The Other Half

I Lost My Body is a French animated film that was modeled in 3D beforehand and then painted over. It's like rotoscoping! It's right up Ethan and Mike's ally, but are they going to enjoy the tale of Naoufel's hand trying to get back to his body? How could they not? Even the Academy gave it a nomination for the best-animated movie!

Swiped may be the most poorly written, poorly acted, poorly delivered movie since we watched Love on a Leash. It's about a nerd who made a hook-up app that he later regrets! You should honestly just go watch it on Netflix. It's cheap, the premise makes no sense and none of the characters act like real people.

While watching A Whisker Away, it dawns on Ethan and Mike, they are finally not watching masterpiece level anime for the podcast. A Whisker Away centers around a spunky girl who just can't make a friend at school. She wishes her crush would like her, but maybe if she became a cat, her crush would like her more..... This is something that would only make sense to a middle school student.

This anime is goofy, but has some neat character designs and a few moving moments in it, but the main message gets muddled in an overly dramatic love affair.

Oh hey it's still Netflix month so you can catch this movie on there.

The boys dive into a biopic about Rudy Ray Moore's quest to make a movie in Dolemite Is My Name. It's like The Disaster Artist if the main character was actually likable and you rooted for him. Rudy Ray Moore, played by Eddie Murphy, is a black entertainer who makes a name for himself in the independent comedy scene after creating a character named Dolemite.

Honestly, it's a heartwarming movie and worth viewing in 2020.

Ruh-roh, what if the Hanna Barbera cinematic universe is doomed because Scoob! released during a global pandemic? Or what if it's doomed because Scoob! isn't a good movie?!

The boys both have differing opinions on previous Scooby-Doo iterations, but they seem to find common ground on this newly released animated feature. Despite a brand new cast doing a pretty good job and some great visual gags, this is a Scooby Snack you may want to avoid.

Leaving Las Vegas is a depressing movie. It was maybe a rough watch to see Nicolas Cage playing an alcoholic in what be his most perfectly cast role. Elisabeth Shue playing a sex worker is also an amazing performance.

What's even more depressing is the writer of this movie's life. Man it's a fantastic movie though, but the plot is certainly a bummer.

Phelan joins the podcast to talk about What a Girl Wants! It's one of those movies where a clumsy American girl goes to Britain because she wants to find her dad. Turns out dad is not only Colin Firth, but dad is also royalty! But poor Amanda Bynes doesn't fit in with British royalty so that's where the conflict comes in. Does she stay true to herself or blend in to make her new dad happy?

Also her boyfriend in this movie sucks.

Serenity is absolutely wild and we love it.

What's wild in a bad way and something we don't love is police brutality.

It's wrong for innocent protesters standing up to tyranny to have to sit in jail because they can't afford bail.

For this episode of May-usical, the boys traveled to Ireland in the modern musical Once! Made on a shoestring budget with musicians playing as actors, Once follows a down on his luck musician who finds a connection with a Hungarian immigrant. She brings the musical spark back to him. It's a fantastic end to a wonderful month!

Ethan also talks about that one time he was a busker.

Double the Annie! For this episode of May-usical, we decided to have a little fun and pull a gimmick off that we did for the Miracle on 34th Street! We watched the first half of the original and the other half of the remake.

Annie is one of the most famous musicals and has seeped into so many aspects of our culture. This could be because it's great for children or the fact that the songs are catchy. But does it live up to the hype? Or does the 2014 reboot deserve all the hate it gets?
