The Wabbit Who Came to Supper (1942)
Bugs Bunny fanatics had three full months to wait after Wabbit Twouble (1941), with nine other Warner cartoons – starring the likes of Porky, Daffy, Conrad the Cat, and sometimes no character…

My Bugs Bunny Project reaches its 10th installment and enters 1942 with an unusual cartoon from Friz Freleng and Michael Maltese.

I wrote a short essay on the pilot episode of TWIN PEAKS. It's a perfect episode of television. Almost everything that you need to understand about the series is shown in the first half hour.

There are four horror-themed Looney Tunes shorts making their Blu-ray debut on this new release. In my opinion, a couple of these are among the best-ever Sylvester the Cat cartoons.

Took a close look on Letterboxd at all the 51 Looney Tunes & Merrie Melodies to be included on the upcoming new 2026 Collector's Vault Vol 2 Blu-ray. I'm very excited about the wonderful Sylvester and Porky horror shorts Claws for Alarm and Jumpin' Jupiter being available on Blu at long last.

Legitimately, one of the most electrifying, charged filmed live performances of Gaga's career. It encapsulates so much of what she's been cultivating these last couple of decades, the jazz and piano, the Putting On A Show, the camp and theatre, rebellious rock n roll fantasy, all distilled in 52 min
