Vote On The December 2021 What A Cartoon Movie!
🕑 Added 2021-11-01 13:00:07 +0000 UTC
Now that Halloween is in our rearview mirror, it's time that we at Talking Simpsons Network start thinking about the final month of podcasts for 2021! As we enter November, we're still hard at work on Talking Simpsons and What A Cartoon (as well as our Batman The Animated Series podcast miniseries!), but also on our once-a-month $10 premium podcast. And we'll need your help to decide what we'll be covering in December.
Currently, we're so far ahead in podcast recordings that we've already recorded November's What A Cartoon Movie! (Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer), meaning that now we have time open on our schedule to record our December 2021 movie podcast, and we can start on that as soon as you choose the subject for us!
For those of you who are new to the Talking Simpsons Patreon, WELCOME. Also, you should know that once a month we release the What A Cartoon Movie! podcast, an extra-long discussion about an animated feature film, exclusively for our $10+ Patreon subscribers. And when we open up the voting for each month's subject, we want all the $5 subscribers to also have a chance to be heard, so those subscribers can help pick episodes they might enjoy down the line!
Our next 2021 poll covers a director we long wanted to cover, the late Satoshi Kon! And while we could open up the voting to one of four of his fantastic films, for us there's one that fits perfectly to post at the end of 2021: Millennium Actress. The film had its 20th anniversary this year, it's full of all the brilliance of Kon's work, and it's set on New Year's Eve, right around when the podcast would post for subscribers!
But we still want it to be the choice of our patrons. And so, as we've done in the past with these types of movie podcasts, we're leaving this up to you all as a yes or no option in our monthly poll. If you want us to finally cover one of the greatest auteurs in animation, vote "YES." And if you would prefer a different poll for the December movie podcast, then vote "NO" and we'll do a different poll with four choices after that.
So please, make your choice known before the poll closes on the night of November 7! Thanks as always for your continued support of our many awesome podcasts, and we hope you enjoy whatever wins!

I really don't like this polls. If you want to do Millennium Actress do Millennium Actress. We are the last one to stop you from it.

I think Kon came out of the gate with his best film, Perfect Blue is pretty well known, Millennium Actress deserves love too

A great example of what you can do in animation that wouldn't work so well in live action.
I don't know what this is but if HG says is worth it, who am I to argue?

Saw this in 2003 and it's remained my favourite animated film ever since.

What a coincidence! I was just listening to an old What A Cartoon Movie where you guys talked about doing this poll. I was hoping you didn't forget. Can't wait if the vote swings yes!
Matt Pearson
I watched Millennium Actress for the first time shortly after Kon died and reading his farewell letter. It wrecked me. I have been excited for this episode since it was first mentioned.

Is there anyway you could be joined by Mathew Jay of Cartoons 101. He could bring a lot to the discussion? I really miss his voice and haven’t heard from him in a long time. I hope he is well.
Harry Thornton
I say YES, I'm with Henry in thinking Millennium Actress is my favourite Satoshi Kon film, so glad it's getting covered on the podcast.

Can't wait to cry like a little baby all over again!
