0:00.0	Welcome back to fine-tuning with Drew Taylor, your one-stop shop when it comes to animation news and commentary.
0:06.0	I'm entertainment writer Jim Hill and Mr. Taylor, whose writings on the industry you can regularly read over on the rap and whose musings on the
0:16.0	Mission Impossible movies you can listen to on like the Fuse, the official Mission
0:20.7	Impossible podcast. He and I are recording this week's show on Sunday, July 21st,
0:27.0	2024, and kind of a big news day,
