In The Gaiden of Geekdom

Mar 17 2023 • 44 mins

The Eizouken crew discover a room full of manual 2D animation equipment and bring an old set of drawings to life using perspective and effects. We watch another classic hand-animated masterpiece and discuss how the powers of wind, water, fire, unnaturally moving flesh, and cool motorcyle slides bring it to life. Also featuring the horrors of toxic masculinity in "Boy Feelings" media, a pitch for the Wachowkis' Speed Racer (2008), and Janice once again bringing up Lupin the Third.
