Highly recommend checking out ARCO: read my review for @moviejawn.com!
ARCO delights with a polished style reminiscent of ‘80s American sci-fi and fantasy animated series and a hopeful outlook for humanity’s future, writes Tessa Swehla @thebiparadox.bsky.social.

It’s become so much a part of my personal lexicon that whenever there is a book of instructions in any film, I have to suppress pointing at the screen and screaming “How I Did It!”
Why did I ever think I was neurotypical?

Honestly one of my favorite jokes in Young Frankenstein is the one about Victor Frankenstein leaving detailed instructions in a book entitled How I Did It.

I just saw a post where someone said not to read the Lore Olympus books because they are “so offensive towards Greek gods and mythology,” and I cannot stress enough how not real those characters are and how dead their creators are.

Agreed: men should have more sleepovers with their friends and watch Roger Moore duel Christopher Lee.
Now that I think about it. The key to Male Loneliness is just bringing back the James Bond Marathons on TBS.
Do a sleepover! Oh, you're 45? Who cares! You're wife will be estatic. Bring some Legos! Order Little Cesar's!
