Pat's back! Feels so good to have the gang together for this one because we've got some great stories suggested by YOU. "Popeye", "Where Are They Now" animated short, "Deadpool" greenlit, "Rick and Morty" co-creator Justin Roiland fighting the Union, The Hub dies, Stephen updated an animation from 2010, and we inspire people apparently... seriously. And we have another submitted question! You will enjoy this one. You will. I promise. Kinda. CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & leave a comment! Annotations:(9:04) "Popeye" test footage
(1:26:58) SUBMITTED QUESTION from Ronald Chaparro: "What film franchise do you see or want to make as animated film or short? And which franchise do each of you guys want to work on, if you had the chance?"

With a slow news week, Rob and Stephen settle down and talk about something bugging Rob lately: "how to be an animator AND have a life." We talk about productivity methods, past experiences, full time VS freelance, and of course -- stories! And also... VIEWER QUESTIONS!! But we start it all off with a clip from earlier in the week when Rob called Stephen to practice his telephone script he had to read on behalf of the Brooklyn Bourough president. And you all know what happens when Rob tries to read aloud... under pressure. CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & leave a comment! Viewer Questions:(1:32:45) J.K. Riki - "What would you be if not an animator?"
(1:37:39) Chris McEwan - "Process- We've seen how Stephen prepares for an animation, from initial ideas through to storyboarding, preparing sound effects and music. How does Rob prepare his work? He comes across as very laid back and I've heard it said on previous episodes how quickly he makes his stuff. Does he just jump right in and wing it?"
(1:42:17) Chris McEwan - "Showreels- How long should your showreel ideally be without it being blink-and-you-miss-it or being so long it gets boring? I've seen some as short as 40 seconds and some in excess of 6 minutes (although usually for programs, like Houdini, not for individuals)"

Is "Hello Kitty" a cat or isn't she?! Is "Bojack Horseman" any good? Is Marvel actually making a "Guardians of the Galaxy" animated series? She is, it is, and they aren't. There, now you don't need to listen to the episode. But if you didn't you'd miss our soothing voices and witty quips! Rob has some major technical issues and it made for an Intro that made me laugh so hard while I was cutting it together I had to take a break to wipe the tears from my eyes. How's THAT for raising your expectations too high?! Also, do YOU know why we named this episode "Purse on Vacation?" I'll give you a hint: say it fast. I'll give you another hint: Rob can't pronounce words. CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & leave a comment! Annotations:(46:05) Hello Kitty is(n't) a cat
