Billy Poobah Lives

danmeth:

The British newspaper “The Guardian” wrote a little article about my pop-cultural charts this weekend :

“Dan Meth is a web cartoonist with a rep for funny viral films, but you may know him best for the pop culture charts that are among the most linked to blog entries in the history of the internet ever. Entries include a Venn diagram of early Beach Boys lyrics, a map of sitcom locations and a film trilogy meter ranking them in order of greatness (the second in a series is invariably better than the original; the third never is). Meth’s most recent, The Futuristic Movie, is, he says, “by far the geekiest thing I’ve ever done”, and charts and ranks when sci-fi movies were made and when they were set. Getting close are the future settings for Blade Runner (2019), Rollerball (2018) and Back To The Future (2015), when we’ll finally be able to get those hoverboards and self-lacing trainers.”
