Every Disney-Pixar film is like a gift. Some would argue Cars 2 sucks, but Ryan thinks it's ok. For this episode, we'll be discussing "The Good Dinosaur," featuring the voice of none other than Sam Elliot! It features the voices of other people, but that's the one we care about the most. Enjoy!

Sun, 11 October 2015
It's officially OCTOBER-THEMED HALLOWEEN MONTH! Kicking us off is the Dr. Seuss creation "Halloween Is Grinch Night," the 1977 made-for-TV prequel of "How The Grinch Stole Christmas." And it's weird. Enjoy! Follow Sketchy |
Sat, 10 October 2015

Remember how serious "Gargoyles" was? Yeah, so do we. I'm already bummed thinking about it. Sketchy revisits Goliath (voiced by Keith David) and the other gargoyles in the twists and turns of this serious, yet pretty cool 90s Disney series. Enjoy! Follow Sketchy |

Sat, 29 August 2015

Why did they all come together? To keep you from doing drugs! Enjoy! Follow Sketchy |

Sun, 26 July 2015
Remy has a talent for taste and a passion for cooking. The only problem is... he's a rat. This week, Sketchy discusses "Ratatouille," the 2007 Disney-Pixar critical darling, directed by Brad Bird and featuring the voice talents of Patton Oswalt and Janeane Garofalo. Follow Sketchy |

Sat, 27 June 2015
Matt joins Animator and Friend-of-the-show, Justin Marchert, to discuss "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," the animated series. Enjoy! Follow Sketchy |
Sun, 21 June 2015
Disney-Pixar productions set the bar for modern animation and are among some of the best films of the last decade. "Inside Out" is the 15th feature-length film from Disney-Pixar and the topic of this episode. Does it hold up to Pixar's standards? On this podcast, it depends on who you ask. Enjoy! Follow Sketchy |
Thu, 18 June 2015
This week, Ingrid and Ryan discuss "The Brady Kids," the animated adaptation of "The Brady Bunch." They deconstruct it more than anyone ever intended (or should). Enjoy! Follow Sketchy |
Sun, 31 May 2015
We finish our double feature with the 1988 Studio Ghibli film "My Neighbor Totoro" by Hayao Miyazaki, the fun contrast to last week's film "Grave of the Fireflies." The recognizable "Totoro" serves as Studio Ghibli's mascot, akin to Mickey Mouse and Disney. So, even if you've never seen the film, you've likely seen this character pop up in something. And now he's popping up in our podcast. Enjoy! Follow Sketchy |
Sat, 23 May 2015
This week it's the first part of a double feature. It's the 1988 Studio Ghibli film "Grave of the Fireflies," directed by Isao Takahata, which many describe as one of the saddest films of all time. So, it's appropriate that Sketchy, the saddest podcast of all time (sad as in pathetic), discuss this heartwrenching film. Follow Sketchy |
Sat, 16 May 2015
This week it's the 1977 live action Disney musical "Pete's Dragon" that sprinkles in a few bits of animation (directed by Don Bluth) amongst such stars as Helen Reddy ("I Am Woman") and Mickey Rooney (from that racist part in "Breakfast At Tiffany's"). We figured it was just enough animation to qualify for this show. Enjoy! Music Follow Sketchy |
Sat, 9 May 2015
This episode has been planned for a while. It's a discussion of the animated band "The Gorillaz," formed by "Blur" frontman Damon Albarn and the "Tank Girl" comic book series creator Jamie Hewlett. With several albums (including the coveted "Demon Days"), a number of music videos, a rich backstory and an impressive list of collaborators (De La Soul, Lou Reed, Danger Mouse, and more), there was a ton to talk about. So, get into it and enjoy! Music Follow Sketchy |
Sat, 2 May 2015

Sat, 25 April 2015
Several months after it won the Oscar for "Best Animated Feature," Sketchy finally decides to discuss "Big Hero 6." Featuring the voice talents of Scott Adsit (from 30 Rock), T.J.

Wed, 8 April 2015

Thu, 19 March 2015
Sketchy continues its discussion from last episode with "Diebuster," the sequel to "Gunbuster." And it's even more confusing. Watch the series and not the condensed movie version of "Diebuster." Life will be better for you, I promise. Enjoy! Music Follow Sketchy |
Sat, 14 March 2015
Sketchy discusses Gunbuster aka Aim For The Top!, a series much beloved by Matt that was condensed into a 90-minute film that seems like a mash-up of Pacific Rim, Starship Troopers and Interstellar. We discuss the film, which was difficult due to some scenes being left out. So, if you get a chance, watch the series first. And enjoy! Music Follow Sketchy |
