Part-Time Characters

How many 2016 movies did you mean to watch but never got around to it? In this week's episode, we discuss movies from last year we only recently saw for the first time. We also talk about movies we rewatched and if our opinions changed at all.

We start all the way back in January 2016 with movies like The Revenant and Kung Fu Panda and finish with the end of year Oscar Nominees like Hidden Figures, Moonlight and La La Land.

It should be warned this episode was recorded back in October, a few weeks after Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico. We just want to let you know the audio might be a little off and you will hear a lot of nature and background noise. Just imagine you are camping with us, if that helps in any way.

ANNOUNCEMENT: We are thinking of making a confession game. We are going to leave our anonymous confessions here (all related to movies or celebrities) and in the next episode, we will read them and try to decipher who confessed what. The whole point is to bluff and make sure people don't guess our confession. You can leave yours as well and confuse us. When we play the game, you can admit to your confession in the comment section. Click here to register and confess!

It is that time of year when Pixar brings us an original animated movie and as expected, we all went un poco loco for Coco. Joined by our 'general manager' or  better  known  as  that Pixar Theory Guy, Jon Negroni, we discuss the film's design, music and characters.  We start off the episode with a quick game of Lightning Round where we ask the question: What is your favorite Pixar character?

We move on to talk about the originality of Coco's premise and if it's in any way similar to The Book of Life. We also discuss the main characters and if the portrayal of the family is a bit vague or just right. Also, Jon elaborates on how Coco might fit into the Pixar Theory's timeline.

In our shortest episode to date, Bridget, Adonis and I talk about superhero movies, both Marvel and DC. Adonis does his best to defend Justice League and their CGI over Henry Caville's moustache and Bridget pretends she is not head over heels over Thor. Neither were very successful.

Before we get into any of the superhero stuff, we break the ice playing a short Lightning Round. The question: What movie has made you cry?

It's been a little while, but Part-Time Characters is back, and they've taken on a heavy task: deciding what their top 10 favorite movies of the 1980s are! Adonis, Bridget, and Sam hash out their lists, and there are plenty of surprises along the way.Send us a message!

This week on Part-Time Characters we delve into the old movie shelf and pick up some classic movies to talk about. Yup! It is time for our third Retro Reviews episode! Bridget talks about a sci-fi classic, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Jenny watched the strangest movie ever made, Fantastic Planet, Sam watched one of the most praised musicals, Sound of Music, and I (Maria) watched the great Mifune in Yojimbo.

We also Comment on your Comments from last week's episode of Horror Remakes and reviewing IT. There is also an open invitation to our friend Kayla to talk about animes, the good, the bad and the oh so weird.

We end the episode with a quick view of movie releases for the week of September 22nd, including movies like Kingsman: The Golden Circle, The Battle of the Sexes and some LEGO movie.

Quick announcement: We were thinking about starting a new type of episode where we focus on just one movie for 45 minutes and talk about it in depth. We are still brainstorming which movies would be great to talk about for a long period of time. If you like this idea, leave us some movie suggestions in the comments. Next week we will create a poll for you to vote on the movie you'd like to hear us talk about.Send us a message!

Reviewing the new adaption of IT and discussing horror movie remakes

We didn't want season seven to end and go unnoticed by Part-Time Characters. Bridget and Maria get together one last time to recap the season finale of Game of Thrones, The Dragon and the Wolf. The main characters finally leave their usual locations and meet in King's Landing to discuss alliances and joining forces to fight the army of the dead.

Bridget continues to be upset about the lack of hypothermia and direwolves. Maria tries to dissuade her anger to no success. They celebrate Sansa's actions and condemn Cersei's total lack of logic. Bran finally speaks about Jon but Jon is getting busy- erm I mean, he's busy.

Thank you for joining us for every episode recap. It has made the enjoyment of this season a million times better.

This week the Part-Time Characters get together and discuss some of the best scifi films from the 1970s and how their creativiy paved the way for other amazing classics. Close Encounters of the Third Kind is celebrating its 40th anniversary which inspired Sam to select this week's topic and show Bridget and Maria how many 70's movies they need to watch.

We also introduce a new segment to start the conversation called Lightning Round. Basically, we select a topic (this week we chose our favorite villains we love to hate) and we quickly select and talk about the first villain that comes to mind. We do another bonus round for any honorable mentions that come up in the process. Let us know what you think about this segment and if you'd like to hear more of it.

For this week's episode, Bridget and Sam tackle the paradoxical use of time travel in some of our favorite movies. They each pick their best and worst movies that use time travel correctly. For the record, they don't mean to say these movies are necesarily bad or incredible, just that they weren't as accurate about time travel as other movies have been.

Be warned! They discuss many movie spoilers but no need to worry. Check out our show notes at the bottom for the exact time where spoilers are discussed. 

Question of the Week: What are you best or worst movies about time travel?
