This week: Our producer Jason steps in as guest host while Patrick goes globetrotting around Europe. Listen as Paola and Jason discuss the most beloved animated characters and settle once and for all whether rotoscope is, in fact, animation. Not to mention a recap of all the Round 1 results and a look ahead at Round 2 (watch Iron Giant, people!).
