I wish this was a real show😭😭😭
Here are some lines from his villain song “Peep my name I’m magnificent! I put the I in omnipotent!” “I have this kingdom I built it up! And you still complain? Ungrateful much! “Mmm are you sure you’re not the prob’? I’d like to see you try to do my job!” Good lord this movie is terrible 😭
I can't believe you didn't make your background a picture of Kevin Bacon's insides
Well, I might be dull but I like it. Especially the “at all cost” song and it’s animation!
for those who dont know, the mother says that the op just watched static
Text in this thumbnail is SO good. Got me to listen because that's my favorite hyper specific genre.
Is the analysis of Shop: a pop opera done jet?
@@SisoyAlvemo not yet, should we check it out?
Where Diddy got the idea I suppose.
Underrated comment
Yeah, he had a really creepy stare in that movie.
It was a thousand yard nightmare
Second time Storm was the time ep 1
Mick is adorable. Also, I fundamentally disagree with Ben on this point.
I disagree with Ben on this point.
Sorry, I know everyone loves Giles but there’s no way Joyce is more entitled than him. He expects Buffy to risk her life every night and acts like she’s a spoiled brat when she wants to do something normal like have a date. He’s an older man asking her to keep secrets from her family which is a huge red flag. He asks Buffy to get him retroactive pay from the watchers council but never gets the same for Buffy. He tries to murder her alley and friend.
And Ted does have some behavior control with drugs in the cookies. Dawn resurrects Joyce with help from Willow and Spike, Buffy says she shouldn’t have done that but when she hears the knock at the door she suddenly gets excited her mom could be back.
Buffy is the best show ever made period
@@cedricdallaire3324 amen
I feel like The Zeppo is a great character study for Xander and Doppelgangland for Willow. Also your discussion of Joyce had me in stitches she's awful. Poor Buffy and no wonder Dawn was a brat at times.
@@marybonner7432 Glad to see we've got some fellow Joyce haters in the audience. These are great picks too! Who knows maybe we'll do a quintessential part 2 at some point
He's retired from acting, but keeps doing the Sonic movies
............ Did folks not understand Anne's Vampires? The movie was from their standpoint. Not the HUMAN view. They killed. Indiscriminately.
Yo this is ass
We don't care about Bruno 💀
Get ya freaky ahh on😂
Dude..😂you freaky asl😂
Sexy?? Bro chill😂
If you talk worlds, basically any untouched Eldar maiden world. Literal paradise. But the Eldar would not like it and if there are any such worlds left, good luck finding it. If you are wealthy by 40k standards, the imperium is pretty awesome. Anything grimdark will be kept from your view unless you are into that sort of thing. Any pleasure and appitite is available. The imperial truth neatly excludes the existence of Chaos, which is the whole reason of the setting. Emperor kept it hidden, it corrupted half his sons. Imperium decides to keep it hidden because trillions of humans would flip instantly because their existence is torture. Only a few factions know, they are less grim and dark than the rest because at least they know a semblence of actual truth.
Don't like the format change.
@@SeanNorthridge oh no! Sean don't leave us! Bear with us , you could learn to love it
Same.
Late 90s to 08 was peak then it started to soften and the tau was the start of it but in the first codex I'm next to certain that the etherals were a share of liars and shit "space communism" comes to mind

Real tricky SOB “son of beast”
My dad and I were just focused on how many times we got slap in the face references to other Disney movies. After watching, I honestly felt like I watched an ad for Disney😅
I let you live here for free and I don’t even charge you rent does not make any sense..Because why does this song have to involve Charging Rent Dues? Does King Magnifico Even know what he’s saying About letting them live here. FOR FREE without Rent. I’m like dude! Do you even have money? I know you may be a king but..Why do you have involve Money into this song?..I Swear Disney isn’t even trying Anymore..Just..What Happened?
Interesting!
Thanks for listening!
I always get a kick out of hearing 40k references in the wild
Factual. Madelyne got done dirty and Scott’s a tool
Catachan itself is so wild. Ther are only 5 known locations in which an establishment can be made there without the jungle pushing to remove it from existence. The planet even made the Nids ditch the planet cause it wasn't worth consuming. They tried, and they failed. Catachan is wild. How the jungle fighters aren't as capable as space marines, I'll never know.
I think when it comes the marines v jungle fighters debate , it's got to boil down to the fact that their skills are survival based for Catachanians and training / enhancement based for SMs , two completely different mind sets
@@Surelooksurelistenpodcast That's a fairly good point then. Sadly I'm not to knowledgeable on the full Warhammer lore, do you know of a chapter that uses Catachan as a base for recruitment? I'm surprised I haven't seen anything like that since its full of possible great recruits. Their survival skills coupled with marine training, I feel would be a force to be reckoned with.
wow...I've never been this baffled
It's pretty damn confusing, isn't it?
I love the song out of context it sounds like a misunderstood king who just wants a bit of respect 😢
I have an annual tradition of re-reading the Carnacki stories, so I have a bias, that'd be my favorite. Conan creator, Robert E,. Howard has 2, technically 3, of his own, Conrad and Kirowan (they are a duo), Steve Harrison, and the technical one being Solomon Kane. REH is by default my favorite author, so have to give the roses there. There's also Joe Golem in comics, and Sheila Crerar in in older magazines, she was more of the hands on, "I'll fight the ghost with my bare hands" type.
We're definitely going to have to do an episode on REH at some point, his contribution to pulp and pop culture overall is just so huge. I'll absolutely be checking out Joe Golem based on this rec and any woman who'll scrap with ghost is alright in my book. Cheers for the fantastic list
His personality probably holds him back. If Mystique had his powers she’d be exponentially more effective.
As much as I love animation.And I always look forward to seeing the new animations. Lately they're just not. Appealing anymore. Encanto was good Moana was good but They must really think their audience have low standards.Low quality low I q or something because these things have been awful. nothing else.

It's a red flag that Disneyland opened in July 1955. Now, i was born in 1955, and i ain't no 100 year old. Namaste

Yeah he only turned himself into a 7 foot tall guy with 3”2 foot wide biceps that just happens to look like the Juggernaut. He doesn’t actually become the Juggernaut.
"controversy?" Controversy implies conflict. Theres no conflict. No-one likes it.
I couldn’t believe just how shallow Anna’s interpretation of the garden of time was “it was about the preservation of beauty from the angry masses” no clearly it was the rich hoarding the wealth. Read high rise Anna 🤦♀️
Anna needs a basic literary theory course, right now. It's mad that she thinks that's the read 😭
No. Andy Warhol did.
We'll have to do a deep dive on that too so!

Morph can copy only physical abilities of others Like Mr. Fantastic stretching or the wings of angel or beast body, he can't just become jean Grey and have her telekinesis However there is other characters from comics like Copycat who can copy everything down to the mind set and memory's of another's just by being near them Or Nameless who can just do whatever the hell she wants only to be end up killing herself because shes too dam OP
