this month we're talking about the first Scooby-Doo that isn't doo-doo

Henry Gilbert (Beloved Podcast Personality) @talkinghenry.bsky.social · 2d

A Pup Named Scooby-Doo was a turning point for the franchise & a key prelude to the US ‘90s TV animation boom. So grab a Scooby snack and listen early on the @talksimpsonspod.bsky.social Patreon as we start Halloween season with our chat on this classic show:

Rebecca Sugar is directing a Moomin feature film for Annapurna?! That sounds too good to be true, and yet WOW. After seeing Moomin merch all over Japan I was ready to read more of the original comics and watch the classic Japanese animation adaptations, now there’s an even better reason to do so

Hadn’t played Hades 2 since it first released in Early Access. The full version on Switch 2 is so good I played it for half of my ten hour flight until the power ran out on my system and I had to recharge it. Will it surpass Death Stranding 2 as my favorite game I played this year? Maybe!

Here’s some more pics from Toei Kyoto of the section dedicated to Kamen Rider and Sentai shows:

Also in Kyoto we headed to the original Nintendo offices that are now a hotel. Only hotel guests are allowed in, but pictures of the outside are ok

Catching up on Kyoto photos as I battle jet lag. Went to the gorgeous Fushimi Inari Shrine on our last full day. 13 days of heavy walking into the trip we only had the stamina to make it up to the lovely halfway point viewing, but it felt like an accomplishment on that hot day. Next time!

Always a crummy feeling to return to America after a long vacation in Japan, but seeing the Customs area covered in recruitment propaganda for ICE took that disappointment to new lows

Here it is: the long awaited BLUESKY EDITION of the little promo I made for the AJ Goes to the Dog Park blu-ray. Eagle-eyed promo watchers might notice that it is 13 seconds shorter to fit the 1 minute limit. Unbearable sacrifices were made.

Only 37 copies left of the limited slipcover edition!

Hearing all about that new artificially created actor that's going to take over the insustry

Magazine clipping of Maxim Magazines hottest 100 babes or something article where the completely computer generated Aki Ross got a render in a bikini as a way of promoting Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

"Why should Hollywood be concerned about an impending actors strike when such completely computer generated stars as Aki render flesh and blood thespians - not to mention their agents - downright obsolete?
Heat factor: Aki makes her debut this summer in the animated feature Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, based on the long running video game franchise"

More Japan pics: Yesterday we went to Toei Kyoto Studio Park. A five-decades old filming location for tons of Japanese movies and TV shows, including lots of Sentai/Kamen Ridet. It’s also home to a life size Evangelion Unit 1!
