  • Love this!

    I’ve only listened to a few episodes so far but I love it! It’s so cozy to hear them reminisce about their favorite (often obscure) animated shows and movies. Makes me excited to share some of these animated classics with my little ones as they grow up.

  • Animated nostalgia at its peak!

    Michael & Scott present knowledgeable and entertaining conversations on animated properties from a variety of years! The love and passion for animation is clear in these two, and they bring a personality to the discussions that are all their own. Having known these voices and their owners from other RF shows, this feels like talking to old friends! 10/10 recommend.

  • Nostalgia at its finest

    So many cobwebs I didn’t realize existed have been wiped away thanks to the passion Scotty and Michael have for all sorts of animation. I found this podcast after listening to Dis-order (I also highly recommend) and get excited for every new episode. I thought I was the only one who knew about some of these shows, movies, and shorts.
