Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 121 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, Robin and Tracy review the 2020 Irish animated film, Wolfwalkers. Produced by Cartoon Saloon and directed by Tomm Moore and Ross Stewart, it follows the story of Robyn, a young English girl living in 1650s Ireland, and her interactions with a feral wolf girl named Mebh living in the neighboring forest. With themes of acceptance, questioning authority and found family, Wolfwalkers is a challenging and moving film with gorgeous animation, well-rounded characters and beautiful music. *Note: We do get into spoilers with this review so make sure you check out the movie (streaming on Apple TV+) first before listening! * We had a great time reviewing this film and hope you enjoy our review! Thank you so much for listening!

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 117 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, join Robin and Tracy as they discuss the 2020 Disney animated series, The Owl House, with guests and friends of the show @MeeklySheepling and @Jacob_Davison. The magical and quirky animated show follows the story of Luz Noceda as she learns to become a witch through the teachings of her curmudgeonly mentor, Eda, and the cuddly megalomaniac, King. Join them as they discuss the numerous dunks on the Harry Potter series lore, the inclusion of many fantasy trope subversions and the insatiable energy of the lead character. Who is also a big old bisexual nerd and we love her for it. Thank you so much for listening and we hope you dig this episode!

Episode 117: The Owl House ( with Meekly and Jacob)

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 116 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, Robin and Tracy review the 2010 stop motion animated film, Moomin and the Comet Chase. Featuring the iconic characters from the classic comic franchise, it follows the last moments before the imminent deaths of Moomin and his folksy counterparts. Not really but man, does it feel like it. Join them as they discuss the handmade aesthetic of the animation, Sniff being the WORST and whether a curtain in front of a cave is adequate protection from a comet's impact. These aren't the hard questions, but they're certainly the ones being asked. We made the most of this movie (as flawed as it is) and hope you dig this review!

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 115 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast: this week, Tracy and Robin discuss the 2019 Amazon Prime animated series, Undone. From the writers and producers of Bojack Horseman (Kate Purdy and Raphael Bob-Waksburg), it follows the story of a troubled young woman seeing visions of her deceased father asking for help solving his murder. Join them as they discuss the strongly written supporting characters, why sometimes it's good to have a slightly unlikable protagonist and the effectiveness of using rotoscoping animation for the show's dreamlike presentation.

Episode 115: Undone

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 114 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, Tracy and Robin review the 1981 Japanese anime film, Chie the Brat (Jarinko Chie). Based on a long running manga series, this film was directed by Isao Takahata (Pom Poko, Grave of the Fireflies) and follows the story of a surprisingly responsible but short-tempered young girl, Chie, and her life running a small restaurant and reining in her deadbeat dad, Tetsu. Join them as they discuss Tetsu being more of a dum-dum than a himbo, Chie's adorable relationship with her mother and the weird subplot involving cat testicles. (I mean, it was a thing with the tanuki in Pom Poko too, but this is just becoming a pattern now!) We enjoyed checking this one out and hope you dig this episode! Thank you so much for listening!

Episode 113: South Park Pandemic Special (with Jacob Davison)

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 112 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, Tracy and Robin review the 1995 Japanese anthology anime film, Memories, produced by Katsuhiro Otomo, creator of Akira. Join them as they discuss pouring one out for the dearly beloved Satoshi Kon, some unfortunately topical pandemic-related subject matter and why you can't have a compelling short based solely on world-building.

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 110 of the Not Joanna Eggs Podcast! This week, Robin and Tracy are joined by friend of the pod/cult history enthusiast Jacob Davison (@jacobdavison_) to discuss Infinity Train Season 3, streaming on HBO MAX. Note: This podcast involves *spoilers* for all of season 3 of Infinity Train. We recommend watching the entire series first before listening for appropriate context and also because it's awesome and you can binge the whole thing in under 2 hours. Join them as they discuss the importance of genuine empathy, Hazel being adorable and the dialed up body horror in the darkest season of the show yet. Please support the official release and tell HBO MAX that you want more because there are even more questions yet to be answered and we really want season 4 to happen.

This week, Tracy is joined by friend of the show/video game designer, Angus Beer (@angus_beer) to discuss the South Park movie, originally released in 1999. Join Tracy and Angus as they discuss the film's continued relevance in the age of COPPA affecting Youtube creators, Kyle's mom as the ultimate Karen and why Satan is an oddly compassionate character.

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 107 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, Robin and Tracy review the misguided 1994 animated film, The Pagemaster. Join them as they discuss the main character's probably trauma-induced fixation, stranger danger Christopher Lloyd and the film's strongly superficial attention to classic literature. It's certainly a movie, but not much of one. Thank you for listening! Please subscribe to us on iTunes, Spotify, Stitcher, Podbean or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 106 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, Robin and Tracy discuss the 2017 Masaaki Yuasa anime film, Lu Over the Wall. Join them as they discuss the gorgeously manic animation, the mere concept of merdoggies being amazing and why Yuho is absolutely idol material. It's the upbeat joy-filled movie we all need right now more than ever. Thank you so much for listening and we hope you dig this one.

Episode 106: Lu Over the Wall

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 105 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, we talk about the 2006 Animal Crossing anime film. Released around the time of Animal Crossing Wild World, this fun little movie features homages to many of the mechanics in Animal Crossing, including several that are no longer a part of the game. Join us as we discuss the confusing cherry pie metaphor, K.K. Slider’s voice before singing and our favorite shipwrecked sea gull as an astronaut. It's a fun little slice of life movie about making friends and, in some ways, learning to deal with difficult emotions. It's a neat little time, so we hope you enjoy this episode!

Hello everybody! Welcome to episode 104 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast. This week, Tracy and Robin discuss the 2020 Netflix CGI animated film, The Willoughbys. Join them as they discuss the disgustingly PDA laden relationship of the parents, the sheer delights of Terry Crews' character design and the strikingly split reviews on IMDB from parents. I guess it's inevitable once parental murder is on the table, especially in an animated film. Or they're just prudes, lol. Thank you for listening!

Hey everybody! Welcome to episode 103 of the Not Joanna Eggs podcast! This week, Tracy and Robin review the most unnecessary unauthorized non-Disney sequel, Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night. Join them as they discuss the blatant story knockoffs of the Disney classic, the unfortunate lingering 'stranger danger' energy and how they managed to put in so much padding within only an 86 minute runtime.

This week, Robin and Tracy are joined by friend of the show, John Werning (@JTAW3), to talk about the 2019 Studio Trigger anime film, Promare.
