After forgetting last week, we pick back up with a truly bug nuts historical drama more people need to know, a pretty solid 90s family movie, Silly Symphonies ending on a fairly sweet note, and a great Porky/Sylvester pairing

Unironically, that's how teenage me was able to put a face to Tom Savini for the first time after hearing him get namedropped by James Rolfe a few times in the first few years he was doing Monster Madness videos

The next show up on Nick Knacks has been one of my most anticipated for years, so I'm fine with waiting just a bit longer

There's a reason after all "Get these beggars out of here" became a meme *while the movie was still in theaters*

As I get older, I find the hate this poor girl received to be so baffling honestly (at least she's still around occasionally releasing new singles and tending to have at least a new movie per year since 2021)

This week: an underrated early 2000s TV movie, a modern day preschool movie that's way better than I'd expect it to be, a pretty great Donald Duck short and one of the Larriva 11

This week: An "Oops All Rewatches" edition with one of the worst movies from my birth year, a zillennial classic I hadn't seen in full since roughly 2007, my favorite Goofy short, and Bob Clampett delivering one of numerous bangers in his last year at WB

Spawn: a half-star out of five
Night at the Museum: three and a half stars out of five
Hockey Homicide: five out of five stars
Kitty Kornered: five out of five stars

She literally had several same sex relationships before she got famous on top of being viewed as a queer icon for at least a good generation or two. Really was only a matter of time before there was official confirmation on her part

Not shocked that my favorite movie of all time has 14 logs currently (plus all of the times I watched it before I joined LB in the last few months of 2016)

Sammy Ratner @sammymr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Honestly, as someone whose favorite animated canon movie *is* Aladdin, I totally get why that particular aspect is a hard sell to people close to three and a half decades later

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.

SpongeBob is so old that a person could watch both Blue's Clues and Rugrats before the show's regular Saturday morning timeslot

Sammy Ratner @sammymr.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

This week: the best Melville I've watched so far, a 90s animaton masterpiece I finally came around on, a great Chuck Jones-directed Bugs Bunny short and my favorite post-Walt thing starring Mickey Mouse

Sammy Ratner @sammymr.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Honestly, with the year she's been having, it makes me extra glad that the Hathaway hate train of the early 2010s is no longer a thing

It's even wilder in Redford's case since, between filming his cameo and Endgame actually being released to theaters, he wound up retiring from acting

001

Sammy Ratner @sammymr.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

This week: Melville's first crime thriller, my favorite Ghibli movie, a pretty entertaining Bugs/Sam short and the most recent Wes Anderson to have a Criterion release

Sammy Ratner @sammymr.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Considering how long I've been anticipating this one, hell yeah I'm down for a two hour at minimum Rugrats video

Sammy Ratner @sammymr.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

As a grown ass adult who watched this one for the first time earlier in the year, it honestly does hit the sweet spot as a 2000s kid who grew up (and still lives) in a beach town

It's funny, it's a movie I only initially watched cause of the VA cast attached (hi there Liz Gillies and Stephanie Beatriz) but nah, it's legit the best Catwoman movie by a long shot

Been rewatching his movies lately along with their respective making-of docs and Wes does absolutely have the vibe of where if he were to publicly say he was autistic, it wouldn't come across as a huge shock TBH
