The P - no, wait. The ach....nah. The Adventures of A-dammit. Achmed THE PRINCE IT IS. Next week - a double episode of Pink Floyd's The Wall and Svankmajer's Alice.

Just have that Home Alone reboot for Disney+ in your head and see if your mind syncs with ours on this one.

This is the episode where we rip apart the new Lion King movie and talk the Cats trailer - the most timestamped podcast ever. And then Austin fucks it up by recommending HANNIBAL IN 2019???

cw: extended discussion of transphobia on this episode

This week's episode is a deep dive through what in the heck is going on in Tokyo Godfathers. We ended up loving it - but it's a journey to get there. Oh, and we stand in solidarity with the Amazon strike, but that's not in the episode.

cw for rape and sexploitation in our discussion of Belladonna of Sadness, from 39:00-43:300.

This week, despite some technical difficulties, we dive into Laika, money, movies that almost get there, and Neil Gaiman in our discussion of 2009's horror-fantasy Coraline. Celebrating the gorgeous modeling and art of Henry Selick butts heads with the way we've been able to take our past two episodes very seriously on a philosophical and political level. Fighting for stop-motion comes off less angry than our pan of Belladonna of Sadness!

The first super R-Rated movie to hit the season comes tumbling down. I don't really know what you'll get out of this if you haven't watched the saga. It's on Netflix now.

This is a fairly spoiler-heavy discussion right away, so go see the movie if you haven't - we all loved it. We talk the fugitive Forky, voice performances, themes, theories, and try to decide where this journey all comes tumbling down. (Yes, next week - The End of Evangelion.)

We tear through our discussion of the first three Toy Story films in perhaps our most effusive and detailed episode yet. Toys, guys. They're good. The team tries to narrow down not whether or not Toy Story will be on the bracket, but how many will be on the bracket.

In this next week, we'll be uploading our response to Toy Story 4 (spoilers: go see it.) And next week, we'll be talking the newly Netflix-uploaded film The End of Evangelion - the series of 26 episodes (and the 64 minute recap film, Death of Evangelion) are up alongside, so know there might be more to watch this week.

We go LONG on NIMH because we also just want to talk Don Bluth, a man of contradictions and sad ends. After declaring war on Dom DeLuise, Joey updates us on How To Train Your Dragon - The Hidden World and fears about ol' Dreamworks's future.

This week, we take a dip into the work of anime auteur Masaaki Yuasa with his first family-friendly film, Lu Over The Wall! We gush about this one a lot - then, we talk about his work more broadly, digging into a transphobic thorn in Night is Short, Walk On Girl's otherwise lovely canvas.
