Episode 9: A Very Special $15 Episode (Figuratively) (Just Press Play)

@QuidPro_Joe returns to the podcast with a discussion about animated television shows which received adaptations/extensions to the big screen. He originally typed (I do not know if he meant it), "animated movies based of tv shows".

Joe did provide me with examples like "Transformers" and "Care Bears", but technically, the statement left the door open for films like "The Addams Family (2019)". Fortunately, in this case, our similar tastes avoided this feature. My apologies to the parents who allowed for such a toothless feature concept to be shown in 1.85:1. You will be excluded this week.

My guest this week is 10 years my junior, so we have a nice dynamic for this episode. I come at the topic from the establishment of this genre as solely being a means to introduce new toy lines (Care Bears, Transformers, GI Joe) while Joe offers incite from the Nickelodeon and Disney kids TV renascence inspired by the rise of Cartoon Network. "Duck Tales" serves as the middle ground.

Of course, as adults, we do tackle "The Simpson's Movie" and "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut", where we express our awe in how those movies did so much while both being under 90 minutes in runtime. We also tackle how the gradual death of physical media has affected viewing preferences. Just a heads up, there is going to be a "Star Wars" rant.

And since we are talking about animation, we do tackle the current "controversies" in regards to "The Space Jam" sequel. If you want to know about first animated crushes, this is the podcast for you.

Let me be up front with you. This episode is the longest podcast that I have released. Compared to many of the podcast that I listen to (ID10T, Marty & Sarah Love Wrestling, Screen Drafts, The Rewatchables), the runtime is still short, but if you like the brevity of what I have previously produced, let me know with an email to russthebus07@gmail.com.

With that email address, you can also offer me suggestions on what subjects we/I should tackle in upcoming episodes. I will always appreciate requests to be a guest on the show. If you have a director, actor, or theme that you think you can offer at least a half hour of content on, lets chat.

Thanks for visiting NinetyForChill.com. Enjoy.
