DreamWorks' BOSS BABY trailer, When to Not Take a Job for Moral Reasons, and Disney might buy Netflix – RubberOnion Animation Podcast #159 “Trump Baby” with Stephen Brooks and Rob Yulfo

SEGMENT EPISODE! The "Boss Baby" teaser trailer dropped this week and we talk about that which is immediately followed by a question about whether or not to take a freelance job if it conflicts with your ethics... so you know, a normal RubberOnion Animation Podcast transition. We also cover the rumors that Disney might buy Netflix among other things - which really, my mind is on next week's live show, Freelance Horror Stories 3, and a special episode which will drop on Patreon so enjoy this one before the awesomeness that is next week leading to Halloween!

The Red Turtle trailer, Nerdland gets a distributor, and Pixar has a new short – RubberOnion Animation Podcast #157 “The Red Squirtle”

SEGMENT EPISODE! We're back to normal (well as 'normal' as we get) on this episode of the podcast where we talk about "The Red Turtle" trailer, Nerdland getting picked up for distribution, and hypothesize on what Pixar's new short "Lou" could be about. We also bring back the Slow Burn segment to discuss the possibility that creators may have more control over their own shows on networks than we previously thought. Enjoy!

The odd part is that they all claim to be ending "under the creators' wishes" instead of from network interference." (asked by Andrew Kaiko)

Stephen animating LIVE "Unqualified Substitute Teacher" cartoon for #RubberOnionBattle Sept 2016 – RubberOnion Animation Podcast #155

For the penultimate episode in this week's 5-show-marathon leading to our Live #PodcastDay broadcast, I (Stephen) created my entry for this month's #RubberOnionBattle. Rob kept me company and ran the chat (mostly) where YOU all were, it was great fun! It was supposed to be a 2 hour stream but ended up being 6 hours, what with it being the first multitasking stream and all. I've edited it down do about 2.5 hours and am releasing it in audio-only version as well as a video (which will be embedded below). Thanks again to all of those who came out to the live show and enjoy the replay!
