• Hilda
    Jan 1 2026

    Tim and Erin help you kick off the new year by discussing our favorite cozy, eco-justice adventurer with 3 seasons and a movie, Netflix's Hilda. From pitch bibles to perfectionist friends to dealing with authority's inevitable disappointment, we think Hilda has much to teach us about great storytelling, growing up, and parenting.

    Rob DenBleyker is dead wrong on this one... but The Pebble and the Penguin doesn't work with the pun.

  • Wallace and Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
    May 5 2025

    Erin and Tim continue their mini-theme examining the animation of Tim's childhood through the recent return of Wallace, Gromit, an AI-smart gnome, and one very naughty penguin

    Tim ponders why animators seem to love gadgets but distrust automation while Erin considers Wallace's meddling with Gromit's garden as an invitation to understand the people we love and what they most care about.

    It's all in embracing process.
