Seis Manos

Posted on October 22, 2019 by Steve

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

Posted on July 31, 2019 by Steve

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

Posted on July 16, 2019 by Steve

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

Posted on July 3, 2019 by Steve

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 →

Posted on June 29, 2019 by Steve

 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

Posted on June 25, 2019 by Steve

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

Posted on April 22, 2019 by Steve

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 →

Posted on April 7, 2019 by Steve

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

Posted on March 5, 2019 by Steve

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

Posted on February 26, 2019 by Steve

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

Posted on November 25, 2018 by Steve

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

Posted on September 3, 2018 by Steve

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

Posted on August 25, 2018 by Steve

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 →
