This week we talk about the new Spongebob Squarepants movie, Studio Ghibli might be closing, and Ross “rubberNinja” O’Donovan breaks down why YouTube’s algorithm is hurting Indie Animators. Oh also, guess what? We made it to 40 episodes! Not a traditional milestone but who cares… we haven’t completely fallen on our faces yet and that’s something. Thanks for listening and discussing the episodes and all the stuff we say — means a lot to us, or something.
