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.
4.44 – BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (2017) & Loneliness
This week our focus is he 2017 live-action version of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
4.43 – BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (1991) & The Outsider
This week’s film is one of Rob’s favourite Disney films (so no pressure, there) 1991’s BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.
4.42 – THE JUNGLE BOOK (2016) & Individuality
This week’s film is the Jon Favreau live action/CGI remake of the 1967 film. After some opening reviews (and Sam admitting that he might have given the film too much credit), we talk — in one of our more cerebral chats — about selfishness, understanding, and change, particularly in our reading of the end of the film.
