Reflections and Such on 2019
I watched a lot of cartoons in 2019; some of which I have opinions on. So now I’m going to discuss those hot takes (most of lukewarm at best) along with some other thoughts on Cartoon Cuisine and what 2020 will bring. You know, reflections and such. Disenchantment Season 1 – Part 2 This season…

Gene’s Jelly Bean Casserole from Bob’s Burgers

I mostly missed it because Fox isn’t exactly known for supporting its new and original programs. It was silly,…
