Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays and so forth and so on! We're staying in the sort of spooky sort of holiday spirit with the 1990 Christmas classic(?) Edward Scissorhands! The first of a long line of collaborations between Tim Burton, Danny Elfman, and Johnny Depp (Helena Bonham Carter had not joined the gang yet) and also starring Winona Ryder and Matinee Manatees alum Dianne Wiest, Edward Scissorhands arguably cemented Burton's reputation and style for the rest of his career and became a standby for the kind of sad and somewhat spooky for a generation. But how long has it been since you actually sat down and watched it? The manatees discuss pressing issues like the propensity of neighborhood kids to hang out in derelict buildings, ideal utensils to have instead of fingers, and the sad neglected fate of Edgar Cookiefeet, the sad robot boy who could have been. Float along with us as we revisit this cult favorite, and a very merry any-holiday to you and yours. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matinee-manatees/support

Sorry for the relatively short episode this week.  I've been struggling with sleep more than usual recently, so you're getting a random assortment of short topics, including my experiences finally beating FTL with all ships, my frustration with Steam apparently deleting my Dicey Dungeons save, an upcoming spinoff of Crypt of the Necrodancer, and an interesting (but flawed) Pokemon fangame where you play as a gym leader!  I also discuss my own Pokemon gym leader project that may or may not become its own series of episodes.  Hope you're okay with a very sleep-deprived version of me rambling about all this and more!

Just in time for being way too late for labor day, the Manatees are revisiting the 1999 Mike Judge classic Office Space, supposedly starring Ron Livingston and Jennifer Aniston but actually starring Gary Cole and Stephen Root, and also featuring Matinee Manatee alums Orlando Jones and Michale McShane! While it was a flop at release, Office Space quickly became a cult classic in large part due to its portrayal of middle American office culture at the turn of the millennium. But does it hold up? Float along with the manatees and find out! Personal anecdotes about office jobs and incessant comparisons to Fight Club ensue. The manatees share old guy advice on how to get away with slacking at work, why you should never dramatically quit when you can make them fire you, and why there is never a good way to ask a service worker out on a date while they're at work, and ask the tough questions, like: Is Milton real? Is this job actually bad or is it just the protagonist's personality? What does any of this have to do with Drew Carey? Answers to all these and more on the next exciting episode of Matinee Manatees!

Trying a new show notes format because I keep forgetting to write down the silly things I say.  This week, I cover Pokemon Red Battle Factory Edition.  It's a hack of Pokemon Red where you are locked in a factory and forced to fight dozens of random trainers with a set of random Pokemon that Professor Oak gives you.  The AI is either a big ol' cheater or unbelievably good at predicting Pokemon switches, the random 'mons you get are either horrible or ludicrously overpowered, and your prize for winning the game is Professor Oak telling you to go outside.  But it's still enjoyable and a nice change of pace from the usual Pokemon fare.  Also, DREAM TALK because I know you love listening to me talk about my weird and terrible dreams.
