A Peek Behind the Animated Studios Curtain!
And here’s my hot take: “This podcast was a nostalgia-ridden love letter to those days when you thought waking up early on a Saturday morning to watch cartoons ironically qualified you as a cinephile. From Skwigly taking us on a walk down the memory lane of animated films to interviews with award-winning filmmakers, the podcast has more layers than Shrek’s beloved onion. And the highlight of this podcast? Who’d have thought listening to interviews with film honchos could be more entertaining than secretly streaming a Marvel series on your study laptop? Take your earphones, brace yourselves, listening might just become your next favourite screen-free hobby. Steve and Anne, the dynamic duo, definitely warrant my appreciation for keeping the spirit of animation alive. Lights, Camera, Anima-tion!”
