Good Evening , it’s Sunday, October 6, 2024, are you feeling spooky yet?

You ever see this? Disney’s “Silly Symphonies – The Skeleton Dance”? I’m absolutely obsessed with this stupid cartoon. I mean, this thing is from 1929. That means this was animated 36 years after motion pictures were invented.

For perspective: 36 years ago, Short Circuit came and out there hasn’t been a more realistic robot movie since. Maybe Chappie.

Here’s what we’ve got going on this week:
