I’ve been bedridden pretty much all day, which sucks, but I still wanna take a second to wish some of the most important people in my life a happy International Women’s Day!

Scream is like pizza, even the worst slice is still exactly what it is. I enjoyed #Scream7 just enough because of how much I love Scream, but it just wasn't good enough to justify all the behind the scenes nonsense that led us here.
So, I don't do star ratings anymore, but back when I did, #TheBride would have been a classic 4.5/5! I commend the fuck out of writer and director Maggie Gyllenhaal for her unwavering commitment to throwing caution to the wind, which extends to the cast.
I knew I was going to love #Hoppers based on what I've heard from early reactions, but I wasn't prepared for how much I'd fall head over heels for it! With its strong environmental advocacy, it makes me wonder what Ted Turner thought of the movie. See it!
Bart Layton is back after 8 years with his new directorial effort #Crime101! I went into this movie without any real expectations, and came out pleasantly surprised. It has a great cast, led by Chris Hemsworth and one of Halle Berry's best performances.
And this is why it's openly okay to condemn and ridicule bad animation fans, because when you turn to harassing creators and making them never want to touch their creation again, then you aren't a fan, you are a shitty weird parasocial brat who doesn't deserve to participate in anything.
And just to add insult to injury, apparently this has been in development since the mid-2000's.
Don't believe the anti-hype of the film's 0% approval rating on the tomatometer, Psycho Killer is neither good enough to amass a cult following, nor bad enough that the studio needed to hold the review embargo until AFTER it opened to the public.
I am apparently diving head-first into shark-infested waters by sharing this review for #WutheringHeights, a movie that will inevitably piss off everyone for a variety of reasons. Despite my initial kicking and screaming, I did end up enjoying it!
Sony Pictures Animation has another hit on their hands with #GOAT! While the story itself follows the sports movie playbook to a tee, everything around it is top shelf, from the voice acting, to the animation, and a phenomenal soundtrack! Recommended!
Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die might just be the most important movie of the year? I know that sounds hyperbolic, but if you're a fan of Gore Verbinksi and have missed his authorial voice on the big screen, then I'd advise you to seek this out ASAP!
Let me hear your Muppet hot takes, but with some ground rules:
1. No mention of Kermit, because that topic's been beaten to death.
2. Try to keep it positive, if possible.
Now, what do you got for me?
In this episode, we talk about the last of the Oscar-nominated animated features, and then we dive into the current state of indie animation and we also link a few indie pilots more folks should check out.
Enjoy a brand new episode of Renegade Animation! This time, @camseyeview.biz, @crazylemur.bsky.social, and I finally get to talk about Arco, while addressing the current state of Indie Animation! Look in the description for our personal Indie pilot recommendations!
So here's the thing: The Muppet Show special was great, exactly what Disney needed to do since 2011. But I gotta be honest, The Muppets Mayhem might actually be my favorite Muppet Studios production. It just feels like it was made specifically for me, and it helps that the music is amazing as well!
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, you're not allowed to hate The Muppets! If it's not your cup of tea, it's not your cup of tea. You don't even have to love every single Muppet production.
We need the Muppets, and we need them to be as ubiquitous as they were in the 70's again!
I love the Muppets, you love the Muppets, everyone loves the Muppets! I genuinely hope that #TheMuppetShow special emboldens Disney to give them another shot, because it was a fantastic showcase of what made the original series so special. Sabrina Carpenter was a perfect guest!
Tonight I will finish #WonderMan, picking up at episode 6, which probably has my favorite scene between Simon and Trevor so far! Anyone who's calling this series "boring" just because there's no superhero action is honestly watching this for the wrong reason.
Time to shine a spotlight on some pilots!
I had an absolute blast with #SendHelp! Sam Raimi puts Misery and Castaway in a blender, while Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien make excellent scene partners. It's violent and bloody, but also incredibly silly, par for the course in a Sam Raimi joint.
I consider it tied with All You Need is Kill.
Iron Lung is a solid feature film directorial debut from Markiplier! He impressed me with his dramatic acting chops, and while it does overstay its welcome, it mostly succeeds as a contained thriller. A comfortable recommendation!
#WonderMan episode 4 might just be the best episode of television I've seen in a very long time. The story of DeMarr "Doorman" Davis is both funny and tragic, and it explains enough of why the Department of Damage Control is after Simon Williams. Incredible stuff!
I'm only 3 episodes into #WonderMan, wasn't able to binge the full series tonight. Nevertheless, I'm enjoying the show so far! I don't really care how closely it ties to the rest of the MCU, because what's pulling me in is the acting, and the character writing. It's just good TV!
Enjoy a brand new episode of Renegade Animation! This time, @camseyeview.biz, @crazylemur.bsky.social, and I share our thoughts on Fureru, and All You Need is Kill!
January has been a much better month for animation than last year, and here is another example of that. #CosmicPrincessKaguya is a delightful animated musical fantasy with great original songs that successfully updates an old Japanese prose. See it ASAP!
Fair point. Like I said, my entry into the fandom was the 2002 series, so I’m not quite as familiar with some of the older lore.
I think I share your "mixed" optimism, but having grown up watching the 2002 animated series first, what I like is how much they're taking the mythology seriously, while still having a sense of humor.
The earth stuff we really didn't need though.
