We're Watching What?!

After watching The Mitchells vs. The Machines we have to wonder: Can mixing live action into an animated movie ever work? That Marvel Studios sizzle reel giving us all the feels. Plus should you just watch Wreck-it Ralph instead of Shadow and Bone? Why are we even making such a comparison? Find out why!

Michael B. Jordan brings his acting chops to the Ryanverse (is that even a thing?) but does Tom Clancy's Without Remorse even deserve him? The Mitchells vs. The Machines is an animated delight. Four Good Days also wastes the potential of its stars.

The Falcon and the Winter Soldier wrapped up but was it tied up too neatly? Mortal Kombat is... a film. As is Stowaway (although at least that one makes a little more sense). Also we react to the bizarreness that was the 2021 Academy Awards.

2021's Mortal Kombat is on the cusp of cult terrible-greatness and Stowaway on Netflix is a bunch of very smart characters acting very stupid (in space!)

We welcome Academy Award nominated director Erick Oh (on the week of the 93rd Academy Awards!) to talk about his short animated film Opera and how it sits at the intersection of film and fine art. Also the state of the animation industry, Asian / AAPI representation, and what it's really like to have a wholly independent film suddenly recognized on a global scale.

Opera

Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker and former Pixar animator Erick Oh, ‘OPERA’ is an animation project that can be defined as a contemporary animated edition of the Renaissance fresco mural paintings. Driven by the spirits of Bosch, Michelangelo, Botticelli and more, Erick portrays, in his own signature whimsical and surreal way, the human society and history, filled with beauty and absurdity. Viewers will experience the range in-depth emotions through this epic reflection of human life: it is hopeful, comical, thoughtful, yet scary and sad. This piece is not only a living piece of art, it is an invitation to question the mechanisms of our society and human behavior. The universality of its message will inspire new perspectives on humanity and break down conversations. The full cycle of ‘OPERA’ consists of Day and Night. Each section and individual character’s activities are intrinsically connected so the viewers can eventually enjoy the entire pyramid no matter which character they set their eyes on first.

Seems like The Falcon and the Winter Soldier finally "went there" but where do they go from here? Plus the new Shang-Chi trailer and are you really a capital A Actor if you AREN'T in a Marvel film at this point? Finally our predictions for the 2021 Academy Awards

Can The Falcon and the Winter Soldier wrap up in two episodes or are they secretly setting up for a season two? How did Thunder Force go so awry? Finally we talk about if you can separate art from artist in J*ss Whed*n's newest project, The Nevers.

The women of Thunder Force have 7 Academy Award nominations (and 2 wins) between them but is their might enough? Voyagers throws a bunch of horny teens into space and the rest is chaos. Thankfully Hysterical shows we can have heart and laughs in the world of comedy.

Is The Falcon and the Winter Soldier setting up Thunderbolts? Does the new Disney+ Loki series matter or have we messed up the time stream too much? Plus a clash of titans in Godzilla vs Kong!
