When Dr. West transfers medical schools, he finds himself entrenched in some pretty significant disagreements with the faculty there. But after his roommate gets his student loans revoked and his professor dies, their desperation has them pushing past the side effects of their research. Can we not be weird about boobs? What are acceptable expectations to have for a quiet roommate? Should we take an anatomy class?

During their 175th episode, Anna and Derek debate if Herbert killed Dan's cat (absolutely he did), why Megan didn't bolt from that gurney (you had a free hand, Meg), and much more during their discussion of the fever dream horror classic Re-Animator (1985). Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

Castaway Cay, Lookout Cay, then Castaway Cay again. First-time guest Courtney joins us straight from her classroom to talk about her family's five-night Disney Fantasy "Double Duo Dip."

What happens when your life is changed forever by a bullet — and the system that is supposed to protect you refuses to take responsibility?In this powerful episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, we sit down with three Nigerians whose lives were permanently changed by violence and a system they say failed them.One was an Uber driver who was shot by armed robbers and lost his sightAnother was an animator who was shot by a drunk police officer. He took the police to court, won his case, yet says he has never received the compensation awarded to him.And joining them is an activist and lawyer, helping unpack the bigger question:Why does a Nigerian life seem to become valuable only after tragedy happens?We discuss:• Police brutality and accountability• The cost of losing your sight• Victims who win in court but still don't get justice• Compensation and the Nigerian justice system• Why cases against powerful institutions can drag for years• The real human cost of insecurity• Who protects the ordinary Nigerian?• And ultimately — WHAT IS A NIGERIAN LIFE WORTH?This is not just a conversation about three victims.It is a conversation about all of us.

The new film Coyote vs. ACME is based on the classic Warner Bros. cartoons featuring the Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote. Today, we listen back to Terry's 1989 interview with animator Chuck Jones. He created the characters, among others, and directed many Looney Tunes cartoons. He says they had specific rules for the characters: “The roadrunner can never harm the Coyote. The Coyote could only harm himself by buying these unfortunate things he gets from the ACME corporation.”Also, we remember singer and composer Cassandra Wilson who defied category but became a bona fide jazz star. Kevin Whitehead has an appreciation and we hear some of her interview with Terry.

881 · The Magic of Disney Animation: An E-Ticket Without a Ride at Disney's Hollywood StudiosThe Magic of Disney Animation gives Disney's Hollywood Studios a new way to explore how the movies we love are made. But I kept coming back to a bigger question: what makes a place feel like a studio when the movies are no longer being made there?This week, join me as we discover what's inside, which details deserve a closer look, and why different people in your family might love completely different parts of the same experience. We'll connect it to the original animation tour and explore why I think this is an E-ticket experience without needing to be an E-ticket ride.A studio open house: How Once Upon a Studio connects the experience, with characters taking over and artwork coming to life.Hidden details worth finding: A Lost and Found with references to Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Treasure Planet, plus a chandelier whose paintbrushes were individually named by Disney artists.Inside the Animator's Office: Personal objects, familiar tools, and unexpected references that bring you closer to the people behind the films.Characters with a purpose: Why Mulan is in Story, Rapunzel is in Layout, and Goofy has somehow been entrusted with Lighting at Off the Page!An unexpected Mulan moment: The conversation that brought back a memory of my son and changed how I think about character encounters.Olaf Draws! and Eric Goldberg: The thread connecting Robin Williams in Back to Neverland to drawing Genie, and why my own attempt came with a written apology.Room to play and discover: Mary Blair's influence on Drawn to Wonderland, and why I'd leave yourself time to wander.There's history, humor, practical advice, and a drawing that probably raises more questions than it answers. What part of The Magic of Disney Animation would you most want to spend time exploring, and why?

In partnership with RENDR Festival and supported by the National Talent Academy for VFX, we are delighted to present this very special speaker series. Recorded live at RENDR 2026 in Banana Block, Belfast, we spoke with Belfast-born stand up, director, animator, and Associate Creative Director at BUCK, Jennifer Zheng. Her BAFTA-nominated short film Tough – exploring the complexities of her and her mother's cultural identities – has screened at over 80 international festivals, including Sundance and SXSW, and received 17 awards. Alongside her directorial work, Zheng has collaborated with global clients such as Netflix, Google DeepMind, Headspace, and The White Stripes. Listen now on SoundCloud, Apple, Spotify, Acast and Amazon, or subscribe to Film Ireland wherever you get your podcasts. https://www.filmireland.net/podcast-director-designer-animator-jennifer-zhengThis series of talks was recorded in The Spinners Mill Studio, a podcast and DJ studio based in Banana Block offering tailored solutions for DJ sessions, small-scale events and podcasting from concept to final distribution. Follow them on Insta / Facebook / TikTokJennifer ZhengJen learned to draw the normal way: by drawing the same boiled egg for a month because her dad told her 'Da Vinci started that way' – he didn't*. After eggs, she drew exclusively Hollywood A-lister headshots with the grid method: Her Angelina Jolie was spectacular. Now Jen has found a career where drawing the same thing over and over isn't considered crazy: animation.She grew up Chinese in the rolling concrete flats of Belfast, Northern Ireland where it was so white she would sometimes forget that she was Asian ... so the other girls at school would complain that their fake tan kept rubbing off, and she'd say back 'I dunno what's wrong with you girls, because mine never comes off.' The prejudices she experienced growing up taught her the importance of empathy, which is a theme that permeates her work. Her short film Tough on her and her mother's conflicting cultural identities was nominated for a BAFTA, won 17 awards, and screened at over 80 international film festivals including Sundance and SXSW. She is currently Associate Creative Director at BUCK and has worked with clients like The White Stripes, Netflix, Headspace & Google Deepmind. Notably, she's led the design of genitals & illustrations for OMGYes, co-wrote & creative directed a short for GitHub starring Phil Wang, and recently directed the animated portion of David Wilson's music video for Mabel ‘Look At My Body pt.II' – a psychedelic feminist retelling of the original sin. On the side, she is an award-winning stand-up comedian, Playgrounds In Motion London host, erotica zine publisher, and t-shirt tiedyer.*Da Vinci never repeatedly drew eggs, this seems to be a China-specific conspiracy.Website / InstagramRENDR FestivalThis is a unique event celebrating creative craft and artistry in a fully immersive two-day festival exploring the space between Creativity and Technology.

Matthew Toffolo interviewed Sandrine Lambert, a filmmaker from Belgium, about her one-minute animation film from the Under 5 Minute Film Festival. Sandrine explained how she wrote down memories daily and transformed them into short films, with this particular piece depicting her personal experience of discovering she wanted to be pregnant while her partner wasn't ready yet. She described creating the film entirely by herself, including drawing, voice-over, and piano music, investing 130 hours in the animation work over approximately one month of overtime work. Sandrine discussed her background in children's book illustration for over 25 years and her more recent discovery of stop-motion animation, preferring analog methods to maintain simplicity and avoid AI technology. The film, set in a bathroom, explores themes of isolation and personal decision-making, with Matthew suggesting potential for future sequels following her pregnancy journey. Sandrine mentioned she is currently working on an erotic film and expressed interest in future collaborations, particularly with sound designers and her son, who is studying animation. https://www.instagram.com/avondroodboeken/ —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

Drawing from John 14 and 1 Corinthians 1, it contrasts the world's wisdom with the foolishness of the cross, emphasizing that salvation and spiritual growth rely entirely on the Spirit's power rather than human eloquence or intellect. The message warns against relying on persuasive speech or denominational pride, asserting that true faith stands only in God's power. It encourages believers to depend on the Holy Spirit for witness and understanding, acknowledging that without Him, no spiritual fruit can be produced. Ultimately, the teaching affirms that God chooses the weak and foolish to confound the wise, directing all glory to Christ alone.

The Pencil Pushers podcast interviews stop-motion animator/director Justin Rasch, who has worked for 30 years across games, TV, and film, including ParaNorman, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Guillermo del Toro's Oscar-winning Pinocchio, and now directs/writes/supervises at Stump Puppet Pictures while sharing process online. Rasch recounts growing up in Florida inspired by comics, classic cartoons, Secret of NIMH, and practical effects artists, studying 2D and effects at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, then switching to CG after Jurassic Park. He describes breaking in by portfolio-hunting in 1990s LA, choosing Konami, and later leading animation at Luxoflux on projects like Shrek and True Crime: Streets of LA. Rasch explains how animation principles transfer across 2D/CG/stop motion, details his stop-motion workflow (blocking, shooting on twos, then final on ones), discusses why stop motion is hard to "control," and reflects on AI, audience interest in process, and working with Travis Knight and del Toro. He shares where to find him on Instagram and YouTube.

The Walt Disney Company is the most successful enterprise ever created for monetizing human nostalgia. Today it's the king of global entertainment, holding the intellectual property rights to the childhood memories of billions of people (including, likely, all of you) and is a reliable, predictable profitable business. But it didn't start that way.During Walt's era, Disney operated like an unhinged moonshot factory, blowing its finances on one seemingly crazy project after another, like the very first feature-length animated film or a theme park inspired by Walt's fascination with model trains (spoiler: Disneyland). Walt's relentless ambition to bet the company over and over again not only created some of the most monumental artistic achievements of the 20th century (Snow White, Fantasia, Disney Imagineering), but also resulted in the accidental invention of the modern “flywheel” business model. In this episode, we tell the story of the ultimate marriage of art, commerce, and engineering — The Walt Disney Company: Walt's Era.Sponsors:Many thanks to our fantastic Spring '26 Season partners:J.P.

Some famous names in Hollywood will be presented with honorary Oscars in mid-November. The AP's Jennifer King reports.

After more than 15 years as a Lead and Senior Technical Director of Lighting and Creative Services Marketing at PIXAR Animation Studios, Jesse launched a new venture. His goal: to reimagine the animation studio model by leveraging AI from the ground up, ushering in a new era of cinematic animated entertainment. His latest venture, ILLUMINAI Studios, operates on the ethos that while technology evolves, the "soul" of animation remains uniquely human.Jesse and his team are committed to the ethical sourcing and implementation of AI throughout our development and production pipelines. To ILLUMINAI, AI is a powerful brush, not the artist. They take deliberate steps to ensure human creative ownership remains the heartbeat of every frame.By integrating AI ethically, Jesse and his team can expedite the technical complexities of production without ever sacrificing the exceptional quality and emotional depth that families expect. Their mission is to empower creators, not replace them, ensuring that the artists who build our worlds are respected, protected, and inspired to deliver the highest standards of family entertainmentBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

We hit pause for a year, then realized something: Disney doesn't stop changing just because we do. So we're back with a different kind of trip report and a big first for our family, a four night Disney Cruise Line sailing on the Disney Fantasy, plus a pre-cruise day in Orlando that turns into one last nostalgia lap around Walt Disney World.We talk honestly about what we've missed (and what we don't), from recent Walt Disney World closures that tug on our memories to updates we're actually excited to see, like the Carousel of Progress refresh. That leads straight into the bigger decision: choosing a Disney cruise as our next “classic Disney” fix while the kids grow up and our travel goals widen beyond theme parks. We explain why the Disney Fantasy feels like the right first ship, why Wish class dining doesn't really fit our style, and why Animator's Palate is at the top of our must-do list.Then we lay out the plan day by day with practical Disney Cruise planning tips: why we always fly in the day before, how one-day Disney park ticket prices changed our pre-cruise strategy, and why we'd rather do a Polynesian pool day with fireworks than rush a half-day at Animal Kingdom. Onboard, we're chasing the best food, the iconic ship horns, the Rainforest Room spa reset, teen clubs for the boys, and a special adults-only dinner at Palo. In port, we're keeping it simple with beach time on Castaway Cay and Disney Lookout Key at Lighthouse Point, plus a little shopping and snorkeling for hidden Disney history.If you're planning a Disney cruise to the Bahamas or just love hearing how other families build a Disney vacation that actually fits their season of life, hit play.

On this day, 29 May 1941, animators for Disney in Los Angeles walked out on strike when 16 union cartoonists were fired for demanding union recognition, including Goofy creator Art Babbitt. Disney workers held a mass meeting the previous day where an assistant to Babbitt put forward a motion to strike, which was approved. On May 29, hundreds of men and women set up picket lines outside Disney studios and set up a protest camp in a field across the road. The majority of cartoonists, including non-union members, respected the strike. Warner Bros cartoonists also marched over to Disney at one point dressed as French revolutionaries from 1789. Union chefs from nearby restaurants also showed solidarity with the strike by cooking for pickets before and after work. One day rumours circulated that hired thugs were going to attack the strikers, so mechanics from Burbank airport armed themselves with wrenches and went to guard the strikers' camp.Walt Disney drove across the picket line every day, and on one occasion got out of his car to try to attack Babbitt. Eventually, after five weeks, the strike was settled by mediators who ruled in favour of the union on every issue, and the workers received pay increases of nearly 50% in many cases. Babbitt also won his job back following a lawsuit. Walt Disney was bitter about his defeat until he died (lol). More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10122/disney-animators'-strikeOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.
