Man Chappelle’s last show was better than the last two he had on Netflix. Some stuff he said I’ve been saying to my friends for years

Maybe it’s just me but it seems like this was a plan. Every special references sumtin from the last special. It’s this weird trilogy that I’ve never seen in comedy before. Like you can watch this and be fine but to get some of the references and why he talks the way he does about trans specifically relates to the past two specials.

I didnt even know that they were doing a Carmen San Diego show until they were hit with the controversy, lmao

That’s really unfortunate. I really hope these guys aren’t that surprised that animation and animators are treated this way if only because we’ve known about this kind of stuff for years now.

That Carmen show is pretty good by the way.

A friend of mine knew someone who drew backgrounds for Jackie Chan Adventures. Almost all of the animation was done in Mexico. She said he and most the staff were always worried about the animation studio getting raided due to constant labor violations, OSHA violations and brining in animators from other counties illegally to work on the show. Many of which went unpaid or were paid very little

Yea thats all extremely normal. Animation of this type has never and will never have the respect it properly deserves. Even Disney doesn’t give a shit about this type of animation anymore with only a scant few shows actually using it.

So yea this is unfortunate but also nothing new or surprising if you ask me. If you want to watch animation, cartoons, then you have to accept that it’s very likely been outsourced to a country with cheap labor and little over head. Has been that way for many years.

drawing frame by frame animation is one of the most time consuming hardest things to do…and to draw animation you need like 400 people.
watch the end of any The Simpsons episodes, credits roll, and just look at the long list of south koreans drawing that shit.

It’s why I appreciate most of adult swims cartoons and cartoons like Archer and South Park. They’re all made in-house at that networks studio

South Park been using computers for a long while.
They do everything once (out of construction paper), scan it into a computer, and let some software to the bulk of the heavy lifting.

Same thing with Archer, they reuse assets like if they were game sprites.

Bojack Horseman is ending with Season 6.
Annoyingly,it will be split into two halves.
First will come out October 25 and the second in January 31 2020.

More and more reasons to cancel Netflix…

Shout factory has been releasing all the seasons on DVD (I’m not sure about Blu-Ray). They will likely release a box set though after the fact.

Just watched Shadow of the Moon.
Im glad I didn’t watch the trailer.
This movie was really good IMO, caught my attention from the start to the end.
I would love to see more SciFi mystery movies with plot twits like this.

9/10

Just watched it off your rec; it was nice. I wouldn’t give it above an 8, but it was good and well worth the watch.

I’m wondering something random though. Does the fact that a movie is a “Netflix movie” hurt it at all going in to anyone? This is a recurring thought, but this movie brought it up again. I don’t know how my perception of the movie would have changed if this was something heavily marketed that I was able to watch in a movie theater.

But on the flip side, I don’t know if any of my recent faves would be faves if they just popped up in Netflix with a little fanfare one day. Would I have loved Get Out as much if it just dropped on Netflix, despite it looking like it belongs right on there? I’d like to say “quality is quality wherever”, but I don’t know; that’s why I’m curious what you guys think about this. Note that I’m talking movies, not TV or Documentaries.
