What’s up with the lion in the header? It’s a CG monstrosity.

I’ve only watched the Halloween episodes each year, and even those haven’t been great. One of the big thing that strikes me about the new episodes is Marge’s voice; Julie Kavner seems to be really struggling with it (understandably so).

I just found out about that SCTV reunion yesterday, and that was shot well over a year ago before the pandemic was a thing. Where the heck is it?

Reboots are the flavor of the decade.

Well, okay, that’s fine. I have zero interest in this reboot (or really anything from Paramount+), but good on ‘em.

Disney food is ridiculous. On my last trip, the resort hotel we were at - it was like $8 for a ham-and-cheese sandwich that was just two pieces of white bread, a couple of slices of ham, and a square of cheese. And I’m thinkin’, back in Jersey, I could manage to get a whole meal for that price. I would have toast…

I mean, is The Richie Rich/Scooby-Doo Show even worth referencing?

The new Ant-Man and Doctor Strange are the only ones I’m genuinely excited for (sigh, I have to wait 2 years for Ant-Man though...). As someone who did not grow up on comic books and got into the MCU films kinda in the game, I have a mild interest in the rest and will still end up seeing them anway.

I swear, they took all the other FOX Sunday animated shows, mixed them in a blender, and came up with the character designs for Duncanville.

Like that Lizzie Miguire reboot.

My thinking is that it’s because the film is about celebrating an often-discriminated group, and having there be a prejudice plot within that would seem counter-productive.

I saw an early screener last month and it’s good. I think some of the story changes didn’t work too well (no spoilers, but Benny’s storyline suffers the most from cuts and changes), but it looked pretty, the music is great, and I liked a majority of the cast (Lin was great as Usnavi, but there’s something about…

I’m so dumb, I actually thought it was Dolly until she stepped out into the light and I realized something was up.

And you’d think that Legends of the Hidden Temple reboot would go there too and not the CW (unless Paramount doesn’t outright own that show).

It worked for the RENT movie, right...right?

I knew they pitched a high school version, but I hadn’t heard they tried for anything more.

Kind of! That was treated more as its own show, whereas Bunk’d is still Bunk’d.

re Bunk’d: Especially since it was supposed to be a “Jessie” spin-off, and now all those kids left, so it’s like a weird spin-off of a spin-off but not really.

Sesame Street kinda already beat them to the punch on this:

I wish I could fail upwards like that.
