After I take a moment to tell off other podcasters for being a bunch of thankless douches, Ben and I sink our teeth into some scary cartoons. It’s not our most organized show. We basically ramble on about a whole … Continue reading →

Today, we’re joined by Comic Connoisseur co-host JT from Saskatoon as we talk about webcomics. Hey, we talk about cartoons a little bit.

Happy Halloween! Nothing says Halloween like terrible Tom & Jerry cartoons!(???) Yes, we’ll be talking about the Filmation Tom & Jerry Comedy Hour as well as Hanna Barbera’s Tom & Jerry Show. We’ll also mention Gene Deitch and “The Karate … Continue reading →

Better late than never, right? This episode was recorded all the way back in July and got delayed for reasons that are no longer clear. As such, a lot of what we say may no longer be relevant. We had … Continue reading →

Confession time. With episode 122 of Animation Aficionados, we jumped the gun. We mourned the loss of Saturday morning, but we didn’t actually realize that this year would mark its official death. This past Saturday, there were no major networks … Continue reading →

This is not your regularly-scheduled Animation Aficionados. This is a relief for anyone who’s been following the gaming press drama that’s been going on since late August. We’re not going to talk about that. Instead, we’re going to shift focus … Continue reading →

You knew we had to talk about this. Joining us is Kittyhawk. This was recorded shortly after watching the 5-minute teaser for the Family Guy/Simpsons crossover. We were kinda hard on it, but then again, Ben and I aren’t big … Continue reading →

This week, we talk about the Homestar Runner! Joining us is Kittyhawk of SGVY.com! We talk about kicking the Cheat and dropping heavy lourdes on Homsar. We also discuss other early internet phenomena, such as Camp Chaos, the Fic Bitches, … Continue reading →

Hey, it’s been a while! Today’s episode of Animation Aficionados is a dual treat. First, we have a special dedication to Casey Kasem, which, fortunately for us, will not be coming off of an up-tempo record. Then strap on your … Continue reading →

Wow. Just…wow. Folks, I am depressed. Here it is, episode 150, and we watched a movie so foul that it pushes both Robin & Dreamweavers and Eight Crazy Nights off the tip top of my top movie shit list and … Continue reading →

On today’s panel, we have Ren from Marshmellow Surprise, and we’re talking about Denver the Last Dinosaur. We were pretty horrified by what we observed. Like most things from our childhood, it’s much worse looking back on it as an … Continue reading →

Yep, we’re back with a do-over episode. Many months ago, we produced an episode in which we were to talk about Carl Macek. Somehow, we went almost the entire episode without even so much as mentioning him; a fact which … Continue reading →

Joining the podcast this week is Pablo Praino and Kittyhawk of SGVY.com! We discuss Kill la Kill, which was still running new episodes at the time of this recording. It’s a show about two girls wearing as little clothing as … Continue reading →

Today we’re joined by Bea and Kittyhawk, and we’re talking about Adventure Time! It’s a quirky show full of oddball humor and weird subtext. It’s even got its following among adults.

We’ve been off for a few weeks, folks. To make it up to you, we’ve taken three different nights of recordings and compiled the best of it into a single, somewhat random show. In the first segment, we reach out … Continue reading →

Today, it’s the Rankin-Bass action block. We examine Thundercats, Silverhawks, Tigersharks, and whatever else we can dig up, plus our usual aftershow discussion. Your hosts: Ben Carver: Hero Academy Neil Purcell: Dasien – Superhero Webcomic Kittyhawk: Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki

Hi folks. Neil here. Joining Ben and me this week is once again Kittyhawk, and we watched Eight Crazy Nights. Yes, I know Hanukkah is well behind us, but that’s okay. This movie isn’t really about Hanukkah anyway. Nor is … Continue reading →

Today’s podcast is a special after-Christmas show about some of the Christmas cartoons we forgot to talk about on the last Christmas episode. We talk about Garfield, Family Circus, and even a Christmas special put out by the phone company. … Continue reading →

Welcome to a new year of Animation Aficionados! Err, don’t ask me why we’re starting the year with a Thanksgiving special. It’s not that this episode was delayed since November. Honestly, we recorded this well after Thanksgiving. We also veer … Continue reading →

Ben is joined by Thomas Revor and JT From Saskatoon. New episodes of Animation Aficionados will be along just as soon as I come down off my holiday sugar buzz.
