Best Animated Podcast
Love animated movies and often argue about what should have won or been nominated at the Oscars?
Enjoy this explorative revisiting of every Best Animated Feature Academy Award nominee in alphabetical and chronological order! Listen along to host and film critic Jakob Kolness, as he and multiple guests break down each film from its production history, story, reception, and argue whether or not the Academy chose correctly. Laugh along as our guests share memories of their first viewings of each film, get quizzed on trivia, and (only occasionally!) go off on a tangent about nonsense. From Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius to K-Pop Demon Hunters, Best Animated Podcast is not only a podcast for those that love animation but for film lovers and awards season obsessives alike!
LISTENER DISCRETION ADVISED: While this podcast mostly covers family films, animation is not limited to films only appropriate for children, and for consistency-sake, these episodes will be labeled as EXPLICIT and will occasionally feature foul language and discussions of mature content.
