Phantom Galaxy proudly presents the first episode in a brand new series called 'The Illustrated Fan', a podcast dedicated to animation and the fine arts that inspire it.
Dave Becker and Nathan Bartlebaugh, occasionally joined by Bill Van Veghel and other guests, will explore different shorts tv shows and films in the world of animation, covering all variety of styles including hand-drawn, stop motion, computer generated, and everything in between.
On our first episode we are joined by Bill to discuss the short films 'The Mysterious Geographic Explorations of Jasper Morello' and 'Neko Jiro So, or Cat Soup'.
Then we dive into one of the oldest existing animated films, 'The Adventures of Prince Achmed' by Lotte Reiniger.
Our second feature is the trippy science fiction epic 'Fantastic Planet' by Rene Laloux.
Then we share the listener messages and our first honorary voice mail from Greg Bensch.
So, strap in and get ready for a trip through animation history with The Illustrated Fan!
