Podcasts about oscar nominated animated shorts

On tonight’s recap of Welcome to Night Vale we learn that Night Vale’s newest attraction, Hysteria Land, is not an amusement park, it’s a theme park. And the theme is “amusement.” We’d argue that the theme is also “existential dread” and “impossibly frightening.” Arms inside the ride, kids, watch out for the dead animals. After...

And the theme is "amusement." We'd argue that the theme is also "existential dread" and "impossibly frightening." Arms inside the ride, kids, watch out for the dead animals.After that we go over this year's Oscar Nominated Animated shorts, which while not quite at the level of last year's nominations, were still very good, ranging from the bittersweet kick in the feels of In the Shadow of the Cypress, to the silly but very fun Magical Candies, to the DOWNRIGHT DISTURBING Wander to Wonder. (Which was still extremely well made but whoo boy that one's dark.)And after THAT, we've got to go over episode seven of the final season of Beastars. Well, we have to go over one scene anyway, which was hands down the most disturbing thing this show's done YES THAT SCENE THE ONE WITH THE RABBITS WHAT THE ABSOLUTE HELL.This week's outro is a clip from bROKEn dREAM by hARITON zOELooking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

Especially good ones."If the title to the Welcome to Night Vale episode sounds familiar, we're seeing the return of a harrowing duo from Night Vale's past: The Man Who Is Not Tall, and The Man Who Is Not Short. And unfortunately The Man Who Is Not Tall is now...Steve Carlsburg. Yes, Cecil's beloved brother-in-law has taken on a dangerous new job, and Cecil has questions.After a recap were we discuss the rules of childhood games that scared the crap out of us, and also Cecil bemoaning the loss of decorum (I mean, Cloud Perverts? Really?), the Binary Podcast System team also talk about Season 3 Episode 7 of Beastars (which Kathryn hasn't seen), and the 2025 Oscar-Nominated Animated Shorts (which Elizabeth hasn't seen), and then take a brief digression to talk about The Menu, which we've both seen and talked about it at length already but come on, it just dropped on Netflix and how can we resist?This week's outro is a clip from CARAVAGGIO by hARITON zOE You can listen to our episodes about The Menu and the 2024 Oscar-Nominated Animated Shorts, we promise we didn't rehash too much about what we loved from those in today's episode.Looking for a present for that hard-to-shop-for person?

The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2024/02/binary-system-podcast-399-wtnv-242-the-new-branch-and-the-oscar-nominated-animated-shorts/ On the latest episode of Night Vale the Librarians broke out of their cages but some heroes saved the day andnoweverythingisfineTheEnd SO! HOW ABOUT THOSE OSCAR ANIMATED SHORTS? (Kidding, it was a fun episode of Night Vale, we're just really excited to talk about cartoons.) Anyway, massive spoiler warnings as we discuss our favorite Oscar-nominated animated shorts, which were as surprising as they were upsetting, just how we like them. (This episode of VagueCast is brought to you by the 2024 Oscar Animated Shorts Collection: yiiiiikes.) And before we wrap up, we also have to go over the latest Hugo-Award-Clusterf*ck news, which was outdated even before we finished recording because it KEEPS GETTING WORSE. This week's outro is a clip from Illusion by Darkfluxx. Correction: we said passenger pigeon several times, when we meant carrier pigeon. Homing pigeon would've been even better. Correction 2: War Is Over isn't a Beatles song, John Lennon released it outside of the band. Elizabeth apologizes to all the John Lennon fans out there. For that and for saying the cartoon would've been better if the song wasn't in it. In case you're curious, here's the list of all the Oscar Winning Animated Shorts. Turns out yes, some years the winner wasn't particularly family-friendly (2021's "The Windshield Wiper" has a lot of sexy content) but 2015's "Bear Story" beat "World of Tomorrow", and 2016's "Piper" beat "Pear Cider and Cigarettes" and that's when Elizabeth decided family-friendly beats edgy-and-cool most years. As of today the Oscar-nominated animated feature Nimona is still up for free on YouTube! Here's a good write-up of the Hugo Awards debacle. (Short version: the board self-censored anything they thought MIGHT upset the Chinese government, and were as stupid about it as you can possibly imagine.) (And the post doesn't mention the fact that the board did business with a Chinese company that's been sanctioned by the US Government, but we're still waiting to hear how all that turns out.)

Original broadcast date February 21, 2019. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2019/02/binary-system-podcast-165-the-oscar-nominated-animated-shorts/ In what's quickly becoming an annual tradition, the Binary System Podcast (with special guest Nathan Adams) watched the Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts at our favorite cinemas, and we're here to give you the details. Which short do we think will win? Which short would we like to win? Which short wasn't our favorite, and which "Highly Commended" short was absolutely robbed, ROBBED, through no fault of its own? (We're assuming it was for something that wasn't the creators' fault. Problematic Russian politics aside, there's no reason we can see why "Tweet Tweet" shouldn't have blown the competition away.) This week's outro music is a clip from "Goodbye Outer Space" by Cairo Braga http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Cairo_Braga/Qualquer_Arte_Ruim__Melhor_Que_Arte_Nenhuma/07_Goodbye_Outer_Space?fbclid=IwAR3gX5GKKrV1ycLz1xoSh-y3L0l9MjspNIfjsfSUGwXEqLCCKWlWHLg6vlY The entertainingly bizarre video we mentioned (witches flying through a city) is Jan Kounen Gisele Kerozene.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0XuE9DtBzM&list=WL&index=10&t=0s The article Elizabeth mentioned, about some of 2018's best animated shorts not getting nominated, is at cartoonbrew.com. https://www.cartoonbrew.com/awards/oscar-shortlist-for-animated-shorts-snubbed-most-of-2018s-best-shorts-167961.html

Original broadcast date February 22, 2018. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2018/02/binary-system-podcast-115-the-oscar-nominated-animated-shorts/ The planets finally aligned (...took them long enough. Get it together, planets...) and Binary System Podcast was able to get Elizabeth, Kathryn, Nathan, and Jada together at the same time to talk about this year's Oscar-Nominated Animated Shorts. Spoiler warnings for all the shorts (as well as, randomly, Moana) as we go over our favorites, tell "Stupid Theater People" stories, and discuss whether or not Red Riding Hood and Snow White were a couple. (Though we all agree Red is a total badass.) We also touched on the nominations for Best Feature-Length Animated Film, of which we've seen exactly none. This week's outro music is the opening credits for Revolting Rhymes, with music by Ben Locket. http://benlocket.com/portfolio/revolting-rhymes-opening-titles/

Original broadcast date February 15, 2018. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2018/02/binary-system-podcast-114_placeholder_content/ Not sure what's going on lately, but there's a wealth of topics that we could turn into podcasts this month. So many fun things going on: the Oscar Nominated Animated Shorts are playing at theaters, there's a new Welcome to Night Vale episode to recap, we've got the Hannibal series to review, a list of helpful movie/tv sites to compile, and the number of songs we'd like to talk about from the WTNV Weather segment just keep adding up. ...not that we're ready to talk about any of that now of course. Listen in as we go over all the topics that'll come up in the next few podcasts as soon as we're capable of discussing them, including Night Vale episodes that haven't broadcast yet and movies and TV we haven't finished watching. Plus some random google searches, and Cricket the cat getting bitey because ow ow quit it cat ow ow. In short, a podcast that went off the rails in under nineteen minutes. This week's outro music is Dragon by Podington Bear. http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Podington_Bear/none_given_1790/Dragon

Original broadcast date February 16, 2017. The original podcast post is here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2017/02/binary-system-podcast-70-the-oscar-nominated-animated-shorts/ This week Binary System is joined by Captain Slack (aka the official BSP photographer, aka Kathryn's husband Nathan) and Jada Scarbrough (Georgia Peach, math wiz, and card-carrying Cumberbabe...no really, she has a card) to recap the hell out of this year's Oscar-nominated animated shorts, because we love us some cartoons. Nobody can quite agree on which one is the absolute best or worst (you'd think we could all agree on westerns and space golf) but we're pretty sure which one will win.

Cozi geeks out about this year's nominations in the only Oscar category he's ever cared about: the Animated Shorts! He gives some background for each of the eight nominated and short-listed shorts, along with his spoiler-free reviews. Will his enthusiasm be infectious enough for Lucé and the audience to give them the love they deserve?
