Hottest Trash for Fall 2025 - Mother's Basement
As I (inexplicably) do every new season, the following is a list of all the shows Geoff recommends in the dumpster fire category. There’s a load of hot, new trash, so it should burn for some time.

#SatoshiKon is one of my favorite filmmakers of all time. His medium just happened to be #animation. #PerfectBlue. #TokyoGodfathers. #Paprika. #ParanoiaAgent. And, of course, the topic for this video, #MillenniumActress. Pancreatic cancer took him at age 46. youtu.be/1R1rOH4ws…

If you’ve never heard of “Wakfu” and enjoy animated series, then you might want to watch this #YouTube video about the #French series. If you know #Wakfu, then you’ll be pleased to know a fifth season has been funded. #animation www.youtube.com/watch

The WORST Anime of ALL TIME - 10th Anniversary: The Complete List
Part of the payment I must make to Satan to save my soul from eternal damnation is to prepare a detailed listing of all anime that Geoff lists in his Mother’s Basement videos on YouTube. Just kidding. I do it because I love it and want to help peeps retain the font of knowledge that Geoff shares with us in his various videos. Today’s video is a comprehensive breakdown of the ten worst anime of all time. Yes, the worst of the worst or the animated equivalent of emotional torture.
NOTE: This is a list of anime series to AVOID. These shows are NOT like the Hottest Trash which you can watch because sometimes bad == good. So, please don’t watch these, unless you’re a sadist… or a masochist who wishes to inflict …

I love Mobile Police #Patlabor, an #anime #mecha series unlike any other. It’s been around for a very long time and will be returning next year with Patlabor EZY. If you are new to Patlabor, check out STEVEM’s fantastic retrospective. #animation #TV #movies #scifi #mamoruoshii www.youtube.com/watch

If you’ve been crouching in a closet moaning to yourself about how long it’s taking to get Season 3 of #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds, it seems we might have an official date from SkyShowtime Netherlands. It’s August 1st. That’s it for now. #StarTrek #STSNW #scifi www.youtube.com/watch

LA is my hometown. The #Capitalism segment of #Hollywood is dwarfed by the creatives who make the media we love. They should be paid and not replaced by #AI. Now watch Mikey’s video about the sign. #film #TV #animation #music www.youtube.com/watch

So, we tried watching Suits LA episode 2. I have regrets. It was worse than the pilot. If it’s unclear, we will not be continuing the series. If you loved #Suits, do NOT try to watch this. #TV www.slashfilm.com/1801618/s…

Well, this is annoying. It turns out that the cast of #StargateUniverse found out that the show had been cancelled like everyone else… when the news broke in the media. The #SyFy series was a fantastic new take on the #Stargate formula that deserved better. #TV #scifi www.slashfilm.com/1795353/s…

Suits was an excellent show. Sure, it had a few minor stumbles, but it was solid entertainment.
Suits LA is a joke. The 2nd episode is terrrrrrible…

Just came across this red band #trailer for something called The Bondsman, a Prime series starring Kevin Bacon. In his role as Hub Halloran he is a skip tracer for the Devil. That and this trailer should have you psyched for the limited series. #TV #horror #comedy www.youtube.com/watch

Just watched #AdultSwim’s new #AdultAnimation series Common Side Effects created by Joseph Bennett and Steve Hely. It’s a departure from the norm as it is a conspiracy thriller and not a comedy. The #animation is also quite excellent. Watch the pilot here. #TV www.youtube.com/watch

Like sociopaths testing the boundaries of society (sound familiar?), #streaming services keep raising rates to see how far they can stretch consumers, and they’re doing it again. We’re starting to get tired of this, and considering dropping a few. #capitalism #pricegouging www.theverge.com/23901586/…

Are you as sad as we are that #Apple’s #Silo season 2 just ended? Apple seems to get that and has apparently shared a 24-minute set walkthrough for all of us to enjoy (and to ramp up our anxiety of having to wait for seasons 3 and 4). #TV #scifi 9to5mac.com/2025/01/2…

I’ve been a big fan of #Marvel’s #Daredevil for a long, long time, and the only live action version that was ever good was #Netflix’s which ran three seasons starting in 2015, but it was cancelled. Now #Disney+ is bringing it back with Daredevil: Born Again in March and it looks really good. #TV www.youtube.com/watch

Well, well, well! The wife and I loved #Grimm when it was on #TV, and now it looks like they might be making a reboot movie for #NBC’s #Peacock streamer. It would be very nice if David Giuntoli and Russel Hornsby were brought on. #fantasy www.theverge.com/2025/1/6/…

I suggest you just #read the #books. Don’t bother with the series. #Apple spent a tanker-full of money to make a terrible non-adaptation. They took some ideas, mixed it all up, cut out a bunch, and invented a lot of new crap that superficially resembles #IsaacAsimov’s seminal #scifi works. www.polygon.com/sci-fi/50…

My daughter and I have been watching #Defunctland on #Youtube for years now. Kevin Perjurer is a wonderfully thoughtful, detail oriented, and quietly snarky filmmaker that you can’t help but enjoy watching tales of dead amusement parks. Petrana @polygon.com found that out, too! #TV #disney www.polygon.com/yuletide-…

Just got done watching the first episode of #StarWars #SkeletonCrew and it’s definitely a banger. Great writing, casting, VFX, sound and music, and pacing. It’s nice to see some suburbia in a Star Wars property, as well, and the Goonies vibe is strong with this one. This will be the first new Star Wars I’ve been excited for since Rogue One. #TV

So, just watched all of Amazon’s Secret Level series and here’s my review: It’s not… great. At least with Love Death & Robots we got original stories. These are glossy, extended ads for #VideoGames or, in the case of Ep. 15, an ad for Sony. Don’t bother. Just rewatch LD&R on Netflix.

Despite being cancelled after the second season (apparently the bill for production has been upwards of $250 million and it shows) #Arcane on #Netflix is an absolute, unquestionable masterpiece of #storytelling, #animation, #television, and just plain ol' #artistic excellence, and all from a little know French animation studio called #Fortiche. Even if they got to finish it, you’d never want it to end, but I understand it wraps up rather well anyway.

NBC's Grimm is freaking amazing
" “>
Peg me as a media nerd, and I'll nod and thank you for the compliment. I love media. The various types of media I consume are just different methods of telling stories. I love books and music and anime and comics and movies and television, but more specifically what I really love is a good story.
NBC's Grimm is a good story.
"posthaven-gallery" id="posthaven_gallery[1024429]">
In a nutshell, Grimm is a supernatural crime drama that is based on the simple premise that all of the monsters of worldwide myth are real and living among us. In the first seasons, Nick Burkhardt discovers from his aunt that he is an heir to the generations old mantle of monster hunters called …
