The Animatrix (Cartoon Cabal)

About this episode

Thomas and Matt discuss the transition from Disney art direction to creating content around conspiracy theories.

It's not easy being (digital) green. Thomas moved from art direction at Disney World, to creating entertaining comic books, podcasts, and toys riffing on conspiracy theories.

And if you're Scrooge McDuck, throw a bob out to Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/podcastiopodcastius Matt makes lots of music. Brand new ones include the binaural head trip of "The Depths of Fieldation," and the acid-folk of "Into the Faerie Mound."
