It's all about Google Veo 3 this episode. What does this new A.I. video generation model mean for us as artists and just the world as a whole? Is the outlook really as bleak as people are feeling? Has the projection changed in the last couple years? Oh and also... a Michael Bay skibidi toilet movie? What is reality anymore? Enjoy a show where two guys are watching the world burn and debate about the color ...
FINALLY! We got some positive stories! I mean we're still in a fog of turmoil in general but through it all some bright spots shine through and we can start to see a picture of what the landscape ahead looks like... some good, some bad. Join us in the excursion, won't you?

Obviously we had to talk the two big stories — the resurrection of Coyote vs ACME and all this ChatGPT Ghiblification nonsense — but we also have a go at another Live-Action-with-CG-Character-Hybrid-Disney-Remake trailer and of course... what's going on with A.I. lately. Suffice to say this is definitely an explicit episode so expect the swears.

As things go, one thing that wasn't really supposed to be a segment turned into a 20 min chat and something we thought we'd have a lot to say about was actually pretty straightforward. We talk some new series, new techniques, new closings, and award shows. Just another day in the life of the animation industry!

Keeping things moving we have quick (for us anyway) episode that actually covers a lot of topics. There's lawsuits, trailers, and two animation use cases of A.I. in the wild that have very different public reactions. Oh and it was my birthday not long ago so Rob prepared a little surprise for me that'll definitely get this auto-flagged on various platforms for copyright because they're always too aggressiv...
It's 2025 and we catch up on some of the major stories left on the table from 2024 and look forward to the rest of the year. We chat about WFH vs Remote in our How You Doin' segment and see the return (again) of a favorite segment that was definitely recorded before "fire" was a word we really don't want to say right now. Also just to give you all a sense of continuity, we record this episode in our respec...
It's finally here! Our three hundredth episode... recorded way back in AUGUST. Listen... it's been a hell of a few months. We talk about the state of things and you know what? It still holds up like it was recorded yesterday.
From RubberOnion we wish you all a HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR... 2025, let's do this!!
Almost to 300 episodes! This one we're calling an "Animation News" episode but it's really more like a "How You Doin'" or "Whatcha Watchin'" if you will... I put a little extra sauce on this one with the audio editing because we bring up a lot of songs. We were GOING to talk about news stories and just got caught up in conversation so we put them in a Rapid Fire at the end which I think was even more fun. ...
We talk some things!

Another month, another episode! Earthquakes! Technical problems! Things on fire! Train horns! Puppy sounds! All the things that make a great show. And this episode's banner comes courtesy of Rob this time... really had his work cut out for him.

The big story this episode is obviously Coyote vs Acme but rather than just talk about how much of a bummer this all is we try to wrap our heads around the why of it all. We also start a new segment called "A.I. Watch" whic...

There is so much going on in the industry right now that we couldn't just stick to one topic because everything is pretty tangled up. So while we do bring up things like the AI open credits of Secret Invasion, the movie Nimona, the series reboot/new season of Clone High, Mushka and I'm Hip animated shorts from Disney vets, and other stories... we also thread it with discussions on the current stri...
