Film Fumblers

This week we’re talking about the visually stunning Loving Vincent. A mind blowing 65,000 hand painted frames from 125 artists created this film, but we couldn’t help but think the narrative of what those paintings showed was a little lackluster.  We wished the same amount of detail that went into the animation was consistent throughout the project, but either way watch it for the paintings alone.

Fumbler Score 7.1/10

In 1995, a tragic earthquake hit Japan and destroyed the movie studio that would have produced a live-action version of Perfect Blue. Production was stopped and funds were reallocated to create a shorter animated version of the film. Tragedy birthed one of the most original, influential, and most talked about anime films of all time. Satoshi Kon's brilliance inspired a generation of film makers and brought the world into the life of an IDOL.
 This was a fun (trippy) watch for us and really got us thinking about streamer/idol/celebrity culture that we see today. 

Fumbler Score: 8.6/10

We’re here with our first movie of aniMAYtion Shrek! It’s one of those movies that you don’t get tired of, and that’s not just nostalgia talkin. Even though the story is simplistic, the comedic timing, Disney commentary, and hell even the animation after 21 years make this baby a classic. We were surprised how well it’s held up.

Fumbler Score: 9/10

Robert Eggers is back with his 3rd film The Northman. Eggers finally gets some budget to play around with, and it really shows from the amazing cinematography, breathtaking back drops, and top notch acting. We were a little split on the Shakespearean-esque story, however.  But if you wanna just watch buff dudes be guys, this is it.

Fumbler Score: 7.8/10

It's always a special moment when you're experiencing a film and you just know it's going down as one of the GOATs. That's exactly what happened to us with Everything Everywhere All at Once. One moment you're crying from all the laughter and the next you're laughing from all the crying. The Daniels masterfully blended batshit crazy visuals with profound relate-ability. How, you ask? I don't know man, you just gotta see it to believe it.

Fumbler Score: 9.7/10.....our highest rated film ever btw

Another decade, another new actor in the Batman suit. Matt Reeves takes this one in the most grounded direction he could, but did it work? We enjoyed the look and feel of Gotham this time around, but not everything else clicked with us as a group. A lot of the problems can be dismissed by the fact that this Bruce has only been the Bat for a couple years, but only Taryn is fully convinced. Overall we liked Battinson! The runtime is going to be a point of contention for everyone, especially since its only 8(!) minutes shorter than Endgame can you believe that!

Fumbler Score: 7.0

C’mon C’mon is a movie that invites the audience to reflect. It paints familiar scenarios from both adult and child perspectives, and it rolls slowly letting you really bathe in the moments the characters are flowing through. The camera work is beautiful, with slow subtle movements and black and white presentation to minimize distractions and offer a layer of removal from reality. Yet reality is sprinkled throughout with unscripted interviews from kids around the country concerning their future. There are no huge story arcs and also no real moments of sentimentality or emotional manipulation, yet we still managed to leave this one feeling some type of way. 

C’mon C’mon enters the Fumbler Hall of Fame with a 9.1!

Don’t Look Up has been the subject of some controversy. Some calling it genius for exposing the government/Hollywood/Billionaires, and others seeing it as picking at low hanging fruit not revealing anything we didn’t already know. We try to unpack both sides and wonder if satire can work in this day and age when life is already absolutely bonkers.

Fumbler Score: 5.7

Hey Happy New Year! We’re finally back after some rest and relaxation to slash it up with Scream (2022). We didn’t expect this movie to work so well but somehow it’s pulled off. Maybe it’s the direct shots at critics and toxic fandoms and we don’t wanna be grouped in with them. It’s hard to throw in meta thing without it being too cringey, but this was done with so much fun. Will it age well? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll see when they requel it in 10 years.

Fumbler Score: 8.3/10

We’re swinging through December and that means more holiday movies. Yes, Spider-Man: No Way Home features a Christmas tree for like 3 seconds, so it counts. The hype surrounding this one was real, and dammit Marvel & co managed to pull it off! Our guests @matkinz and @jayrenteriuh help us decide whether this is a good movie or just a good marvel movie. Our score isn’t bright and shining, but this doesn’t mean we didn’t have a blast watching this bad boy in theaters. WATCH IT IN THEATERS AND AVOID SPOILERS AT ALL COSTS. You’ll be rewarded with the sweet sounds of the audience screaming. 

Fumbler Score: 7.6/10
