Episode 94 - Xcalibur
On this week's episode, Chris and Sylvie boot up an old copy of The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion and contemplate the history of CGI animation while talking about a wrongfully forgotten show from that history's awkward, transitional years. It's Xcalibur - a sword-and-sorcery tale that was made with so much passion the still nascent technology behind its animation could not match. If you put the show in context, it holds up pretty well. If not, well...
CORRECTION: In this podcast we refer to the region of France that speaks the Occitan language as "the Occitan region of France." We meant to say "the Occitan-speaking region of France" which encompasses multiple regions to the south including Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Centre-Val de Loire, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Occitania, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur.
Episode covered for the podcast was Episode 1 "The Sword of Justice." Directed by Didier Pourcel. Written by Benjamin Legrand & Amélie Aubert. Original airdate September 1, 2001.

Episode 96 - NFB Showcase #9: Martine Chartrand
In honour of Black History Month, we are using our side series highlighting the innovative and significant animation produced through the National Film Board to spotlight the work of one trailblazing black artist. The paint-on-glass animation of Haitian-Canadian animator Martine Chartrand has been used in her visually stunning work to explore the enduring flow of Black history and culture throughout the makeup of Canada's identity. Whether it be a a montage of centuries of significant events in Black Soul (2000) or one unlikely friendship that irrevocably changed two lives in Macpherson (2012), her intricate and gorgeous work is worth spotlighting any time of the year.
Films covered are Black Soul (2000) and Macpherson (2012). Links: https://www.nfb.ca/directors/martine-chartrand/
