As Art

Nick and John talk about the movie that brought Miyazaki out of retirement and went on to win the academy award for the best-animated feature!

Movie vs the Book: Expert Kyle has read [multiple-times] the vast majority of Dune book material. John finished the Audible book of Dune a month before the movie release, and Nick is in-progress. With this, the guys dig into a fun-and-nerdy discussion on what they noted as significant differences between the Dune 2021 movie vs the original Dune book & how the two mediums needed to approach things differently. Were the changes for the better, and were omissions sorely missed? All in this episode!

Nick and Taylor go back to 1993 to review a nostalgic classic Hocus Pocus! We see if it hold up! Some amazing 90s moments, and awesome wirework!

Princess Mononoke is a film that everyone needs to see and it's John's first time! With its epic story and breathtaking visuals, Princess Mononoke is a landmark in the world of animation.

The idea blew everyone's mind, and the technology blew aside even Star Wars at the Academy Awards. John's world was changed, Nick's was marginally affected...and Taylor -- was she even born yet?! The crew goes back to watch a mind-blowing classic...but does The Matrix Hold Up? The three share some like-minded and different views. Nick talks Matrix story "Glitches" & a lot of crazy internet-theory nonsense!

We go back to re-watch a classic! How does it hold up? A Jack Black Classic!

Blade Runner is a pretty divisive film. Some view it as the ultimate cyberpunk film and a sci-fi noir masterpiece...that did horrible at the box office. Others think it's slow and boring. In the AsArt sphere -- John adores it, Nick likes it (and has an odd obsession with Harrison Ford's "Rubber Face") -- and Taylor has hardly seen it! Does that sound like grounds for an interesting episode? Sure does!

13 years since Twilight was released we react to it after all the Hype is gone. The added bonus is that this is Nick's first time watching it. we talk about heavy breathing, amazing cheesy VFX, and the classic one-liners like " Hold on spider monkey!"

Nick, John, and Taylor enter the world (er, park?) of Jurassic Park. Join Nick and John as they look back, and with Taylor -- it's her FIRST TIME WATCHING Jurassic Park! Does it hold up, and does it hold the same impact as it did back then: Is it a T-Rex of a movie, or a Dino-Doo-Doo?

Nick, John, and Kyle play "Love, Hate, Meh" with this not-to-known bit of Star Wars history. ILM's first made-for-TV endeavor, the Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure broke new ground in certain special effects, and further established Warwick Davis (Wicket the Ewok, Willow, etc) as a consistent collaborator of George Lucas. Hear the guy's fight over story points and delve into all kinds of hilarity in this unique episode -- and check out the movie on Disney+ and add to the discussion in the comments!
