A Special Presentation, or Alf Will Not Be Seen Tonight

It's Thanksgiving, so we're breaking our own rule... or are we? The 1989 Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade is, of course, a cavalcade of disgusting American excess, whether you're here for the Garfield balloons, the marching band composed entirely of Ronald McDonalds, the prancing majorettes, or that weird float where skeletor is riding a dragon. Most importantly, though, ALF is here! Let's join Alf for a walk down memory lane if we can think to talk about anything beyond the commercials. Stay tuned afterwards for a really long rant about Winnie the Pooh.

What if Charlie Brown went to France? That's what this, the final early stage Peanuts theatrical feature film asks. Snoopy gets into typical Snoopy hijinks, but this special explores the limits of what you can do with the Peanuts formula with some nice atmospheric mystery creepiness. Snoopy loves a mystery!

If it's Halloween it must be Saw, er I mean Special Presentation! Six of our regular crew, including DMXI, Rocketshark, Fattyatomicmutant and Glumdrop have joined us for the spookiest... well, not really. The most Halloween-themed... OK honestly some of these are more HARVEST themed than Halloween. But join us if you will for The Pac-Man Halloween Special, Marc Summers' Magical Mystery Special, and Spookley The Square Pumpkin!

Frank Miller was a big deal, briefly, right after Sin City and 300, so they thought, heeeey, why not let him write and direct the big screen debut of Will Eisner's superhero comic strip The Spirit? Frank Miller brings his signature style and incomprehensible fashy sensibilities to this big of hot garbage. Never have you watched Samuel L Jackson and Scarlet Johansen embarrass themselves so!

Technically, we're cheating on this episode, but it's OUR show, so we can cheat if we want to: We both happened to see that new Transformers movie, Transformers One, so we thought we would talk about it. Ethan, a life-long Transformers fan and aficionado, and Mike, perpetual newbie, have big opinions on this film. In short: It's pretty darn good! If you like robots and sci fi, give it a shot!

So technically, this counts cuz the Addams Family was a comic! For legal reasons, they had to bury this episode of The New Scooby Doo Movies where Scooby Doo meets the Addams Family! Mike and Ethan have very different opinions on Scooby Doo, but first enjoy a prolonged conversation about MEAT.

We're back to our roots, watching Peanuts specials! God, there's so many of these. There's like a million of them. This week, we're looking at "You're the Greatest, Charlie Brown" and "You're a Good Sport, Charlie Brown" - two Peanuts specials about Charlie Brown being forced to participate in team sports that he hates! He actually wins, though. WHAAA!??
