Verbal Diorama episodes:

March 09, 2023Wayne's World
Party on Wayne, and Party on Garth - it's only Aurora's finest basement-dwelling public access cable show. Wayne's World! Wayne's World. Party time. Excellent!
From its beginnings as a Saturday Night Live sketch, to its democratization of America's cable public access TV network, arguably Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar were the YouTubers of their day, and probably also invented podcasts... maybe...
But Wayne's World, for all its humour, pop culture references, fourth wall breaking, introducing the world to megababe Tia Carrere (SCHWING!) and satirization of media and product placement, actually wasn't a particularly easy film to make. Feuding leads, a first-time studio director, bereavement and a big name star post-sex tape scandal may not seem like a recipe for box-office success, but Wayne's World defied its critics to inspire a generation of millennials, and would resurrect Queen's music career in the US, thanks to a certain iconic head banging scene.
But will this episode have the sad ending, the Scooby-Doo ending, or the mega happy ending? Diddly doo, diddly doo, diddly doo, diddly doo....
I would love to hear your thoughts on Wayne's World !

February 23, 2023Tangled
Seven A.M., the usual morning line-up, start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean, polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up, sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15
And so I read a book, or maybe two or three, I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery, I'll play guitar and knit, and cook and basically
Just wonder when will my life begin?
Tangled's life began like every other Disney movie. In fact, it was quite similar to Enchanted; a live-action/animation hybrid called Rapunzel Unbraided.
Rapunzel Unbraided would become Rapunzel, which would become Tangled, and unlike Rapunzel's 70ft golden locks, it's a bit of a messy story, with lots of change behind the scenes, lots of delays and a lot of talk of "four quadrant appeal".
Tangled's long, arduous production would lead to it becoming the most expensive animated film ever made - a feat shared with The Lion King (2019), and it would also pave the way for Walt Disney Animation Studio's highest grossing animated film since The Lion King (1994)...
I would love to hear your thoughts on Tangled !

February 09, 2023The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! / The Pirates! Band of Misfits
One doesn't know why. Perhaps it's his luxuriant beard, or his gleaming teeth, or the way he smells faintly of coconuts, but we have taken a shine to this pirate.
With different names depending on where you are in the English-speaking world, The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! (or The Pirates! Band of Misfits) already feels like an anomaly in Aardman's stellar back catalogue.
Based on the best-selling books by Gideon Defoe, who also writes the screenplay, The Pirates feels similar, yet also vastly (or should that be avastly?) different to the rest of its Aardman cousins. It's not set in the UK, for a start, and it was a wildly ambitious project; the biggest thing the team at Aardman had ever achieved.
It was a movie of many firsts for the company, including the first (and only) Aardman movie to offend the leprosy community.
I would love to hear your thoughts on The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists! / The Pirates! Band of Misfits !

February 02, 2023Perfect Blue
Satoshi Kon's debut feature-length animated movie is often cited as not just as masterpiece of animation, but a masterpiece of cinema full stop.
Darren Aronofsky, in particular, has not only credited Perfect Blue as inspiration for a scene in Requiem for a Dream, there are also striking similarities between Perfect Blue and his Oscar-winning psychological horror Black Swan. Mima and Nina, anyone?
Controversies aside, Perfect Blue was made on the cusp of the home internet revolution, and horrifically depicts a young woman being judged, stalked and harassed online. Kon wanted to highlight concerns over otaku, the groups of fans becoming obsessed with certain media, but as genius as Satoshi Kon was, even he couldn't have predicted how serious online toxic fan culture would become.
I would love to hear your thoughts on Perfect Blue !

January 26, 2023The Emperor's New Groove
The Emperor's New Groove, unfortunately lumbered as part of the blame for the beginning of the end of Disney's Renaissance period, is actually three movies in one:
The original movie that was never made, Kingdom of the Sun
The movie we got
And the documentary that Disney does not want you to see, The Sweatbox

In this episode, I'm going to be telling you about all three; plus the alleged DreamWorks plan by ex-Disney chief Jeffrey Katzenberg to beat Disney to release with The Road to El Dorado, the fact The Emperor's New Groove didn't have a script until two weeks after it was released, and how The Emperor's New Groove accurately predicted the tonal change to Hollywood animation in the 2000s.
If anyone asks you how did Disney managed to make The Emperor’s New Groove, you could just refer them to this episode, or you could simply say “well, ya got me, by all accounts, it doesn’t make sense”.
I would love to hear your thoughts on The Emperor's New Groove !
