This week’s offering is the re-make of ALADDIN. After…mixed reviews, we talk about the ‘clean’ visuals, what it feels Disney wants from a re-make, and how watching this involves something of the same pretence shown by the characters themselves.

4.42 – THE JUNGLE BOOK (2016) & Individuality
This week’s film is the Jon Favreau live action/CGI remake of the 1967 film.
