You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
I feel like this is One Hit Wonderland at its best. A song everybody knows by heart, by an artist nobody knows anything else about, who happens to have had a long and varied career that's mostly gone under the radar.
Also, the "Shopping from A to Z" song was hilarious.
(Aside: Is it even possible to use YouTube anymore without hiring an agent or joining a network? It seems like things get flagged for absolutely no reason these days, and unless you have counsel, you have no recourse except to wait out the appeal process or post elsewhere.)
I never did like "Mickey", like at all, but Toni Basil did it so well that I didn't mind my family loving it whenever it came on.... but I like it much more than what it was covering. And what the follow-up hit was, which was darn near intolerable.
I liked that Toni Basil's career boils down to her having a long successful career in showbusiness with Mickey just being one odd thing she did on the side in the eigthies.

Yeah she feels like someone for me to look into, at least to see all that she's done.

last night i had a dream that Kyle Kallgren reviewed a fictional very bad anime and it kinda turned into rambling about him escaping the church of scientology

it was a weird dream
Maybe you had a prophetic dream about Romeo X Juliet
I wish there were more adaptations of Cymbeline or Troilus & Cressida for him to discuss, though. Coriolanus and Titus Andronicus were really interesting, and more lesser-known Shakespeares are worth considering.

Sometimes comic books put one or two words in every speech bubble in bold text.
Linkara dislikes this.
I don't blame Linkara for disliking this.
I do, however, blame him for making a point to emphasize every bolded word when he reads aloud.
Yes, I get that you dislike that stylistic convention. You don't have to draw attention to it, just read the text like a normal human being would, dammit.
I thought about this as I was watching Super Bunnhop's (mostly negative) roundtable review of the AVGN movie and it just felt weird engaging with it like they did
Because I don't think I could ever dislike that movie just because James is such an infectiously passionate filmmaker and his love of it is palpable in everything he does
And honestly being a better businessman is why I find this sad, because James is a very talented and passionate filmmaker and I wish that held more weight than it did
really really really really good SEO and networking, on top of an LP'ing style that is broadly popular with a variety of demographics and not super exclusionary to any particular one (except of course hardcore gamers, who here, as elsewhere in life, do not matter nearly as much as they think they do).
Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great LPer, Pewdiepie has a new video on youtube tonight. Go and see it. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pewdiepie.”

Just don't be basic as hell and pick Gnomeo and Juliet OR Romeo X Juliet

You ain't got a good Mercutio you ain't got NOTHING
It does register as kind of "wrong" to me, however, that he's become, like, this massive institution while the AVGN has faded into relative obscurity

Idk it just makes me sad

It just sucks that a lot of their fans don't realize what their success was built on
