RenateKijkt reviews the Eerie, Indiana boxset

[froodle]

When I told my friends that I had been to the cinema to watch the Goosebumps movie, the conversation was in no time all about our favorite youth(series) we watched when we were young. We talked about: The Power Rangers, Dinosaurs, Big Bad Beetle Borgs, and Eerie Indiana. Eerie Indiana was always right before or right after the Goosebumps series on Fox Kids and really was one of my favorite childhood series. So, I found it really strange that my boyfriend and some of my friends did not know this series. So I searched on the internet to find Eerie Indiana and found a really cool DVD box with the entire series on bol.com!

Looks like Foreverware is making a comeback in 2017...

I'll be honest, if I was a parent, I'd be thinking about sealing my kids up for the next couple of years too...

"This is a super rough sketch and it'd look much better if I didn't do it on the phone.
But my mom is showing me her favorite show when she was a teenager called "Eerie Indiana" and it was basically the Gravity Falls before Gravity Falls was even a thing. It may be a little cheesy when it comes to effects but it's a great, quirky little show and I totally recommend it. Sadly it was cancelled but this gem deserves recognition!"

It's probably for the best that I never meet a stranger wearing Eerie, Indiana merch in real life, as I would definitely be weird and over-excited about it.

Nerdist reviews Tales from the Loop

[froodle]

Dystopias are dreams destroyed, cities leveled, civilizations re-defined. But they don’t have to be apocalypses. These states of unease and decay can be subtle, almost dreamlike if done well, as if the future was bleeding into the past but no one knows where the cut was made. Artist Simon Stålenhag is a master of this brand of dystopia, and the first collection of paintings depicting his universe is a must-have for lovers of the genre.

Tales From the Loop is a gorgeous, hardcover book filled with 125 pages of art and story (the result of an enormously successful Kickstarter). It’s a journey through the fields and suburbs of a Sweden in the aftermath of a giant science project. The Loop, the colloquial name for a massive particle accelerator built below ground, and the scientific advances spilling from it, has changed the landscape. Children explore abandoned reactors. Partially sentient robots wander the chilled grasses. Or cause small town mayhem.

Almost all of Stålenhag’s paintings are accompanied by short stories in the style of childhood memories and recollections. They are well-written and provide just enough background to frame the beautiful vistas and mechanical hulks (and sometimes dinosaurs). But not everything is explained. Stålenhag gives readers just enough room to imagine — you can look at each piece a dozen times and dream up a new question each time.

Stålenhag was far and away my favorite sci-fi artist of 2015, and Tales From the Loop will show you why. His universe is a dystopia you wouldn’t mind exploring, one that oppresses you with mystery and beauty rather than drab soldiers or vacuous “you have this emotion, therefore you belong in this group” regimes. The Loop is sophisticated sci-fi buried under snowy Swedish dirt. And I can’t wait to dig deeper.
