Even if you think that calling this ‘traumatizing’ is an overstatement, jumping in and interrupting a segment you’re not in because you think it’s annoying is a dick move, doubly so when it’s “Oh, geez, a conversation about kids’ mental health, how annoying!” Sorry the attention wasn’t on you for a moment, bro! I’m…

“Disney’s trying to control my speech! So now I’m going to try to use lawsuits to legally force them to write Mandalorian scripts that include my character!”

whut?

I just *love* the troll complaints I’ve seen that insist that LGBTQ inclusion and storylines are the result of Disney’s involvement (because, you know, Disney is definitely known for all of their trans characters) and not because it’s an organic inclusion by the showrunner that brought us ‘Queer as Folk.’

YAAAAAS!

Or the Muppets Christmas Carol and Emmet Otter soundtracks! Paul Williams really did some of his best work with the Muppets!

Sia’s Christmas album is pretty much a classic from start to finish. I also love that her habit of ‘party-sounding songs that have kind of depressing lyrics that no one pays attention to’ means that ‘Ho Ho Ho’ is used in a bunch of commercials from ad execs that don’t know better.

“Buy cozy winter fashions at Target!”

She & Him’s first Christmas album is the first Holiday album that I actually bought. I bought it out of curiosity at a STARBUCKS (ah, 2011!).

Despite being an American, I think most of my Christmas music tastes are from the 80's, I reckon because a)I’m a Gen Xer that B) grew up on the Dr Demento show, and the 80's produced LOTS of novelty Christmas music and then in my 20's I C) worked at the Virgin Megastore, which tended to eschew classic Christmas…

How dare you uncultured monsters not include Percy McTinsel-bud’s Tinsel Machine! 

Most stop motion productions *don’t* actually use clay. I’m actually really surprised to learn Aardman uses clay and not the ‘armature under foam' technique you mentioned. True claymation at the scale they produce is a monumental (and even more impressive) undertaking. 

“boy if that didn’t reinforce my initial desire for him to be voiced by Nick Offerman.”

There’s something about the way this new version of Garfield is rendered that makes his muzzle look more like a floofy mustache. Which made me consider that if they were going to cast a Parks & Rec actor to do VO for Garfield, it would have been PHENOMENAL to have him voiced by Nick Offerman.

I was never wild about the Garfield strip, but as a kid the Garfield holiday specials were all amazing, particularly the Halloween one.

I agree that i guess it really depends on what your criteria of ‘best’ is. The Dreaming absolutely affected me the most, Never For Ever is what I listen to most *now*, but I guess if there was an album that I would recommend as a starting point for someone new to Kate, ‘Hounds of love’ would be it - It’s pretty good…

I must be the one outlier, because I’ve been a dedicated Kate fan for decades, and The Dreaming is my favorite album, too. ‘The 9th Wave’ half of HoL is a very VERY close second, but 16-year-old gothy me spent a non-insignificant amount of ink scrawling ‘wE lEt tHE wEIrdNeSS iN...” on entirely too many book covers.…

“now Bob’s Burgers, I think, is explicitly trying to not be political,”

Arni is waaaay too progressive for any Republican to accept today. He actually believes in vaccines and climate change!

This whole list is Brak erasure! I can just about accept that his show didn’t make the cut, and ‘Cartoon Planet’ could I GUESS dismissed as a re-conceptualized ‘Space Ghost’, but you’re not gonna even give him a shout out in the ‘Space Ghost’ section?

I feel like Bamford’s more of a Morty, but would be a BRILLIANT Morty. Nobody does unbridled anxiety like Bamford!
