Three, count ‘em Three (3), animation events hosted by yours truly, all within a week of each other and coming up soon. Please consider joining me and my cartoon pals at any or all of the following screenings in Hollywood, California:
Saturday April 21st: The first of my all-new series of monthly animation matinees at The Cinefamily on Fairfax. This inaugural show features a collection of the trippiest animation in cartoon history, as classic toon-dudes from Porky Pig to Popeye enter strange new worlds, see spaced-out sights, and smoke some seriously wacky weed (no joke — we are running the Andy Panda cartoon called Wacky Weed)! You won’t need any prescriptions to inhale these hallucinations — so just sit back, relax and let the sunshine in. Munchies will be on sale at the candy counter, but the good stuff will be on screen in rare film prints (some in psychedelic Technicolor, even.) Tune In, Turn On, Admit One! Showtime is 4:30pm. For more Info, click here!
Monday April 23rd: Yep, its that time of the month again, and boy am I cranky. A bunch of truly awful cartoons surrounded by an absolutely hilarious live comedy/music show with Frank Conniff, J. Elvis Weinstein (both of
MST3K) and Erica Doering. We call it
Cartoon Dump and perform it at the
Steve Allen Theater in Hollywood. Showtime is 8pm and tickets can be purchased
here. Check out the
new FaceBook page for more information and updates.
Thursday April 26th: Part of the
LA County Museum of Art film series celebrating the 100th Anniversary of Paramount Pictures is this one-night tribute to the studio’s animated legacy. At 7:30pm
South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut will screen – followed at 9pm by a tribute (curated by me, Jerry Beck) to
Paramount Cartoons where I will introduce a full program of 35mm archive prints – including Fleischer
Betty Boop, George Pal
Puppetoons, Famous’
Baby Huey, Gene Deitch
Munro and John Hubley’s
Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass Double Feature. The double bill with South Park is $10. There will also be a separate admission available ($5) for just the Paramount shorts at 9pm. Come!

Moodsy the Clinically Depressed Owl cannot be in Carton Dump this month because he’s in rehab for his auto-erotic-asfyxiation addiction. (In a very emotional group therapy session this morning he got all choked up.) So this Monday’s show will be guest-hosted by Andy Kindler and Dumpster Diver Dan with a sensational line-up of stand-up comedy guests mixed with the usual assortment of unbelievably awful cartoons.
Monday, September 26 at 8:00pm – Special guest host Andy Kindler, plus Melissa Viallasenor, Hugh Moore, an incredibly jet-lagged Jerry Beck, and special guest star Greg Proops!

ANIMATION TUESDAYS – Tuesday March 1st at 8pm
This month we welcome guest curators Mark Caballero and Seamus Walsh of Screen Novelties as they spotlight rare Rankin-Bass goodies from their collections, as well as highlight work from the studio’s unsung heroes: the Japanese animators who were responsible for much of their aesthetic. Capping off the evening is an incredibly rare screening of the studio’s first AniMagic feature Willy McBean and his Magic Machine (1965), which follows the rollicking adventures through time of a boy and his monkey pal. Join us as we pay much-due tribute to these godfathers of pop-culture!
At the Cinefamily @ The Silent Movie Theatre in Hollywood, the films start up at 8pm. Buy Tickets here.

Post tags: Animation Tuesdays, Cartoon Dump
On Monday I’ll be just back from Ottawa and hung over from a week of watching great animation. To get me back into the swing of things I’ll be hosting Cartoon Dump, my monthly live comedy and cartoons showcase, in Hollywood. We will have guest comedian Andy Kindler and its our annual Halloween party. There’s nothing spookier than Mighty Mr. Titan… except maybe Moodsy, the Clinically Depressed Owl, Compost Brite, and Dumpster Diver Dan.
Wanna know more about Cartoon Dump? Frank Conniff (Moodsy), Erica Doering (Compost) and I recently recorded an hour-long podcast for Epic Magazine’s This American Wife that explains what its all about.
Join us Monday (10/25) at 8 PM, for an evening of hilarious comedy, demented songs, and really, really crappy cartoons. It’s again at the Steve Allen Theater, 4773 Hollywood Blvd. (two blocks west of Vermont). Map here, see you there!
If you can’t find me in October, you aren’t trying hard enough. But before we discuss October, tonight Cartoon Dump (9/27) returns with it’s usual disreputable mix of sketches, songs, puppets, stand up comedy and the absolute worst cartoons ever made. Join Frank Conniff as Moodsy, the Clinically Depressed Owl, Erica Doering as Compost Brite, J. Elvis Weinstein as Dumpster Diver Dan and Jerry Beck as “Jerry Beck”, along with special guests Dave “Gruber” Allen and Erik Charles Nielsen, 8pm at The Steve Allen Theater, 4773 Hollywood Blvd. • Free Parking! • Advanced Tickets here • Phone: (323) 666-9797 • Map & Directions • And friend us on Facebook.
Tuesday October 5th is my 3rd annual Halloween animation screening at the
CineFamily/Silent Movie Theatre. This year I’m sharing the stage with Seamus and Mark from
Screen Novelties, who have curated a special spooktastic show featuring several monster movies of their own along with clips and shorts of their most dearly beloved creepy creations. The second half of the evening we’ll screen a very rare 35mm print of Disney’s
The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, featuring of course,
The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Join us – it should be a howl!
I’ll be showing vintage 16mm cartoons to open the Janet Klein show on
