This was the Rabbit Ears video series in case anyone wants to see this. Fortunately someone uploaded a bunch to youtube. These were classic stories drawn in all kinds of different art styles and they were narrated by a different actor on each story/VHS. I recall having a few of these as a kid.

Rabbit Ears Entertainment

Once Upon A Time, a digital media company called Rabbit Ears was acquired by Vanguard Films.

I think he had his own show after that I forget the name. I recall hearing his name for years in like the 2010s for doing this autobiography for Dietrich Bonehoffer. I think he was a part of the Rabbit Ears VHS series and he the narrator for the Esther ep of Veggietales. /2

...wait, WHAT?!
They tried giving Eric Metaxes a talk show?! That's kind of surreal to hear. I mainly know this dude from this website Breakpoint/The Colson Center. He was a commentator on there for a long while I think up until like 2018. 🤔 /1

I'm curious about that to.
I emailed Innersloth about a month ago to ask them what's going on and the person in customer support said they didn't have any info updates at the time. 🤷‍♂️

um i just got some info about her from a few places today and you might want to have a look at her again. it feels like some kind of monkey's paw corrupted wish.

i think she's supportive of Trump and other stuff.

just thought I should let you know: www.commondreams.org/opinion/peac...

As Venezuelan-American, I know exactly what Machado represents: the smiling face of Washington’s regime-change machine, the polished spokesperson for sanctions, privatization, and foreign intervention...

I hope you get your Hackers x Tron wish someday. and that someone on the inside in the Corpo-cocktail circuit or wherever tells the right execs to go Abba style and take a chance on you.

Thank you for the reminder here and in your review.
I keep meaning to watch that movie. 😅

AgentJ @agentjfox.bsky.social · 1d

I'm not sure if she'd be my pick, but just I was just trying to think like an exec and going with a quick list of familiar faces and people that are already internal and all that🤔. /3

AgentJ @agentjfox.bsky.social · 1d

side question, since movie companies probably like to consider people they already have a good working relationship with and all, do you think maybe Disney/Marvel would consider her or push her internally as a suggestion for Storm post Secret Wars reboot. /2

AgentJ @agentjfox.bsky.social · 1d

Maybe🤔, I think i'd be curious if she was the Dark Tron equivalent breaking free and Leto was the second in command turned pursuer. (i looked @ her IMDB, I forgot i first saw her in Queen & Slim and then in Acoylte👀😮) 1/

I keep meaning to watch that show.
I think i watched the first episode and liked it. Planned to get back to it, but forgot. 😅

Best analysis of Tron: Ares I've seen, and its from my comment section.

A comment from Jessie's review of Tron: Ares - "TRON is a movie about unionizing your workplace. TRON: Legacy is movie about the tools of fascism. TRON: Ares is a movie about... how hard it is to be tech billionaire running a Fortune 500 company, I guess."

From "A Tale of Two Kitties," this is clearly where "Animaniacs" got the hilarious "Give me the bird" joke from.

I would've loved it if they put up old Looney Tunes on YouTube when it was starting out. I originally liked YouTube and loved it becasue it had a lot of the old cartoons that i think i heard my parents talk about but never saw and old ones that i saw in collections on VHS when i was younger.

With all of it ending it a final fight with Bane and an exhausted Batman w/ his back broken. Was there not as much going on in part 2 with Azrel that has you a little worried about this not having as much to edit or something? /2

AgentJ @agentjfox.bsky.social · 1d

Is there not as much material in the part of the story w/ Azrel? When i first read the story in middle school, the first book felt kind of long to me. But it took place as a series of back to back nights or something with the worst things happening w/ Batman dealing w/ almost everyone in Arkham. /1

AgentJ @agentjfox.bsky.social · 1d

I've yet to read the part where Azrel takes over as that other version of Batman and wears the suit you show above. I think recall also really liking the suit as a kid. I still think it looks cool now even though as I think you and the original poster mentioned it's a little impractical. 😅🤷‍♂️/2

AgentJ @agentjfox.bsky.social · 1d

I remember i had one of the action figures for this version of Batman. I didn't get a chance to read Knightfall until several years later when my Dad gave me a copy of what I think is the first half. I recall it only goes up the part where Bane breaks Batman's back. /1

I'm glad I'm not the only one who was thinking the whole plagues thing😆. Do you think people will try to find other inflatable costumes to match the other plagues? (or is that even possible, I'm not sure all of them are a 1 to 1 match w/ this style of costume🤔🤷‍♂️)

seeing that quote set off my pattern recognition a little. if these companies can't ask for permission and compensate the people and groups they're using to train with their systems, their whole structure probably shouldn't be a thing /2

This kind of reminds me of this line from Spider-Man: Homecoming when Iron-Man takes Spider-Man's suit. And Spider-Man says, He's nothing without the suit.

"If you're nothing without the suit, then you shouldn't have it!"
