I recorded a 3.5hr-long conversation w/ Doc Hammer about candy. We talked A LOT about candy. It’s mostly about candy. Is there some #VentureBros talk in there, too? There sure is. But a heck of a lot more about candy. The man has very strong opinions. Available here: bit.ly/dochammercandy

Ichabod's flight from the Headless Horseman is one of the high water marks in Disney animation, from direction to sound design, it all comes together in an incredible mood...

I think this season is missing enough sincerity/enthusiasm anchors to balance out Richard and Matt's combined comic apathy and orneriness. They're doubling up what should have just been one of them on this season. Two of that comic energy is too much, so it all feels dissonant.

Rest-assured I am every bit as angry as everyone about everything and that every bit of nonsense you see from me is absolutely a trauma response to it all.

I actually do want one of those mug & lid/saucer combos (I still have childhood sense memories of their rough texture), but please consider that there was once a time that a "Saltine Saver" was a sincere product deemed worthy of a spotlight to potential consumers...

If you never thought you'd ever hear a group of Anything Muppets from SESAME STREET sing the Blood, Sweat & Tears song "Spinning Wheel", well, never say never... (Oh, and keep an eye on the puff of smoke, knowing that it's coordinated between a performer & a separate cued smoke mechanism)

There are fast food ads, and then there are FAST FOOD ADS... This is so ridiculously over the top that I can't help but appreciate its emotional-button-mashing bombast...

Here’s one of my favorite songs from FRAGGLE ROCK, which I also think perfectly encapsulates the message behind Jim Henson’s original concept for the show, & its hope to forge a better future for the world through those set to inherit it…

As someone who received death threats over an article about Farscape in 2000, I'd say the seeds were always there, and the coarse pop culture discourse and sense of entitlement that grew out of & festered on sites like AICN in the late 90s were patient zero for the online plague to come...

From SESAME STREET's second season, Grover & Cookie Monster whistle a happy tune (keep in mind these are both Frank Oz characters, with Grover being puppeteered by Frank and Cookie probably by Jim Henson - note the framing issues toward the end, where the audience sees just a bit too much below)...
