I think the next episode airs August 3rd. So, a wait, but not as annoyingly long as the last one.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

A thread to discuss television and online animation.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
J.K. Simmons is a national treasure. He makes everything better.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So a while back I was talking to Scola and I was talking about how Adventure Time had become an incubator of talent and that I was loving Steven Universe (Rebecca Sugar) and Puppycat and Bee (Natasha Allegri).
And he said, "Have you seen Over The Garden Wall?"
And I furrowed my brow and said, "....Over the Hedge? That Dreamworks thing with Bruce Willis as a sassy raccoon?"
And Tom looked horrified. Obviously he wouldn't recommend something like that.
And when Hulu picked up a whole slate of Cartoon Network shows, I was happy to see Over the Garden Wall. And it was amazing. So dark and beautiful and strange and distinctive.
So I introduced it to JZ and Matilda. And after the last episode aired JZ burst into tears and said, "What have I done with my life that I'm not making beautiful projects like this with interesting people instead of what I do with my days?!"
Which is an endorsement. Because it is a strange little beautiful gem, with fantastic voice talent (Elijah Wood, John Cleese, Christopher Lloyd, Melanie Lynsky) and songs and a distinct sensibility.

Because obviously you could see what my face looked like as I described this thing to you over the phone.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Tom sounded horrified.
It was the quality of his long ellipsis.

I'm going to have to start writing reminders to myself on my arms.
