Justice League

Justice League

We’re joined this week by The Film Pigs to discuss Justice League and Justice League Unlimited. That’s right. Calamity struck before we could complete our topic, and thus only one show was covered in depth.

Shockingly, we covered quite a bit of ground on this digression-filled train wreck of an episode. And it all comes screeching to a halt when one us doesn’t make it to the end!

Topics covered:
Getting your hand eaten off by piranhas
Dong Yang is a workhorse
The big three and the lesser four
Screaming Hulk and The Banners
Clutch Cargo and Max Headroom
Rodimus Prime: Garbage truck or Winnebago?
Doing a pilot with Tim Daley
Being a terrible father
Jumping into a superhero series without a parachute
A shocking new twist on the endings of Lost and Battlestar Galactica!
Never shock a flat line

We’d like to thank our guests, The Film Pigs, for appearing on our show and being good sports about how it ended. We all had a good laugh, and we hope you have one, too.

From Left to Right: Todd Anderson, Stephen Falk, and Stephen Skelton. Falk couldn't make it due to having a real job.

Also, come check out our second appearance on This Week in Geek, where we tease Mike Blanchard about Rodimus Prime.

This looks like a job for SUPERMAN!

This looks like a job for SUPERMAN!

We have Tom Revor and Kittyhawk back on the show, this time talking about Superman: The Animated Series.  It sneaked up on us, but it came and it was awesome.

In this episode, we continue to gush over Bruce Timm’s ability to breathe new life into classic franchises, invent new characters, and expand a universe. We’re fanboys (and girls) for the ultimate fanboy cartoon!

Up, up, and awaaaaaaay!

Batman

For a generation, this was the sign that the bad ass was about to start.

Tanya Higgins of Webcast Beacon and Tom Revor of Crossworlds join us this week to discuss the action cartoon that put action cartoons back on the map in the early 90s. You know it. You love it. It’s Batman.

For nearly two hours, we wade through the origins of the Timm-Verse and all of Bruce Timm’s innovations that have since been smuggled back into the comics during a time when the face of animation was changing. You won’t want to miss this, the first in our DCAU series. Batman!

This episode is about…
Firing Tim Currey
Firing AKOM
Girls wearing men’s shirts as pajamas
Reinventing the relationship between comics and animation
Escaping Tiny Toons
Robin laid an egg
Timmitators
Hornswoggle!
Winning!

Harley and Ivy

Awwwww YEAH!!! That's what I'm talkin' about!

In this episode:
“Previously, on Animation Aficionados…”
Storm can match the Beyonder
Going into another dimension
Ben nearly kills Buster’s joke
Elmer in drag
Racist cartoons
Preachy cartoons
The Baby Fozzie Effect
The fireworks factory

CG motorcycles that don’t move
Seth MacFarlane talking to himself for a half hour
Jimmy Corrigan. ‘Nuff said.
Manatee jokes
Gee, can you guess what our #1 pick is?

The Motionless CG Bike

It's like watching money burning in a barrel, isnt it?

Ren & Stimpy - Worm Food

This is so much worse than how I remembered it.

Baby Fozzie

Baby Fozzie becomes a metaphor with which to attack other cartoons

Uh-Oh

Uh-Oh! One of Ben's picks draws controversy. Hmm... I wonder which one.

What once was whole was torn asunder (by Neil, since a 2-plus-hour episode was too much even for him).

Neil’s Note: An epic-length podcast?!  Not on my watch!

In this episodes, we talk about Reboot, and the fans who love it.  Bokurano was jokingly put on the list, then removed.   Does Winston truly taste good…like a cigarette should?  Clone Wars and it’s availability.  Williams Street’s productions are discussed in length.  Boondocks Preaching? NOOOOO!

Faux Part 2 coming soon!
