Welcome to Fine-Tune with Drew Taylor, your one-stop shop when it comes to animation news and commentary.

I'm Drew's co-host, entertainment writer Jim Hill, and he and I are recording this show on Sunday, July 5th, 2020, which... the is that I what I've been like? Yeah, you know I just wanted to kick back Jim and just relax on this 4th July weekend, but the Blitzkrig of fireworks and other mortar shells blanketing the town made it a little hard to enjoy

that so I'm a little bit less enthusiastic today it's because of the lack of sleep and the having to you know

No, that that's inspired. But yeah, no, they were like I won't lie to you. They were beautiful

you know and in fact, it reminded me there was one 4th of July

or was actually flying back from LA. As we were coming in for a landing, we basically saw every fireworks show from Central Massachusetts

right up to Massachusetts Bay go off.

And it was cool to be up in the air looking down at it.

On the other hand, being there on the ground

with your poor little dog.

I'm so sorry.

Did you look out the window and say,
