Marvel X-Men, volumes 3 & 4 – CliqueClack Giveaway
Maybe you were one of the lucky winners in our previous giveaway of volumes 1 & 2 of this series, or maybe you just already have volumes 1 & 2 on your own. And then there’s of course a possibility that you’re just not interested in the first two volumes and just want these two (I mean, the third volume does contain the Dark Phoenix saga, which is ultra-cool). In any case, here’s your chance to get both copies, together!
Marvel X-Men volumes 3 & 4 are available on DVD starting today, and we’ve got one set (one of each volume) to give away to one lucky, random commenter to this post. Just tell us why you want the set!
Venture Bros. season 4 trailer – You don’t want it, you need it
Those that were fortunate enough to witness the premiere of the Venture Bros. season 4 trailer at Comic-Con are probably still reeling from the impact. Home viewers, the trailer is finally online, and you have the benefit of seeing it on a small screen, lessening the chances of overdosing on awesome. Plus, there’s been some exciting news from the creators, Jackson Publick and Doc Hammer.
The Goode Family belongs on FOX – Guest Clack
We’ve got some fresh meat … er, new Guest Clacking coming at you today. Cameron Archer is a freelance writer from Ontario. He writes for his site at URBMN and has also contributed to blogcritics.org.
I didn’t enjoy The Goode Family’s pilot episode. As a longtime King of the Hill fan, The Goode Family felt like a weaker King of the Hill with political leanings reversed. Ubuntu came across as an idiot savant, while Gerald and Helen Goode were ciphers. The pilot had a subplot about purity rings, something South Park covered to greater comedic effect in its thirteenth-season premiere.
Having followed the show since the pilot, I have a higher opinion of The Goode Family. Ubuntu is more an awkward enigma at this point. Gerald is more competent than his employer, the Hank Hill of academia. The Goode Family is starting to feel like King of the Hill without being its blown-up negative. It’s just too bad no one watches the show.
Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade: no need to clear the streets
Last year Seth MacFarlane debuted a slew of webisodes on YouTube called his “Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy,” made up of short videos with many of the same voices and animation styles you’d find in hist much more popular show, Family Guy. Put all together, it reminded me of the shorts Robot Chicken produces, only in animated form.
Recently an “uncensored” DVD containing all of the webisodes was released (we had a giveaway for some copies not long ago), and I got a chance to give it a watch. I only caught a few of the videos up on YouTube, so it was great to get to see them all together in one sitting.
Transformers: Animated Series: Season Two – CliqueClack Giveaway
If you lived through the Transformers era, you’ll get the joke when I say that this giveaway is more than meets the eye. All my life, I’ve been surrounded by Transformers in one incarnation or another. My brothers watched the animated series and had all the original toys: Optimus Prime and the whole gang.
Now, my four-year-old was gifted his first “transformer” this Christmas: Luke Skywalker turns into a snow speeder. Naturally.
You’re in luck if you’ve been a Transformers fan for a long time, because Cliqueclack’s got three copies of Transformers: Animated Series: Season Two to give away to three random commenters to this post. Just leave a comment telling us why you’d like to receive this DVD set.
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Vol. 6 DVD – CliqueClack Giveaway
I know we’ve got more than a few Adult Swim fans who visit CliqueClack daily, so this DVD set should interest you guys. This week we’re giving away a copy of Aqua Teen Hunger Force – Volume 6 to three lucky, random commenters to this post. Just tell us why you’d like to own this DVD set. The title is available in stores starting tomorrow, December 16.
I particularly like the box cover art for this title. Has a very retro-arcade game look to it.
Joss Whedon wants to kill Oz; Ron Moore picks Cylons with darts
One of my favorite and underused characters of Buffy has always been Oz. He’s had some of the best lines of the series, only having been on the show for two seasons and change. It always bugged me that we never got some clear closure to the character and never really found out what happened during his long hiatus, when he was temporarily “cured” of his werewolfiness (though I hear there’s a comic book about it).
Being a fan of both Joss Whedon and Ron Moore’s work, the fourth season premiere of Robot Chicken is fraking hilarious. Not only does it perfectly poke fun at Seth Green, Joss Whedon, Ron Moore and Seth MacFarlane, but it’s voiced by them all as well!
