Seis Manos
We’re at 20 days before Disney+ tries to grab the streaming service crown off Netflix’s head and I have to say, it might be harder than the Mouse thinks. Seis Manos is a great example of how the reigning champ might … Continue reading
RIP: Russi Taylor
Sad to hear that voice actress Russi Taylor passed away over the weekend. She had been the official voice of Minnie Mouse for over 30 years. To me Russi will always be the voice of Bart’s intelligent frenemy Martin Prince. … Continue reading

Toy Story 4: Must See
The first nagging question I have had for the last few years with Pixar hasn’t been, “Does this really need a sequel?” It’s, “Which Pixar made this movie?” Will it be the one that knows how to tell a story … Continue reading
RIP Arte Johnson
What an awesome, long life and career Arte had! To my parents, he a writer and bit player on Laugh-In (a show that hasn’t aged well alongside SNL). To me Arte was a cartoon voice on a handful of Seventies Saturday Morning shows … Continue reading

I now have an iPhone Xs
Another piece of levity to lessen the severity or annoyance of losing my car two nights ago. The main reason for going to where we were going, resulting in the accident was to pick up my new iPhone Xs…and … Continue reading
Rock & Rule
Couldn’t pass up this Weird Wednesday offering at Alamo South Lamar since it’s a huge favorite of Somara’s. She has it on DVD somewhere too but with this being a Canadian movie with a tragic history, it was exciting to … Continue reading
The Big Mouth Club
I think the artist who did this shirt is one of those people that focuses on a couple themes and then does them to death. However, this mashup of the Big Mouth crowd with The Breakfast Club is rather fitting. Although Nick, … Continue reading

LEGO 2: Must See (Great Sequel too)
The long-awaited sequel to The LEGO Movie finally arrived, we saw it on the opening weekend and it sadly tanked. It’s not why my review is way, way overdue…it’s playing at the discount theater and I think you buy LEGO 2 on … Continue reading
1994: Duckman debuts
This odd cartoon from Klasky-Csupo (most famous for making Rugrats) made its debut on USA alongside Weird Science the Series. I think USA was trying to branch out into what we would call a more general “network/channel” like TNT or (W)TBS and WGN … Continue reading
Ralph Breaks the Internet: Streaming
Another movie that didn’t really need a sequel yet it turned out decently but it wasn’t necessarily with all the expense of going to a movie theater. My short version of Ralph 2. Initially I wasn’t remotely interested because the … Continue reading
RIP Will Vinton
His name may ring a bell at first but let me fill you in on why. Will is the guy who “invented” Claymation, aka Animation via clay. He wasn’t necessarily the first person to use stop-motion techniques with clay-based objects, … Continue reading
Two awful cartoons on Netflix, just avoid them
While there’s been a huge wave of disappointment over Groening’s new show for Netflix, I want to bring up a pair of cartoons which are much, much worse. Not as a way to raise Disenchantment‘s ratings by trashing others. No. I … Continue reading
Teen Titans Go! To the Movies: Streaming
Movie number one for my birthday double feature had to be this on its opening weekend. I readily admit the humorous version is growing on me via Hulu. I remain a fan of the serious version first and will always … Continue reading
