Raphael the Raven, on his giant floating "moon", was like something out of an creaky silent film.

Why are there so many vending machines in Peach's bedchambers…OH MY GOD!

Hey, remember the Cloud Prince? Well, a flamingo/human hybrid tossed him out of the Cloud Kingdom and replaced him with a morbidly obese raven, with the goal to eventually marry him to secure her position to the throne. Meanwhile, the Cloud Prince was adopted by an ancient Frog (with beard) and raised to believe he…

Don't forget riding on top of a whale's water spout.

There's this weird moment in Super Mario RPG where Mario finds an item in Princess's chambers that's labeled only as "Toadstool's ???". There is no indication of what this item is or what it looks like, but it must be something special, since Toadstool's Grandmother bribes you with a mushroom to not tamper with it,…

No problem. Try Banks- "Fuck Em Only We Know"

Oh yeah, Rixty Minutes is just awful. The worst is when they try to be meta about, which is akin to an awful movie claiming that they were deliberately awful because "that's the grindhouse way!". Still love the show, but that episode can always be skipped.

@monk@Monkeylint:disqus, what is your secret?

Odesza featuring Madelyn Grant-"Sun Models"

He tends to wear pancake makeup in his films-Alice In Wonderland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Edward Scissorhands, etc, although 'whiteface' has a different connotation than pancake makeup.

My avatar is of a character named Bazooey, a character from the immortal Halloween classic Witch's Night Out. He's the Hippie babysitter of the heroes of the story. Like everyone in this film, he's one color (red) and named after a character trait/personality quirk.

With Kate Bush, it seemed I would always discover a song that left me completely spell bound. I'm going to throw in being completely blown away by "Suspended in Gaffa" and the incredibly haunting "Infant Kiss", although "Ran Tan Waltz", with the line, "She saw me coming for miles", stayed with me for a long time.

Who can forget the NES Little Nemo: The Dream Master video game, which taught generations of children that you could induce a mole into slumber by feeding it ribbon candy?

When Siskel and Ebert brawl on the plane in an episode of the Critic, Siskel burns Ebert by mentioning his love of Benji the Hunted (although Ebert's response is that Siskel liked Carnosaur, which is a far bigger burn in my estimation)

Surprised no mention was made of the Benji ripoff tv show, Here's Boomer. Basically a cute mutt went around making lives better for everyone. It made The Littlest Hobo look like St Elsewhere, but the opening credits do feature a scene where Boomer rescues a Cocker Spaniel from an upturned, flaming car.

Benji the Hunted is responsible for a pretty great moment from At The Movies with Siskel and Ebert. Siskel pretty much sees the film as junk, although he notes he likes the scene where the "cute cougar kittens" cross the creek. Ebert, however, not only defends the film as excellent children's entertainment, but goes…

Is it 90s week at the AV Club again?

"Mmm Mmm Mmm! I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper. It does fine just by itself. I prefer it to Tuna Helper myself, don't you Clark?"

"Mmm Mmm Mmm! I don't know why they call this stuff Hamburger Helper. It does fine just by itself. I prefer it to Tuna Helper myself, don't you Clark?"

And to think I hesitated" is such a great, Faustian line. Also up there is "This is what you wanted to see. This is what you wanted to know…Now you know"
