We talk entirely about TV shows for some reason. My job was unusually easy here.
Emmy award winning Chris Prynoski is the president and founder of Titmouse, an animation production company with offices in Los Angeles, New York and Vancouver. His animation career began in New York with his work on MTV shows such as Beavis and Butt-head, Daria and his Emmy nominated creation MTV Downtown. Chris and his wife Shannon then moved to LA to launch Titmouse, a home for passionate artists making high-quality cartoons. Prynoski has helped bring to life a string of hits including the feature film Nerdland along with Metalocalypse, China IL, Black Dynamite, Superjail!, The Venture Bros, Big Mouth, Tigtone, and Mao Mao: Heroes of Pure Heart. He wears many hats, including executive producing, show running and directing.
The stars aligned and we had time to do what we do best this week, consume. Its a lot and the episode is late so here you go: Baldur's Gate 3, Divinity Original Sin 2, Song of the Sea, Infinity Train, China IL, Alien, Zodiac, The Night Eats the World, Karate Kill, and Record of Ragnarok. Trailer time kicks off at 42 minutes with Sylvie's Love, Hillbilly Elegy, Jiu Jitsu, Monster Hunter, the Mortuary Collection, and The Empty Man. Movie talk at 1 hour. Whew. Next week: Annabelle Creation
If you haven't watched the movie for this week....maybe don't. It's not good. What is good is Baldur's Gate 3 and Lord of the Rings and China IL and American Horror Story. Slightly less good is Hubie Halloween but honestly, at this point, who's keeping score? IMDB is. That's who. Trailer time at 47 minutes with Wolfwalkers, Fatman, John Bronco, and The Expanse Season 5! Movie talk at 1 hour. Next week: Color Out of Space

Matty P Radio Presents: Marks v. Pros & Saturday Morning Cereal
Take some time this week to remember your original happy hour: Saturday mornings as a kid, waking up at dawn, jumping on the couch with a bowl of cereal, turning on the ‘toons, tuning out the outside world, and working your way into a sugar hangover before noon. Join us for Part 2 of our big Adult Swim marathon! In this vintage episode we talk about the "cartoons for grown ups" phenomenon and continue our Adult Swim fascination with a look at China, IL. We talk to star Gary Anthony Williams, and creators-writers-producers-actors-songwriters Brad Neely and Daniel Weidenfeld.
Why doesn't Adult Swim seem to work outside of the United States? Does it just not translate anywhere culturally? Or is it because of corporate politics? Karl Olson (Ultraklystron) returns along with animation storyboarder Corey Barnes (who's worked on Archer, China IL, Superjail! and Axe Cop) to mull over why the subversive network has such a hard time gaining traction in international markets. We also talk about Spider Riders. 4:20 - Anime Revolution and some lessons in Spider Riders nostalgia 12:00 - All about Adult Swim

It's a special NYCC animated series interview special! Jimmy sat in on the round tables for Archer and chatted with Adam Reed, Aisha Tyler, Jessica Walter, Judy Greer, Amber Nash, and Lucky Yates. For Rick and Morty, it was Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. China, IL brought us Brad Neely, Daniel Weidenfeld, and Brooke Hogan. Great rooms all (especially for Archer). Leave your iTunes comments! 5 stars and nothing but love! Thanks for listening!
China IL showrunner and all around rad dude Daniel Weidenfeld stops by to talk shop and explain the animation process, Kevin relives his days of filming stunts, and Geoff shows up just in time to do a whole new episode! Double strength episode power!
