Luke Ski, an animation industry Storyboard Artist, Writer, & Voice Actor based in Burbank, California (who is also a nerdy comedy musician heard on “The Dr. Demento Show” and The Funny Music Project aka the FuMP dot com), hosts a podcast on all things relating to cartoons & animation, and sometimes other things in pop-culture, with a different guest co-host in each episode! We discuss our favorite animated TV shows and feature films, the fandoms that celebrate them, and sometimes go on rabbit-hole tangents the depths of which would astonish! We’ll also talk about any other “stuff” in pop culture that is relevant to our interests, from the recent and well known, to the nostalgic and deeply obscure. And each episode ends with 10-minutes-ish of comedy music, the best kind of music in the known universe! Our announcer is fellow funny musician Insane Ian, that is when it’s not just Luke doing his Gilbert Gottfried impression, again.

If the VH-1 show “Totally Obsessed” were still making new episodes, then Micah Hirsh would have been on it as the “The Emperor’s New Groove” guy! He breaks down the whole franchise on “The Emperor’s New Podcast”, which I have appeared on a couple of times. Micah came to L.A.
The one and only Tim Crist, a.k.a. ShoEboX of the comedy synth-punk juggernaut known as Worm Quartet is my guest this month, where we discuss why Luke seemingly likes everything he watches and ShoEboX seemingly hates everything that isn’t Pac-Man related.
