Customer Reviews
Kinda lost me...
It's always a good informative show, but when an animator going to work the the Daily Wire is just the most awful news you can think of, Drew...you might need to take a mental step back and listen to yourself.
Change the name of this podcast to Mental Gymnastics with Drew Taylor
Great animation news outlet with some great stories from the past and information on upcoming projects. Unfortunately you have to listen to these two spew their liberal politics into every drop of info they share. For two very knowledgeable individuals when it comes to animation they can’t wrap their noggins around why current Disney animation is failing due to the need of these activists, oops creators, to infuse identity politics and sexual orientation into entertainment aimed at children. Instead listen to the excuses fly about shake your head. Have fun listening to them weekly complain about Twitter ad nauseum right before they tell you where to find them on Twitter. Good times. If you can deal with the cringe there’s a good show somewhere amidst the blinding light of the virtue signaling.
All things animation!
Since I was a kid, I loved animated movies and that didn't stop just because I grew up. I love listening to Jim and Drew talk about all kinds of animated movies/shows (ones I grew up with as well as new ones), and I honestly feel like I have more appreciation for the work that goes into animated movies just listening to their commentary as well as their interviews with the folks that directly work in animation. Great podcast!
