Fronk Cho’s mom
We love Amanda Conner
Adam Warren, Adam Hughes, and Ed Benes

Bonus Content:
More stiff with Pablo
Dragonball is silly
His name is PAIN!!!!
The Crapman

Evil Mary Marvel

I'll take the Mary Marvel on the right. Thank you.


Exposure

It's like Dirty Pair...without all the genocide...and with nuns.


Self portrait of Al Rio

Being from Brazil, this working environment is far from being inaccurate.


Red Sonja

Impenetrable armor, for sure.


Wonder Woman vs Wonder Woman

Yep, that's how we felt this time last year. Thanks, Al!
