- OFFENDED by Opening of 2.24.2026 Podcast
I just started to listen to the latest episode on 2.24.26 and I got to the 2 minute and 30 second mark and I SHUT IT OFF! Mr. Hill and Mr. Taylor how could you have left the intro in about watching the Olympics after Mr. Taylor made the comments about watching the “hot ice skaters and women with big asses”; this last comment was made twice and you both laughed. I was so offended on behalf of all women that in this day and age you would say something like this and think it was funny!

United States3 months ago - The BEST animation news podcast!
Jim and Drew know their stuff. I've been listening for years. Drew's industry insight and Jim's investigation into rumors and unannounced projects are second to none. GREAT JOB, dudes! Always such a pleasure to hear you guys report and ramble.

Great animation news outlet with some great stories from the past and information on upcoming projects. Unfortunately you have to listen to these two spew their liberal politics into every drop of info they share. For two very knowledgeable individuals when it comes to animation they can’t wrap their noggins around why current Disney animation is failing due to the need of these activists, oops creators, to infuse identity politics and sexual orientation into entertainment aimed at children. I... more
Apple Podcasts1Franky CamelotUnited States3 years ago - Kinda lost me...
It's always a good informative show, but when an animator going to work the the Daily Wire is just the most awful news you can think of, Drew...you might need to take a mental step back and listen to yourself.
Apple Podcasts4paperdoll1986United States4 years ago - Good Show Bad Politics
Good show, very informative on the latest in animation.
Unfortunately, when you take a political stand, you alienate part of your audience.
Drew did so with me. So I’m done with it.
