I love Star Trek reunions

I love Star Trek reunions

Tonight we talk about Gargoyles, the action series created by Disney that the Mouse doesn’t know what the heck to do with. Co-created by Frank Paur and mostly written by Micheal Reaves, it is a good, solid series, if not slightly overrated by fans. We are joined by JT from Saskatoon to go over the particulars of this series.

Topics Covered
Ok ok, Greg Weisman helped too… I guess.
13 Backdoor Pilots
Star Trek Reunions
Japanese Episode to Japanese animators? Put the spurs to it!
The Green!(amigo!)
Ethnicity Not Important!
Let’s see, our organization needs hoods!
Greg always going back to Gargoyles

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!

It STINKS!

It’s the final countdown! You’ve heard 25 thru 11. Now hear the final ten.

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
Spümcø (sometimes) gets a bad wrap
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!
