There is a time honored tradition in broadcast television known as The Clip Show. And by time honored we mean "we don't have the budget for more episodes! Do something!" So, that's what we did. This one is a bit of Frankenstein's monster, pulling together unpublished bits of episodes that haven't or cant be aired. It's an experiment. And like many experiments, There might be a few explosions along the way.

In the second part of their exploration of the history of animation, Alan becomes nearly incomprehensible when talking about the how 3D animation works, Mike goes on an odd tangent about the regional differences in the terms for a lunchbox, and generally the whole thing gets silly. We also talk about animation, specifically some of the more obscure things that had a huge influence on our childhoods (back when Dinosaurs roamed the earth), as well as the crossover point between animation for TV and film and for video games.

Mike and Alan go deep in the weeds on the history of animation, eastern and western, and uncover quite a few interesting facts. They tend to forget the NAMES that go with those facts, but then again they are both getting old. Also there is an in depth discussion about the events that led to the beginning of Don Bluth studios and the Disney renaissance of the 90's.

Matthew is one half of BritTrax, a talented writer, and a very nice guy. We talk about Sherlock Holmes, RiffTrax, 70s educational films, and our shared experiences working in both book stores and cinemas. You can find some of his stuff at BritTrax | RiffTrax, Matthew J Elliott - Contributions - Big Finish, and Murder and the Murdochs – Imagination Theater, Detective Harry Nile, Sherlock Holmes Radio Mysteries, Jim French Productions Time got away from me and I neglected to ask two questions I had prepared before the interview, so I contacted him via IM to ask what's it like writing for a character in Seattle in the 50's, when presumably, you've not been there, and how did your parents react when you told them you wanted to be a writer? His responses below: 1) I keep a detailed file of every previous episode of Harry Nile - I call it "the Nile File", highlighting any noteworthy locations and relevant details relating to 1950s. 2) I don't remember ever not wanting to be a writer, really, although my desire to do so probably coincided with my discovery of Marvel comics. Sadly, neither of my parents lived to see me fulfil my dream. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fandorium/message
Bill Murray said in the classic film, What About Bob, "There are two kinds of people in the world; those who like Neil Diamond and those who don't". I think this extends to Dune. This is a long one. I thought about splitting it into two episodes, but then I thought, if you are the kind of person who doesn't like Dune, then you would have to skip two episodes, and if you are the kind that likes Dune, then good news; this is your episode! We were so happy to start recording again, and we think season two will be more fun than the first. We might be wrong though. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fandorium/message

Alan and Michael discuss a bad film they saw last year at RiffTrax Live. Does low budget have to equate to bad story telling? By the way, neither Alan our Michael get the titles right off the stuff they are talking about. The film in question is "Star Raiders: The Adventures of Saber Raine", and the Canadian TV series Michael was trying to remember was "Starhunter". The second season was retooled with a mostly different cast as "Starhunter 2300". Alan also made reference to "Space Rangers", A CBS series that lasted only six episodes. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/fandorium/message
