Checking blu-ray.com is something I do everyday religiously

Mostly to see if any Discotek releases go on sale

Last Black Friday I think a lot of their titles went on sale at 35% off, but that might have been at the Crunchyroll Store (RightStuf)

We’ll see what happens with MediaOCD’s blowouts

@darylsurat.bsky.social you’re right there.

Nintendo’s clearly making a lot of money with the Switch 2 and if you’ve been watching the MLB playoffs like I have recently you’ll likely have noticed their sponsorship of the Seattle Mariners.

Didn’t Nintendo own the team at one point?

They’re doing it on the Criterion website as well!

Unobstructed View was at Fan Expo Canada this year & had a lot of really great deals at their booth

This YT series is worth checking out for a look at the business side of the NA anime industry.

Jerry Beck is awesome & (please correct me if I’m wrong) but isn’t he involved with MeTV Toons?

I will say Olivia Hussey is good as Norma & Anthony Perkins is always great as Norman Bates (Psycho 2 is a great sequel I feel deserves more respect).

But yeah, Joseph Stefano didn’t really deliver with the script.

Still better than the Gus Van Sant shot-for-shot 1998 remake

Just got something from him. Discotek Digimon title I have but am picking up for a friend

@riderstrike.bsky.social Justin Sevakis made that expressly clear.

Even to caveman me though, I found the story of an anime composer competing in Harlem asking a lot of my suspension of disbelief

If a sequel comes to fruition, this means @tabrakadabra.bsky.social will keep getting mistaken for Katie

Four years after the animated tale of one family's fight against a malevolent tech takeover premiered, Netflix has confirmed that a sequel to The Mitchells vs. the Machines is in the works.

Yeah most restaurants are sold or fold within the first 3 years of establishment right?

I’ve seen enough of Bar Rescue to see how it goes

There’s a thought! You need to trademark that idea, because you’re onto something

My thoughts today when I saw this

Seriously though Dave, aside from the hilarity of the “friendly North-South rivalry” & copying Medieval Times format, this is probably the most American thing I’ve ever seen

Same. Gotta root for the little guy here

Is it true that Sentai Filmworks lost Oshi No Ko’s latest season streaming rights to Crunchyroll?

onlytoonami.bsky.social @onlytoonami.bsky.social · 1d

😕 that is unfortunate

Living in Toronto, it’s beautiful how the whole country has come together for the Blue Jays. Everyone on the street is in fan gear. Put out some merch at my new job today that the company’s been sitting on since 2021 & it’s flying off the shelves

It’s truly been a Cinderella run for this team 🥹

onlytoonami.bsky.social @onlytoonami.bsky.social · 1d

I’m guessing us Canucks can’t even have imported them from BAM?

While it’s probably unlikely, you never know what may happen for us: Indigo could get some stock down the line that BAM couldn’t sell

Stranger things have occurred

Ah Terror of the Zygons! One of the last fully complete Classic Who stories to see a DVD release here in North America

TVO here in 🇨🇦 aired this quite a bit in the late 70s & into the 80s (only Talons of Weng Chiang was banned)

PBS stations that aired DW vary but Tom Baker’s run was quite popular

If the price for what scalpers/resellers are asking for WS tickets here in Toronto is anything to go by, Drake & Kendrick are going to be the few able to afford it

$5000 & that’s at 500-Level 😬

This upcoming @discotekmedia.bsky.social release is absolutely worth picking up if you’re a fan of gag dubs like Ghost Stories & Lupin the 3rd: Part II

I still laugh hysterically at some of the moments of this Funimation dub, but this one exchange might be my fav

I’m glad I purchased a lot of BF stuff before they readjusted the 🇨🇦 price to match the British pound

Very professional manga shelf setup Dave! Reminds me of the smaller indie comic shops around downtown Toronto like The Beguiling & Anime Xtreme that have manga lined & organized like this

@scottniswander.bsky.social Crimson Peak was shot in & around where I live in Toronto: in fact the ballroom scene was shot at the historic Casa Loma in my neighborhood, which has often appeared in film & tv like Scott Pilgrim

Seeing a preview Del Toro’s Frankenstein tomorrow & am excited!

Great choice on Mel Blanc!

I often say to folks who bring him up that you can tell which episodes of The Jetsons are from the 80s revival (other than the frequent digital ink-and-paint look) because his Mr. Spacely voice is a lot raspier. He still crushes it tho

While it’s unlikely at least right now I hope #SilentHill2Remake eventually finds its way into other platforms like Xbox.

I’m stuck on that platform with the HD Collection, which is a rather less than stellar way to experience this entry 😓
