#15: Powerpuff Girls Retrospective/Netflix Castlevania/Video Game News


It's guest time again, as Felipe Diaz-Vera from Generation Animation makes his debut on our side of the podcasting realm. He brings with him much to discuss, starting with recent announcements regarding fighting games, Kingdom Hearts, and Sonic comics. John and Chris also dish out their thoughts on the recent adult-oriented Netflix cartoon based on the Castlevania franchise.
But the real conversation comes from Felipe's suggested main topic this week, as the three dive into a look back at the now-retro Cartoon Network hit The Powerpuff Girls. Expect discussions on John's mom being concerned, why Him is so darn evil, why John gives a certain voice actress a demerit, Felipe's impeccable ability to ad-lib Mojo Jojo speeches, and some touching on the current reboot and that weird anime you probably forgot about until we brought it up.

#14: Wonder Woman/Personal Projects


Chris has picked our most unique topic yet, but we don't forget to stick to more mainstream stuff for the first portion of this episode. John briefly talks about the Crash Bandicoot remasters and the recent indie film hit The Big Sick, and Chris joins him in discussing their overall thoughts on the recent Wonder Woman. (Where their opinions diverge may surprise you.)
For the meat of the episode, instead of analyzing another movie, show, or video game, it's time to get inside their nerdy heads and learn about the various animations and videos that they've made or hope to make. Expect talk regarding the learning experiences making their first cartoons, what they're hoping to do with more recent releases, what's been left behind, and what may lie ahead.
