Oh boy you thought Black Swan was a mess just wait. A Netflix release that made ripples (at best) upon its release that clearly had aspirations of being important and talked about by viewers. Which in a way it did achieve, but was it worth it?

Ooooooooooooooooh boy the notorious confusing ballet movie I'm sure that there was no issues with the scenes and capacity to follow along with at least one of our hosts. Jokes aside we try to sift through the many ideas to discuss how well Black Swan dances on the stage of showing the dangers of perfection.

Look we willing dug up trauma during this movie and we're gonna talk about it. The movie that is, and a bit of the trauma for context. The first of many trips we're gonna do into the idea and destruction of seeking perfection in an art form, figured we'd best start with some thing jazz-y and a tad more approachable.

So this franchise happened and we must discuss how and why it happened. Why of all franchises to buck the trend of getting worse with each sequel was it this? Come let's look back on this hecking thing and try to explain this phenomenon in the Dreamworks canon.

At the end of the road we finally finish out this trilogy of films with as boyband reunion. A film tied into a nostalgia that the market group would not have and mixed with songs that technically exist. Join us as we escape this brightly coloured felt world and all its new and horrifying additions to its own lore.

So this was unexpected in sop many ways, an actual good, enjoyable and dare we say rewatchable. Trust us we were just as shocked but this film actually has something you just need to trust us and go on this road trip with us.

So in a scientific way we try to understand what the hell went on to make these movies a franchise and whether or not they are a subject of bad marketing, bad film making or just being for a much younger crowd than the regular movie going audience.

Well this one wasn't at all an odd jump in for us. I mean a sequel show to something that ended when we were only 2, how were we not meant to just be able to understand everything happening immediately upon starting. So in the rare moment of us being much closer to the everyman we sat down and watched the most recent X-men animated show.

If one must have an introduction to the X-men let it be this classic from the early 2000's, bias is strong and determined but can the show hold up to modern eyes? How does X-men Evolution hold up to it's own internal changes? Does it suffer the way the films do? All that and more...but mostly that.

Please forgive the dead air from 58:33 - 58:50 apologists for these movies killed the device for fear of the truth. That these two movies do not hold up. While they achieved their goal of removing one of the worst films from canon their multitude of sin both their own and from their predecessors cannot be overlooked anymore.
