Rubberonion Animation Podcast

Here's ep 2 of our 4 ep drop today continuing with this episode from earlier this year published to Patreon (Originally uploaded Feb 19, 2022). We were releasing episodes there exclusively for the last year while dealing with some very busy times which now have cleared up and we can re-enter the fray! We actually recorded this "Masters of the Universe: Revelation" review episode back in Aug 2021 and then more work/life stuff happened to decide to take a break until 2022. We'll talk all about it in our next podcasts now that we're coming up for air. But fun story, when I opened it in February I remembered why it was never released... we didn't record an intro! We just couldn't get together to record one and it sat collecting dust, getting more relevant with age... that's what happens to review episodes right?    So I woke up the next morning, recorded a quick intro, finished the edit, and put it up on Patreon with a promise that more were on their way. Now you're all caught up and Rob and I have recorded 2

Here's the start of our 4 ep drop today starting with this episode from last year published to Patreon (Originally uploaded Aug 21, 2021). We were releasing episodes there exclusively for the last year while dealing with some very busy times which now have cleared up and we can re-enter the fray!  This episode we reviewed two movies now on Disney+ for anyone to watch, SOUL and RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON! Enjoy! Timestamps: 16:07 SOUL 1:04:52 RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON   #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere

In this episode, Stephen and Rob switch places. Both doing long time freelance and office work and now thrown into an opposite world... what did they learn?! Discussions abound! #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

One of the founders of the Academy of Animated Art, co-author of Lighting for Animation, and CG Lighter for Blue Sky Studios, Jasmine Katatikarn, joined us to talk about the industry, online learning, industry lessons learned and starts the episode off with a message about the recent closing of Blue Sky. #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

Undone is the new rotoscoped* show on Amazon dealing with time travel, mental illness, both, and of course relationships personal and family - because what narrative isn't, really. Stephen watched the whole season, Rob watched about half. *(it's a broad term, but we talk a lot about the style) #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

It's an HBO Max kind of show where we talk through all of (kinda) season 1 of Genndy Tartakovsky's "Primal" and J.G. Quintel's "Close Enough." How engaging is a 30 min series without any dialog? How about a 15 min one with a lot? Will Rob ever get to eat his lunch? Timestamps: 24:45 Primal Season 1 Review 57:30 - 1:05:30 *SPOILERS for PRIMAL ep 5 1:10:00 Close Enough thoughts ep 1 & 2 #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

We sat down separately together to talk about the new doc "Animation Outlaws" directed by Kat Alioshin about the duo known as Spike & Mike and the festivals they ran. Check it out streaming now on Amazon! #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

Last episode we talked about new animated shows, this week we talk about new animation opportunities! And with all that positivity, I get mildly annoyed at the Emmy selection this year and Rob sees it as an opportunity to make me explain why Rick and Morty doesn't thrill me... again. And it works every time. #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

There are so many new animated series that have been in production or just got greenlit in this time of covid quarantine, animation is proving itself once again as one of the more creatively and financially stable mediums to get behind. #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

It's been exactly 2 months since the last episode and a lot has been going on, we catch up and address the absence. #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

The Willoughbys on Netflix interested us by the trailer. We watched the movie. #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

This was from our Live-Streamed TRAILER TALK where we discussed the trailers for Solar Opposites, Connected, The Willoughbys, and JJ Villard's Fairy Tales. Not all positive. #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

We had a live-streamed show (from our respective homes) to discuss working from home and everything that entails. Being a manager, being an animator, working on-site to working from home, freelancing and its benefits, how is and might in the future impact the industry. We also have a couple user videos, one animated, and a listener audio question as well as comments from chat. It was a fun time! #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

About a month ago a video was uploaded that made the rounds in the animation community of a young story artist who quit her job at Disney explaining the why of it all.  We'll we're older and have had completely different paths from her and ourselves and have some thoughts on it all. It's a Hot Cocoa Show!! #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

Rob saw Sonic. Stephen saw Frozen 2. Both are spoiled heavily. #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

We're back, babyyyyyy! Or are we? Yes. We are. #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

Did "The Lion King" (2019) live up to the expectations promised by "The Jungle Book" (2016) and of course the original 1994 hand-drawn animated film? #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

What happens when a major animation spot is made up of rotoscoped professional and student films? #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere           

We had so much time over the break to catch up on all our favorite animated shows that came back, new ones that we were excited to dig into, and old ones we never got around to. Here's what we're watching now! #RubberOnionPodcast @RubberOnion everywhere
