Tune in as Jackson Leight (creator of the satirical RWBY news website https://bumbleby.com) teams up with Arthur to dissect Volume 1 of RWBY, the American anime web series that online entertainment company Rooster Teeth premiered in 2013. RWBY has been lasting for eight seasons so far, and now 2CC (which already dropped a brief episode on Volume 8 back during the podcast's text-to-voice days) is returning to where it all started in the world of Remnant when teenage Huntresses-in-training Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee, Blake Belladonna, and Yang Xiao Long started their combat schooling at Beacon Academy to learn how to fight the Creatures of Grimm. The anime physics, the many weapons that can transform into guns, the superficial racism allegory, and the time that Arthur spends obsessing over the proper term for a chess piece's color are just a few of the topics addressed by this episode. Created by Monty Oum (Red vs. Blue), RWBY Volume 1 stars Lindsay Jones, Kara Eberle, Arryn Zech, Barbara Dunkelman, Miles Luna, Jen Brown, Samantha Ireland, Monty Oum, Shannon McCormick, Gray Haddock, Taylor McNee, Kathleen Zuelch, Michael Jones, Adam Ellis, Ryan Haywood, Joel Heyman, Caiti Ward, Jessica Nigri, and William Orendorff.

We made a very fun return to what is now referred to as, Fan Expo Denver! We've been with this comic con in Denver, since it's inception, either just as fans, but mostly as press! What started as Denver Comic Con, then Denver Pop Culture Con, has now flourished in Fan Expo Denver! And we attended their "special edition" which occurred over Halloween weekend! While we were there, we were able to speak with actor, Barbara Dunkelman! Among some awesome accomplishments, Barbara is the Creative Director for the production company Rooster Teeth. Rooster Teeth is responsible for productions like Red vs Blue, Camp Camp, and RWBY. For today's interview with Barbara, we of course focused mostly on the anime, RWBY, in which she is the voice for Yang Xiao Long. RWBY is a very popular English anime, and so popular in fact, that it has been translated from English to Japanese!! "RWBY (pronounced "Ruby") is an American anime-influenced adult computer-animated web series created by Monty Oum for Rooster Teeth. It is set in the fictional world of Remnant, where young people train to become warriors (called "Huntsmen" and "Huntresses") to protect their world from monsters called Grimm." Just as an FYI, something funky was going on with our mic, but Barbara sounds perfect, so the episode does have a strange flow to it, but we couldn't pass up on the opportunity to release Barbara's thoughts on RWBY, Rooster Teeth, and her awesome career!  SUBSCRIBE: Apple Podcasts | Android |  Spotify | Pandora | RSS Tell us what you think!Leave us a voicemail at 970-573-6148Send us feedback and/or MP3's to outsidethelongbox@gmail.comFollow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Youtube!Support the podcast on Patreon!Credit - Doyle Daniels, Juan Muro, Gabe Llanas, Tim Huskey

Since 2017, Nick and Justin of the Epic Film Guys have dedicated a block of time each year to livestream their podcast and other content in order to raise funds for the Cancer Research Institute. This organization researches immunotherapy with the goal of curing all forms of cancer. They are among some of the most reputable charities out there with a rating of 92% on CharityNavigator.org. Last year's Livestream for the Cure 2.0 (check it out here) was a resounding success. In 30 hours live on the air, the Epic Film Guys raised over $5,000 for cancer research and an additional $780 for Perry Johnson, a fellow podcaster who guested on the event and was diagnosed with stage IV esophageal cancer shortly before it began. Because they smashed their goal and because of their amazing community of peers and fellow podcasters, they decided this year’s event should be even bigger and better. The 3rd Annual Livestream for the Cure will be held from May 17th through the 19th, and the Epic Film Guys will be live for FORTY hours as they try to hit their biggest goal yet and raise $7,500. The event will be held live at https://twitch.tv/epicfilmguys and will include dozens of fellow content creators and podcasters who are joining them to reach this common goal. They will be live for 40 hours from the following times (all are EST): May 17th: 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM May 18th: 10:00 AM to 2:00 AM May 19th: 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Follow the event on Facebook or follow @livestream4cure on Twitter for updates and guest information. Links for merchandise (all proceeds go toward the total) and other information will be coming in the near future. To make a donation before and during the event, visit LivestreamfortheCure.com. Let's make this the biggest year for the Livestream for the Cure yet! Together, we can make a difference!
