Now is Tom Green’s Time
Do you remember Tom Green? That wild and wacky comedian from…I wanna say the 90s? I was never a big Tom Green guy, because I definitely wasn’t cool enough to watch MTV when I was a teen. But I was fully aware of him. Who wasn’t at the time?
Anyway, seemingly at random yesterday, I stumbled upon all the trailers for, like, three different Tom Green projects coming to Amazon Prime. You’d think one would be enough, but nope…three. Which actually kind of fits with his humor, I think.
There’s a new documentary: This is the Tom Green Documentary.
Then there’s a series based around the same facts as the documentary, called Tom Green Country.
And then he seems to be doing a new stand-up special about his life in the country, Tom Green: I Got a Mule!
So if you were a big Tom Green fan or were wondering whatever happened to him, you’re going to have more than enough viewing options over the next few weeks, it would seem. I might actually watch some of these. They look pretty fun.

It’s Grinch Season, Animated
Tell It Animated is back with a take on the Grinch, that classic Christmas rascal who is big into stealing Christmas. Simple as that.
Now do Santa Claus, you coward. All movie and TV appearances of Santa Claus ever! You have an entire year to get it done.
Anyway, another good episode from Tell It Animated; very seasonally themed. Good work all around.
This also gives me another opportunity to post this The Grinch Song Uncensored is BRUTAL by Wizards with Guns. This thing is hilarious and definitely not child-friendly, so be warned if you decide to watch.
Now that’s more like the holiday spirit we need right now!

6 Characters Who Are Ice Cream
As I relax in my apartment and look outside my window today, it’s started snowing for reals. This is the first day of real snowfall and even a little accumulation. It sucks. Nobody likes the snow. I don’t mind the cold when I’m inside, because I can just bundle up. But man, that snow.
And what better way to celebrate the beginning of winter than with ice cream!
Makes some kind of sense to me! Because otherwise, after more than a decade of doing Lists of Six every single week, I’m just running out of ideas, man! I did snow and ice-based comic book characters years ago! And I’ve done two different snowmen lists. I’m not a machine! But everybody loves ice cream…and yet there are surprisingly few ice cream-based fictional characters. Or, at least, they’re very hard to Google unless you know where to begin.
And we’ll begin right here! Join me after the jump for the tastiest pop culture characters who are ice cream in one way or another!
Read the rest of this entryHere’s that Sweet Mario Kart Parody Trailer from SNL
I don’t have much to share this Monday, with no new movie trailers or anything of that nature to talk about. So how about we just watch that sweet, gritty Mario Kart parody trailer from Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Does anybody still watch that show live on Saturday nights?
This is fun stuff. Great work by the graphics department at SNL, for sure. And Pedro Pascal kills it as gritty Mario. I’m loving The Last of Us on HBO, like everybody else. And this was a great parody for pull off for Pascal’s guest appearance on SNL. Obviously, this isn’t the first gritty, post-apocalyptic Mario re-imagining on the internet, but it’s fun when some actual work goes into it from a major media outlet.

Tell Venom Animated
Our boy at Tell It Animated is back with Venom! Between all the man Spider-Man cartoons over the years, and those couple of movie appearances, we have all the looks of Venom!
Tell It Animated has now opened itself up to Spider-Man villains, based on the end of the video. That should be a fun one. Again, Spider-Man has had like a dozen different cartoons over the past decade at least. So there’s lots of options. Doctor Octopus definitely has a bunch of different looks, especially considering his reappearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home in a couple weeks. So he gets my vote.
And, as always, I recommend Robin! You’ve already got the Batman episode, and Joker, so definitely Robin. There are the original black and white serials, the 1960s show, Batman Forever, Batman and Robin, then all the different animated versions of Robin. Plenty of options! Especially if you go for different Robins under the mask.
