CORRECTIONS/CLARIFICATIONS

  • 33:20-34:32 - Evan admits in retrospect that it might not actually be Shrek that changed the landscape of film, and that the strong shift in casting for animated children’s movies actually originated with Aladdin.

"Scoob!" Review Part 1:

Scoob!

6/9/2020 - What a golden, gilded age we live in, where with a few simple clicks we can gain access to the latest chapter in Scooby-Doo canon, lovingly rendered in the crispest of computer generated imagery! It’s a brave new world, and your fave two churls are here to share their thoughts (whether you want them to or not!).

A problem with Evan’s audio led to his recording being replete with ups and downs in an appropriate mirroring of what may or may not be one day deemed an animated “classic.” When things work out that way it’s easy to say that it’s not a (robot-baby-with-the-ability-to-transform-into-an-evil) bug, it’s a feature (film).

  • 10:12 - Thanks to the copyright provision of “fair use”, Luke’s pitch-perfect rendition of “Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely” by the Backstreet Boys can be used without paying a fee due to it being well below the 30 second cutoff.

  • 13:48 - Ketchup leather is also an actual real-life food product!

  • 28:26 - Therapist: “Post-Plastic-Surgery Simon Cowell isn’t real. He can’t hurt you.”
