Voicing the childhood of generations
I think about Russi Taylor a lot. I know that’s a weird sentence to start a piece with, but it’s true.

It’sContinue reading “The Game of Jacob Marley”
“For Pete’s Sake”
I honestly have no idea where he comes up with these things some times. The snow was falling for the first time this season, a cold chill in the air, and the heat rising from my car as SiriusXm’s Holiday Traditions played some classics out of the radio (Yes, I’m one of those people listeningContinue reading ““For Pete’s Sake””
“Mining our nostalgia” OR “Disney, what is wrong with you?! Get on the ball!”
Maybe you’ve seen the following video making the rounds on the web this week, as Disney recreated the opening theme song to DuckTales using real ducks.
