Stephen and Rob are back again to talk about the creepy “Thunderbirds” character designs, the Oscar nominations AND those left out in the cold. A stop-mo animator rigged the Nintendo Power Glove for use in animation and “Underdogs” (Argentina’s “Metagol”) gets an English language trailer thanks to the Weinsteins… and it’s… a thing.
