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!

Episode 64: Batman Year One


Exiled: A Jim Gordon Story

Exiled: A Jim Gordon Story


Tonight on Animation Aficionados, we cover Batman: Year One. This is an animated movie based off the groundbreaking graphic novel and post-crisis reboot of Batman after Crisis. I appreciate what the movie intended to do, however in the end, I think the movie overall fell short.

Topics Covered:
The Art missing the rawness
Being too literal in an adaptation
Classic Noir storytelling
You either Die a hero…. or live long enough to have adaptation decay
The Catwoman Short is Better

We have some bonus material from Space Captain Steve as well!
Bonus Topics:
Toon Link is not bad
Ahnuld’s commentaries are GOLD!
