Imagine hosting podcasts about cartoons and it actually pays your bills. That your only job is talking about animation and you're still so bitter about it. You're friends with so many people in the comedy world and you couldn't tell a joke to save your life. Some folks are just lucky, I guess.

We Take Wes for Granted

Watch me crash out over people complaining about Wes Anderson "just doing his typical Wes thing."

Wes Anderson surrounded with some of his characters and the text "je just makes the same movie" obscuring his eyes.

The fact Somerset was able to help interrogate the Greed victim's wife and deduce the painting clues afterwards is astounding constitution.

Following up from a conversation that happened on the latest episode of @popculturebasement.bsky.social if you were a criminal in Gotham: Who would you rather work for and why? Risks and rewards must be taken into account.

Well, at least you can say Rise Of Skywalker felt like a movie from the trailer and not a long episode of a TV show.

The guy who they believe killed Charlie Kirk is a 22 year old white Christian guy from Utah named Tyler Robinson. Reports say he's Mormon.

Will MAGA demand we round up all young white men? Will we have to make Mormonism illegal? Will the Christians be sent to camps?

It’s World Suicide Prevention Day
I never had a suicidal thought in my life until 3yrs ago when I started thinking about throwing myself in front of a bus.
I tried to ignore it & soon had a breakdown.
If you feel like this, please talk to your doctor to get professional help.
I should have.

I'm not the hugest fan either, but I'm glad they're being made. My take on them is they're exactly what the critics thought 80s slasher movies were.

In the midst of super natural horror run amok, "elevated" horror about trauma, and horror legacy sequels, Terrifier gave an original slasher villain that fans felt was a breath of fresh air. With enough lore and ambiguity to keep folks on pins and needles to see where this all ends up.
