Hey friends,While we aren't picking THIS show back up any time soon, we couldn't not do our annual "Top Ten Things" episode. This year started off a little rockier than the last few. While we loved producing this show regularly we have an exciting project in the works to use all of the skills we learned on this one and hopefully avoid all of the mistakes. That's being said there was a lot we were grateful for throughout the year. So from us to you happy holidays and we'll see you next year. (PS also we MIGHT start dropping the occasional movie or show review here when we have the time and drive for it, but while you wait be sure to check out our personal projects in the links below)Featuring: Bob Rudenborg, Jon MarekEditing: Jon MarekTheme: Brian Adams-Find Us Across the Web: https://www.thebutchandthebi.com/linksFollow Jon on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/jonklobsterSign Up for Bob's Patreon: https://patreon.com/asmallfrogart

This week kicks off our exploration of films produced by NON-AMPTP studios to support the striking writers and actors who bring to life the stories we love watching. There is no better candidate to start with than 2013's “The Congress”.  The mixed medium film directed by Ari Folman stars Robin Wright in a world where movie studios have started scanning actors to continue “creating” movies without the actors. 20 years pass and contract negotiations require her attendance of the futurological Congress, presented in the film as an acid trip soaked tribute to the animation styles of the 20s and 30s.It's an odd film that predicted some of the largest changes to both the industry as well as technology in general.  It's clear that studios are already attempting to achieve a similar process via scanning background actors and the way that virtual reality has become more of a social platform.Featuring: Bob Rudenborg, Jon MarekEditing: Jon MarekTheme: Brian Adams-Find Us Across the Web: https://www.thebutchandthebi.com/links

"Nobody gets through this life unscathed. Not you, not me, Mr. Shaky Hands. But then you're left with a choice. Are you going to let your grief drown you, or are or are you going to face it and come through the other side?"Apple TV's “Shrinking” is a beautiful exploration of grief and the family you choose. It is also one of the best written and well-performed shows of the year and the creatives both behind the scenes and on the screen deserve fair compensation, residuals that reflect the streaming landscape and protections from studios stealing their work and likeness. In solidarity with both the WGA and SAG-AFTRA's strikes, this will be the last episode covering a project produced by the AMPTP.If you have any comments or feedback about the new format feel free to Contact UsFeaturing: Bob Rudenborg, Jon MarekEditing: Jon MarekTheme: Brian Adams-Find Us Across the Web: https://www.thebutchandthebi.com/links
