I know this isn’t technically a cartoon but, for me, SMTV Live defined my childhood Saturday mornings. Abbreviated from literally “Saturday Morning Television Live”, this show is the epitome of what children’s TV is missing today. Aired in August 1998 (eek I’m getting old) and running until December 2003, SMTV Live was hosted by the […]
“Gotta get back. Back to the past. Samurai Jack.” Aaaannnnnnndddddddd now it’s stuck in your head for the day. You’re welcome.

Welcome, welcome, to a new segment here on The Arcade. Hopefully you are used to our regular format of Style Saturday when it comes to makeup, but I wanted to dive even deeper into the world of painting faces. I’ll be taking iconic looks from our favourite movies, series, comics and games, and talking about what […]
When it comes to seasonal screen time, The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) is a staple. Directed by Henry Selick (Coraline, Moongirl, James and the Giant Peach) the movie has everything; from thrills, to jokes, to romance. It’s not surprising why so many love it. Slightly more surprising is that the folks at Hot Topic have seen fit […]
