HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! This week we reached out to other animators and creatives to give us their worst experiences in freelance that they could share with us like ghost stories around a campfire. Spooooooky! The idea is that if you're thinking of getting into freelance or can relate to some of these stories, they can serve as a heads-up on what you might encounter and/or how to prevent them. See? It's fun AND educational. I'm very proud of this episode so I hope you enjoy it and get lots of great information out of it! CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & leave a comment!

This week we have a very special interview: Alan Becker, creator of the hit "Animator vs Animation" stick-fight series joins us to talk about his experience with Kickstarter, what happened when his first short went viral, and how he actually does the things he does! There's a lot of really great stuff here for young and old animators from the Indie scene, especially when he starts talking about when and how he had to navigate the murky waters of a viral hit. And be sure to check out his work embedded below! CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & leave a comment! Annotations:(04:10) Why do a fourth in the Animator vs Animation series?

We wanted to do something special for our anniversary episode, so it was LIVE. We also received a bunch of voicemails from you which made us so happy! But the fates seem to have other things in mind when we had traffic, timezone confusion, and a wrecked computer thrown at us. In a very RubberOnion fashion, though, we decided that computers be damned... we were going to do this! Stephen and Rob huddled around a tablet and Pat kept the stories rolling and we produced an episode of more fun and excitement than we've done in 50 episodes while also sounding the absolute worst. It was like the grindhouse cinema of podcasts! Thank you all again SO much for sending in your voicemails! It was such a big hit, that we've decided to leave that option open for all future episodes. If you have a question for us, a comment, story, or even a rant about something you think we got wrong... call the number on our CONTACT page here and leave a voicemail! Also, as far as we're announcing things: HALLOWEEN FAN ART CONTEST! Submit your fan art of the podcast to our FACEBOOK page before the end of the month (October) and the winner gets caricatured and put in our next podcastimation AND a mini-interview on the podcast! Winners are decided by the three of us and is obviously subjective but we will talk about each one on the podcast and feature them in a gallery on the facebook page. We can't wait to see them!

Stephen teaches food chemistry, a video of Pat is unearthed, Rob & Pat flirt over text message, a couple fans get in a Facebook fight on our page, and we all do impressions of Ray Romano. We also talk about Alan Becker's new short "Animator vs Animation IV," the strangely infamous new "Rocky & Bullwinkle" clip, and much more! We're getting close to our one-year anniversary and things are starting to ramp up. Enjoy the insanity! CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & leave a comment! Annotations:(09:02) Pat does Karaoke

Speed round! Pat and Stephen had to get to trivia night because who else's going to know what year Space Jam was released (ahem 1996)? We all watched the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover episode and have some words. Don Hertzfeldt's Simpsons couch gag made people confused and intrigued. Also, the CW cancelled its Saturday morning cartoon lineup, the last of its kind on network TV, and you might be surprised what we think about that. And finally, we have clips and trailers to talk about! CLICK HERE to go to the full blog post & leave a comment! Annotations:(12:38) "Big Hero 6" trailer 2
(34:21) Death on The Simpsons
(1:01:24) 'Asterix & Obelix' clip
(1:04:17) SUBMITTED QUESTION from Ronald Chaparro: "Which do you each prefer; a villain created specifically for a season or already known villain"
