The color choices have a wonderful sort of anaglyph 3D quality to them.

So much of his work is on my walls or on my physical media shelves. RIP to a legendary artist.

I think it’d bring a bit of levity to these trying times if Conan O’Brien had Werner Herzog back on his podcast to talk about Labubus.

Working on Basher I hadn’t even considered being interviewed about it. Let alone on an actual baseball specific site. Definitely shows I am far more knowledgeable about baseball films than the actual game.
Give it a read and let me know your favorite baseball film.

The slapped together, stolen shots, rough editing, super hyphenated genre mashup, and all around vibe seems to help God Told Me To (1976). Maybe it’s how insane the plot is that makes it feel like it doesn’t lose steam.
