Beating a Dead Horse episodes
- Kubo and the Two Strings - A Nexus of Storytelling and Theology
The Laika Discourse continues with the wonderful Kubo and the Two Strings. But it wouldn't be Discourse without one of us opening our big stupid mouths to talk about death.
54 min - Akira (1988) - Japanese Fascism, Nuclear Bombs, and Finding God
Hooooo boy do we cover a lot while talking about Akira. From the obvious to the theological, we've got it all.
59 min - One Cut of the Dead - The Most Unique Zombie Movie in Years
One Cut of the Dead is unique, no getting around that. Shot in only a single take, it manages to feel tense and scary, but also overly long and kind of bad? And yet, we can't recommend it strongly enough for being a weird, great movie.
1 hr 2 min - Silence of the Lambs - The Realty of Serial Killers
Yes, we spelled the title right.
This week, we get serious and delve into a new problematic fave, Silence of the Lambs. But we also spend a solid 10 minutes of the episode talking about realty, so maybe not too serious.
57 min - Paranorman - OooOOoooOOoo Spooky Trauma
Sorry about that title, but I promise this is a good episode, despite how much Sean thinks it sucks in the opening minutes. We're talking Paranorman, a genuinely unnerving kids movie that either sticks the landing or stumbles just a bit, depending on which of us you ask.
58 min - Tucker and Dale VS Evil - Peak 2010
Positive September clashes with the Spooky Month, giving us the perfect excuse to go back and watch Tucker and Dale VS Evil. And, hey, it holds up really well! ....mostly.
53 min - JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders - Killers and Family and Invisible Babies, oh my!
Whelp, it's back. After nearly a year in-between parts, we've returned to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure to talk about Part 4.
And hey, it's actually pretty good!
1 hr 5 min - Speed Racer (2008) - This one is for Tony Hawk
Listen, Speed Racer is an excellent movie, one we both love a lot. But Sean goes off the rails and talks a lot about skateboarding in this one, which means we absolutely need Tony Hawk to listen to it and confirm his theories.
1 hr 2 min - Kiki's Delivery Service - A Perfect Morsel of Joy
Do... Do y'all remember what happiness felt like? Because we completely forgot until Kiki's Delivery Service came and served us up a hot steaming plate of joy.
47 min - Little Shop of Horrors (1986) - Oh No Is This Racist
Light and Fun September starts with the classic musical film Little Shop of Horrors, a fun movie about a singing plant that eats people. It is interesting that it's Black coded though... and.. oh no. Is this racist?
