The Pixar Special

Due to the release of their eighth film, Ratatouille, the Cowboys decided that this week it was high time they paid homage to possibly the best animation studio on the planet.

So in this bumper episode, we go over every single one of their movies, rating each and picking our favourites, as well as exploring the various actors, creators, contemporaries and, of course, the hilarious shorts before every movie. As a comprehensive mini-history of some of the most influential animated films ever made, we’re very proud of this installment.

Portal/Gaming News Special

This week, the Cowboys are focusing on the facts. We have several news articles from the world of video games, including Bungie’s exodus from Microsoft, the PlayStation 3 price drop and the continuing saga of Rockstar’s Manhunt 2 and its casual sadism getting everybody upset.

We also have mini reviews of Portal (one fifth of Valve’s The Orange Box), and new cinema releases Kenny and Control.

This show guest stars the legendary Tom Underhill and long-time listener, podcaster and all-round media node Matt Fowler. Be sure to check out Matt’s show, Joinee Radio.

All long-time or newcomer fans of the Halo series should check this show out and pass it on to as many friends as possible.
