SEGMENT EPISODE! This week we also have a ‘special’ feature being that this episode is mostly UNEDITED; I mean I put in music and stuff but awkward pauses?… totally intact. We talk about studios skipping Comic-Con, Eric Goldberg’s awesome couch gag for “The Simpsons” and of course the fact that Comcast just bought Dreamworks Animation for $3.8bil! Taylor Armstrong, festival manager for Animation Block Party in Brooklyn, comes on to remind you all to submit your films to their awesome event, we talk about ALL your RubberOnionBattle submissions for April and cap it all off with your favorite segment… Rapid Fire! Enjoy the show!

So here’s what happened this week. The “Disney reuses animation” video mashup went around again and people got really negative. Harry Shearer’s future with The Simpsons is in question and people got really bitter. The Simpsons released a couch gag featuring Rick & Morty and people called for an early termination for The Simpsons like it was worthless. Then Rob and I get on a call to discuss what happened during the week and I lose my mind a bit. Enjoy.

Speed round! Pat and Stephen had to get to trivia night because who else’s going to know what year Space Jam was released (ahem 1996)? We all watched the Simpsons/Family Guy crossover episode and have some words. Don Hertzfeldt’s Simpsons couch gag made people confused and intrigued. Also, the CW cancelled its Saturday morning cartoon lineup, the last of its kind on network TV, and you might be surprised what we think about that. And finally, we have clips and trailers to talk about!
