S7E1 - Movie - "Wolfwalkers"
"Wolfwalkers" is from the same creators as "Song of the Sea", "The Secret of Kells", and "The Breadwinner". This film has the same, or similar vibes of lore and mystique. The animation is stylized and interesting to watch. This animated movie does not disappoint!

S6E6 - Series - Love Death + Robots Vol. 2
This week we're covering one of the most popular and iconic animations of the 21st century, Love Death + Robots.

S6E5 - Movie - The Muppets (1979)
Having a hard time in life? Need a little pick-me-up? We have just the right movie for you. The original Muppets movie is a classic from a series that's been around practically since the early stages of Television. Sesame Street, and the Muppets brings you back in time to a time when the world seemed much simpler. The creations that were invented by the genius that is Jim Henson allow you to enter into a moment of disable if for a couple of hours, where you almost -believe- puppets could be real.

S6E4 - Movie - Earwig and the Witch
This new animated feature film by one of our favorite studios, studio Ghibli, has been widely criticized, and we're here to lay some of those critiques to rest with our podcast on Earwig and the Witch. This amazing film brings you all the traditional things we love about Ghibli with a new, 3D look. We greatly suggest you consider watching this film with your friends and family as its fun for all ages.

S6E2 - Series - Paranoia Agent
What is your favorite thing about this series? For us, it was the immense reality that was building behind the theme in this animated series, or was it reality? This hypnotic series will bring you into a world built by someone else's nightmarish reality.
Are you living my life? Or am I living yours?

This amazing and beautiful animation is one of the best we've seen this year! I feel like I keep saying that... well, the last couple have been major wins! The Illusionist is no exception. This movie is artistic, clever, and witty. It has a timeless feeling of an era where the world was shrinking and worlds were connecting. It tells a story of relationships and love.
