May 17, 2021 The Tale of The Princess Kaguya (2013)(Princess Month #3)
Yoyoyo Snobbies! We are very excited about this episode of The Film Snobs. Today, we have Ricky's pick for Princess Month, and are diving head first into the beautiful, serene, and peaceful land of Studio Ghibli. Director Isao Takahata brings us a stunning and perfectly simple tale in "The Tale of The Princess Kaguya." Somehow, we manage to make our way through this movie without crying and talk about princess issues, flying Buddha, really bad suitors, and bamboo trees that sprout gold. So come along as Jared introduces a new segment, we find out Caleb isn't Latino, and other things I'm sure. Enjoy!

April 04, 2021 A Goofy Movie (1995) (Going on a Journey #4)
Caleb's pick for this lane of the "Going on a Journey" highway is Kevin Lima's, "A Goofy Movie." (1995). A Disney classic of the 90's kid in all of us. For those who grew up on this movie, it is a stroll down memory lane. For those who didn't, it's probably not that great. We have enough of a mix in this episode as guest star Sammie Wickham join's us on the pod to discuss murder, Powerline, Father's raising sons, and much much more.

March 22, 2021 Until the End of the World (1991) (Going on a Journey #2)
Welcome back Snobbies! Sorry for the brief hiatus. This movie was LOOOOONG. Today we have Ethan's pick for a journey film and he went with Wim Wender's four hour director's cut epic "Until the End of the World." The original cut is 2h 38m, but we watched the LOOOOONG version. It is the superior cut for sure, as we found out. In this episode, we follow our characters on an EPIC globe trotting journey of self discovery, duty, and purpose. Wim manages to weave a story that brings you along and begs questions like, "How long can Ricky do an Australian accent on the pod for?" or, "Does Caleb even like this movie?" or "Will Caleb ever watch it??" Tune in to find out answers to these questions. ENJOY!
