SEGMENT EPISODE! This is a loose form chat surrounding a trailer and the Annie nominations but we get into interesting conversations regarding the difference between trailers and the final film and the nature of some artists' oversupport of stop-motion to spite CG. There's also an "Ax by Fax" audience question on sourcing audio for Indie projects and talking about the RubberOnion Podcast Drinking Game being formed on the forum!

HOT COCOA SHOW! I felt like we needed to have a conversation about internet hate: what it is, where it comes from, and how to deal with it and prepare for it as a creator.

SEGMENT EPISODE! The "Boss Baby" teaser trailer dropped this week and we talk about that which is immediately followed by a question about whether or not to take a freelance job if it conflicts with your ethics... so you know, a normal RubberOnion Animation Podcast transition. We also cover the rumors that Disney might buy Netflix among other things - which really, my mind is on next week's live show, Freelance Horror Stories 3, and a special episode which will drop on Patreon so enjoy this one before the awesomeness that is next week leading to Halloween!

Preorder my book coming out next week (Oct 25th, 2016)!!
