Amazon’s hit video game adaptation, Fallout, took players and viewers back to the Mojave Wasteland for it’s second season, not seen since 2010’s Fallout New Vegas. With returning showrunners Greg Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet continuing the story of the games, Fallout New Vegas fans like myself were treated to a number of slightly different but still awe inspiring recreations of some of New Vegas’ most iconic locations and characters, and examining the world after Courier 6’s escapades. Join us and our Friends Bunny and Sean as we break down what we loved about this season.

Frank Capra brings to life Joseph Kesselring’s 1941 stage farce Arsenic and Old Lace. Written in the late 30’s , the film follows the Brewster family, descendants of the Mayflower “settlers”. To some like scholar Matthew C. Gunter the film acts as a commentary on the formation of the United States and the stark contrast between America’s freedom and the violent colonization of the country.
 
The film is produced by Capra and former Warner Bros. President Jack L. Warner, with screenplay adaptation written by Julius J. and Philip G. Epstein. The film’s Cinematographer is Sol Polito, edited by Daniel Mandell, and music by Max Steiner.

The film stars Cary Grant, Priscilla Lane, Raymond Massey, Josephine Hull, Jean Adair, John Alexander, Jack Carson and Peter Lorre.

This week we had a good time watching Chris Sanders' (Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods) adaptation of Peter Brown’s 2016 New York Times Best Seller “The Wild Robot” to the big screen in spectacular fashion. Exploring the intersection of technology and nature, the beautifully and painterly animated feature follows Roz, a lost delivery of Rozzum support robots. It’s a beautiful reflection of motherhood, the impacts of climate change, and coming of age with almost TOO much heart. 

The film is produced by Jeff Hermann, Cinematography from Chris Stover, Edited by Mary Blee, Music by Kris Bowers, and was the final film animated in house at DreamWorks with Additional character rigging from Stim Studio.

The movie stars Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, Catherine O’Hara, Bill Nighy, Stephine Hsu, Mark Hamill, Matty Berry, Ving Rhames, and Randy Thom.

Over the holidays we finally caught up on some Netflix movies and there was only one that was recommended so repeatedly by our friends. We knew they were probably right, but hot damn were they RIGHT. Sony Pictures Animation’s "KPop Demon Hunters" is an instant classic that has all of the best hallmarks of an original animated film. Directed and Written by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans the film was co-written by Danya Jimenez and Hannah McMechan.

The movie was animated by Sony Pictures Imageworks under the direction of Josh Beveridge. This movie is a flashy full blown KPop Musical with original songs written by Danny Chung, Ido, Vince, Kush, Ejae, Jenna Andrews, Stephen Kirk, Lindgren, Mark Sonnenblick, and Daniel Rojas.

Produced by Michelle Wong. Cinematography by Gary H. Lee. Edited by Nathan Schauf. Score by Marcelo Zarvos

Half KPop/half demon hunter Girl band, Huntrix consists of Rumi (Voiced by Arden Cho, Singing by Ejae) the lead vocalist and nepo-baby. Mira (voiced by May Hong, singing by Audrey Nuna) as the main dancer and rebellious black sheep of her wealthy family. and Zoey (Voiced by Ji-Young Yoo, singing by Rei Ami) the groups rapper and lyricist and is the youngest member of the group who was torn between where she was raised in Burbank, California family’s homeland.

Opposing Huntrix the half KPop/all demon boy band is the Saja Boys. The groups leader is Jinu (Voiced by Ahn Hyo-Seop, singing by Andrew choi) He is joined by Romance Saja (Joel Kim Booster/Samuil Lee), Mystery Saja (Alan Lee/Kevin Woo), Abby Saja (SungWon Cho, Neckwav) and Baby Saja (Danny Chung).

During the holiday’s I decided the most reasonable film to introduce to Bob is a live action adaptation of a beloved children’s story. While the children’s story itself is beloved, Ron Howard’s (Willow, Apollo 13, Da Vinci Code) 2000’s “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” is a nausea inducing, endlessly quotable, fever dream of a film. Why you ask? Because the same guy that produced The Da Vinci Code, Kindergarten Cop, Apollo 13, two Nutty Professor Films, and Liar Liar decided that both this (and more specifically it’s 60’s animated tv special) and Dr.Seuss’ arguably second most iconic book “The Cat in the Hat” needed to introduce the world to brain rot.

The screen play was written by a writing duo Jeffrey L Price & Peter S Seaman (Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Wild Wild West), with unhinged cinematography from Don Peterman (When a Stranger Calls, Flashdance, Star Trek 4, Planes, Trains, and Automobiles, Addams Family Values, Men in Black, Mighty Joe Young) with editing by long time Ron Howard collaborators Dan Hanley and Mike Hill (All of Ron Howards films through 2016) and music by one of my favorite composers, James Horner (Aliens, Field of Dreams, Apollo 13, Casper, Jumanji, The Amazing Spider-Man)

While the film features a large ensemble of Whos in Whoville the main cast consists of Jim Carrey buried in Rick Baker’s and Gail Rowell-Ryan’s Oscar winning completely practical Grinch suit and makeup. Taylor Momsen as Cindy Lou Who, Christine Baranski as Martha May Whovier, Bill Irwin as Postmaster Lou Lou Who, Molly Shannon as Betty Lou Who, Clint Howard as Whobris (the mayor’s assistant), and literal POS Jeffrey Tambor (whose misconduct came to light in 2017) as Mayor Augustus MayWho.

Spoilers ahead for "Frankenstien" is Guillermo del Toro’s latest and frankly stunning adaptation after his 2022 stop motion “Pinocchio”. Based on Mary Shelley’s 1818 “Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus” told in 3 parts. The prelude introducing us to current day 1857 as a Royal Danish Navy ship is trapped in the ice as the monster attacks, Young Victor’s tragic upbringing from the moment his mother dies in child birth through the explosion of the tower, and the creature’s tale picking up from his narrow escape from the exploding castle, the finding of a friend, and his confrontation with his creator in the arctic.

The film is produced by del Toro, J. Miles Dale (The Shape of Water, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle), and Scott Stuber (2010’s Wolfman, Ted, Ted 2).

The Cast consists of Oscar Isaac as Dr. Victor Frankenstein, Jacob Elordi as the Monster, Mia Goth pulling double duty as both soon to be sister-in-lay Lady Elizabeth Harlander and Baroness Claire Frankenstein. Felix Kammerer as younger brother William, David Bradley as the Blind Man, Lars Mikkelsen as Danish Captain Anderson, Charles Dance as victor’s father, Baron Leopold Frankenstein, and Christoph waltz as Henrich Harlander.

Cinematography by Dan Laustsen (Silent Hill, Crimson Peak, John Wick (2,3,4)) Edited by Evan Schiff and Music by Alexandre Desplat (The Golden Compass, Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Fantastic Mr Fox, Pinocchio)

We're back and we're cartoons! While we aren't committing to weekly releases, we're planning on getting a couple of episodes out every month! This week we're talking about the 2 part film adaptation of Wicked! Our thoughts on the films, our overall love of Oz since a young age, and whether we think the movie is better than the stage show.

"Wicked" and "Wicked: For Good" are Directed by Jon M. Chu, Composed by John Powell and Stephen Schwartz, Produced by Marc Platt and David Stone with Screenplay by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox based on both "Wicked" by Stephen Schawartz and the novel "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire. The films  star Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba Thropp and Ariana Grande as Glinda Upland, with Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum.
