After multiple years and over 50 episodes Cal and Mike have decided to shake things up a bit with a brand new season and a brand new format. But before starting that we thought we’d tie up some of the loose ends of Season 1 by trying some of our finished brews.
S04E04 – The Extradition of John
Bugs arranges for Taz’s extradition to a US zoo, sends his past self to gather more treasure for an increasingly greedy Daffy, and continues to leverage Daffy’s avarice for his own ends.
S04E03 – Magic Helmet
As our iconic team finally begin their ascension to full-fledged godhood, we take a trip to Europe to see how our resident elder god is getting on, and discover a good number of folks are under Sam’s eldritch power.
4.48 – THE LION KING (2019) and Hyperrealism
This week, after some…reviews of Disney’s most recent take on THE LION KING, we talk about how colour and contrast can make or break a film, the importance of myth to the original movie, and what it means to consider style versus substance when the film is as hyperrealistic as this one.
S04E02 – Torso People
From the people who brought you Leg People come NEW Torso People – you’re two thirds of the way to a giant, bud!
S04E01 – Back in Business
In this, the first episode of season 4, we try and pick up the pace to make up for lost time and impending sequels.
4.47 – THE LION KING (1994) & Privilege
Our film this week is the 1994 award-winning classic THE LION KING. After the usual reviews, we talk about Sam’s changing ideas about the film, how it may or may not be about the growth of a character, and what it says about the role of royal privilege (not, this week in particular, an entirely irrelevant topic!).
4.46 – ALADDIN (2019) and PRETENCE
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.
4.45 – ALADDIN (1992) & Worth
This time, our focus is on the 1992 Disney film ALADDIN. After some reviews, we discuss how this is a movie about people pretending to be something they’re not.
