S11E15 – Old Tricks, New Dog
Keyframe 28 – A Certain Scientific Magical Girl
First, the cartoon that is referred to in this episode is actually “Gerald McBoing-Boing” and not “Jeremy McBoing-Boing”.

Our Film of the Week is Guillermo Del Toro’s sumptuous […]

Cinema Eclectica 40 – Tsukamoto, The Messed Up Sweetheart
