Hannah Gatsby doesn’t try to hide her grudge against Netflix in the opening minutes of Hannah Gatsby’s Gender Agenda. As it happens, the new comedy special is produced by Netflix, and Gatsby, being a veteran in the stand-up comedy space, does the very right (and smart) thing by bringing up the origin story of it. It began with a very famous artist doing an anti-trans comedy special, which infuriated the LGBTQ community all over the world. Gatsby, who had already propelled herself into the stand-up comedy landscape thanks to her very viral Nanette, which should probably be considered one of the greatest stand-up specials of our time, didn’t wage a full-blown war against Netflix at first. All they did was an Instagram post, which was eventually brought to light by the Russians, as Gatsby says, and they ended up in a conversation with Netflix CEO Ted Sarabdos.

Digimon: The Movie. Angela Anaconda.
“Two properties tied together by forces beyond their control. You could even call it destiny.”
That’s how Angela Anaconda expert Alexandra Bender summarized the intertwined legacy of these two franchises and its spot on. In 2000, Digimon: The Movie premiered in theaters but before fans could watch the flawless masterpiece they were greeted with an unexpected Angela Anaconda short film that in the years since has drawn no shortage of ire.
The four-minute short features the characters and distinctive cutout animation of the Angela Anaconda TV series, which at that time was airing on the same network as the Digimon series, Fox Kids. The plot focuses on the titular Angela in her attempts to get a good seat for Digimon: The Movie, “the best movie of all time.” (Angela has excellent taste.) However, Angela’s mortal enemy, Nanette, is able to snag a better seat and block her view.
