Unless they changed it in the past few years, most of the employees that work in Epcot are actually from whatever country they’re representing, too.

The episode contains my favorite gag in the whole series: the Land Rover stopping and Doc falling off the roof. My second is the Monarch vomiting all over the place while operating the DEATH'S HEAD PANOLPY, THE FINAL SOLUTION IN TAILORING.

I actually started my rewatch on season 3 so it's been a long time since I've seen Quymn, but at the time I really liked it for being an adventure-centric episode. I might feel a bit different now that I don't treasure those episodes as much, but I do adore it for showing Brock at a new low when training that orangutan. I just love the idea of this incredibly capable super secret agent finding his life at that sad, sad place. It's no wonder season 7 Brock is so checked out after all those high highs and very low lows.

Dr Quymn is also the first appearance in the show by the Blue Morpho.

I have a soft spot for season 1 but even then I think Brisby is kind of a slog to get through considering the plot is basically: Brisby asks Doc to clone him Doc says no Brisby knocks him out and takes him to a different room Brisby asks Doc to clone him Doc says no Brisby knocks him out and takes him to a different room Brock comes in and kills everybody It's a shame because I like Brisby's character design and it works really well with the limited animation of season 1

FBS posted:I'd much rather deal with a show produced in 4:3 doing occasional letterboxed scenes than encourage streaming services to gently caress with aspect ratios on their own it's a pretty easy problem to fix, though, and there's even  versions that do itbasically just go into premiere, put it in a 16:9 project, razor the letterboxed scene out, and then click-drag expand the letterboxed scene until it fills the 16:9 frame. then run content-aware scale on it so it doesn't look like poo poo, export, and voila, you now have a copy of the relevant episode where the letterboxed scene is full-frame widescreen and the rest of the episode is pillarboxed 4:3.

Don't know if this got posted here when it came out, but I'd completely missed this. Back in February, Doc Hammer did a 3 hour interview with Ken Plume and it's just a wonderful conversation. He explains pottery, what happened to make him a paraplegic, shirt club, and how he might have caused 9/11. A little season 8 development chat too, though obviously no real spoilers. https://www.patreon.com/posts/34319028

Not anywhere officially don't think, but Doc really goes into details in that podcast after initially just teasing it. I don't want to spoil it, as he's entertaining as hell to listen to, but it sounds like he's got just the right focused mindset to super-hero physical therapy.

Oh, and also his band WEEP also released an album of covers that's dope. Was surprised by the choices, including "25 to 6 to 4" and "Sugar Sugar", but it works. https://theweep.bandcamp.com/album/songs-nobody-wanted-us-to-cover?fbclid=IwAR3gbAOgLFsHTSHqUblQ7tGIFU_8F-8WQnODqNV4dABUcqAWAql7Tqyw0Bg

I actually tried to find his music a few weeks ago because I realized I'd never listened to it. I genuinely could not find it outside of a CD on Amazon. e: and of course the only song I even recognize on the cover album is the goofy comic book meta-fictional one from the 60s. No wonder I'm such a VB dweeb. feedmyleg fucked around with this message at 18:07 on May 12, 2020 |

Doc Hammer posted on his facebook that he is moving around really well these days, even snapped a picture of himself mowing. Just two days ago he posted a link to a new WEEP album of covers that is pretty great as well. Whoops, there it is linked up there. Another suggestion to check it out.

 what a dork.He said on that podcast that it's still extremely painful for him to walk, but that it's steadily gotten less and less painful over time. Hopefully it's at the point where he's able to manage it well.

Thanks to goons in this thread, I went to Discogs and took a gamble on the Aquagen CD. It came today, and it's actually the song from the episode! In decent quality! What a time to be alive. Am I allowed to upload it somewhere for people in this thread? I don't know if an out of print CD breaks piracy rules, but I've never been able to find this song online.

I mean, I feel like it's objectively okay but might be against forums rules. Hit up a mod to double-check, or just check to see if "someone else" has uploaded it to YouTube recently and embed their link.

Someone tried to make a Roger Dean photoshop thread in GBS not to long ago, it didn't go very far but this was my contribution that no one seem to get...  Some heathen said it should've been the house from UP but I knew a Venture Bros reference was the superior choice (even if no one else did)

It's pages ago by now, but thank you goons for recommending the new Duck Tales. Even more than nostalgia, it scratches a lot of the itches I'd otherwise depend on Venture Bros for.

My wife and I watched Harley Quinn. It feels like the guys behind ATHF or Sealab 2021 wrote 13 episodes of Batman fanfic. But, in a good way. I really liked it. And as was noted earlier in the thread, there is quite a bit of Venture vibe throughout, which makes sense in a universe with pro- and antagonists. Sure, there's some goofy stuff that's much more in line with the sillier AS shows. Harley's highway comes to mind. Everything stopping when Psycho said the c-word. But the relationship between the good guys and bad guys felt very familiar, and the way they practically lifted everything that makes the GCI fun and put it into the LOD? That was as sweet as iced cream.
