Episode description

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are back and tackling another anthology movie, this time the 1987 animated movie that likely introduced anime to a generation of viewers. Does it actually hold up today? Well, no.

Available on Apple and Spotify

Episode 424 includes:

-Trailer reactions to live-action "How to Train Your Dragon," "Dear Santa," and "Minecraft," plus even more election griping.

-Ben says "Red One" is a mediocre mess of a bland holiday superhero movie.

-The long-awaited "Wicked" movie is a marvel and even improves on the celebrated stage show.

-The Anthologist - "Robot Carnival" (1987)

-The guys discuss the 1987 collection of anime shorts and are thoroughly underwhelmed by this collection of robot-related ideas. It's more a product of its time, a sampler of what anime could be for novices, and we've moved beyond these simplistic, vibes-heavy storytelling tedium.
