On episode seven of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, we’re going back to the farm, but also to the city, and then back to the farm again, when we discuss the most rollicking Don Bluth film, Rock-A-Doodle! We’re joined by performer Chris Bramante (Robot Teammate) to talk about the story, songs, and “Sun Do Shine” of it all. Does it hold up? Grab your flashlight, tie your shoes, and Chanticleer your schedule for our most rollicking episode yet!

Welcome to another installment of our NON-BLUTH series! On this episode, we’re joined by our re-returning guest, friend, and airborne reptile expert, Grayson Kent! First, we chat all things dragons, wizards, and talking wolves when we discuss a childhood cult classic, The Flight of Dragons. Then we enter the adult portion of the podcast, where we delve into a movie that probably shouldn’t have been a part of anyone’s childhood, Heavy Metal. Grab a mouthful of limestone and meet us in the breastuary!

*Disclaimer for anyone watching these films along with us. Heavy Metal is an extremely adult-oriented film that features graphic scenes of nudity, sex, violence, drug use, and Loc-Nar. Please do not watch it with children or in sensitive work environments. If you’re at a frat party or riding a giant bird thing, however, then we say go for it.*

On this episode, we’re flying solo in a late-night discussion of two very different (yet equally sheep-filled) dog movies, Rover Dangerfield and The Plague Dogs! Join us as we discuss our opinions on these films (you may be surprised), the humor, the songs, the sadness, the synths, and even some Don Bluth connections. Also, find out whether we can remember character names after midnight!

No, you didn't accidentally download the wrong podcast... Welcome to our very first NON-BLUTH episode! We love Don Bluth, but there's so much to say about so many other animated films too. So today, we're joined by animator Alex Cole and random stranger McLeech to discuss two very different (yet oddly similar) woodland critter films: Once Upon a Forest and Watership Down. Strap in, furlings, because even Fiver couldn't have predicted this episode!

On the third episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, we’re joined by musician and co-host of Popular Music the Podcast, Analise Nelson, to discuss An American Tail! It’s a trio, a triiiiiiiio… We explore Steven Spielberg’s influence on the production, the catlike performance of Dom DeLuise, the iconic score from James Horner, and more! Then, we talk about our childhood favorite non-Bluth film, An American Tail: Fievel Goes West. From the formation of Amblimation, to the star-studded voice cast, to all the commercial tie-ins, we leave no tumbleweed unturned.

On the second episode of The Bluth, the Whole Bluth, and Nothing But the Bluth, we dive into Don Bluth's first independent short film, Banjo the Woodpile Cat! We discuss how fun and DIY the production was, Bluth's childhood cat story that inspired the film, the songs (both diegetic and non-diegetic), plus the many talented voice actors and singers. We also wade through the plot of everyone’s favorite fantasy roller skating musical extravaganza, Xanadu, just so we can talk about its two minutes of Don Bluth animation. And we cap off the episode by exploring all of Bluth's unrealized projects, including the wild ride that is Jawbreaker!
