RubberOnion Animation Podcast

This week we have a completely unplanned, loose chat about anything that came up during the time. We talked about Gamera's "fart flying," we invent a theme park around Forest Gump, and talk about what Pokemon, Go means for the future success of other augmented reality games... and invent some of our own!

INTERVIEW! This week we talk with animator Joel Furtado who most recently created the "X-Men: Danger Room Protocols" animated series which was unceremoniously pulled from YouTube, Vimeo and other destinations due to Marvel copyright claims. We discussed that situation back in episode 109 and now we get to discuss it all with the man himself. He was very open about it and it led into very interesting discussion about fanart vs parody (which we touched on before), the technical aspects of creating CGI Pixel Animation, working in the video game industry and the state of western Canadian animation work.

Be sure to check out Joel Furtado around the internet:

MOVIE REVIEW! Back in 2014 we did a full review and side-by-side comparison of TMNT (2014) with TMNT (1990)... now we're taking on the modern sequel "TMNT: Out of the Shadows" (2016). We discuss the sequel in the original TMNT trilogy, "Secret of the Ooze" and compare it with this modern sequel. Does it hold up? What does Stephen think about how the Turtles were treated? What happened to April O'Neil? Did Bebop & Rocksteady fit the tone? Was Krang really necessary? Listen to find out what we think!
