135 - The Boss Baby: Family Business (feat. Patrick Willems)
Added 2024-04-24 07:00:09 +0000 UTCPatrick Willems (Night of the Coconut) returns to finish some unfinished business as he and the lads fight off the deep conservatism and unending baby ninja armies of Dreamworks’ 2021 babypalooza: The Boss Baby: Family Business. Topics include the nebulous target audience, the uncanny animation, and the consequences of pivoting from the increasingly bonkers Boss Baby lore to the terrors of…school choice???

I have tried to listen to this one multiple times because if you step away or lose track of the boss babies bosses non-baby (boss) nomenclature the rest of the show becomes incomprehensible.

2024-04-27 13:23:39 +0000 UTCAJ. I need you to know. That real horse corner was one of the most uncomfortable things you've ever made me sit through. And yes, that includes every single one of our childhood experiences together. Yes, even that one.

2024-04-27 03:51:55 +0000 UTCSo here's the thing: as vile as it was, the second (real) horse corner was extremely insightful and reminded me that maybe dreamworks didn't just make Ice Age and Prince of Egypt. Maybe AJ could get it out of his system if he just had the chance. 🎶oooooh yeah🎶

2024-04-27 03:51:34 +0000 UTCI'm picturing the Boss Baby riots like the Shoko Asuhara trial in Japan, everyone wearing giant plaster heads.

2024-04-27 02:13:44 +0000 UTCI almost didn't post this because I thought it was too rude and then the second whorse corner played and I realized that wasn't a limitation.

2024-04-25 15:06:07 +0000 UTCit's hard to feel too bad for someone with complete creative control and a castle in ireland, but movies like this using her work as a cheap gag do such a disservice to Enya - a studio innovator and world-class vocalist, the original and best pastel goth, a true original who's miraculously managed to maintain her artistry under immense commercial pressure. it makes me so mad i could just sail away!!
