Toonami Absolution

9-3 - The Iron Giant


Listen Later

The Iron Giant is a kids' movie that deserves way more love.


This tale of a boy and his robots made us all cry as kids and it is still making us cry over a decade later.


We also spend some time talking about how Toonami really had no idea how to market films like The Iron Giant, leading to some very confusing promos.

Toonami Absolution is a weekly podcast where Alyx, Jon, and Sam revisit the Toonami and Adult Swim shows that made them, and you, you.


From the block's early days with shows like Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and Transformers: Beast Wars to the imported anime that made Toonami and Adult Swim appointment television for a generation of kids, such as Cowboy Bebop, Sailor Moon, and Dragon Ball.
