    June, 2026--What Did You Buy This Month: Animated DVD/Blu-Ray/4K

    Amazon had The Day the Earth Blew Up for $10 around Prime Day, which I decided to finally hit up.

    June, 2026--What Did You Buy This Month: Live-Action DVD/Blu-Ray/4K

    I haven’t been buying much latelt, but I recently picked up Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean and got a cheap copy of ER season 2 to replace my shaky set.

    "Nick Knacks (the history of Nickelodeon)" talkback thread

    Right, it really does vary in the states. Often by states or county, sometimes it even fluctuates in the county. My elementary school had sixth grade, but the middle school I went to, which had an elementary school next to it, had sixth grade, but largely kept those students segregated from the...

    "Nick Knacks (the history of Nickelodeon)" talkback thread

    We’ve officially hit the Nicktoons, and Gregifer made an excellent video as always. Doug was my favorite Nicktoon for the longest time, but it’s not a show I have a whole lot of use for nowadays. It’s really meant for people Doug’s age and not much older, but at the same time, I think it works...

    "Gargoyles (Dynamite Comics)" News and Discussion (Spoilers)

    I’ll admit that I’m a little fuzzy off the top of my head, but we did have a holiday special and rang into the new year, so I believe that we are in 97 now, and the previous two runs were set in 96. It’s Greg Weisman and he’s no stranger to time jumps- look at Young Justice, after all- so I...

    "Gargoyles (Dynamite Comics)" News and Discussion (Spoilers)

    From what I understand, this new series is basically going to be season 5 of Gargoyles in print form, the way the 2006 run was season 3 and 2022 was season 4. It seems like Weisman likes taking his time between “seasons” to make miniseries expanding on the spin-off ideas he has, like Bad Guys...

    The Weekend Box-Office Ongoing Discussion Thread

    Obsession did quite well for itself, as it only cost around a million to make. It also has strong word of mouth, so I can see it blow up. I haven’t had the time to go to the movies lately. I was hoping to catch Hokum first, but the few theaters near me that still have it are already relegating...

    The Weekend Box-Office Ongoing Discussion Thread

    Mother’s Day was our busiest day of the year so far, a big part of which was thanks to Devil Wears Prada. MKII did very little for us, Sheep Detectives was actually a bigger deal, but we’ve always skewed family-oriented at our theater.

    The Weekend Box-Office Ongoing Discussion Thread

    This is the first week we had overtime approved since the holidays. Each movie you mentioned is still doing big business for us, even Hail Mary is still getting big screenings. It’s worth noting that we didn’t even pick up Hokum. Probably for the best as I’ve mentioned before that horror is hit...

    The Hollywood Reporter on 2014 being the last year of the monoculture

    2014 seems like a reasonable stopping point, but I think another good year to consider is 2019- this is when the last season of Game of Thrones, Avengers: Endgame and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker were all released. All three franchises haven’t stopped and in many ways are still successful...

    Unconventional or unpopular opinions you have (re: animation)

    So I tend to rewatch the first Space Jam and Back in Action every few years or so, and I’ll concede that as the years go by, I find myself disliking Space Jam a little less. I still have problems with it, most notably I do agree with the take that Bugs Bunny shouldn’t need to enlist the help of...

    April, 2026--What Did You Buy This Month: Live-Action DVD/Blu-Ray/4K

    Last week I found a cheap copy of Dangerous When Wet. Yes, the MGM musical where Esther Williams swims with Tom and Jerry.

    April, 2026--What Did You Buy This Month: Animated DVD/Blu-Ray/4K

    Looney Tunes Collector’s Choice Vol 2 just came in the mail. I normally wait a little bit to order these releases, but I couldn’t wait, there’s a couple of shorts whose restorations I wanted to see.
