James Rallison (better known as TheOdd1sOut) is one of those rare people. His simple, yet iconic, marshmallow character design has catapulted him to YouTube stardom, and since then he’s launched many successful projects, including his hit Netflix animated series “Oddballs,” the first two seasons of which are streaming now. This week, he’s entering The Create Unknown to impart his animator’s wisdom onto all of us. To start things off, we dive into James’ recent foray into the world of GAMBLING. He tells us his foolproof roulette strategy that wound up winning him 200 Australian dollars, but as it turns out, it really isn’t as easy to hoodwink the house as it may seem. Then Kevin and James reminisce about last year’s VidCon, and their brief but memorable meetup at the event. James has been a featured creator at the convention for over half a decade now, and he tells us about all the changes and surprises that he’s seen over the years. James also marks a TCU milestone for us as our first ever guest with their very own Netflix show. He lets us in on the process of making “Oddballs,” and we also get a look at the astonishing team he’s put together to keep making his YouTube content. James has found massive success in nearly every market he’s touched, but we’re curious to get a peak behind the scenes at his professional life. Matt asks if James has had any projects go sour, and Kevin wants to know exactly how he juggles all these projects to stay on top. For fans of James’ content – don’t worry. We spend the latter half of the episode talking about many Odd1sOut staples, from James’ infamous time working in the fast food industry, to the recent killing of the anthropomorphic M&Ms, and even an exclusive update into his furry journey. We finish out the episode with some questions from our patrons who want to know about James’ future furry plans, comic/animation advice, face reveals, and much much more.

Things get off to a flying start this week as we discuss the Top 5 Slow Motion moments: mind melting special effects, hilarious comedic scenes, big drama and a load of excellent nominations from our listeners help conclude this now completely rejuvenated section of the show. Huzzah! We like to think we offer a broad spectrum of reviews, reflecting our various interests and love of all different genres of film. One area we haven't really tackled is the romantic comedy which led Dan to choose Netflix's LOOK BOTH WAYS for our entertainment this week and with a clever conceit which allows us to follow the different paths that artist Natalie's life takes when she finds out the result of a pregnancy test on her graduation day, surely this had the potential to be a surprise hit with the Dads? That would have been nice but unfortunately despite the low bar this podcast set in the very early days, the key question of "were you entertained?", LOOK BOTH WAYS cannot reach even that. A reasonably charming performance from Riverdale's Lili Reinhart cannot compensate for the thinly-sketched love interests with personalities such as "wears tight jumpers and has dubious takes on animated movies" and "terrible drummer in an awful covers band", soporific plot and thematic blandness accompanying it's "everything will be okay" message, all delivered with competent but uninspired direction and one of the worst scores you'll ever be forced to hear. Reducing a movie about an accidental pregnancy, in Texas, to a dull, platitude filled rom-com seems insensitive at best with the current dismal state of affairs in the US, the baby timeline never seems to feature financial worries or trouble from either Natalie or Gabe in adapting to being a co-parent and the overall sense from both realities is that it doesn't matter whether you have a child, the most important thing is whether you snag a hot boyfriend. Warm and cosy I guess, in the sense that it made me want to go to sleep. ODDBALLS is an animated adventure comedy from YouTube artists James Rallison and Ethan Banville. Episode 4 "Line Cutters" combines the social observation of CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM with the inventive lunacy of RICK AND MORTY and sees James, a sentient marshmallow blob, and Max, a crocodile, at the front of the queue for a food stand selling ribs which have been slow cooked for 100 years by chefs infused with the DNA of Gordon Ramsey. When security rock Roxanne sends them to the back of the line following an incident with a girl from the future the duo will unravel a horrific conspiracy but also eat some tasty meat so every cloud etc. You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Teks Sing….2x Both of these songs are Robert James Rallison's songs, he is an American YouTuber, animation, writer and singer. Life is Fun is a song made to mock the existential thoughts that always linger in the back of your head. This was made because both creators simply wanted to make a full song after the continuous flops of the other mini-songs. This concept and melody were made to mock the pop songs that revolve around life being amazing, and inspirational quotes you would find on Instagram or Twitter. While the song good person is a song about someone doing things that look like good deeds on the outside, but are all later revealed to be solely for their own benefit or outright lies. For closing, listen to these two songs, already available on Spotify, Youtube and apple music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAb_bCtKuXg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT-Xe-5qpRQ
