Yesterday, Disney’s long awaited streaming service dropped and gave us nearly every piece of content Disney/Fox/Nat Geo have ever created all in one place. Needless to say the amount of content was overwhelming, but I went in with a mission: I wanted to watch the OG Mickey short, a 1928 black and white film called “Steamboat Willie.”
Steamboat Willie marks the first official appearance of the worlds second most famous vermin (the first being the rat that started the Black Plague), Mickey Mouse, who Disney alleges can nowadays be identified by 98% of the people on the planet. My curiosity with this short was to not only see this famous characters beginnings, but to also see what a children’s cartoon was like in 1928, and I was pleasantly surprised by what I saw.
For starters despite being over 90 years old the animation never felt too choppy, with smooth transitions, and was complemented well by the musical score. The short kicks off with Mickey driving a steamboat, whistling a fire tune, before his dick of a boss shows up and tells him to fuck off (without saying it though, as this film has no dialogue). His boss then proceeds to eat a cigar and start spitting tobacco all over the fucking place (via a gap in his teeth), something we would never see in a children’s cartoon today:
Mickey then helps a a cow onto the steamboat after fattening it up with some hay, before his chick Minnie joins him on the boat with gifts, only for a goat on the boat to eat those gifts. After the goat eats her mans guitar, Minnie makes that fucker pay by using him as a phonograph:
At this point in the film I was quite unclear about what the plot was, and I would only get more confused as it went on.
After kicking Minnie off the boat, Mickey heads down into the bowels of the boat to check on a fuck ton of farm animals residing there. This is where Mickey shows his true self: an absolute asshole. Whether it be out of spite for the goat eating his instrument or him just being a sick fuck, Mickey proceeds to fuck with the animals all to the tune of a musical score, I mean look at this shit:
After he beats up on all of the animals to the tune of his song, Mickeys dip spitting boss again makes an appearance to tell him to stop fucking around and get back to work . Where the short concludes with Mickey skinning potatoes, during which he knocks a parrot that as been mocking him out off a window, then laughs while listening to it drown outside, I’m really not making that up, he actually laughs while it drowns.
All in all, what I learned from the short is that 1928 was a very different time, A time before PETA and pussies, one where kids were encouraged to choke out ducks to the sound of music, and to eat cigars for comedy. Mickeys actions in this film can be chalked up to youthful ignorance, as these violent traits are no longer part of his character.
I would give this short an 8.1/10 for both its historical significance and slapstick comedy. However I still don’t understand why some animals (Mickey, Minnie, and his boss) are able to talk and walk, while others (every other animal in the short) are dumb as rocks.
After dropping the first trailer for their upcoming Sonic the hedgehog live action film back in April 2018, paramount pictures got BLASTED for how badly they fucked up the titular characters design. I mean look at this nightmare fuel:
I get they wanted to make the humanoid hedgehog more realistic, but Jesus Christ, he looks like Michael J fox in teen wolf, not our beloved Sega superstar.
the original trailer was disliked on YouTube hundreds of thousands of times, and Paramount eventually took it off the site altogether. Following the backlash Paramount vowed to fix the characters design, delaying the film 3 months, spending millions to change all the animation, while also likely losing millions in merchandise already made using the original design. That’s right, in an extremely rare move, a company actually listened to their fans.
Today they unveiled a new trailer featuring a complete redesign of Sonic, which makes him look far more like his usual self, a fantastic change that is sure to please fans. Check it out below:
Kudos to Paramount for this one, and I hope fans flock to the theaters out of respect for what they did.
Last night NBA tv had its semi annual Boston local broadcast of the Celtics game and people were not impressed with the commentating.

If any of you readers out there call yourselves sneakerheads lets face it… you most likely only like hype shit and have ZERO taste.
As a jawn connoisseur, it is my job to CORRECT YOUR DOGSHIT TASTE. In order to do so, let me educate yall on my top 5 sneakers of all time… to wear in public. Keep in mind only these specific colorways are my list, AND they are in no particular order.
Nike Air Jordan 1 Chicago
Classic high top siloette, perfect to wear with a wider trouser, thiccccc corduroys, or stone wash denim. WHITE LACES ARE MANDATORY, FUCKKKK WHAT SOLE COLLECTOR SAYS. If you can find them for a good price, buy them and beat the shit out of them as Jordan 1s look better with wear.
Converse Chuck Taylor 70s High
Beautiful classic silouette with the beefier build/cushion setup. The classic black and white is the best colorway and these GO HARD WITH ANYTHING BUT SKINNY JEANS. Just a little style tip, pull your pants over the chucks, no need to tongue fuck Converse…
Common Projects Achilles Low
THE BEST MENSWEAR SNEAKER OF ALL TIME. These can be worn with literally anything ranging from sweats to a suit. Though keep in mind the shoes are very narrow and shallow… therefore a slim pant looks best and if you are going baggy they had better be heavily cropped. The only time Common Projects look like shit are with a heavy break in your pants so be weary of your hemlines. In addition the beautiful Italian leather ages beautifully and the margom sole on these bitches are tanks.
New Balance 990 V3
Worn by Dads, blue collar workers, and super models the New Balance 990 series was always super versatile and functional. In fact the 990 was the first running shoe to retail for over $100 dollars which is toilet for an East Coast Media Elite like myself. We are currently on version 5, but the 3 was the most simple and dialed in. In addition, this was before Demna dropped the Balenciaga Triple S and knocked fashion on its ass. These can be worn with LITERALLY ANYTHING but if you are bout that life then straight leg stone wash denim and a spiccccy Patagucci retro x jacket is the way to go.
Adidas Samba
Best worn on in indoor soccer court, on a skateboard, or in the streets the Adidas Samba in white just flat out looks great with anything. They look great smoked and are cheap enough to triple up at any given time. Step out to your local mall and buy 10 pairs of these instead of a pair of shitty off-white Nikes.
Did you know that the MLS final was yesterday? I had zero idea! Why would I pay attention to anything else at 3:10 besides the NFL on a fall Sunday? The MLS or ESPN had a brilliant idea to go toe to toe with the NFL for their finals.
My question is how??? How could MLS schedule it for a Sunday mid day and not just like a Tuesday night? How could ESPN think this was a good idea?
When you are the fifth sport and the people who like your sport hate your domestic league and instead wake up at 7 am to watch real soccer, you can’t go up against the Number 1 sport! It’s crazy town!
I feel like the sports world aren’t talking about how dumb of an idea this was, and you want to know why? BECAUSE NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR SHITTY CUP!
I want the MLS to do well, I am a Union fan, but no one will ever watch their final over any pro football game ever let along the god damn witching hour (3-2 with my Friday 5 btw.)
So I want to know who do you think is more dumb?
P.S. If Zlatan was playing this blog would be completely different, All Hail Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Last night rapper/designer/tv star Tyler the Creator held his annual Camp Flog Gnaw festival in California, which featured a stacked lineup and a mystery headliner who was not revealed in the lead up to the event. Fans were dying to know who this mystery headliner would be, but rather than be patient, they decided to assume RnB god Frank Ocean was the headliner. Frank makes a lot of sense due to his affiliation with Tyler’s odd future collective, and his appearances at past camp flog gnaw festivals, but alas the fans assumed wrong.
When it was time for the mystery headliner to saunter across the stage, the fans were taken aback to see Rapper Drake and not Frank as the special guest. THEY WERE NOT HAPPY.
From the moment Drake hit the stage he was met with a chorus of boos, and he only managed to get through 6 tracks of 6 god smashes before he had enough:
I actually feel a bit bad for Drake here (A rarity for me, as I am usually anti-jimmy from Degrassi), because since Tyler the creator books this concert himself each year, Drizzy was probably doing the boi a favor.
And to all the fans that boo’d Drake after assuming Frank would headline: you know what happens when you assume, you make an ASS out of U and ME.
Julius Randle rolled into MSG with a wild fit on last night, sporting a deer print shirt with a message that said “why did they kill Bambi” First off, spoilers and Julius Randle says fuck you Disney+ I ain’t supporting this shit, Julius Randle better figure it out or he’ll be on the wrong side of steaming history
This jawn can be copped from Burberry for a cool $903
Today we are kicking off a new weekly segment called Sunday Shit Talk… here I will pick a brief topic and let it rip… why? Because positivity doesn’t equate to page views.
Besides being obsessed with clothes, I am also a full time depressed sports fan… therefore it is time to air out my favorite teams!
Let’s begin with the New York Mets. They are the cheapest penny pinching, no good, little brother, cursed joke of a franchise in sports. Every year we say we are going to spend money and get outbid… When we actually do sign a good player.. they suddenly forget how to play the fucking game. I HOPE YOU ARE ALL LISTENING! @Johan Santana, Luis Castillo, Jeremy Burnitz, Mo Vaughn, Jason Bay, Yo Cespides, Tom Glavine, Roberto Alomar, the list goes ON and ON… But at least we made it to the world series twice in my life time right? Got absolutely destroyed in 2000 by the big be other Yankees… and then recently in 2015 when the Mets had every opportunity to beat the Royals. Like legit if they played any defense they win the fucking chip!!!!!
Anyways before I break my computer let me just put on my clown mask and count down the days until we can celebrate the next Bobby Bonilla Day.
-Signing off 🤡
What is good WCT, sorry for the delay but we are back on the grind to deliver you all the necessary info to avoid dressing like your local mayor. Once again we will be continuing our “weekly” segment jawn of the week and L of the week.
Kicking off our jawn of the week, we are once again going Japanese. While the chances of you knowing what these heatrocks are AND having premarital sex is extremely LOW… just know that if you pull up to Shibuya with these you will undoubtably be DROWNING IN DAT ASS. What we are looking at is the New Nuptse boot by North Face Purple Label, and for those of you who are unaware of the purple label subdivision… this aint that shit posted in your sunday Dicks Sporting Goods flyer. These boots are designed by the Japanese menswear label Nanamica. Therefore they cost dummmmb bread, are not available in the US, and have added raw materials essentially removing functionality as a winter boot. BUT, since they have a chunky vibram outsole, a flexible nylon upper, and NO laces, these bitches will be comfy all winter long.
As for the L of the week… we gotta dig into this NASSSSSSSTY Versace bubble joint. Not only does this cost more than 2 months rent… but this will be seen by some of the least stylish celebs in the game… AKA Floyd Mayweather and 2Chainz. In addition, there is most likely ZERO downfill in this…essentially making it perform even worse than it looks. Therefore unless you want to look like a human orientatal rug… steeeeeeer clear of this.
Signing off… WHEN IN DOUBT COP MORE GEAR
