When asked what animation style DiC would be using for their Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon, they presumably said "all of them".

On this week's SUPER MARIO MOMENT, we discuss the strange fever dream that was the day Milli Vanilli visited the Mushroom Kingdom:

Walloping Websnappers #206 Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Season 3, Episode 8 "Mission: Save the Guardstar" Episode image features Iceman, Firestar, and Spider-Man each from the torso up. Iceman and Spider-Man each have an arm on Firestar's shoulders. You can't tell from the image, but they're stuck to the side of a rocket ship and surrounded by a dome of ice to protect them from the vacuum of space.

We say farewell to Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends… and hello to Iceman’s sister, Lightwave! The Spider-Friends get swept up in a SHIELD plot with aggressive brainwashing, a defense satellite, and a very serious Bobby Drake.

My sleep schedule is so fucked at the moment.

It's time to celebrate Halloween in the summer with Gravity Falls and the episode "Summerween."

Save your candy corn tears for someone who will appreciate them!
Also, we talk a lot about Joni Mitchell for some reason?

We wanted something cute and cozy with a hearty helping of fantasy this month, so we read 'How to Lose a Goblin in Ten Days' by Jessie Sylva, a 2026 fantasy romance about a halfling and goblin forced to share a cottage... and a bed!? 🌺🍄⚔️

The dude needs to shut up.

And preferably stop being in a position of influence at all.

Shoutout to @derekbgayle.bsky.social who usually receives the worst raw version of my reactions to these shitty Pixar moments and gets my head screwed back on right <3

I think that’s definitely a piece of it. And I think that apparent unwillingness or inability to do that interrogation means that Docter will never allow himself to understand that when he talks about “universal stories” and considers “the audience”, he’s only considering cishet white ones.

I know that corporations don’t care about us, and I operate that way without issue 99.9% of the time. But there’s this little kid version of me that idolized the place who gets hurt every time Pixar does this shit.

Maybe it’s good they haven’t killed that kid yet, but they’re trying their hardest.

Oh yeah, he’s been very clear going back at least a couple movies (and a TV show) that this is their reason. It’s tremendously shitty.

"I thought Earth was the problem. What if it's me?"

This is a devastating line to include in the movie when you learn that according to executives, the character of Elio was too queer-coded. His interests? How he expressed? Who Elio was? Pixar said "No, you're right, kiddo. You were the problem."

This obviously isn’t just about Pete Docter—the impact of the decisions he represents and the words he uses to justify them make Pixar a worse studio and do real damage to marginalized creators and audiences—but I’ve spent a lot of time talking about the guy, so that interpretation really struck me.

It’s also worth noting that Monsters was initially a much more personal-to-Docter film about conquering fears, and he scrapped it in favor of a buddy film.

I just think that’s an interesting bit of lore considering the conversation. Anyway…

I didn’t used to buy that. Up too effectively explores loss as a way to hold yourself back and the dehumanization of elderly folks to be purely built on, “Wouldn’t Carl be a funny protagonist?”

It doesn’t make the movie less effective, but maybe I do believe him now. The dude’s just not that deep.

But Docter’s movies all sort of come from a place of not knowing and remain at a distance outside himself regardless of how emotionally resonant the movies become.

Up didn’t start from a place of coping with loss or anxiety about aging. He and Bob Peterson thought a cranky old man would be funny.
