Sexy Girls Episode 5 – Dressing Up Your Sexy Girls!

Donna Troy Wonder Woman

The tragically rare Donna Troy Wonder Woman costume

Today, we invited Kittyhawk of Valkyrie Yuuki over to play dress-up with the sexy girls. Annoyed by what the mainstream comic publishers consider sexy these days (especially with the new and “improved” Carol Danvers), we launch into a tirade about how hot chicks in fiction ought to look…at least from our perspective. This is mostly a superhero topic, so expect a lot of talk about tight-fitting clothing.

Topics covered:
Footwear: Flats vs. Heels
Sleeves or no sleeves
The French cut
Cloaks: It’s all about what’s underneath
Athletic costumes versus underwear
Sporty chicks are hot
Snaps, buckles, and zippers: How much is too much?
Using nanotech to explain why the clothes don’t just fall off
Neil and Kittyhawk make some not-so-subtle references to their own comics
And finally…LEOTARDS!!! (Yes, I’m that lame.)

Jean Grey costumes

Discussed in the show - The many costumes of Jean Gray


Star Sapphire from Justice League

The SUPERIOR Star Sapphire costume, without the crappy Witchblade shit all over her

Jennie Breeden's Boots

Jennie Breeden's boots - Proof that girls can look awesome without heels. Seriously, knock it off with the heels! Nobody fights in pumps.

Bonus: The Legend of Korra


The Legend of Korra

The Legend of Korra

Tonight, we do a quick mini ep about the sequel series to Avatar the last Airbender…. The Legend of Korra! The ULTIMATE Pallette cleanser after last week’s weeaboo special of Teen Titans. Anime-inspired done right? Why even call it Anime-inspired? It took and branched out, became it’s own, beautiful thing. Neil and I talk about why you should watch Legend of Korra, at Korranation.com.

Korra does the Dio devil horns

You just don't see expressionism in animation anymore. Oh wait! There's Korra.

The Sexy Girls Podcast Episode 4: Al Rio

Caitlin Fairchild

No one ever drew Fairchild better.

Tonight, in honor of our fallen hero Al Rio, we present a very somber edition of the Sexy Girls podcast, now officially christened a spin-off of Animation Aficionados. On this very special episode, we are joined by comic artists Pablo Praino and Aisaku as we talk about the Al Rio as well as many other “good girl” comic artists.

As someone who was inspired by Al Rio, I was shocked to hear of his death. He was and always will be one of my favorite comic artists. I think I speak for everyone on the show when I say that we will miss Al Rio.

This is a fairly short episode, so after the mid-show commercial break, you’ll get to hear some bonus audio that we recorded with Pablo Praino.

Topics Covered:
The secret of every good girl artist: Frederick’s Of Hollywood
Exposure – It’s like Dirty Pair with nuns.
“Wait a minute! That’s not J. Scott Campbell!!!”
Fronk Cho’s mom
We love Amanda Conner
Adam Warren, Adam Hughes, and Ed Benes

Bonus Content:
More stiff with Pablo
Dragonball is silly
His name is PAIN!!!!
The Crapman

Evil Mary Marvel

I'll take the Mary Marvel on the right. Thank you.


Exposure

It's like Dirty Pair...without all the genocide...and with nuns.


Self portrait of Al Rio

Being from Brazil, this working environment is far from being inaccurate.


Red Sonja

Impenetrable armor, for sure.


Wonder Woman vs Wonder Woman

Yep, that's how we felt this time last year. Thanks, Al!

Episode 62: Green Lantern Emerald Knights

Laira - The resident hottie of the Green Lantern Corp.

As long as I'm on this show, you can always count on me to highlight the girl in the leotard.



The best comes to those who wait. Our expanded edition of the Emerald Knights review once again features Mike “TFG1” Blanchard of the Geekcast Radio Network. In this exciting episode, we cover another set of DC animated stories compiled into a film. However, unlike Gotham Knight, which was a disjointed mess of barely-connected stories, this one actually comes together at the end in a satisfying way. The stories were hit-or-miss, but there is enjoyable stuff here, particularly Laira (and no, I don’t just mean her costume).

Expanded content in this episode includes our standard cold opening, plus a whole middle section that you’ll not hear in the Tooncast Beyond version of this show. Additionally, we have short conversation with 1UP‘s Bob Mackey plus a tease for next week’s show. Be sure to check out Bob’s podcast, Retronauts.

Topics Covered:
Laira’s hot
Arisia is jailbait
Kilowog is a poozer
Mogo vs. Unicron – Who wins???
Batman and the Golden Lagoon

Batman hangs at Autobot Headquarters

Green Lantern's greatest weakness: That yellow metal that Autobots always use.

Episode 60: All-Star Superman

All-Star Superman

"Can you read my mind...?"

Here we go! It’s All-Star Superman, boys and girls! We’re back with Mike Blanchard of Tooncast Beyond. This is not a movie for people who want a straight action film. This is a character film, and it’s quite possibly one of the best ever written. …even if Blanchard wants to poo-poo the gloriousness of this film.

Over 45 minutes of extras over the Tooncast version. You have our standard pre-show, a short interlude about Vampires Suck, and a post-show conversation between Ben and me about future episodes, filled with hilarious off-the-cuff remarks.

Topics:
Best. Lois. EVER!
Tom Welling… VOICE ACTOR?!?!
Grant Morrison GETS Superman!
Superman sets his controls for the heart of the sun.
Did we mention that Lois was smokin’ hot in this film?

Atlas and Samson

Atlas and Samson - One of many storyline deviations that really don't progress the plot at all. The meaning of this contest? It's over Lois, of course!


Best.  Lois.  EVER.

Super Lois. Is there a better argument in favor of this film? (Well, yes...but I'm being a pig.)
