Episode 81: Fantastic Mr. Fox
What’s good, homies? This week we’re diving into Wes Anderson’s fun, visually striking, and wholesome animated comedy film “Fantastic Mr. Fox” starring George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Dafoe, and more. Written by Wes Anderson and Noah Baumbach, this stop-motion adaptation of a story by Roald Dahl goes incredibly hard, looks amazing, and is so much fun to watch. What the cuss are you waiting for? Press play!
In this episode, we share what we love about this movie, break down the film’s plot, explore Wes Anderson’s visual style and how it translates to stop-motion, express our admiration for the cast's vocal performances and our favourite characters, unpack the film’s critical success and strange commercial failure, and praise the sound design and soundtrack. We also praise some of the hilarious physical and sight gags in the film, the emotional undercurrents of the film, the sharp dialogue, and the film’s near-perfect runtime. Then we do a brief dive into Wes Anderson’s career, discuss our favourites from his filmography, and Otis argues about “The French Dispatch” and that Wes Anderson needs to try something new. This movie rules and we cannot fathom why so few people have seen it. It’s the perfect family or date night movie and hits all the right notes. Get into it.
We end the episode with a conversation about some things that we’ve seen, played, and listened to this week including “Tár”, “Speak No Evil”, “God Of War: Ragnarok”, “Detroit: Become Human”, the two final BROCKHAMPTON albums, Nas and Hitboy’s third “King’s Disease” offering, and more. Plus, PALMREADER shares some updates as he has been busy working on the next Anxiety Weekend release and Otis has some more music on the way.
We’ll be back next week with Sideshow Trice to talk about Canadian rapper “Classified” and the “be. a. trice.” EP.
