Funny story, Dan Vs. was actually produced by The Hub's CEO at the time - her production company, anyway. I'm 100% sure that's only way that show made it to air there.

Yeah, that essay was extremely rambly. I'm not sure exactly what his thesis was. It started off like he was playing the "woe as me, no one grows up anymore" crap, then he acknowledged it was crap thinking, and then… well, he kinda described a lot of stuff, like Louie CK and Beyonce, and I'm not sure where he was going.

There was an article about this on Cartoon Brew, specifically their run on Netflix, and I was really confused, because they claimed it was new, but I would've swore it was on The Hub.

Well, I only meant it in terms of the concentration camp element, really. I think it's -too- realistic and heavy in a game involving robots and magic. It's a tricky thing, though - Wolfenstein overall always had a lot of elements involving torture and experiments, but it was always couched in a B-movie aesthetic. The…

So about two weeks ago I finished playing Wolfenstein: The New Order. I started playing it because there was a lot of hype over it, but I found the game rather lackluster and tonally off. For one thing, the "grenade throwing" action was mapped to the same button as the "switch weapons" action, which - I mean, I hope…

I think it was a lot of that, coupled with a misguided sense of direction (the Disney Afternoon was on its last legs at this point) and the pressure to make it all XTREME 'TUDE, which, you can kind of tell, the producers didn't -really- want to do but was forced to do it.

The thing about the ducks/human thing is that the producers were trying to emulate the classic Disney shorts, which indeed had its duck characters surrounded by humans.

The movie is great. It's fairly straight-forward but it's a lot of fun, and that hot tub scene is crazy intense.

Funny thing about that episode is that it portrays the cult surprisingly well. It's a faction within the cult that's dangerous, but the leader & most of the followers are genuine and helpful and kind (they look to help Gadget at her lowest moment, and even though she doesn't buy into their worldview, it's handled…

A lot of it really is how Pete treats PJ. He kinda tortures him, giving him shit for being scared of an R-rated horror film and pretty much saying if he fails a math test, he'll disown him. It's played for laughs but Pete has a "ultra-rightwing/kids these days" kinda attitude to him.

Kiiiinda, but Pete's kinda a monster, too. Like, he's portrayed in a comic manner, but there's a lot of… uncomfortable stuff he does.

While I wouldn't go as far as saying she had autism, she definitely had mental/emotional issues. Her father died at some point and she spent a lot of her life trying to live up to him as a pilot, even though she was inventor at heart.

I would say up until Goof Troop, Disney cartoons were stone-cold classics. Goof Troop was when the cracks were showing. There's a story about how the new head of production was clearly in over his head with that show.

When I re-watched Chip 'N Dale, I was shocked how much I enjoyed it. I was expected it to be cheesy and campy and relatively stupid, but it's actually really great, clever, and enjoyable, with some really sly, blink-and-you'll-miss-them references. There's even one episode with a mystery that was genuinely baffling…

That's kinda why I like Ditka though. ESPN is such a joke, Ditka is kinda like their hipster "credibility" mascot (he even got the glasses a few weeks ago). The only thing the network is missing is a laugh track.

Ducktales had a zeppelin episode, and the zeppelin was called the Hindentanic, because Ducktales is awesome.

Whenever BI slowed down and had you exploring the city and the atmosphere, it was really cool. After you rescue Elizabeth the first time, and you just look at all the shitty arcades, the dance, the semi-racist Goofus/Gallant knockoff, and the definitely-racist treatment of segregated roles, it's so, so interesting.…

Man, that Cruis'n USA port was a piece of shit, wasn't it? When the goddamn bus is spinning out as easily as any other generic car, you know you have a crappy game.

The whole show is defined by heightened theatrics, which is always great. The Thailog episode, in particular, is a really fun one but is so over-the-top that it's kinda funny.
