Like Iggins from the wreckage, we rise due to network demands. This is not my favorite of our episodes but I finished it and even though we lost a laptop (RIP) and these have become a bit more challenging to record, I will post this for the couple of people who would rather see it than not. I'm editing something else too, but it's not Zim. Still, thanks to the couple of fans we have for these, I'm glad you enjoy our babble!
How's it going fellow kids?! Sure has been awhile. In this episode we talk about why Planet Jackers are called Planet Jackers, make firm our resolve to devote our next podcast to Steve Bushemi, and then a little bit of banter about writing for movies (like a Zim movie) vs TV like we know anything about that at all, because we've written for neither. Next episode will not take a whole year this time, I promise, I actually already started editing it so next week or so it should be coming at you! Double your pleasure.
The podcast returns like a cicada, rarely. And too dumb to have any natural defenses.
In this one we mostly talk about Shunk being great and the meta of how the world is somehow NOT cruel to a good person in this show for once. Also Alexis cares deeply about Dib’s last name. As deeply as Gaz cares about pizza. And she forgets to draw Dib being a friend with Shunk, probably because Dib cannot make any friends, even when we want him to. If you want to listen to the rest here’s a playlist!
Surprise! Another episode so soon? It’s true. It’s because we love you so much. Merry Hallowsgiving. In “Career Day” we ponder who really IS Count Cocofang? And furthermore, is he part of the government approved program to distract from the real conspiracies in the world of Zim? Probably not, but we talk about that anyway.
WOAH this is a thing. FINALLY. Hey Zim fans. We’re sorry for taking so long. At least you guys have had Zim comics to tide you over! Zim is officially back! And we’re officially terrible at releasing a podcast consistently. HIGH FIVES ALL AROUND. The next one hopefully won’t take 7 months. YES! NOTE ABOUT PODCAST RELEASE TIMES: This one took forever because of a lot of factors but mainly because we accidentally made 2 of these recordings about 4 months apart and I had to pull a Dr. Frankenstein to put them together. I do love making these and I want to make them faster. I'd love to make this a once a month thing at least, but since this isn't our main job it can take awhile. I'm glad you guys enjoy it though, thanks! There’s a playlist on YouTube and if you subscribe to me there, you can see when we do a new episode.
Internet arguments.
Hey there true believers! It’s been 8 months since we posted one of these but HEY Zim Podcast is back! With Saucer Morons! For any new followers, I Was the Podcast All Along is me and my wife alexis-royce doing episode by episode Zim analysis/talking about... of... Zim. We like the show and we like talking about things. What can I say. I can’t say another will be up soon it’s SUPER long so editing is going slowly, but the plan is that all of them are going to be on youtube from now on, so you can follow this a bit easier by subscribing to my youtube if you’re into the “two ladies talking about Zim” scene. If you go to youtube, there’s a playlist of all the other episodes. In Attack of the Saucer Morons, we discuss Dib's bee training skills and the city's stringent lake purification process. See you next episode in... THE WETTENING.
Chelsea has seen the show through a few times and has a BA in English (this is what she does with it.) Alexis knows so much about Zim that she might be legally considered dead. She’s read all the unmade scripts, trading cards, side info, commentaries, and probably a gross amount of fanfiction. In Dark Harvest, we talk about subtle horror established by angle, color, and sparseness, mention our charity, the Association to Prevent Head Pigeons and speculate on the real reason Dib's head is so BIG.

A podcast of episode by episode Invader Zim analysis by married duo Alexis and Chelsea. Chelsea has seen the show through a few times and has a BA in English (this is what she does with it.) Alexis knows so much about Zim that she might be legally considered dead. She's read all the unmade scripts, trading cards, side info, commentaries, and probably a gross amount of fanfiction. In Germs, we talk about how Irkens are germaphobes and how advertisers will exploit that, Chelsea then outlines an episode premise of Dib in an Irken shopping mall just to make Alexis suffer.
Zim: You! Burger lord! How is it that this meat is so pure, so perfect?
Burgerlord: Well, it all started in 1962...
The burger lord has a flashback. We see a rocket blast off into space.
Burgerlord: Utilizing advances in modern food synthesis, scientists at NASA began work on a germ hostile space meat-
As burger lord says 'space meat,' his face appears along with a meat patty, but disappears right after that. 'Space Meat' is echoed. The rocket opens up revealing a probe.
Burgerlord: -to be used during long expeditions into deep space!
As burger lord says 'deep space,' his face appears. The words 'deep space' are echoed. Scientists are seen sending volts of electricity into a patty of space meat.
Burgerlord: Only recently has their hard work paid off.
A scientist fiddles with a burger from behind a wall by sticking his hands through two openings into gloves.
Burgerlord: As even more advances in the field of space meat have been made and applied to what is now called "Operation Meat".
Burgerlord's head appears when he says 'space meat.' Both 'space meat' and 'meat' are echoed. A building is seen. A chart shows lost profits, which is a plummeting line graph. Angry customers are shown by the graph.
Burgerlord: Seeing this as a way to end their streak of being sued by angry costumers poisoned by their burgers, the Mac Meaties corporation decided to try this miraculous space meat.
The words 'space meat' are echoed. The flashback ends.
Burgerlord: Not having access to that technology, we make ours out of napkins.
The word 'napkins' is echoed. -TRANSCRIPT FROM INVADER ZIM "Germs"
So I just posted our 4th episode of our Zim Podcast but since the Podcast leaves no room for visuals, let me share these two screencaps from Parent Teacher Night and Walk of Doom. These shots both really shine without me even having to point out why, but it’s always worth the time to slow down and appreciate gems like this. Not enough cartoons make use of angles, composition, and color palettes like these, mostly because it’s outside of their budget (or it’s occasionally outside of the vision or motivation of the storyboard artists and other staff) but it’s shots like this that can really remind you why this show holds up so well.
This week on our Invader Zim Podcast we combined Parent Teacher Night and Walk of Doom to form a giant robot of babies. No wait, that's later. Also I drew the title card, thus why it's not as good. In this episode we talk about the systemic destruction of an Irken's ability to love, a possible reason for GIR's increasing lack of usefulness, Zim's werewolf regeneration powers, and how Mexico must be the promised land.
Chelsea has seen the show through a few times and has a BA in English (this is what she does with it.) Alexis knows so much about Zim that she might be legally considered dead. She’s read all the unmade scripts, trading cards, side info, commentaries, and probably a gross amount of fanfiction. In "Bestest Friend" we talk about how we wouldn't eat alien peas, and how Alexis wishes she could have a friend gauntlet.
So my wife and I like to talk about stuff at length. This is a podcast of episode by episode Invader Zim analysis by me and my wife. Chelsea has seen the show through a few times and has a BA in English (this is what she does with it.) Alexis knows so much about Zim that she might be legally considered dead. She's read all the unmade scripts, trading cards, side info, commentaries, and probably a gross amount of fanfiction. In "Nightmare Begins" we talk about the "Dib procedure", Irkens burning down the Library of Alexandria, and we say, once and for all, why Zim was cancelled.
