About this listen

We're on a nostalgic journey to dig through decades of Canadian animation to find the good, the bad, and the just plain weird cartoons of the Great White North. Every week, Sylvie and Chris take a look at an animated something or other from their shared experience of growing up in Canada to see what holds up, what left an impact on us, and what is best left in the past.Chris Luciantonio Art

  • Episode 140 - Rescue Heroes
    Jun 21 2025

    Happy Belated Pride Month Everybody!

    Our apologies, we'll have more Pride-centric contact coming in the next few weeks. For the time being, here is a soft-copaganda show that probably responsible for many a bisexual awakening. A super team of bulky emergency responders who have no known jurisdiction, no oversight, and seemingly no system of checks and balances to curtail their authority. It's the Rescue Heroes, and safety is their game all across the globe.

    Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 18 "High Anxiety/Canyon Catastrophe." Written by Howard Nemetz and Melissa Mortimer, respectively. Credited directors Brian Lee, Harry Rasmussen, and Ken Stephenson. Original airdate August 18th, 2001.

  • Episode 139 - NFB Showcase #12
    May 31 2025

    Once again, we make use of the incredible archival resource of Canadian animation that is the National Film Board of Canada for another cursed double bill. A stop-motion raucous bug orgy and a storybook Inuit creation song. What do they have in common? Not much.

    Films covered for the podcast are Martin Barry's Juke-Bar (1989) and Germaine Arnattaujuq, Neil Christopher & Louise Flaherty's Arctic Song (2022).

  • Episode 138 - Delta State "Case Study."
    May 25 2025

    We once again find ourselves drifting aimlessly through the parallel dimension known as the Delta State. A paranoid state of delusion that decides the fate for all humankind if not for a group of amnesiac twenty-something Montreal hipsters. We felt it was only right to return to a one of a kind Canadian production we will never see on television again because we just appreciate that it exists so much.

    Episode covered for the podcast was Episode 3 "Case Study." Written by Vincent Bonjour and directed by Gilles Cazaux. Original airdate Sept, 19, 2004.
