Roger Rabbit was released in 1988 and took place in 1947, 41 years earlier. If a Roger Rabbit movie was released today and followed a similar historical pattern it would take place in the β€˜80s.

The double splitscreen shot from 1:13-1:42 is one of the most insane shots created during the photochemical era.

You’ve got a real woman fondling Maroon and Valiant at both ends of the shot, with the woman’s body hidden by splitscreens that run along the edges of the fluted columns in the BG…

He moved on to video games. Which could be implied in Toy Story 2 with the Buzz game that Rex gets obsessed with. I remember the β€œbig thing” on my Xmas list switching from a Transformer to video games over the years.

A GameStop I went to yesterday had 4 out of the 5 Aerialbots which was kinda cool to see. They literally each had a different price tho, including the 3 deluxes 🀣 They also had SS86 Scavenger at yet another deluxe price, $24.99. Still not bad for a GameStop which I haven’t been in 1 in about a year?

That’s how the version on Prime was anyway. I tracked down the broadcast version you guys used and yeah, definitely a highway back there! Just funny that’s a detail you pointed out but it’s only on the 4:3 version!

Just caught up with this ep & it inspired me to watch the movie for the 1st time! (β€˜Tis the season!) Interesting tidbit, you mention the last scene with the highway in the background. Well this must’ve been filmed β€œopen matte”, in the widescreen version there is no highway! No ground! Just blue sky!

Bang Bus sounds like a niche Transformers thing.

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Getting the blue in there then trying to hide it in robot mode was very purposeful, thanks for noticing!
Merry Transformers Day to you! 😜

Wake me when Dave Franco gets announced for the Scrubs reboot (technically revival but I guess 'reboot' is the all encompassing buzzword that has to be used for these types of things).

Paul Reubens as Himself
Mixed media, 2025

Inspired by the documentary β€œPee-Wee as Himself” and my own lifelong admiration of Paul Reubens, the man behind Pee-Wee Herman.

This one of a kind tribute is headed to @toydejour.bsky.social for their β€œPaging Mr. Herman” group art show next month.

But is Alternators Sideswipe a Chosen One? Kind of! His torso opens, the Matrix can fit securely inside and is nicely displayed! But maybe he shouldn’t try to open it upside down… πŸ™ˆ

Arms & legs are components that attach at a single point, ok so assemble a full limb with everything that attaches to it, and then attach that to the body. Luckily they had sent along an additional assembled grey model to use as a go-by.
