Wait. They made Goosebumps into a TV series? When? I read the hell out of those books as a kid!

2024-08-07 17:06:01 +0000 UTCI’ll be the oddball who does not like Kevin Smith and never liked Kevin Smith. Every character sounds just like Kevin Smith talking to himself in a writer’s exercise and his direction is, well, plain. FITE ME

2024-08-07 03:59:03 +0000 UTCY'all should do Best In Show for a Watchcast, it has Don Davis so it fits the current theme! Make it the last and pivot from there to the Guestiverse.

2024-08-06 23:34:54 +0000 UTCI thought The Boy and The Heron was outsanding! I didn't expect it to beat Across The Spider-Verse for the Oscar, but was pleasantly surprised when it did.

2024-08-06 19:17:53 +0000 UTCVinny, have you and your kids watched Goosebumps or Are You Afraid of the Dark? The 22 minute pre-teen horror television shows I watched as a kid are a great way to see if your kids vibe with it without making a full movie length commitment. Spooky but not gorey, silly but sometimes genuinely disturbing.
