It's Christmas Eve! Bob bless us everyone. We will let you pick into your stockings early and give you a holiday themed 6-Pack featuring hour long stop-motion TV specials by those seasonal legends Arthur Rankin & Jules Bass. Or just Rankin/Bass if you wanna get nasty under the mistletoe. These are the specials, a few based on some old hit Christmas songs, that generations came to know and love and added a mythology to the holiday season that still seems to resonate in pop culture. You know who we're talkin' about. Rudolph, Santa, Heimey, Topper, Aeon, Heat Miser, Mrs. Claus and the Great Ack. Everyone loves the Great Ack. These specials span over two decades. We found links to all the specials we discussed so we will pop a convenient link list for you below if you want to revisit any of them. Merry Christmas.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! And nothing says Christmas like classic TV holiday specials! Over the next two weeks, we'll be toasting and roasting two of the most famous from the duo of Rankin and Bass. Which of them belongs on the Nice List and which one deserves a shiny lump of coal in its stocking. This is Legends of Christmas! Airing sixty years ago this month, the first Rankin and Bass Christmas special asked if you recall the most famous reindeer of all. Based on the children's book by Robert L. May, originally published by Montgomery Ward, and made perhaps even more famous by the Gene Autry version of song written by May's brother-in-law Johnny Marks. The most famous version of all is the TV special produced by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, sponsored by GE, which aired on NBC and adapted the original story into an “Animagic” stop-motion saga featuring Rudolph, Hermey, Sam the Snowman, Yukon Cornelius, the Bumble, and more. An instant classic, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer kicked off a tradition of Rankin/Bass Christmas specials, including Frosy the Snowman, Santa Claus Is Comin' to Town, and The Year Without a Santa Claus. But does this one go down in history, or down in flames? For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

“Why am I such a misfit? I am not just a nitwit. You can't fire me, I quit! Seems I don't fit in.” It's a Rankin/Bass “Animagic” Christmas Spectacular here at Movies That Made Us Gay, and we watched “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer,” “The Year Without a Santa Claus,” “The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus,” and “Nestor, the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey” with our friend Harper Thomson and we still want to visit the island of misfit toys. These charming stop-motion animation TV specials from the 1960s, 70s, and 80s have been airing for as long as any of us can remember, and it's just not the holidays until we watch at least one of them. What little queer child didn't feel seen as Rudolph was banished from gym class and made to hide his light? Little Hermey the elf just not feeling his 9-to-5 job making toys really speaks to the Gen Z in all of us, and are you even queer if you don't shed a tear when that raggedy doll sings her song on the island of misfit toys? All that and a ginger daddy/bear who loves dogs (and peppermint), and it almost seems as though this was made for and by the gays. There was just something in the sauce Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass were churning because each of these specials just tugs at your heartstrings and makes the little queer kid inside us weep, laugh, and light up. Oh, and the Heat & Snow Miser's songs are high camp, burlesque magic.

Our friend Jen has brought us a semi-forgotten Rankin-Bass Halloween movie that features racially-tinged zombies, sexual harrassment, and a bad Jimmy Stewart impression. Maybe there's a reason this doesn't often show up on TV. Starring Boris Karloff, Phyllis Diller, Allen Swift, and Gale Garnette. Written by Arthur Rankin Jr., Len Korobkin and Harvey Kurtzman. Directed by Jules Bass.
“Mare? MARE? I? A HORSE? Is THAT what you take me for? Is THAT what you see?” We watched “The Last Unicorn” all by our lonesome and we're still recovering from our 1980's dark fantasy streak. What was it about the energy of 1980's kids movies that just fascinated us at the same time as scare the living dickens out of us? This movie is filled with spooky imagery, dark themes and can be downright scary but like a ton of similar ‘80s kids movies - we just love it! Mia Farrow as the Unicorn and the Lady Amalthea gives an ethereal performance filled with sorrow and melancholy - you know, kids stuff. The beautiful character design and water color backgrounds reel us in, but creepy characters like Mommy Fortuna (voiced by the ICON Angela Lansbury) and the unforgettable harpy give us the creeps to this day. When the Red Bull attacks we're still on the edge of our seats. We discuss the lore of unicorns, and the reboots that haven't manage to materialize. We were My Little Pony boys for sure, so The Last Unicorn was practically made for us, but the fantastic and spooky imagery combined with the hippy-dippy soundtrack makes for classic ‘80s kids movies.

TVC 644.6a: Greg Ehrbar discusses the Kino Lorber Blu-ray release of The Daydreamer (1966), a feature-length live-action and Animagic-animated adaptation of some of the most famous fairytales of Hans Christian Andersen that was produced by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, and which featured the talents of Hayley Mills, Tallulah Bankhead, Jack Guilford, Margaret Hamilton, Ray Bolger, Boris Karloff, Burl Ives, Victor Borge, Terry-Thomas, Ed Wynn, Patty Duke, and Robert Goulet. Though unsuccessful at the box office at the time it was originally released, The Daydreamer, in many respects, served as a precursor to the many television specials that Rankin-Bass produced throughout the 1970s.

The Rankin-Bass adaptation of Peter S. Beagle's fairy tale about the last unicorn in the world and the small band of humans who help her is a melancholy story gorgeously animated by the Japanese studio Topcraft. This was a favorite movie of Mary's as a kid, but completely unknown to Dennis. This month, we fix that. Starring Mia Farrow, Alan Arkin, Tammy Grimes, Jeff Bridges, Christopher Lee, Keenan Wynn, Rene Auberjonois, and Angela Lansbury. Written by Peter S. Beagle. Driected by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.

Rankin-Bass are responsible for several classics, from The Hobbit and The Last Unicorn to Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Santa Claus is Comin' to Town. This is not one of them. No, it's twee Stage Irish nonsense with Americans doing terrible accents, and a complete misunderstanding what a banshee (bean sí) is. Also, apparently St. Patrick is a leprechaun. Whatever. Starring Art Carney, Peggy Cass, Bob McFadden, Ken Jennings (not that Ken Jennings), and Christine Mitchell. Written by Romeo Muller, and directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr.
Mark, Jesse, and “The Invisible One” Justin Thomas come together to watch an animated film that left a traumatizing impression on many a child back in the 80's. And that is why we are here to discuss “The Last Unicorn” as Mark felt the need to revisit it to just see if his fears were justified.Don't expect this to be an enlightening commentary, expect horrible humor, poor puns, and illegitimate illetaration. But if you have some time, set your internets to FUN and put us in your earholes. Here we go!The Last Unicorn is a 1982 American animated fantasy film about a unicorn who, upon learning that she is the last of her species on Earth, goes on a quest to find out what has happened to others of her kind. Based on the 1968 novel The Last Unicorn written by Peter S. Beagle, who also wrote the film's screenplay, the film was directed and produced by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass. It was produced by Rankin/Bass Productions for ITC Entertainment and animated by Topcraft.The film includes the voices of Alan Arkin, Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow, Angela Lansbury, and Christopher Lee. The soundtrack was composed and arranged by Jimmy Webb, and songs were performed by the group America and the London Symphony Orchestra, with additional vocals provided by Lucy Mitchell. The film grossed $6.5 million in the United States.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsoFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulich

Here are those episodes: - Episode 50: Interview with Stephanie Ascough - Episode 182: The Wistful WildKate is an author of dark fantasy romance and contemporary fantasy stories.

Here are those episodes: - Episode 175: Writing sex scenes- Episode 190: A panel on neurodiversity and creativityTowards the beginning of this episode, Fable mentions a post that Kate had on Instagram about the male friendships in this series. That post can be found here. In this conversation, we reference several different quotes from the LOTR books. They are:Sam: “His thought turned to the Ring, but there was no comfort there, only dread and danger. No sooner had he come in sight of Mount Doom, burning far away, than he was aware of a change in his burden. As it drew near the great furnaces where, in the deeps of time, it had been shaped and forged, the Ring's power grew, and it became more fell, untameable except by some mighty will. As Sam stood there, even though the Ring was not on him but hanging by its chain about his neck, he felt himself enlarged, as if he were robed in a huge distorted shadow of himself, a vast and ominous threat halted upon the walls of Mordor. He felt that he had from now on only two choices: to forbear the Ring, though it would torment him; or to claim it, and challenge the Power that sat in its dark hold beyond the valley of shadows. Already the Ring tempted him, gnawing at his will and reason. Wild fantasies arose in his mind; and he saw Samwise the Strong, Hero of the Age, striding with a flaming sword across the darkened land, and armies flocking to his call as he marched to the overthrow of Barad-dur. And then all the clouds rolled away, and the white sun shone, and at his command the vale of Gorgoroth became a garden of flowers and trees and brought forth fruit. He had only to put on the Ring and claim it for his own, and all this could be. In that hour of trial it was his love of his master that helped most to hold him firm; but also deep down in him lived still unconquered his plain hobbit-sense: he knew in the core of his heart that he was not large enough to bear such a burden, even if such visions were not a mere cheat to betray him. The one small garden of a free gardener was all his need and due, not a garden swollen to a realm; his own hands to use, not the hands of others to command. 'And anyway all these notions are only a trick, he said to himself.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the KingFrodo: 'It's a pity Bilbo didn't kill Gollum when he had the chance.'Gandalf: 'Pity? It's a pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends. My heart tells me that Gollum has some part to play in it, for good or evil, before this is over. The pity of Bilbo may rule the fate of many.' Frodo: 'I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.'Gandalf: 'So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides that of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring, in which case you were also meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring“A time may come soon," said he, "when none will return. Then there will be need of valour without renown, for none shall remember the deeds that are done in the last defence of your homes. Yet the deeds will not be less valiant because they are unpraised."She answered: "All your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Eorl and not a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or death.""What do you fear, lady?" he asked."A cage," she said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the KingWe also referenced several movie clips from the films in this conversation. They are:- LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring - The Death of Boromir- Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) - I Am No Man Scene | Movieclips- LOTR The Two Towers - Gollum and SméagolTowards the end of this episode, the Verbivore references a funny conversation between the actors who played Merry (Dominic and Pippin (Billy Boyd) on their podcast where they talk about lines where they'd put a cuss word into the LOTR films - including the “Fool of a Took” scene in Moria.

Jared, Oriana and Ned continue our own epic trilogy with a look at our collective choice of topic: Peter Jackson's version of The Two Towers. Turning 20 years old this month, The Two Towers built on the success of the previous year's The Fellowship of the Ring, becoming another holiday blockbuster and continuing the overall story, as well as introducing the wider world to a variety of striking performances, among them Bernard Hill as Theoden, Miranda Otto as Eowyn and most famously and indelibly, Andy Serkis's compelling performance as Gollum, further interpreted by the Weta digital effects team to bring the character to life as an animation. All three of us have our own distinct memories and experiences of watching it for the first time and we've seen it any number of times since, but returning to it as a standalone film – as with our previous Fellowship episode, we went back to the original theatrical cut – made something clear to us: it's not all that great. Many different moments are absolutely indelible as already noted and there's no way something like The Rings of Power can even come close to it, but compared to the absolute triumph of Jackson's Fellowship, his Two Towers is the odd one out of the series as a whole. What about the structure of the story as adapted, filmed and edited meant that this might have always been the weak center of the sequence? What moments in particular are absolutely perfect – and what decisions are baffling then and now? Exactly how much Helm's Deep did there have to be in the first place – and do all the decisions that go into the making of that sequence as being central rest on the best foundation? And how great does Serkis's performance and the realization of Gollum as a character remain overall? (Answer: utterly.)SHOW NOTES.Jared's doodle. If that seems familiar, look back a year…Follow the HarperCollins Union Twitter feed for strike news.Andy Serkis reading the Silmarillion? We are intrigued, we are. Hail and farewell to Jules Bass.We do recommend relistening to our Fellowship episode; plenty of relevant show notes too.The Frodo Franchise is a very good read for sure.The original teaser trailer attached to the end of The Fellowship of the Ring at the conclusion of that film's theatrical run.The first official trailer is good, no question, but the second one with the Requiem for a Dream music? Man oh man. Kazaa! Ah Internet nostalgia. Phew, that opening scene. What a way to start up again.We do miss the Huorns, even if they showed up a little bit in the extended version – but not by name.It's a mix of perfect moments and ‘hmmm' bits but the whole start to the Helm's Deep battle definitely is key to the film.Arwen was indeed filmed at being at Helm's Deep and there are background images of her here and there. (Lindsay Ellis's essay the other month has a bit more about that.)Zulu, the British film from 1964 that inspired Jackson's take on Helm's Deep, is…a caution. (As stated, Zulu Dawn is more interesting in comparison.)The look on Theoden's face after he takes in the explosion – that's good acting.Edoras, an absolute triumph of set design, construction, visual effects and cinematography – so it was, so it remains. (Here's a visit to the set area on Mt. Sunday from a couple of years ago.)Feel free to pick up a copy of The Deadwood Bible by Matt Zoller Seitz if you like, and appreciate Oriana's work helping make it happen!Brad Dourif's tear (and the scene overall). Wormtongue's confrontation scene with Eowyn is in the Edoras clip linked above.The Eowyn/Aragorn blade clash/confrontation scene? Good, good stuff. (The warg attack scene, less so.)Where to begin with Gollum? Frustratingly the extended Two Towers documentary segment on Gollum doesn't appear to be on YouTube but Serkis's book on working on the character is easily available and a very good read.Do you really want to know about the monkey from the 1997 Lost in Space? Do you? Fine. Enjoy a video tribute. Now Gollum does act like a cat here, true. And the ‘yeees?!?' moment remains awesome.The self-confrontation scene. You know it.“PO-TA-TOES.”The buildup to Gollum snarling “My PRECIOUS!” at Faramir is truly striking.David Wenham dealing with Van Helsing. The film that is. (And yeah yeah 300.)Gandalf returns and Ian McKellen's hair levels up.The whole “give up the weapons/wink/'I TOLD you to take the WIZARD'S STAFF'” sequence – just a treat.The meat was always on the menu, really.“The Riders of Rohan” is one of Howard Shore's most gripping pieces, still.“Gollum's Song” is really good if you haven't heard it in a bit. (Emiliana Torrini's website will be back soon, it seems.)Sheila Chandra = next level. As is “Breath of Life.”Isabel Bayrakdarian = also next level, and so is “Evenstar.”“The Last March of the Ents” is another remarkable moment of music. “Release the RIVER!”Support By-The-Bywater and our network, Megaphonic, on Patreon and you can hang out with us on a friendly Discord!

Today, we dig into the Off-Ramp archives to pay tribute to a man named Jules Bass, who was a part of our childhood. Bass died Tuesday at the age of 87. With his partner, the late Arthur Rankin, Jr., Bass produced some of the most beloved children's Christmas TV specials: "The Little Drummer Boy," "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," "Frosty the Snowman," and one more that maybe isn't really a Christmas special at all. In 2012, Off-Ramp's RH Greene argued cogently that "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" was a Jewish origin story for Santa ... essentially a Hanukkah special. The clues are all there in plain sight: The villains are cartoon Nazis who burn toys instead of books. Santa is a foundling, like Moses, raised by Tante Kringle -- the Yiddish word for "aunt." And Santa is a freedom fighter, whose ragged band make an Exodus to their own promised land in the cold desert. Support for this podcast comes from Gordon and Dona Crawford, who believe that quality journalism makes Los Angeles a better place to live; and by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private corporation funded by the American people.

The annual Christmas specials of veteran stop-motion legends Alan Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass have permeated our pop culture in an unforgettable fashion. The many iconic expansions they rendered, formatting old holiday songs into forty-minute television specials, has encapsulated for so many of us the very essence of the season itself. To decide once and for all which of these stand the test of time we're undertaking an entire retrospective evaluation of the Rankin/Bass Christmas filmography. Not just the iconic classics we grew up watching on television, but the more obscure productions too. For this first entry, we'll be covering the first five directorial specials of the duo, ranging from the annual favorite Santa Claus is Comin' to Town (1970) to the wildly bizarre and artistically baffling Cricket on the Hearth (1967). Join us as we warm ourselves around the fire and spin a yarn about these storied Christmas classics.
The holiday season is upon us, fiends! And you know what that means: time for your hosts to ruin your childhood with beloved claymation figures who love toxic masculinity, ethnic stereotypes, and lightly veiled copyright infringement. Enjoy the beloved Rankin/Bass production that's NOT about the holiday season! Please rate, review, and tell your fiends. And be sure to subscribe so you don't miss future installments.

Jodi and Philip discuss 'The Last Unicorn' (1982) from Rankin/Bass Animated Entertainment. Directed by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, the animation was primary completed by Topcraft in Japan, which would later be acquired by Studio Ghibli. A majestic and mysterious unicorn inhabits and enchanted forest, but overhears that she may be the only remaining unicorn. Following a tip from an eccentric butterfly, the unicorn sets out in search of the Red Bull, said to have been responsible for the unicorns' disappearance. The unicorn's journey brings her into contact with an assortment of characters, including companions such as the enigmatic Schmendrick the magician and Molly the forest-dweller.

Yes folks. The long awaited Lord of the Rings Retrospective from Binge Media is upon us. However, before horror director Peter Jackson embarked on a journey through J.R.R. Tolkien's world of Middle Earth, that journey was taken by Arthur Rankin Jr and Jules Bass, with a little Ralph Bakshi thrown in for good measure. But how did it all come about? And why did Bakshi become such a grumpy bastard during the entire process? Join Matt, Adam, and myself as we start our look at Middle Earth with these three seminal 70s and 80s animated features. After Ralph Bakshi appeared with his feature The Lord of the Rings, it looked like Rankin/Bass wouldn't be able to finish their foray into Middle Earth. But little did Bakshi know that's exactly what they were looking to do, and a year later came The Return of the King, a movie that came with it an INSANE script, and even a little litigation. How did it stack up in a cinematic universe that was already out of control? Join Matt, Adam, and myself as we continue our dive into the war over the one ring to rule them all! IMPORTANT: Next week begins our biggest retrospective ever, a film by film look at the adaptations of Stephen King's work. Be sure to come back as we go right to the beginning, Brian DePalma's cinematic adaptation of King's first novel Carrie. The Lord of the Rings adaptations will continue soon!

And why did Bakshi become such a grumpy bastard during the entire process? Join Matt, Adam, and myself as we start our look at Middle Earth with these three seminal 70s and 80s cartoons. While the three of us liked 1977's The Hobbit well enough, there was one person who wanted to one up it. Ralph Bakshi, the man behind the X-rated cartoon Fritz The Cat, was doing everything from rewriting a one film script trying to change its narrative to visiting the Tolkien estate getting the blessings from the daughter of J.R.R. Tolkien to do the material well. The film did well. But Bakshi wasn't satisfied. Why is that, and how do we feel about the movie? Join myself, Matt, and Adam as we dissect the one movie in this leg of the retrospective that is not done by Rankin/Bass. Could the different flavor actually improve the dish that is known as Middle Earth? The Lord of the Rings (1978) (?/10, ?/10, ?/10) CLICK ABOVE TO LISTEN NOW! Subscribe to Binge Cast on iTunes

The year Garrett was born. Oh, and the year that Rankin/Bass, the production team behind Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer was broadcast in May and began the screen adventures of Bilbo Baggins and company. But how did it happen? And is this a criminally forgotten piece of Middle Earth media, or a bland cartoon that was done so much better by Jackson and company years later? Join myself, Matt, and Adam as we answer that question, as well as reveal what HUGE retrospective we are also going to be beginning this year which should finish up by 2044.

Directed by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, The Last Unicorn was adapted for the screen by Peter S. Beagle and based on his book. It's an offbeat look at legacy, legend, and immortality. It's the story of a unicorn (Mia Farrow) who thinks she may be the last of her kind and her quest to find the truth.
SUPRISE! It's a BONUS episode, where we finally get to meet the elusive brother... Jeff! His choice for favorite childhood movie to review was Wind in the Willows directed by directed by Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass. It is an adaptation of Kenneth Grahame's 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows. Set in a pastoral version of England, the film focuses on four anthropomorphized animal characters (Moley, Ratty, Mr. Toad, and Mr. Badger) and contains themes of mysticism, adventure, morality, and camaraderie. The film features the voices of Charles Nelson Reilly, Roddy McDowall, José Ferrer, and Eddie Bracken. The screenplay was written by Romeo Muller. 1 The music for this episode is Simpler Times by Man DeLorean. 1 Wikipedia
Unlike the last unicorn in the eponymous 1982 animated film by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr., this week’s last-of-her-kind fantasy creature knows what happened to the rest of her kind, setting the new Disney Animation feature RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON off on a quest narrative that takes a much different shape than THE LAST UNICORN. We’re joined once again this week by John Maher to discuss RAYA’s shiny, roller-coaster-like thrills, and then compare the two films’ respective journeys, the mythical beasts at their centers, and the paired dynamic of parent villains and children who switch sides.

While the new RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON shares far more with its Disney Animation brethren than anything made by Arthur Rankin Jr. and Jules Bass, those filmmakers’ 1982 animated adaptation of Peter S. Beagle’s THE LAST UNICORN shares RAYA’s interest in telling a story about humanity via the plight of a fantasy creature believed to be the last of its kind — it just goes about it in a much more idiosyncratic, often flat-out weird way. To dig into all the ways THE LAST UNICORN defies convention and expectation, we’ve brought in cultural writer and animation expert John Maher to help discuss some of the big literary themes crammed into this small and not very literary movie, the film’s penchants for both poetry and anachronism, and what to make of that Rankin/Bass animation style. Plus, we respond to some feedback about our recent discussion of JEAN DE FLORETTE, and where we personally draw the line between film and television.

Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are back for another TV anniversary. This time it’s Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town for its 50th anniversary. The classic Christmas special first aired on ABC on December 14, 1970 and has since became a television staple during the holiday season. It was directed and produced by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr., the duo behind a multitude of Christmas cartoons from the ‘60s and ‘70s. Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town was written Romeo Muller, who adapted the popular song of the same name. Muller wrote other essential Christmas specials like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman. Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town features Mickey Rooney as Kris Kringle AKA Santa Claus, Keenan Wynn as the Winter Warlock, Robie Lester as Miss Jessica, Paul Frees as Burgermeister Meisterburger and Joan Gardner as Tanta Kringle. It is narrated by Fred Astaire as Special Delivery “S.D.” Kluger. Josh and Aaron break down the special’s elements, including the “Animagic” stop-motion animation, the characters, and the music. They also discuss the show’s legacy and rate it among other Christmas specials. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Lee and Daniel end off their little series on film recommendations from listener Jeff Williams. This time it's the weird ABC Movie of the week from 1978, "The Bermuda Depths". Is this mash-up of fantasy & horror; featuring a beautiful undead maiden, a giant sea turtle, and a half-naked Carl Weathers sporting a bazooka harpoon any good? It's a Rankin & Bass co-production with Tsuburaya Productions, so it's at least worth a look, right? RIGHT? How would Jess Franco have done this film? Listener comments and what the hosts have watched lately is also brought up. "The Bermuda" Depths IMDB Featured Music: "Turtles" by Henry Mancini & "Jennie's Song" by Maury Laws, Jules Bass, and sung by Claude Carmichael.

It's a special show to ring in the goofy holidays, featuring our interview with official Rankin/Bass historian Rick Goldschmidt! You know Rankin/Bass. It's the legendary animation studio that produced all those classic holiday shows, starting with Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer in 1964. Lots more wonderful cartoons followed, including Santa Claus is Comin' To Town (which gave us Burgermeister Meisterburger), The Year Without a Santa Claus (which gave us the Heat Miser and Snow Miser), 'Twas the Night Before Christmas (that's the one with the mice and the clocks), and yes, Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey. Beyond the holiday specials, Rankin/Bass was also responsible for Mad Monster Party, The Hobbit, The Last Unicorn, ThunderCats, and so much more. Rick's first book, The Enchanted World of Rankin/Bass, is an invaluable resource for nerds like us, and his latest book celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of Frosty the Snowman. Here on the Flopcast, Rick discusses the amazing talents behind the scenes at Rankin/Bass, many of whom he knew and worked with, including: character designers (and Mad magazine artists) Jack Davis and Paul Coker, Jr.; voice actors Paul Soles (Hermey the elf!), Bradley Bolke (Jangle the elf!), and Larry Storch (come on, LARRY STORCH!); composer Maury Laws; writer Romeo Muller; and the guys who started it all, Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass. Also discussed: Rick's experience as a guest this year at DragonCon, his picks for a couple of lesser-known Rankin/Bass projects we should all see, and his appearance on the TV show Collector's Call with Lisa Welchel! (That's right, Blair from The Facts of Life. You know we needed details.) Also this week: A holiday concert (and a new holiday EP) from Boston alt-rock legends Letters to Cleo, Speedy Ortiz, Grant's Advent Calendar, and Marisa Tomei. (Frosty would have a special message for Marisa: Happy Birthday.)

The screenwriter for both of those films is credited as Romeo Muller who also worked on other famous screenplays for the duo directors. Kaelin had it right when she stated that Peter S.

The ladies are back with a more relaxed week - free of the fate of the souls of elves and men, we discuss the things that really matter, like why nobody in Laketown wears pants? Thats right, we watched the 1977 Hobbit film, directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr., which neither of us had seen! Give it a gander to play along, the episode includes some play by play commentary, but is primarily our discussion before and after we watched. We really really enjoyed this lovely film :) then we broke down some Arkenstone conspiracy theories in this week’s Shadowfact
Berkreviews.com Movie Club episode 067 - My Neighbor Totoro Continuing with the theme of '80s movies, Jonathan (@berkreviews) picked My Neighbor Totoro (1988) directed by Hayao Miyazaki starring Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning, and Tim Daly. Corey (@coreyrstarr) had also never seen this film or any other Studio Ghibli film so this was a big episode for both. Jonathan had seen Spirited Away several times and is a fan of that movie, but is lacking experience with the rest. The icon character of Totoro needed to be seen! Next Episode: The Last Unicorn The last episode in their '80s exploration will be The Last Unicorn (1982). The film is directed by Jules Bass and Arthur Rankin Jr. and stars Jeff Bridges, Mia Farrow, and Angela Lansbury. It's a movie that Jonathan hadn't heard of, but Corey found on a list of must-see '80s movies. At the time of recording, The Last Unicorn is available to stream on Amazon Prime.

Rankin and Bass, the team that brought us Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer as well as the ThunderCats, brought this charming animated feature featuring Japanese animation from the team who would go on to form Studio Ghibli, and voiced by stars like Mia Farrow, Jeff Bridges, Alan Arkin, and Christopher Lee. Peter S. Beagle adapts his own children's book, tapping into the metaphorical journey from the safety and security of youth to the strange and perilous odyssey of growing up, with the last unicorn as our guide. Featuring folk-rock tracks sung by America and written and composed by Jimmy Webb, the nostalgia is strong with this one.
It's the most wonderful time of the year, when our TV sets are filled with the warm glow of classic holiday specials, specifically from Arthur Rankin, Jr. and Jules Bass, who blended animation techniques with original music and celebrity narrators to create magic.

This time DM and Vinnie are joined by friend of the show Ed Sizemore to talk about some of the lesser known Rankin-Bass Christmas Specials, Nestor the Long-Eared Christmas Donkey, The Leprechaun's Christmas Gold, The Stingiest Man in Town, The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, and Rudolph's Shiny New Year.
Just in time for Christmas comes Geek Salad episode 92: Rankin My Bass. Yes, join Andy and Mike with special guests Joe and Autumn as they rank their bass guitars and attempt to... oh, wait. Wrong bass. No, this is a Holiday episode, so of course the gang is talking about the ups and downs (many, many downs) of the Rankin & Bass Holiday specials. Starting with Rudolph, the duo of Arthur Rankin and Jules Bass came up with some of the most classic animated specials to ever grace the TV screen. Unfortunately, they also inflicted some of the most confusing, scarring, and just plain hateful moments as well (what the hell is an Awgwa, anyway?) After that, there's some DC-inspired Stupid Stupid and a retro Trailer Park with "Santa Claus: The Movie". Finally, stick around for some Salad Shills that range everywhere from Doctor Who to commercials from the '70s. And to everyone, whatever you celebrate, have a very happy Holiday season.
