The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of the Superman animated series (1996). It was a very different feel from Superman stories that came before (and in a good way). Plus our usual crazy talk, geek stuff, and tangents

As The Simpsons hits its 800th episode, Jim Hill takes a moment to appreciate how this once-scrappy Fox upstart became an animation institution that may never actually end. From the long-lost series finale concept where Homer and Krusty were secretly the same person to the show's upcoming theatrical sequel and Disney's long-term park plans, this week's Fine Tooning looks at how Springfield keeps evolving. Plus, box office updates, Avatar sequel math, Matt Braly's next move after Sony, and a wild Steven Spielberg phone call that changed animation history. NEWS • The Simpsons celebrates its 800th episode with “Irrational Treasure,” the 14th episode of Season 37, as the series eyes renewal through Season 40 and a second theatrical film set for September 3, 2027. • Disney+ viewers can compare Season 1's “Santa's Little Helper” to the new milestone episode to see just how dramatically the show's animation quality has evolved since 1989. • Sony Pictures Animation's Goat opens strong over Presidents Day weekend, reportedly close behind Warner Bros.' Wuthering Heights, with final box office numbers still shifting. • Zootopia 2 crosses $1.83 billion worldwide, becoming the ninth highest-grossing film of all time, though its upcoming March 3 home video release may slow its push toward $2 billion. • Avatar: Fire & Ash reaches $1.46 billion globally, profitable but well below the franchise's prior installments, raising questions about costs and expectations for Avatar 4 and 5. • Matt Braly and Rebecca Sugar's previously in-development Sony feature is shelved, but Braly launches a Kickstarter on March 13 for his indie gothic horror pilot Clara and the Below. • The RiffTrax team raises nearly $1.9 million on Kickstarter for The RiffTrax Experiments, offering a hopeful blueprint for creator-driven animation crowdfunding. FEATURE • The behind-the-scenes story of how Judy Freudberg and Tony Geiss were hired by Steven Spielberg to write The Land Before Time, following his surprise discovery of Sesame Street Presents: Follow That Bird. • Spielberg's now-legendary phone call to Freudberg, initially mistaken for a prank, ultimately led to a creative partnership that bridged Sesame Street and major animated feature filmmaking.

First is the Swashbuckling Science Fiction twist on Robert Lewis Stevenson's Treasure Island, Treasure Planet, and the second is the classic adventure feature using the designs of comic book artist Mike Mignola, Atlantis the Lost Empire. Some of us have never seen both or one of these and for some of us they've become staples of both our childhoods and adulthoods.It's another TWIG Loose Cannon.

As usual.Host segments: having to work at the Chicken Shack; a lesson for amateur filmmakers; we can't care more than the director does; Winterbeast is better, sadly; we've all had drunken nights like this, right?; Joe is not a fan of pranks - even George Clooney's; can Things be improved?

In this episode, the guys try to figure out what the crap was happening in the RiffTrax release of The Guns of El Chupacabra. Does it even count as a movie? Or is it just a movie in a movie...in a movie?

We're revisiting an old favorite in a new format, and we, too, were surprised by the results. Trigger warning: Phil is back. CW: discussion of slursHost segments: How is it LONGER?; trash crafts return; let's talk about racism, kids!; trying to figure out the socio-economic criticism inherent in Santa Claus and failing; who do I have to bribe to get a Djarum around here?; LSD doesn't fix everything, just most things; Benoit Blanc vs. Pitch.

This minisode, we're reviewing two very similar films - 2009's family drama Everybody's FIne, and Sabrina Carpenter's searing exploration of how horniness can impact the holidays. You might be surprised which one we enjoyed more.

We're still trying to figure out what exactly was "unearthly" here.Host segments: Joe has a real future on OnlyCalves; Joe's sleep-smoochin'; remembering Hooligans; "the less dead;" WHY DO WE EVEN HAVE A DOCTOR ON THIS PODCAST?; how does something so short feel so long?; turning this thing into the Spiderman meme.

This Week in Geek's Loose Cannon is our all around movies podcast covering the weird, wild, or sometimes nostalgic world of films. This time, our full crew of Birdman, Ken, David and Adam discuss the two lovably nostalgic cult classics that are the Goofy Movies.

Czabe welcomes PAUL CHARCHIAN to the show and they get deep into the nerd weeds on the state of video games. Charch also introduces Czabe to "RiffTrax" and his world is not quite the same anymore. "There's so much room for activities!" The Vikings Max Brosmer should have been told to surrender his helmet and jersey on the spot. Plus they aren't any good at trading lately either. The Patriots have hit the quick rebuild. Jaxson Dart has a shiny necklace (though it's fake I found out!) and a real idiot's attitude toward getting killed on the NFL football field. Good luck, pretty boy. The league will chew you up and spit you out in no time playing like that.
