Batman: The Animated Series is probably one of the best examples of the fact that if you don't talk down to your young audience and instead give them cool adventures and themes to chew on, they'll remember your show forever.

One of my favorite things about Mothra is that it isn't a movie about a "nice" creature. The monster is nature's furious lesson - mankind can try to control nature and monetize it and ruin it, but nature will inevitably win. In its grander scheme, we are powerless.

Whilst Stanley Kubrick's ‘The Shining’ and Jim Henson’s ‘The Muppet Show’ were filming next door to each other at Elstree Studios, Danny Lloyd got to visit and hang with Kermit in 1979.

I wrote about why this scene from Baby Doll is uniquely suited for animation and how it would not be as emotionally impactful in any other medium and you can read about it in my Batman the Animated Series Zine urbane-turtle.gumroad.com/l/btaszine

"Now, on Fox Kids, it's Eek! The Cat. And after that, a former child star grapples with a physical condition that keeps her from ever growing up and forces her into a state of psychosis that shatters her ability to process reality. And then, Bobby's World!"

Some guy: God, Tony Soprano is so cool. I wish I could be like him.
Me, thinking about eating Italian deli sandwiches with my friends: Yeah, same.

One of my favorite tie-ins to the 60's Batman series was the set of trading cards painted by Mars Attacks artist Norman Saunders. They're all masterpieces.

Look, people can argue all day about whether or not you should count recent developments as a "win" or as "progress" but this is the first time that multiple prominent figures in this administration have admitted that things are not going well. Until now, it's been all bluster and bravado.

There's a reason why "famous writer schedules" tend to recycle the same twelve routines. Because 99% of the time, being able to do this requires SO much support from a partner (or even a parent.) And it breaks the escapism when you say stuff like "Abruptly stopped my sentence to take kid to school."

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

When people accuse The Sopranos of being a wish-fulfillment fantasy, I assume they're not taking about the criminal stuff and all the sex and murder, but rather that Tony gets to eat a lot of pasta on a boat that one time

love to put something together and then reread it to make sure, and then editorial points to a sentence and it's a big case of "What would you say.......... happened here?" and you feel like you've been wandering the streets in an open hospital gown.
