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.

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.

Topics:
Hasbro’s IP fetish
Vocal minorities ruin television
Other derpy cartoon characters
Tom’s brony sound board
“It’s the Sears Tower.”
Kittyhawk scars us for life with “BOOYAH!”

Bonus discussion:
Final Fantasy (all of them)
Shining Force III
Breath of Fire II
Albert Odyssey
Phantasy Star
Lunar
Earthbound
Panzer Dragoon Saga
Arc The Lad
Grandia

"Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis?!"

It's the Sears Tower.


Chrono Trigger's bad ending.

The Green Loontern

The Green Loontern

A whole podcast on a single episode of a cartoon? Only if it’s something as epic as The Green Loontern episode of Duck Dodgers! A cartoon made with love, with an episode made with love, this is still technically part of the crossover series with Tooncast Beyond, with Mike Blanchard! How can a cartoon made with such love be destroyed by management?

Topics Discussed
Daffy turns heel
Reviving the Corps
Offending the target audience
Robot Highschool Rivalries
A superstitious and cowardly lot
What does Neil Gaiman think about Teen Titans?

Cantaloupe, Watermelon...

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!
