Man, no shade on Anime Pasadena (I think the event was run wonderfully!), but seeing fan merch REALLY limited to whatever is popular right now is kind of a bummer. It's always been the trend, but I'm assuming the high cost of producing stuff is causing artists to only make what the know will sell.

Gee, it's almost like...making the same exact soulless "toy" for nearly two decades isn't a good idea. Not only that, but every time these guys did try to make something interesting, they completely buried it. www.dexerto.com/entertainmen...

Opened up my old email and decided to go through and deleted 10 years of promotional stuff. so many sites that I used to buy stuff from are totally gone now.

CONGRATS TO ZOHRAN MAMDANI! So happy my old neighborhood stepped up!

Smiling Friends and Haha, You Clowns went WILD this week.

The new McDonalds large.

We know you're still waiting! Hoping to have the next episode out in time for #IndieAnimationDay! Stay tuned for updates.

INDIE ANIMATION PLUG If you haven't checked out our series Failing Upward, we could really use some momentum leading into the next episode (which is currently being edited)! If you love stuff like Daria, Mission Hill, and Scott Pilgrim, you'll dig this show!

No couples costumes this year, just closet stuff. I did a very rushed Alan from Smiling Friends and my girlfriend put on some quick clown make up before we went to Yoi Toki's Halloween thing!

If any of my fellow indie animation fans want a fun Halloween watch, check out Emily Brundige's new short! Her and her team put their hearts and souls into this! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogZo...

Hello, we're the Smooling Fronds. FUCK! Happy Halloween!

Cool, now bring back MTV Animation and those bumpers. I want MTV to be weird again. Also, Happy Halloween!

Should I break an 8 year no-soda clause to try out Over Garden The Wall Green Apple Pepsi at Requiem cafe tomorrow? I would go back to no soda right after.

I love that even as I get older, I'm still discovering new movies I would've loved (and been terrified of) as a kid. Check out Paperhouse on Tubi, it's a great little YA horror film that doesn't get talked about enough. Definitely a precursor to Coraline. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOE0...

If you backed Starstruck, your physical perks are currently shipping to us! Check out these awesome keychains and stickers!

What's this 80 degree Halloween garbage all about? Come on, LA.

LOL someone took the worst possible photo of me behind my girlfriend at the Requiem OTGW event. I'm looking squinting and looking up from my phone.

I know everyone was bummed about Smiling Friends being a re-run this week, but Haha, You Clowns made me cry laughing. If you grew up watching 90s sitcoms, this show was tailor made for you. Also all the small mannerism details they do are incredible.

Every time I see college kids bragging about using Chat GPT to write essays, I think of that episode of Undeclared where Will Ferrell writes all of Jay Baruchel's essays.

Thank you to the Over The Garden Wall cast and crew for staying at Requiem for as long as you did! I can't even imagine how exhausted everyone was by the end!

Who could forget THIS classic Chucky line?

STARSTRUCK PRODUCTION UPDATE! Hey everyone! We wanted to take a second to show you some screenshot previews of the animatic! These were done by Destiny DeJames who NAILED the comedy! We've moving into editing and scoring next, so stay tuned!

Hey guys, with a new episode of Failing Upward coming out and Starstruck on it's way as well, we REALLY need your help in getting our stuff to more people! I hate asking for subs and followers, but those do help immensely. Retweet and like our stuff, as well! Fan art helps too!

My girlfriend and I have been going through the NOES flicks and we just wrapped on Dream Master last night. All I could think about was how I want Rick's cardigan. Peak fall aesthetic. Also the first half of this movie is ROUGH.

Heres's some small previews for Starstruck! We're workin' hard on this and it's coming out GREAT!

It is wild that Bluesky still doesn't have images in DMs yet. Every time I go to send something, I'm reminded of why I didn't send it sooner.

Something that's missing from the discourse around Tron: Ares is the lack of hype around movies. Disney dropped this in Hall H in 2009 and it hyped people up. We simply don't do long rollouts anymore and movies are suffering for it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1Ip...

From time to time I always think about how this kid did the Leeroy Jenkins bit almost 20 years before it actually happened. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bcmx...

OCTOBER SALE! 🎃🦇💀 Use code DISCOUNTWASDARK to get 30% off all size prints! I also have original pieces and soooo many stickers for sale! Discount ends November 1st! lopsideshop.bigcartel.com

The whole show is on Tubi btw! It's fascinating. It definitely feels like it opened the doors for Tales From The Crypt, even if the budgets here are dismal (SHOT ON VHS!). Every episode does a really good job at feeling like a hazy dream which does add some creepiness. Worth a Halloween watch!

I'm sorry, did anyone wanna tell me this was happening?!

Drew Struzan and D'Angelo in the same day is beyond fucked.

There's nothing that will ever make me laugh harder in a movie or show than hard cut outs on music.

So excited to edit this episode!

if the hardcore band looks like this you are going to die in the pit

Whoa, does anyone know if this is a new thing that's in beta on Youtube? Posting from two channels would be extremely helpful for an upcoming project I'm doing. I know you can do it on Insta, but this could be really cool on YT.

Still looking for work! Open to anything. Please DM me if you have any positions you need filled! I have experience in film/television production, but plenty of general office experience as well!

So excited to see Don Hertzfeldt's Animation Mixtape this Saturday! Been a big fan of his since I was in like, 10th grade. I remember a teacher at a writing camp I was at showing me Rejected and I was hooked. This will be my first time seeing anything of his in a theater!

I know next to nothing about Moomin outside of the designs, but my girlfriend, who is a big fan, thinks Sugar is pretty much the best outcome for an American take on the franchise.

Call 1-866-952-4456 to let Netflix know that you support queer and transgender programming and your subscription will vanish if they cower to bigoted morons like Musk.

Full disclosure, I'm a dude who's stuff can barely crack 10k and I'm all for celebrating other people's success. I've recommended KoG to nearly everyone I've talked to in the passed couple of days. That being said, are we REALLY going to gamify the indie space with stuff like this? 1/2

This one still goes hard, folks! If you loved Sinners earlier this year, this is 100% the precursor and I highly recommend you make it part of your spooky season line up! Billy Zane's best role, hands down.

After nearly 10 years removed from air, it looks like WNYU.org got rid of their old archives. Sad that my history as a DJ is pretty much gone. Maybe they'll return some day, but interviews I did with some of my musical heroes and indie acts are erased.

New Tame Impala song sounds like what I imagine Tim Heidecker thinks Haunted House plays in that one I Think You Should Leave sketch.

I'm gonna have a booth and panel at MomoCon in 2026! More info to come! So excited!

Ya'll should go watch Knights Of Guinevere! Not that you need me to tell you that, but definitely check it out! Dana and co. really put together a great pilot! www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCAd...
