We finally have some new detail on Space Jam: A New Legacy thanks to Entertainment Weekly and their April Issue! In part to new images being released, Lola Bunny has caught some controversy which set Twitter ablaze and on those heels, Pepe Le Pew was a hot topic across the internet after Deadline reported a scene with him was cut out of the new film. In this week's episode, I'm joined once again by the talented singer/songwriter Reina Mora (see LOLA IN SPAAAAAAACE!) and John Carmack, a friend from college and the CEO of VEGIFY also stops by for some much needed insight to discuss these topics and more! Congratulations to the Warner Brother's Animation ...

Congratulations to the Warner Brother's Animation Team on their Annie Awards! Especially, Jim Soper (character design) and Andrew Dickman (Storyboard Artist) for Looney Tunes Cartoons!
