Screen Cleaning

Since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs Disney has been the name in animation. But there is so much more out there. Today we speak with former industry man turned college professor Kelly Loosli about his time in LA and some of his favorite animated features. Then Jeff and Cole discus the different kinds of animation like stop motion, computer generated, rotoscoping, and of course traditional hand drawn as well. The Oscars will be giving their award for best animated feature AND short at the end of the month, so we also spend a little time talking about our favorite Pixar shorts. The Super Bowl was the big news in entertainment this week, even if you didn’t watch for the sports, there were commercials, trailers, and live music performances (even featuring a famous animated character). We give our thoughts and also preview next week’s Valentine special of Screen Cleaning.

It's coooold out there and Happy Groundhog Day. Sonny and Cher's music will forever be associated with the Bill Murray comedy and today we are going to talk about other great movie soundtracks.

Also we share the best news from the week including quite a bit of news from one comic book studio. Then Jeff reviews The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part and They Shall Not Grow Old.

Our host Jeff Simpson is an amazing dad. Most of the time. Sometimes his enthusiasm to share great movies with his young kids can get the best of him. But we are problem solvers here at Screen Cleaning, so we gathered some other movie loving dads from the office to help! Movie reviewers Shawn O’Neill and Rod Gustafson join Jeff and Cole on the show to share some movie sharing regrets and to offer some experience after raising a few kids of their own. Also on the show Jeff gives a review of the new kids movie out this weekend The Kid Who Would Be King. We also cover the best in entertainment news as usual, but this week that means Oscar Nomination reactions. And Producer Mickey lets us know what happens when those awards shows just can't quite decide on a winner.

America has Hollywood, big summer blockbusters, and the Oscars. It is where our Screen Cleaning team lives and speaks English. But there is literally a whole world of cinema outside that we are opening our borders to today. Jeff, Cole, and Producer Mickey watched three films each from nine different countries total just to talk about them today. Also Mickey hit the streets to find out why typical people don't like foreign language films. Is it really that bothersome to read a movie? Also don't miss the news of the week and a review of the new release Glass (along with a fun feature on the other films and twists from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan). Finally Jeff Pans for Good with the movie Selma before this MLK day weekend.

The Happiest Place on Earth can sometimes be a crazy place. People that go to Disneyland can get a few different experiences, but most just go for the rides. Benjamin Thevenin headed a team at BYU creating an app that enhances the Disney experience. It adds a layer of augmented reality called Dark Ride Disneyland. Then Jeff puts his Southern California roots to the test talking about old Disney park rides and trivia. Also we review the Upside and hear from Rod Gustafson for a review of On the Basis of Sex expanding to wide release today. Enjoy the full Disney experience on Screen Cleaning.
