Beavis and Butthead Do The Universe
Made-for-Paramount+ movie scores some good laughs. If Siri doesn’t understand “Beavis” or “Butthead” or “spanking the monkey,” then I don’t know what the VA would understand. I mean I’ve always wonder how hard it was for the people to pronounce… Read More ›

Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood

Human Resources
This workplace adult cartoon is almost as brilliant as its mama and papa series “Big Mouth.” From “Maude” and “The Jeffersons” being spun off from “All in the Family” to “The Cleveland Show” being taken from “Family Guy” to “Fraiser”… Read More ›
Turning Red
Pixar’s latest tackles puberty in adorable and mature ways. The reason why Meilin Lee looks cute and smells bad is because she’s been turned into a giant red panda, which gives off an odiferous smell to avoid predators. The reason… Read More ›
