Old School Lane Update: September 2024

 Hi everyone. It's time for an update. It's been several weeks since I posted the interview with Greg Lee and Kevin Shinick on their upcoming graphic novel. Since then, I have lived in the UK for over a month. Arun and I had taken a week long trip down south towards North Wales, Cardiff, and Southhampton, I was unpacking my things from my suitcases, settling in on the place I was living in with Arun, and trying my best to look for work via job fairs and online searching. I haven't had the chance to do podcast recording or script writing for videos for the past month, so I'm sorry for those who have been waiting for so long. But I'm slowly returning back to content creating for Old School Lane. October is right around the corner, so we'll be doing the 3rd installment of Old Spook Lane Creepy Chats. We'll be starting off with talking about the recent Tim Burton movie Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long awaited sequel to the 1988 film of Beetlejuice. We talked about it on last year's Old Spook Lane, so go check it out to get a refresher on our thoughts on it. 

Afterwards, we'll be going over a few spooky animated TV shows, an interview with a person who co-created an underrated animated show that will be celebrating its 30th anniversary this Halloween, and a few bonus episodes talking about a beloved movie based on a long running franchise, and a fan film based on a popular multi-player first person shooter. I can't go any further on what the topics are, but they'll be quite a treat. 

As for videos, I'm working on two. One is connected to the interview we'll be doing this October, so I can't go too much into detail. The other is sort of a follow up of the Christmas Every Day video I posted last year. It's about the 1988 animated CBS special The Canterville Ghost, the second collaboration between radio host and producer Dick Orkin and Chicago based animation company Calabash Animation. Once again, I have some behind the scenes stories on the making of the special including why this was the last collaboration between Orkin-Flaum Productions and Calabash. This is information you won't find anywhere else. It's just that obscure. Again, if you wish to learn about both of them, check out my Christmas Every Day video. 

And yes, I haven't forgotten about Season 3 of Rugrats: View from the Crib or the Good Burger project. I'm still working on them. I just haven't had the time to work on them. Hopefully, once I'm more settled in, I will make time to finish them. As for the newest DreamWorks film The Wild Robot, it won't come out until October 18 in the UK, so please be patient. Arun and I will watch it when we can.

Okay, that's all I have for now. I'll make announcements for what I'll be posting for Thanksgiving and Christmas. But in the meanwhile, hope to see you around Old School Lane soon. Take care.
