TOO SOON!

Some animated shows deserved WAY more time.

The fellas are back to talk about some of our favorite animated gems that were cancelled too soon, cut short, or simply deserved WAY more love! Steve and Rob dive into OK K.O.! Let’s Be Heroes, The Owl House, Mao Mao, Inside Job, The Legend of Korra, Close Enough and plenty of other shows that left us asking:

“WAIT… THAT’S IT?!”

But that's not all!

We're also introducing a brand-new segment: Indie Spotlight!

For our first spotlight, we're talking about the viral animated pilot “Pretty Pretty Please, I Don’t Want to Be a Magical Girl” from indie animator Kiana Khansmith and why we think this project deserves your attention.

Cancelled cartoons, underrated gems, and an exciting new voice in animation. There's a LOT to talk about this week.

Steve and Rob hop on to discuss some of their favorite romantic and some toxic relationships in animation. From wholesome ships to absolute train wrecks waiting to happen. After all, relationships are what we as humans crave! We talk about the relationships in shows like Avatar the Last Airbender, Steven Universe, She-Ra, Hey Arnold, Kim Possible, Archer, and many others!

And because this is the ADHD Pod, we inevitably go down a few unexpected rabbit holes! Steve and Rob also take some time to discuss the incredible lives and careers of Tim Curry and Dolly Parton.

Do we actually own our entertainment anymore?

With reports that PlayStation is preparing for an increasingly digital future and may stop producing physical game discs before 2028, we started asking ourselves a bigger question: What happens when everything we love becomes a license instead of something we truly own?

In this mini-episode of Animated Dysfunction High Definition, Rob and Steve dive into the importance of physical media, from video games and Blu-rays to DVDs, CDs, and collector's editions. We discuss why preserving movies, shows, and games matters, the rising costs of streaming, and why building a personal library may be more important than ever.

Of course, we also take a little time to proudly nerd out over our own collections and share why we're so passionate about keeping physical media alive for future generations.

Whether you're a lifelong collector, a gamer worried about the all-digital future, or someone who's tired of your favorite content disappearing from streaming services, this episode is for you.

Topics include:
• The future of physical video games and PlayStation's digital push
• Why "buying" digital content isn't always ownership
• The growing cost of streaming services
• Physical media preservation and conservation
• Why we're proud of our collections—and why you might want to start one too
