A Very Special Special Segment UPDATE: We May Have Found Our Thing

August 18, 2025December 23, 2025silverstar 3 Comments

If you’ve been following us, you know from A Very Special Special Segment that our two “special” miniseries segments, What The Funny and Pop Dream, were getting shelved/put on ice as we’re planning to consolidate them (or elements of them) into a single new miniseries segment that we’re developing. There we also mentioned that we want this new segment to be singularly focused on a specific thing, like one particular franchise, studio, genre or company.

For a brief moment, we considered that thing being Saturday Morning Cartoons…

But that’s too similar to our flagship series, the Razzle Dazzle Show; in fact, the basic premise of our entire channel/brand is Saturday Morning Fans Who Grew Up, aka a kids’ show for adults. After some back-and-forth searching and consideration, we may have landed on the connecting thread that this new segment will be built around:

It’s looking like this new segment will be built around…WARNER BROS. STUDIOS!

We’ve been giving this some thought, and WB seems to check all our boxes: it’s big and iconic, so the things we can cover on it are generally known (no super niche stuff like Animal Jam), it’s a single company but it houses many products and pop-culture things of interest such as cartoons, TV shows, movies, video games, toys, merchandise, ad campaigns, theme park attractions, etc.

Plus a lot of the characters and franchises under WB’s umbrella are among our favorite things: Looney Tunes, Cartoon Network, DC, Hanna-Barbera; this will enable us to make a wide range of videos without getting burned out or repeating ourselves.

Plus, it’s something different. There are already about 300 people out there who have blogs, internet shows, or channels devoted to Disney; we don’t want our channel to be the 301st. There are already dozens of DisneyTubers, but nobody’s really spotlighting Warner Bros like that (as far as we know).

Here’s how it’ll work: Our main series will of course be The Razzle Dazzle Show. This will cover the Saturday Morning/Animation and Assorted Stuff/things in general.

The other main recurring segments like TV Special Tonight, The Couch, Talkin’ Nerdy, Player Two Start, Nerdvana, Retroville, etc. will more or less be incorporated into Razzle Dazzle (generally speaking, we plan to have each installment of RDS to feature 2 or 3 segments per show).

2 Funny, Brain Candy, and other miscellaneous mini-segments will either appear between the main Razzle Dazzle segments and/or separately as shorts. These segments are basically the shows between the shows.

The new segment will run on it’s own schedule; separate from the Razzle Dazzle Show but still running concurrently alongside of it, in other words when a new installment of the ‘special’ segment pops up, we won’t be ceasing production on anything else we’re doing at that time. However, the new segment won’t appear as often or as regularly as the Razzle Dazzle Show segments; installments of this segment will only turn up from time to time, and only when we have one (obviously).

Now, on to what you can expect to see on this new special segment (and why we shelved Pop Dream and What The Funny):

As previously stated, this new segment will celebrate/deep dive into all things Warner Brothers (or all the things pertaining to WB cartoon and geek culture stuff, anyway).

This obviously includes Looney Tunes (no shock there)…

Cartoon Network…

DC…

Hanna-Barbera, etc. It will cover the shorts, the shows, the movies,

The games,

The toys,

Theme parks and stage shows, you get the idea.

There will occasionally be detailed character profiles and tributes, a la Pop Dream, but the overall approach and execution will be much different. I don’t want this new segment to just be Pop Dream with a different name. Yes, one reason I retired Pop Dream was because I felt the branding and approach to it was too sugary-sweet and tame compared to the other stuff we do and it didn’t really fit in with our general style (which leans more towards wild ‘n’ crazy) but that wasn’t the only problem I was having with it. While it was a little more focused on a singular subject than the average segment, it was still a different show each time, which was kind of grab baggy, like what we’re already doing on The Razzle Dazzle Show; one reason I launched my miniseries in the first place was to do something different. Also I was starting to find the Pop Dream formula a tad too rigid; it followed the same basic formula of “Pick a show or franchise, select 5 or 6 of my favorite characters from said franchise, profile them in the same categories, choose another show, pick 5 or 6 favorite characters from that show, wash, rinse, repeat”, plus it adhered to the same 5 bullet points every time in the exact same order; I began wanting a break from that; I admit I was getting bored with Pop Dream because it was the same thing every time. My awakening came from watching LS Mark’s Splash Dash or Walter Banasiak’s Juniversal: I liked how, despite them both focusing on one specific thing (Sonic the Hedgehog and Universal Studios, respectively), each video was something different every time: sometimes they’d focus on a show, sometimes a game, sometimes a movie, sometimes a theme park attraction, sometimes lore, sometimes graphics, whatever, as long as they pertain to the main subject. I love how fluid those segments are, and wanted to have that kind of freedom on my miniseries, so while there will be Pop Dream style character profiles here and there, those won’t be the only things we do on this segment nor are we going to adhere to that structure as rigidly.

I probably can list these guys’ funnier moments, but we’d be here a while.

Hey, Jason (Goldstar) here. I just wanted to reiterate how this new segment will differ from What the Funny (and also why I wanted to make these changes in the first place). For one, the WTF segments quickly fell into a very predictable formula; I would pick a comedy show, breakdown 5 or 6 episodes of said show, then pick a different comedy show and start the process all over again. WTF was supposed to be a variety of fun stuff all focused on 1 specific show, franchise or studio, not just keep doing the exact same thing, but with a different show each time. I wanted to put a stop to that because that wasn’t far enough away from The Razzle Dazzle Show, our flagship show. In the time since I stared WTF, I became aware of Splash Dash and Tough Pigs.com. Both of which are focused on 1 specific subject: the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and Jim Henson’s Muppets, respectively. If WTF were to continue, it would’ve needed to have a more distinct connecting thread besides just being funny, since our entire website/channel is devoted to cartoons and comedy. Also, this new segment won’t be a miniseries in which each individual installment contains 5 or 6 separate entries. Truth be told, I was getting tired of that format and wanted to present the episodes in a different way. Each installment of this new segment will be standalone, and we’ll just do one whenever we feel like it.

For another, I definitely wanted to put a stop the episode reviews because that’s too basic. That’s Nostalgia Critic and everybody and their mom does those. One reason why I (and Damon too, as I later discovered) embarked on this special segment in the first place was to do something different. I still like the idea of What the Funny, but now I see that it needed more time to cook.

In short, the new segment will be less this…

And more this.

There may be a ratings system (of sorts), but it’s mainly going to be joke ratings made strictly for laughs and not meant to be taken that seriously. Also, we won’t be numbering the individual entries in this segment since it’s not going to be the same thing every time.

Now, before anyone informs us that we already have a recurring segment devoted to Warner Brothers Studios called That’s Warner Brothers! my response is that TWB! used to be Cartoon Country, so the way I see it, this is taking the evolution of the concept a step further. Finally, as previously stated, this new segment will be replacing both What the Funny and Pop Dream because we feel that it’s more efficient to have just one miniseries as opposed to having two.

Two things we’re committed to doing with this segment:

It’ll be a variety. One thing I can’t overemphasize here is that we want this new segment to be fluid; we don’t wish to just do the same thing every time. If one installment is about Foghorn Leghorn’s Funniest Bits, then the next one will be something completely different, like “All Those -Alities”, where we spotlight our favorite Mortal Kombat Fatalities, Friendships and Animalities, then the video after that will be about something unrelated to that, like all the cameos, references, callbacks and Easter Eggs in the movie Scoob!. We’re really committed to the idea(l) that we never do the same type of video twice in a row.
It will absolutely, positively, definitely NOT be a review show! We can do celebrations, goofs, trivia, spotlights and highlights and assorted fun things, but it won’t be the standard issue review format. Once again, this isn’t Nostalgia Critic; one reason we’re launching this segment (nee, the entire channel) is to do something different from that.

Right now, one of the main thing this new segment needs is a name. We could just continue to call it That’s Warner Bros!, but that might be a bit basic and too obvious. We want to have some fun and play a little loose with this segment, so we may want a more abstract and less obvious title. Some names we’re currently considering are:

Untitled Cartoon Show

That Cartoon Show

Toontime

The Basement

Cartoon Madness

Cartoon Country

Club Whatever

And of course, What The Funny.

We’re still playing around with names, but this new segment is coming that much closer to becoming reality. We’ll keep you posted.

“S-s-s-s-stay tooned, folks!”

UPDATE TO THE UPDATE: After some deliberation, we’ve finally decided on a name for this new segment. As a result of What The Funny, Pop Dream and That’s Warner Brothers doing the Fusion Dance…

This new special miniseries segment will be called (drum roll, please)…

WEIRD BOYS!!

The name Weird Boys fits so perfectly. One, it applies; we’re both weird, and two, its’ initials are WB; so it’s a perfect way to say what the segment is about without actually saying it. (Weird Boys = Warner Brothers, get it?)

So when Twin Images goes live on video, expect to see Weird Boys make its’ debut alongside The Razzle Dazzle Show and our other regular segments somewhere down the line. When? Who knows? It’ll be a surprise, something special, if you will. So look out for it, at any given moment, Twin Images will be getting weird!

Yearly Wrap-Up 2022

Howdy, folks.

Well, gang, here we are once again. The last blog post of the year, and let me you, this is one year I’m looking forward to see in the rearview mirror. You want to know what I thought about 2022?

“Oh, wowsy, wowsy, woo-woo! Miserable year, wasn’t it?”

Well maybe I wouldn’t go that far, but this year was a rough one. Too often, there have been things happening in real life that left us feeling this way:

And as a result of being sidelined by so much jackassery, we haven’t been able to devote as much time to this site as we would have liked, and we’re not happy about that. This coupled with the fact that at the start of 2022, I was in a really bad place, feeling just a little bit…

So with that, it’s time to bury 2022 into the cold, cold ground and look ahead to 2023. I’m cautiously optimistic.

Overall, we don’t have a whole lot of new stuff to announce now (of course, that could change at any time. We’ll keep you posted). The main thing that we’d like to do is make the giant leap from blogging to video production. There are a few things coming down the pike, if we get the time and space to sit down and work on them. Damon’s Pop Dream for Animal Jam and my What The Funny for Regular Show may resume. Initially, we put them on hold because in case we wanted to continue them in video form. Speaking of WTF, Damon and I have considered doing another What The Funny miniseries for WB’s Jellystone!

One good thing about this prospect is that with both of us working on a miniseries together, we should get it completed in half the time. As previously noted, now these 2 miniseries are semi-regular or recurring thing here, we won’t be numbering the individual entries anymore.

Also, as Damon mentioned in an earlier blog post, there will be some more posts that don’t fall into any particular category. They’ll just be stuff that we want to talk about that we do for our own amusement.

Overall, hopefully, there will be more activity here in 2023. It would be nice if maybe we could finally be able to switch to video format next year (fingers crossed).

So see ya, 2022. You won’t be missed. Here’s looking forward to another 12 months of nonsense. Happy New Year, everyone!

State of the Blog: More to Come

October 2, 2022October 2, 2022silverstar Leave a comment

So, 2022 has proven itself to be….a year, hasn’t it?

Yeah, this has been a wild one. 2022 has been a year of tumult, both professionally and personally, for the both of us as well as the world in general.

Don’t get me started on what’s happening over at Netflix and Warner Bros. Discovery.

All of this assorted…stuff…is why it’s been kind of dry over here these past several months.

Those of you who have stuck with us this whole time (and thank you for doing that, BTW) have noticed a slight uptick in the output here. Progress is kind of slow right now, but things are gradually starting to pick up here. Jason and I are getting back on track and the creative itch has returned, waiting to be scratched. I think we’re ready to FINALLY take this blog to the next level.

(Note how I didn’t refer to it as Twinsanity 2.0, because it’s not Twinsanity 2.0; it’s not Twinsanity anything. We changed the site’s name to Twin Images earlier this year; I’ve already elaborated on why in an earlier post, just refer to that.)

Now, as to what to expect here going forward.

*“This is going to be a long read, so you might want to get some snacks.”*

First and foremost, I feel like we’ve done all we can with the free version of WordPress.

In the upcoming months, we’re going to be upgrading to a paid site. More bells and whistles, more options, and as a paid blog we can monetize this bad boy.

The reason for this is not just naked greed (though naked greed is part of it); you see, our long-term goal is to one day be able to do what we do here: cartoons, comedy, art and making people laugh, as a full-time occupation; ads can help us accomplish this goal, but we first have to attract more viewers to the blog. I’m also considering starting a Patreon or Ko-Fi account for Twin Images (there’s also another platform called Comradery that I’ve heard things about; we’re currently weighing our options). Artists gotta eat too, especially if we’re going to be paying for a bigger and better site/show.

-Yes, I said ‘show’. Despite the way it may look, we’re STILL planning to start making videos. (We’ll continue to blog in the meantime, though, at least until we get the hang of video production, then that’ll take precedent.) We were just shopping for equipment as recently as yesterday. WordPress has plenty of video-friendly themes and templates; just yet another incentive to upgrade.

We probably won’t upgrade the site until early next year, likely around January or early February, though. It just so happens that it’s now October, and the tail end of the year is a notoriously bad time to try and create content; you have Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November and Christmas in December. (Also if you count it, New Year’s Eve/Day in late December/early January.) You have to deal with holiday preparations, shopping, family get-togethers, etc. and all the crapola that comes with all that, which leaves very little time to try and create. If you want to do any serious creative work, you’re basically out of luck until January, and since the whole point is to increase production so we’ll increase traffic, we’ll likely hold off on the upgrade until early 2023; we’re not going to pay an annual fee while we’re not producing a lot of work, and we’re sure not going to expect you good folks to donate to us for nothing.

Also, expect the style and nature of the posts we make to change slightly. Regular visitors to the site may have already noticed a slight difference in the types of posts that have been appearing here lately. We’ve decided not to adhere so rigorously to the recurring segments here. (This is why I removed the tab listing the recurring segments; that and it was just out-of-date now.) I/we used to try to make all or most of the posts adhere to one of the regular segments that we set up, but that’s just the thing: WE set them up; they’re not etched in stone so everything we do doesn’t have to fit into a specific box. At a certain point this year, I decided:

I’m just going to post what I want to post.

From now on it doesn’t matter if something fits into one of the recurring segment categories or not, whether it’s long or short, simple or detailed; if it’s funny or interesting and it came from one of our brains, then we’re going to post it. Period. We need to be flexible and just have fun with this stuff. It can’t ever stop being fun; it if starts to feel like a job or a chore, then it’s time to hang it up.

(The recurring segments won’t be going away, however; we’ll still be doing That’s Warner Brothers!, Brain Candy, The Couch, Retroville, What the Funny, Pop Dream, et al, it’s just that going forward everything we post doesn’t have to fall into one of those categories. We’re trying to give ourselves more creative freedom here.)

-As a consequence to this New Style, you’ll probably be seeing less of us on Tumblr going forward. We won’t be leaving Tumblr; it’s a great community and there’s some cool people and stuff on there, but neither of us have been posting a ton of original work on there this year. Initially we created the Tumblr account to a) attract more eyeballs to our main site on WordPress (feel free to do start following us here if you’re not already doing that, BTW) and b) post short, quick micro-blog posts and simple jokey-jokes that we didn’t think were ‘big’ or ‘significant’ enough to post here on the main site. However, as previously stated, nowadays we’ve greatly loosened that self-imposed rule and have been starting to put all of our musings and ramblings, big or small, on this site, to the point where sometimes I would copy the same posts on both sites. With this being planned to become the main hub for our content, we just don’t need to post on Tumblr as much anymore (lately I’ve mostly just been lurking and re-blogging stuff on Tumblr). There are no plans to shut down our Tumblr page just yet, but from here on out we’ll mainly be posting content here and on YouTube.

As for what type of content you can expect, no major changes. We’ll still be covering our favorite topics:

Our favorite current cartoon shows, characters and channels…

Weird, funny, memorable and obscure products, stores, ad campaigns and mascots…

Kooky, fun locations and tourist-y spots…

Also expect to see more of us just being funny, wacky, crazy and creative in general.

Speaking of which, we still would like to one day start posting original art and cartoons online. (I made a couple of early attempts, and they were just that, but the dream is still alive and I’m learning.) If that venture takes off, we’ll likely create a second blog for our cartoons. (I may put them behind some kind of paywall too, we’ll see.)

So once again, big, BIG thanks to all of you who have stayed with us. It means a lot. Please stick around to see what’s coming up next from us here; we can’t wait to show you what we’ve got in store. And as always…

Just a Quick Heads-Up Regarding Our Address

April 25, 2022April 25, 2022silverstar Leave a comment

Hey, folks.

As those of you who visit us regularly know, we’ve recently changed this site’s name to Twin Images, and subsequently we’ve changed our URL from twinsanity.co to twinimages.blog. As of right now, clicking on the former will redirect you to the latter.

This brings us to what I’m about to type now: today we’ve opted not to renew the domain twinsanity.co, as we don’t need to be paying for 2 domains, especially since 1 of them belongs to an earlier moniker that we’ve stopped using a while ago.. As such, the URL twinsanity.co will expire on June 23, 2022. After that, you won’t be able to use that address to get to this site anymore; you’ll only be able to use twinimages.blog.

So from here on out, start using twinimages.blog as our only WordPress URL. twinsanity.co will only be active for another month; after June 23, you won’t be able to reach this site by typing the old domain anymore. Our Tumblr page is still twin-images.tumblr.com. That hasn’t changed.

P.S.: I know we’ve been on hiatus for quite a while now, bear with us. There’s just a lot going with us in real life right now, among those things are us preparing for the upcoming format change. Rebranding, switching mediums and upgrading is a lot of work! We are working on new stuff for this site, and it will be worth the wait. We promise.
