Realistic Chipmunks


New episode of Saturday Morning Deathgrip available here.

We watched a Christmas episode of Alvin & the Chipmunks, so I decided to add to my growing collection "realistic takes on cartoon characters" (Like Denver the Last Dinosaur and Care Bears)

These are fun.  Also the character designs from the Chipmunks movies are not that great to me. They live in that weird world of cartoonish animals along side of real human actors, it's usually horrifying. Take a look at any of these examples (chances are, you never actually saw those movies).

If you want to take a cartoon into the real world, just go all the way.

It's Christmas, Logan




A new episode of the podcast is up. We watched X-men from the 90s, which is a show I friggin love.

It was the Christmas episode, "Have Yourself a Morlock Little Christmas" and one of the recurring themes is the Scrooge-like grumpiness of Wolverine. There was also a Christmas tree that was as sad as Charlie Brown's. So the picture kinda suggested itself.
