Phil Johnston calls it “a strange baby, but it’s ours.” Netflix’s 'The Twits' turns Roald Dahl’s nastiest tale into a dark, hilarious, and oddly heartfelt animated adventure. Check out our director interview and some beautiful-ugly BTS artwork.

Hey all! have you watched the trailer for #TheRoadToKuzcotopia yet?

I know it's not a LOT to gleam off of, but of what you've seen so far, how do you think the characters were handled? are they like you remember them?

Here's a look at the different stages of creating the #1bit title screen artwork for Switchboard Shuffle, my #FallingBlockJam entry. I am unable to draw the same face twice so I had to iterate to make sure the art was consistent with the operator's look.

#playdate #pixelart

6 steps showing how I made the title screen artwork : first is the draft I made on paper (colored in pink to make it easy to draw over), and last is the final version in 1 bit.

Bought the new Pynchon in hardcover today, at our local indie bookseller, fulfilling two promises to self. Read the first few pages while waiting for our lunch sandwiches to be toasted in a nearby patisserie, immediately getting that in-for-a-good-read feeling.

When most people complain "they can't do that in movies anymore" they're almost always talking about not being allowed to be racist or some shit.

When *I* complain about it, it's because no one would be brave enough to make an alien just smoke a cigar like it's a normal thing and not commented on.

Watched the original Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla tonight and I forgot that the aliens drink wine and smoke big fat cigars

I need to know what Bob Hoskins said to Princess Diana in front of Roger Rabbit at the London premiere of WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988).

Bob Hoskins meets Princess Diana as a full size Roger Rabbit costumed character stands next to them.

Random reminder:

We do discuss movies that either our hosts or our guests hate for various reasons, such as "this doesn't have any merits," or "why does THIS needs to be in live-action?".

And then there are movies we rather not bring up for special reasons. - Jay

I have my ticket ready for the 35mm screening of "Fuck My Son!" (yes that's the title) this Halloween. And I just learned today that Johnny Ryan, the author of the movie's source material comic book, is also the screenwriter of "The Day the Earth Blew Up". - Jay

I've always hated the "They must have been on drugs when they made this" response to any kind of weird or unusual art.

But there's a new phrase I hate more. "Where's the Sora watermark? This can't be real!"

It's the worst way to erase human creativity and weirdness.
