Simon and Josh April Catchup

Daisy Lawless is production coordinator at Mukpuddy and multi-discipline filmmaker. We discuss her early love of watching movies with her Dad, working her way up from *ugh* customer service to various roles in the world of film to finally achieving her goal of working in animation and how the most well-planned 48hour challenge team ever devised can still go awry.

Simon and Josh get reacquainted and chat about 'FURIOSA' and George Millers delightful indifference to continuity, Simon not being prepared to watch 'INSIDE OUT 2', why James Guns upcoming 'SUPERMAN: LEGACY' passes "the pants test" and Josh's 'CLONE HIGH' swan song project.

Storyboard artist Daniel Zhang is leaving Mukpuddy and sat down to chat with us before his big move to Australia. We chat about his youth in China and early influences, transitioning from industry work to teaching animation, pursuing varied hobbies to keep active and social, plus Simon, Josh and Dan compare how they keep their lives in perspective with diaries, calendars and self-addressed letters.

In case you didn't get enough last week, Simon and Josh recorded what ended up being a very long discussion about the new Star Trek they've been enjoying (Picard s3, Strange New Worlds s2, Lower Decks s4 and Prodigy s1), plus the classic series we've revisited and the new frontier: Books!

This year to celebrate First Contact Day, Simon and Josh sit down to chat with the Trekkies of Mukpuddy. 2:08 ~ Dane and Lannie talk about 'Next Generation' and imagining a future beyond consumerism. 39:19 ~ Ethan talks about 'Voyagers' highs and lows. 1:11:05 ~ Nix shares their unusual 'Next Generation' rarepair and we chat about our favourite couples. 1:45:11 ~ Sean chats about the adventurous spirit of the Original Series as a casual Trekkie. 2:25:15 ~ Tea chats about her favourite characters and why she loves the outsiders. 2:55:19 ~ Daisy chats about 'Enterprise' and 'Lower Decks' and what makes an alien hot.

Simon and Josh have been busy this year but they're never to busy for a quick catchup to discuss all the great TV and movies they've been enjoying, such as the new Mr and Mrs. Smith series, Academy-Award winning oddball Frankenstein flick 'Poor Things', Nathan Fielder's 'The Curse', divisive darling 'Saltburn' and the middling return-to-romcom 'Anyone But You', plus we shoutout our exciting new sponsors.

Nix is an animator at Mukpuddy and a multi-discipline artist. Nix chats with us about when animating clicked for them, mixing the macabre and the cartoony in their work, overcoming irony and embracing cringe and their many, many hobbies which includes but is not limited to painting, astronomy, fur-suiting and niche music genres.

Teahi Maiau is a character and effects animator at Mukpuddy, as well as comics artist behind the webcomic 'Dawn Chorus'' and in her spare time customizes dolls and creates cosplay! We chat with Tea about growing up in Tahiti, changing studies from graphic design to animation, moving countries with her partner and the demands of producing a webcomic while working in animation. This episode was recorded last year as you'll probably notice when Simon and Josh derail to talk about this brand new Barbenheimer phenomenon. Have you heard about this yet??

We start the new year with an interview from last year with Background artist Zoe Roberts about working regular jobs while persuing a career in the arts, their love of digital painting, their beloved pet Plum the cat, watching The Wire for the first time and Simon and Josh piece together their vague recollections of one of Zoe’s favourite franchises, Pokémon.

2023, we hardly knew ye! Tim Evans chats with us about the projects Mukpuddy has taken on this year and the expanding crew before Josh and Simon bring this podcasting year to a close with reflections on the great guests we've spoken to and with Bryn safely hospitalised, there's almost zero chance of a painful, punchy, Christmas segment.
