Jim Smallman

Episode #8: The Ewoks

/ animatespodcast / Leave a comment

With everyone going crazy about the new Star Wars film, it seems quite apt that Jim, Tony and Katie (plus Barry Hercules) watch an episode of the 1980s cash-in cartoon “The Ewoks”.  Mulgrew loves it.  Smallman hates it.  Tony is just Tony.  How do Ewoks swear?  How are breasts re-stocked?  Which theme tune is right? ALL THIS AND MORE!

Here’s the episode that we watched:

Plus some more stuff from this episode for you to feast your eyes on:

The Star Wars toys you didn’t own because they concerned the Ewoks.

The usual Fan Fiction weirdness.

Episode #2: Sharky and George

Yeah, you remember the theme tune. Sharky and George is a French / Canadian production from the late 1980s… and it’s TERRIBLE. Join Jim, Katie and Tony as they discuss awful animation, the nature of fish detective work, what the Shark is actually called (well done there Tony) and many, MANY callbacks to Episode 1 and Defenders of the Earth.

Defenders of the Earth!

/ animatespodcast / Leave a comment

So the very first AniMates podcast that we recorded t’other week concerns that one series wonder “Defenders of the Earth”.

The podcast will be available via all the usual means later on this week… but in the meantime why not do your homework and watch the same two episodes that we did?

Weirdly, the original link we used for episode one has vanished through the account being closed. I wouldn’t worry, you’ve not missed much apart from Flash Gordon crashing his sodding spaceship.

Podcast up soon, including revealing The Phantom’s home address, how Mandrake makes his money and the correct way to address the show.

Jim will put up a mini episode in a week or so, so if you have any observations that we missed or want to ask us to watch a particular show in the future then you need to drop us an email here. Ta!
