Married to the Idea

It's another battle of Book vs Movie, with Disney's A Wrinkle in Time. Does the movie manage to keep the spirit of the book as a faithful adaptation? Does it stand on its own merit, or does it tesser too far? *SPOILERS*

Sorry for being away, but we return with gifts - a doozy of a romantic comedy, replete with scripted scenarios and a couple who hates each other until they love each other. Has Leap Year ruined rom-coms for us forever? Let's find out!

We wrap up the month of love with The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, the award winning sci-fi romance anime. How does it stack up against other anime and romance movies, and does it manage to avoid the tropes of both?

For our next entry in the Month of Love, we look at the Academy Award nominee that was said to bring back the movie musical: Moulin Rouge. Does the fun jukebox soundtrack, interesting lead actors, and colorful atmosphere atone for the shallow side characters, simplistic plot, and truly bonkers editing? Let's find out!

Next up in our month of love - we pair up with returning guests and fellow couple Allie and Michael from The Apothecary Bee to discuss the romantic, sadistic, existential, wonderful Groundhog Day for its 25th anniversary.

We take a look at one of the very first rom-coms ever made, that no one wanted to be a part of, yet won all the Oscars, and see what made it so special. *SPOILERS*

The nominees for Best Animated Movie have been announced, and since this year we actually watched the other films besides the requisite Disney/Pixar entry, we have A LOT to say about the academy's 2018 choices. *NO SPOILERS*

We discuss the fan-requested Explorers, and answer if its third act tonal shift is too silly, or just silly enough, to make this a nostalgic classic. Shoutout to Nick and Greg at www.youtube.com/channel/UCdag5tctQHLODyHgiG92IPA/featured for requesting this feature!

Family, music, and the land of the dead - with so many similarities, which of these two animated interpretations of Mexican culture will come out on top?

Romance, mockumentary, sci-fi and more - we tackle all variety of movies from 2017 that we devoured during our holiday vacation for a chock-full season two opener! *SPOILERS*
