“Realistic” superheroes from different angles

Italian #53: Natasha Leggero
Natasha Leggero has been quite busy these days. For several years she co-starred in a parody of all those Victorian shows everybody goes ape shit for, Downton Abbey…blech! Could the Anglophilia be any grosser? Hers was called Another Period and co-starred … Continue reading
2001: The Simpsons Season One on DVD debuts!
I clearly remember buying this during my lunch hour from a nearby Best Buy, just not the exact day other than it probably was a Tuesday when all new media used to arrive. A DVD player had joined my household … Continue reading
[adult swim] is now 20
I talked about it in greater length a decade ago here. Amazingly, the part-time network is still going strong despite all the cord cutting because I think [adult swim] has made the transition to streaming. If not, it’s made a … Continue reading
RIP Ed Asner
It was sad to hear about Ed’s passing while Kathy and I were in the middle of working on our podcasts. He was a helluva’ person! Not just a great heavy in movies/TV, but a person who put his money … Continue reading

Here’s to the future that was!
One of my favorite Adult Swim shows from the initial launch is March’s header. I held off celebrating the crew’s misadventures to now because a vaccine rollout (January) and Chinese New Year (February) were more pressing…or would it be relevant. If … Continue reading

RIP Marc Wilmore (belated)
Damned Twitter! Found out through fellow Producer Mike Reiss that Marc died last week from CV-19. Life is unfair all to often since Orange Foolius and his legions remain free and not in prison where they belong while a person … Continue reading

Soul: Pixar rebounds…for now
What a pisser that I didn’t get to see this for the first time at Alamo Drafthouse for Soul was definitely an event movie and I can only imagine them having some original snipe before the main attraction. Oh, of course … Continue reading
The Venture Brothers is cancelled, 2020 keeps on suckin’
Jackson Publick & Doc Hammer made it official at Dragon Con, the most innovative show Adult Swim had to offer is now over, loose ends and all. It was the bright spot of what for a long time was just … Continue reading
F is for Family: three seasons
I thought I wrote all about this adult cartoon back when it debuted on Netflix years ago. Worse, I warned you all to avoid Pacific Heat…twice, it is that bad. Well, F is finally airing what will be its fourth season next month so … Continue reading
Solar Opposites: one season
From the voice half of Rick and Morty comes a new cartoon mocking pop culture through alien eyes. What makes Solar even funnier is that everyone on earth they encounter could care less about them (Korvo, Terry, Yumylack and Jesse) being aliens. It’s … Continue reading
Onward: Streaming at best
One upside the Pandemic has given us, Disney moving this mediocre Pixar movie to Disney+ since movie theaters are shuttered indefinitely. I was glad because I saved money, Alamo isn’t cheap when anything doesn’t deliver. The first warning sign I … Continue reading
