Pat’s back! Feels so good to have the gang together for this one because we’ve got some great stories suggested by YOU. “Popeye”, “Where Are They Now” animated short, “Deadpool” greenlit, “Rick and Morty” co-creator Justin Roiland fighting the Union, The Hub dies, Stephen updated an animation from 2010, and we inspire people apparently… seriously. And we have another submitted question! You will enjoy this one. You will. I promise. Kinda.

(1:26:58) SUBMITTED QUESTION from Ronald Chaparro: “What film franchise do you see or want to make as animated film or short? And which franchise do each of you guys want to work on, if you had the chance?”
