In the first half of the episode, Tom and Tony sit down to discuss some of the unexpected theatrical animation hits of the year and slide into the unexpected: a film review!  In the second half, the brothers review (and critique) the biggest film of the year: “K-Pop Demon Hunters”!  

In this podcast, straight from Animation Y'all Expo 2025, is the amazing visual development artist Shannon Hallstein! In this art lecture, she discusses her approach to working in Procreate, her creative influences, and telling stories using color, composition, and layout.  But, because she had many physical examples on the screens in person, we recommend viewing her art on Instagram while listening (@the_blue_leviathan). Enjoy this mini-Masterclass with Shannon Hallstein!
