Tonight we interview Cynthia Martinez, voice actress from ADV, the voice behind many characters from Slayers, Madlax, Martian Successor Nadesico, Godannar, Kaleido Star, Galaxy Fraulein Yuna, Excel Saga, Puni Puni Poemy, and many more!
We mostly talked about Slayers, but we asked Cynthia for some of her best booth stories. And boy did we some! Cynthia was hilarious, and we enjoyed having her on the show. We’ll have to get her back some time.
Topics:
The screaming Lina
Making fun of a twelve-year-old’s breast size
Funny stories from the sound booth
“Mah leg”
Man Lina
Lisa Ortiz vs. Cynthia Martinez
Puni Puni Poemy
DRAGON SLAAAAAVE!!!!
Puni Puni Poemy… Believe it or not, this is TAME.
Cynthia is exclusive to the Slayers movies and OVAs.
Tonight on Animation Aficionados, we talk with Chuck of the famous “What’s on Joe Mind” Podcast promo about toy commercials! We go into the politics of toy commercials, parents groups, He-Man, Mighty Max, and so much more!
Topics Discussed
DINO DAMAGE!
Sam Neil Action Figure
Mighty Max is the male Polly Pocket
Pre-emptive protection against chinese knockoffs?
The Truth about He-Man Toys.
We are very happy to have Tiffany Grant back again to talk about Gunsmith Cats! A show that is so american, it’s awesome! Like an 80’s action flick, it has chicks, guns, and cars. Rally might prefer a 9mm, but we won’t hold it against her! The best thing about Gunsmith Cats, I think is the ambiance, the sound design. Good thing Tiffany’s here to keep us on task!
Topics Covered
Getting every gun sound right
Stallone’s Cobra’s got the Touch!
Chicago land!
“No Pizza…” you know the rest!
Yes, it’s here at last. Robin & The Dreamweavers. The darkest chapter of the Lou Scheimer legacy. This “movie” was brought to you by man who gave us Fat Albert & The Cosby Kids, Groovy Goolies, Faux Busters, Pinnochio & The Emperor of the Night, He-Man, and She-Ra. As it turns out, this isn’t a movie at all, but rather a very poorly made premium channel pilot. Much like the Gen 13 pilot, Robin & The Dreamweavers was doomed to a fate of obscurity upon completion. (That is, until the internet set it free!)
We’re joined this week by Kittyhawk and Trevor Jay. We had to steel ourselves to power through this thing. A couple of us didn’t make it. But for the most part, we’re unscathed.
By the way, please send in your Naga laughs! HO! HO! HO! Information at the beginning of the podcast.

Tonight, we talk about America’s favorite disfunctional family, The Simpsons. Joining us tonight is Mike “TFG1” Blanchard of the Geekcast Radio Network, as we do a rather unorthadox side-by-side, comparing the first half of The Simpsons versus the second half to determine which is better.
The Simpsons is the longest-running animated prime time show. Over 20 years after it first hit the air, it’s still going strong. But has Simpsons hit its stride? Is it past it’s prime? Is it time to take the show behind the barn and put a 22 in its temple? We discuss this very issue on this week’s edition of Animation Aficionados!
