Justice League Unlimited

A hell of a lot more heroes

We’re joined once again by The Film Pigs to talk about Justice League Unlimited. To get the fullest experience from this episode, I highly recommend that you listen to Episode 26: Justice League before you listen to this particular episode, as many elements from the prior show are referenced here.

Justice League Unlimited is the direct follow-up to Justice League with a much more robust cast of heroes. We’ll talk about what we like about it and where we feel that Bruce Timm (after nearly ten years of DCAU) may have finally shown some fatigue. …but only a little. Justice League Unlimited still kicks a lot of ass!

Note: Some audio distortion occurs approximately a half hour into the show. We’ve done our best to eliminate the most problematic audio, and it should not disrupt your enjoyment of the show too much. The issue persists only sporadically and is eliminated completely after fifteen minutes.

In this episode, we talk about:
Government Conspiracies
The Crap Embargo
No-Men
3D moving-going
32 Flavors
Losing bars
Brainiac wants pants!
NIC CAGE WANT CAKE!!!!

Galatea

Galatea - Not quite Power Girl


Yeah... I just put this picture up, because I could. Don't judge.

Sadly not Revenge of the Sexy Girls, this episode is about DC comics, and it’s stupidity.  We talk about my new site, NoSuperPants.com. We take a journey about why DC comics now sucks, what it has to do to save itself, and what other evil plans the Didiot have planned for our heroes!

Comic Connoisseurs will not become a spin off show, sadly. I think we all sort of blew through our hate load through this one.

AKOM

AKOM - Made from the worst shit on Earth!

In this week’s almost-but-not-quite-epic-length episode, we’re joined by Pablo Praino to talk about the animation industry as a whole. We talk about the techniques, the terminology, and the evolution of the medium as a whole. Legendary icons are discussed. Bruce Timm, Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera, John Kricfalusi, Walt Disney, Lou Scheimer, Chuck Jones, and more.

We also crack a lot of jokes and riff on Rodimus Prime a bit more.

Discussed in this episode:
Good animation is like a fine wine
You can get sued for being a good impersonator
GoAnimate: The Family Guy generator
Feet are sexy
Don’t listen to that Murakami kid
AKOM sucks

We also invaded This Week In Geek again to talk about The Green Lantern!

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.

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

Tonight, we are talking about the DC Animated Universe as a whole.  We give Bruce Timm the kudos he deserves.  Oh, we bash the Marvel animated universe a bit more too… but they DESERVE it.

Topics we talk about:
Bruce Timm; he’s a hero
Marvel doesn’t understand continuity.
Sending stuff back to Korea
Fucking BONE CLAWS! (How do they work?!)
Dion died on camera
The Dreamworks face
Neil drops an Animation Runner Kuromi reference
The etymology of AKOM
