If there’s any doubt that voice acting is real acting, look no further than H. Jon Benjamin. Watch him on Bob’s Burgers and on Archer. It’s the same exact voice but the acting makes them polar opposites. He doesn’t have a great range as for how different his voice will sound, similar to Patton Oswalt and Ron Funches,…

Some of celebrity casting is clearly intended to get parents to give in to their kids’ demands to take them to yet another animated piece of dreck. Perhaps they think if they see a big name attached that would lend the film some undeserved credence, such as in “Oh, Sir Patrick Stewart is the voice of the Poop Emoji,…

When someone comes in with an attitude of “I don’t have time to learn anything about you, so just shut up and do things the way I want,” it rarely works, even in the military.

Yup, just finished my rewatch last night to prep for the new season. Something that goes unmentioned that makes the show so great is the voice casting. While every actor nails everything and Alan Tudyk is a national treasure, there’s nothing funnier than hearing Ron Funches’ voice come out of King Shark’s mouth.

Peacock. And she can run back to back with Amber Ruffin.

Not at all. Which is what makes having Oprah as a character in the movie work so well.

Die, heretic!

I can remember Detmert’s name because I keep wondering why, given the state of 31st century medicine, she doesn’t get her facial implant removed.

It’s only six episodes in, give them a little time to explore the main characters first. There’s plenty of time for everyone to get a spotlight. Besides, the doctor’s subplot involving his daughter is heartwrenching and will obviously be revisited.

I love the banter between Pike and Ortegas. I’m waiting for a situation where the Enterprise is ambushed and attacked, and Pike, after several seconds of the ship getting pounded, as all captains are wont to do in this scenario calls out for “Evasive maneuvers!” Ortegas is likely to yell back “What the hell do you…

Just an FYI, my daughter was only peripherally aware of all things Trek, but absolutely loves Lower Decks. She was around 22 when it debuted, and she laughed at the stuff that didn’t require background knowledge. Then we’d watch each episode again immediately after, pausing it frequently so I could explain all the…

Speaking of Jimmy Woo, we still want a series with him and Darcy as the Mulder and Scully of the MCU, investigating incidents and meeting up with minor and obscure characters from the comics.

Yeah, A Million Way to Die in the West suffered only because of the inevitable comparisons to Blazing Saddles. And one review I saw summed it up well, saying Seth spread himself too thin and as an actor needed a better director and as a director, he needed a better actor. 

Oh.

If the actual Clippy had Gilbert’s voice from the start, I’d still be using it today. I can’t think of any way to make office job more fun than hearing Gilbert saying “Ooh, it looks like you want to write a letter” coming from multiple tinny computer speakers across a vast suite of cubicles.

Maybe Fathom can arrange a special showing of The Aristocrats. I was fortunate enough to see it in a fully packed theater the night it was released. Sharing the Aristocrats experience with an audience today would be very cathartic.

I had such a crush on Summer Bartholomew.

Did you hear his wife is pregnant again? So there’s another area where he’s not shooting blanks.

Joyously pointless shit.

And the next morning, the a-hole governor of Florida signed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill. One step forward, two steps back...
