Long live Adele Dazeem!! The Oscars were this weekend so we talk about them out of mostly obligation, but the real stories are with our own Rob Yulfo and Pat Ryan coming out with brand new creative content! Rob's got a new animated short and Pat has just started a Sci-Fi radio show series (both embedded here). We also talk about painted movie posters, Bill Waterson's new "comic", the documentary on the Rhythm & Hues bankruptcy and the VFX issue as a whole. This one was recorded in one long shot and I didn't go back to remaster anything because Rob again... has computer issues. We literally recorded this 3 hours prior to me typing this. So... enjoy!!

The Real Fans kick off the new year by looking back at some of their least favorite movies of 2013.

The original crew is back from their week off and jump right into the most adult of topics... childrens cartoons and porn (seperately), we also look at: cartoon fan theories, SofaBear's adventures in Kerbal Space Program, the train wreck that is Toronto's mayor, our screwed up view of Canadians, a short talk about new video game consoles, SofaBear and Butternubs disagree over privacy, porn movies that try to have plots, and our plea to NASA for space boobs.

Starring: SofaBear, Nemesis, and Butternubs

Running Time: 49min 16sec

In what was to be a quick filler episode for this "30 Days of Podcasting" we are doing, quickly turned into one of the funniest things we've put out on the interwebs since launching! 

The Plot. Talk Cartoons. If you'll remember a few episodes back, we talked The 50 Greatest Cartoons! Well, it took so long that we skiped #30-#10. Picking back up where we left off... we get sidetracked almost immediatley. 

We quickly learn that Bibbles must have lived under a rock, though that doesn't stop us from making fun of him. We love him, it's ok! Oz gives us his College thesis on "The Tick" and Ginger recalls a childhood friend with a possible "Closed Head" injury who used to eat his cats and once gave a 20 minute "Specific Sex Education" class for no reason at all...complete with visual instructions! ...back to more cartoons!

On our spectacular two year and one week anniversary show, we discuss Benji's untimely demise, the probability of a Cub dynasty and we talk movies.  Benji bags on Smurfs 2, Chad zones out on The Wolverine and Scott comes to grips with his lack of movie exposure lately.  Plus, douchebags and reacharounds.  But alas, we forgot the homework.

Chris and Graham welcome back Eddie Pepitone.  Graham talks about a cool doc he saw at the Traverse City Film Fest called, A Band Called Death.  Chris and his kids were bored by Smurfs 2.  Eddie really like Quartet, directed by Dustin Hoffman.  Graham also liked The Way Way Back and Fruitvale Station.  Then Eddie talks about his film, The Bitter Buddha.  It is more nerd talk than a booth at Comic-con!

In this episode, hilarity ensues when I chat with director/writer/producer Robert Cohen. Rob is one of the funniest guys you will ever meet, and has some amazing credits to his name ("The Simpsons," "The Ben Stiller Show," "Tropic Thunder," "The Big Bang Theory," to name a few). Rob has worked with some of the biggest names in comedy (Mike Myers, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, etc.), but more importantly, one of the biggest names in comedy is modeled after him... the character, Milhouse, on "The Simpsons." Rob talks about how he inspired Milhouse and the early days of "The Simpsons." We also cover other topics like having one's own carbonite statue to writing crank calls for Moe's bar to making the transition from writer to director.
