Episode 101 - Daft Planet
from Cartoon Night in Canada Hosted by Chris Luciantonio
Like...whatever, it's Daft Planet. On this week's podcast, we are looking back at a time when the vibe of the young generation was blasé, sarcastic, and all-around disaffected, which made it very hard to make cartoons that spoke to them. In the early 2000s, Teletoon tried to court this demographic with a flash-animated, pop culture-obsessed portrait of dispassionate teens who are too cool to care...even about a Requiem for a Dream spiral of addiction for video games and boy band music. It's cool, I guess, I don't know. Episode covered for the podcast is Episode 5 "Requiem for a Game." Directed by Jon Minnis and written by Brent Donnelly and Derry Smith. Original airdate October 10, 2002.
