Jack Shih is a friend of Kailea's that she met while living in LA, teaching his daughter kindergarten. Jack is an Emmy Award-winning Animation Director and Producer. Jack worked on South Park for 20 years (Animation Director and Producer) and his recent projects include being a Director on Clone High, Little Demon, and Praise Petey. Jack's experience growing up in a family that defended their positions, how he learned to always cover his bases, and how challenging someone can show intellectual respect Who we can be draft versions of ourselves with? Having a beginner's mindset, and how challenging it is to be playful without expectation Can we learn to be ok feeling embarrassed, or is the goal to not feel embarrassment at all? (Either by being so good, or genuinely not caring what others appraise you as?) Being envious of naïve people (i.e. those who think they are good but are actually bad). How are some people unphased by this? Why do we experience second hand embarrassment on their behalf? What do we wish for our kids when it comes to avoiding embarrassment? How do we model safety in trying? Whose ‘eyes' do we trust? Who can we soften into being a learner with? When we need clearly defined roles of ‘teacher' vs. ‘student' and seek the safety of an authentic leader but reject those who are not capable of providing real guidance.

Jack Shih is a friend of Kailea's that she met while living in LA, teaching his daughter kindergarten. Jack is an Emmy Award-winning Animation Director and Producer. Jack worked on South Park for 20 years (Animation Director and Producer) and his recent projects include being a Director on Clone High, Little Demon, and Praise Petey. Jack is one of Kailea's favourite people in the world to talk to because of the way he thinks – he has a complex, uniquely sharp yet sensitive view on the world that always leaves her learning and questioning with unexpected moments of tenderness and vulnerability. Kailea and Jack discuss the challenge with memories. Do we believe what we believe ourselves because of what others told us about ourselves? Or because of our own lived experiences? Exploring gossip, why we sh++ talk, what does it mean to be ‘in the arena' vs. ‘in the cheap seats' and how does this affect our perception of ourselves and others. Fear of ‘not belonging' or being caught in a conversation not knowing what you are talking about. We are so grateful to our incredible sponsors.

It's been a long time. I know. Sorry about that. Life happens. Anyway, we recorded this back in October of 2021 and then "stuff" happened and we didn't get around to editing or posting it. So "today" Derek and I talk to Animation Director and creator, Dan Povenmire, of Phineas and Ferb fame. Dan gets to talking about his TikTok channel, YouTube shorts, how he and Swampy and their animation team (WHICH DEREK USED TO BE ON!!!) would come up with the stories, plots, songs, etc. How the pandemic affected work, life, etc. And more etc. etc. as we just kinda talk about random stuff. But that is what Random Fandom is all about anyway, right?
"Marcel The Shell With Shoes On" premiered at the Telluride Film Festival in 2021 and received universal acclaim for its story as the viral YouTube internet sensation transitioned to a feature film and the voice acting from Jenny Slate and Isabella Rossellini.

Producer and writer Elisabeth Holm and Animation Director Kirsten Lepore were kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work on the film and reflecting on the experience all this time later.
