Episode 11-ish – The Impromptu Birdy Show


In this titillating episode, Ben and Neil sit down to talk about an old favorite, Birdy The Mighty, confirming once again that you can never get enough of invincible girls in revealing battle leotards. This is a special side-by-side episode, where we talk about the Birdy OVA versus the Birdy Decode TV series.

The animation direction in both are nice, but we definitely prefer the original.

Neil also weighs in the sub-versus-dub debate and confirms yet again that he had a very heterosexual childhood.

This episode is not very produced. There are some volume issues, but with a higher quality recording, clarity shouldn’t be a problem. Just make sure to have your volume set at a comfortable level. Also note that we were very tired.

Be sure to check out Neil’s second appearance on This Week In Geek, as he sat in for the Nerd News. Neil before Dodd!

Next week is Macross. No, really.

Episode 10 – Sexy Girls

The Girls of BleachWe’re joined this week by Kittyhawk to talk about sexy girls in animation and beyond! A discussion about the ways and hows of creating a great female sex symbol rapidly derails into vapid drooling. Definitely not for prudes.

It's a TRAP!Also, beware of traps!

They’ll trap ya.

I give a shout out at the end of the show to Noelle Dreves of Dangermoth, a webcomic with delicious cheesecake.

TWIG Nerd News Network – Week of February 21st

Hey, cats and kittens. I made a very special appearance on This Week in Geek to talk briefly about the past week in cartoons but mostly about my other favorite passion, video games! I even dropped some gaming news on the Geeks and came up with a new catchphrase in the process. Sega gives what Nintendon’t. Oh, it’s true.

It was very fun, but unfortunately my ill-prepared state didn’t leave me with much material. I hope to be back again, though. Wish we recorded after the show, because that’s when we started talking cartoons. D’oh!

Episode 9 – Ben’s Top 20

It’s Ben’s top 20 animated series! What made the list? What is number 1? Which cartoon characters are called out for being Poochie? Find out in this 70-minute discussion about cartoons of yesteryear.
