Sketchy

This week, Sketchy covers the 2003 live-action film "American Splendor," based on the comic series of the same name by Harvey Pekar. Join Ryan and Matt and they discuss this film and the harsher realities of being a "nerd." That last sentence is cringe-worthy, but listen to the episode and you'll understand why Ryan had to write that.

Sketchy kicks off "Nerdvember" with "Star Trek: The Animated Series."

Sketchy salvages a truly lost episode by re-recording "Aaahh!!! Real Monsters" for October-Themed Halloween Month. Now that it's November, Matt, Richard and Ryan still can't let go of the magical holiday they so cherish. Anyway, this episode features a more abbreviated discussion on the cartoon, but there is an extended game segment. So, it evens out. Enjoy!

Even though it's November now, we're still not done with October-Themed Halloween Month. So, Sketchy keeps it goin' with the "Beetlejuice" animated series. Later there's a game, but we start the episode discussing the movie "Gravity," and it has nothing to do with anything. Enjoy!

In continuing with October-Themed Halloween Month, Matt and Ryan discuss the anime series "Soul Eater."

It's finally here! October-Themed Halloween Month. We kick off the celebration with the 2000 anime short film "Blood: The Last Vampire."

Bonjour, Sketchy Listeners. This week is Matt Newcomb's pick with "A Town Called Panic," a 2009 puppetoon feature based on the television series of the same name.
