Talk to the Audience?!? - January 2023 With Nina Matsumoto
Added 2023-01-25 07:26:19 +0000 UTCRecorded on the eve of our first live show since 2020, we're joined by Nina Matsumoto (check out her Sparks! Future Purrfect graphic novel) for this month's community podcast! We're recovering from the new year celebrations with some reactions to Simpsons news, deep dives into all the movies and TV we watched over the holidays, and we respond to some of our favorite Patreon comments. So listen here as we carefully read from a teleprompter!

Henry, since you're a Drag Race fan you might want to go back and watch the season 30 episode "Werking Mom". In it Marge is mistaken for a drag queen after getting a makeover. RuPaul and Raja guest star. It's a good one IMO.

2023-01-27 03:45:24 +0000 UTCI felt the same way about clip shows as Nina when I was a kid. I loved them because I liked seeing what was considered clip-worthy and my short attention span appreciated the quick changes. I remember when I was really little, maybe 4 or 5, I would always say “I hope they show the one with ALL the episodes,” and my parents were like “what is wrong with our child?” But it totally makes pre-DVD kid-brain sense.

2023-01-26 15:22:24 +0000 UTCThe school assembly reminiscing on this podcast sent me down a rabbit hole of Googling "Smoke Free Class of 2000" content. Unfortunately I couldn't find the song I remember them playing for us in class.

2023-01-25 21:04:28 +0000 UTCSince the two of you will be in the PNW area, it would be really cool if you did a live show up here. I'm sure there are no plans after hosting two shows plus all the traveling you've done. Just maybe something to consider.

2023-01-25 18:15:30 +0000 UTCOn Puss in Boots - I went in to this one indifferent and even a little turned off by the amount of adoration Twitter has given it for a movie tied to the Shrek universe, but by the end I was indeed won over. Completely removed in tone and style from the 2011 movie that's dropped off everyone's memories and may be one of the best things Dreamworks has put out. Some fun, Spider-verse style animation, surprisingly mature writing while still being kid-friendly, and solid villains line up. Was giggling with delight every time John Mulaney's sociopathic Jack Horner did anything. Don't think it's quite worthy of winning Best Animated compared to GDT Pinocchio or Turning Red, but was pleasantly surprised to see it made the nomination and that the Academy shunned Lightyear and Strange World (they weren't good!). One really solid Pixar/Disney film amidst stiff competition is how it should be in a standard year although ideally animated films would break the mold into other awards beyond just the one made for them.

2023-01-25 16:49:00 +0000 UTCFirst of all, Nina. Regardless of your marital status to one of the hosts, I really like you on the show. You are knowledgable and very fun guest to hear on the show. Also, if you liked Napoleon Dynamite I always recommend a movie I feel is unsung in "Nacho Libre". It's got that same sense of humor and sweetness to it and Jack Black really fits in well. Plus as a bonus for Henry it's about Luchadores.

2023-01-25 16:22:53 +0000 UTCOne of the few times a theater was dead silent was when I saw BP 2. The Marvel Studios montage of Chadwick was dead silent you could hear a pin drop...and it was opening night in a full theater.

2023-01-25 16:16:08 +0000 UTCRe: talking in the movies. Unfortunately, this long predated COVID. Witness a circa 2011 Cornell screening of REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE I was at where the local students were laughing at *everything*. We are reaping the reward of a generation fed a diet of MST3K/Rifftrax that thinks old movies only exist to be made fun of and feel superior to and that not every venue is their couch or gamer chair. [I know not *EVERY* fan is like that and sometimes that stuff fueled more historic interest, but get with the program, most people in general are idiots.] It's also a combination of the social media age - everyone's glued to a screen in isolation and has forgotten basic patron etiquette, so you do get idiots carrying on irrelevant conversations constantly. It's not really that the movie theater experience is dying, it's already dead.

2023-01-25 15:42:16 +0000 UTCthank you for saying this about velma, people need to calm the hell down. the writing is like a really really bad family guy episode....but also who cares, its freaking scooby doo. the updated art and animation is great, in my opinion

2023-01-25 15:21:00 +0000 UTCCary Grant was supposed to star in ROPE, which would've gone a long way to emphasize the subtext that the professor is fucking both the murderer students, which is washed away by Boy Scout Jimmy Stewart.

2023-01-25 14:34:29 +0000 UTCpuss n boots should win. It seriously is the best animated film of 2022. I had Turning Red as the best before seeing PnB. But Puss n Boots is better in all fronts (except maybe music, 4town got some bops)
