Episode 65 - Mo Money Mo Cats
Episode description
Layoffs, lawsuits, and cats -- OH MY! Stephen and Rob talk about the tough subjects of foreign VFX subsidies and the troubles fighting them, the abrupt closing of PDI/Dreamworks Redwood City campus, and a Kickstarter campaign so ridiculously popular it brings up the topic of how democratic is the internet really. But with all the negative subjects, we also got a few questions from you listeners so we end on some positive thoughts! Oh also, it's my (Stephen) birthday and we totally didn't mention it once... so there's that. Enjoy!
