Now you can turn on the adult swim marathon and catch jokes you missed on your first few hundred rewatches.

I've laughed at visual gags with the show running on a background window because I know the scene well enough. It had a lot of sleepless nights early on during covid furlough I swear I watched it entirely at least a dozen times in that few months. It is very burned into my brain now. Marathon at the same time every day is interesting as you see several of the same episodes usually as the time slowly slides the total runtime with ads is like 30 hours on there. You don't have to watch this many times to enjoy it but you can still find new stuff. I think I've run out of references I don't know and watching them to fully appreciate them. Actually I need to watch Barbarella and Labyrinth neither seemed like I was missing much. pixaal fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Dec 13, 2022 |

Looking forward to that movie that still might not be happening I've said it before in this thread but, BUY THE BOOK "Go Team Venture: The Art and Making of The Venture Bros." published by Dark Horse. quote:Ken Plume sits down with series creators Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer to have a conversation about the creation of every single episode through season 6 and much more. From the earliest sketches of Hank and Dean scribbled in a notebook to pitching the series to Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, learning the ins and outs of animation, character designs for each season, storyboards, painted backgrounds, and behind-the-scenes recollections of how the show came together--it's all here. It's a big ole thicc boi, and it's really in depth and just straight up fantastic.

It's just not as straight forward as it has been of go on Amazon and get it in the morning.

I have other DH books that went OOP and then got a reprint 5-10 years later. If that doesn't happen, I don't see this thing getting a 2nd printing otherwise though

I looked up his Wikipedia article to try and figure out why folks may dislike him - he's done work for Mystery Science Theatre 3000, so maybe he's friends with the kind of right-wing guy who's on there, he apparently donated money to a gofundme for a Trump supporter, (so maybe a "they go low, we go high" nonsense) and he married quickly after the death of his first wife. (Who apparently had an opiod addiction at time of death, and undiagnosed heart disease conflicting with a number of drugs she had taken at the time was apparently the cause of death, so maybe it's him being seen as not very supportive of his wife? He was part of publicising his first wife's posthumous book, maybe making money from that.)

Wyatt Mann) apparently go way back to the days when Bougas would have been selling white supremacist cartoons to Tom Metzger for publication in The Insurgent, including that "Happy Merchant" antisemitic caricature channer Nazis are so fond of.

I AM GRANDO posted:What right-wing guy is on Mystery Science Theater? Mike Nelson is a bit of a conservative, though he does not talk about his politics much. Its been a while since I've looked for it, but I remember it being more "Small Government" than "MAGA" type. I deeply hope it has not changed for the worse.

mike nelson is a christian social conservative but he's not like a xenophobe insurrectionist chud so he's fine. for what it's worth, mike nelson's alt-MST3K project, rifftrax, had some pretty yikes jokes back in the day about trans folks but when these things get pointed out they're quick to go back and edit out things that are more broadly accepted as offensive now than they were considered in 2008 or whenever. no foot dragging or grandstanding about free speech, they just remove the objectionable content and that's that, which is pretty good for white midwestern boomers. also the other main rifftrax guys, kevin murphy and bill corbett, are pretty loud and left online - iirc bill is in DSA

Man why do assholes often have to be talented at comedy, like the Ron Paul Campaign Ad video Lowtax did is one of the funniest pieces of political parody I've ever seen but it's tainted by being connected to him

His character always seemed like five seconds away from just going "Brock, please beat this self-righteous redheaded dweeb cop wannabe to death so I can get back to the beach and some primo girl-perving." My younger brother has a weird trait where whenever he's on his computer he's almost always got The Office playing on a second monitor, like on a loop, and the other day I saw that episode that has cameos from like 800 people including Mark Proksch and Beth Grant (?????) and was shocked beyond belief by an Urbaniak appearance.
