True. Especially given how misplaced that nostalgia is. Transformers were my everything as a kid and that cartoon is atrocious. He-Man, She-Ra, just absolute bottom-rung animation.

I agree it’s nuts just how many properties still exist that I was into as a kid. But you also have Adventure Time, Stephen Universe, Gravity Falls, Gumball, and all sorts of neat stuff that’s just not as reflected in the toy isles. And even if so many franchises have become evergreen due to corporate antipathy to a…

Yes! Thank you.

Also, to say nothing of most people’s introduction to a brief supporting character with a helmet so cool, they made a whole television show about a palette-swapped version of him thirty years later.

Here’s to spending every grade school winter recess leaning against the snow piles built up by the plows clearing the playground, pretending to shoot probe droids out of the sky.

I enjoyed the shit out of this episode. I found Picard’s evil doctor completely satisfying and I loved the Shadowrun mission quality.

I have become Moss Man, Master of the Universe.

This is 160% my shit and I am all for it.

Also the rejoinder, “Did you see the same movie?” Which places Games Radar as the objective compass point of the Sonic movie by which all other media sites must revolve.

I commend you on the specificity in the stupidity of your accusation.

His one thing is conveying layers of humanistic emotion and feeling carefully presented in elaborately constructed and immaculately presented whimsical dioramas. They’re like bento boxes of the human condition.

I know there are people who get tired of Wes Anderson because he only does The One Thing, but I still get excited over every new movie of his. I mean, yeah, he only does The One Thing, but he does it so well.

See, look at our fun, easy-going banter. We should start an hour-long npr show.

You think? I dunno. I never tried to stop him from hosting or wished him ill where was. Now he’s happily retiring on his own terms and a show that I kind of like may now become a bit better. Seems pretty positive for everyone involved!

I’m incredibly pleased Krulwich is retiring. Radiolab has some of the most interesting stories told in the most insufferable format. His and Abumrad’s staged banter makes me cringe and the show’s over aggressive editing and quick-cut voice overs strangle the story. Granted, Krulwich’s absence will only address one of…

I haven’t seen the movie, but reading this piece makes me reflect on just how long the the conventional family structure persisted. I was born in ‘77. My parents were both very progressive and held masters degrees. Yet my mom was the one solely responsible for preparing meals and generally all the domestic work around…

🎵Your bones got a little maaaariiiiine🎵

The thing about raccoons that freaks me out is they aren’t afraid of shit. At our last house, my wife kept chickens. One night the automatic coop door malfunctioned and a raccoon was able to get in and began attacking one of our chickens. We heard her screams and ran out in the middle of the night to do... something.…

But if you do love Drag Me To Hell, you’ll be excited that a director who’s continuously visually inventive and connected with the pulpiest aspects of his films would be in charge of something (hopefully) as gonzo as “Multiverse of a Madness”.

While I generally feel narrative ambiguity gives the viewer more credit, the number of movies about whether this metaphysical experience is real or mental illness now far outweigh the ones where the resolution is concrete.
