Babe with Emily Yoshida
Added 2020-05-01 04:16:00 +0000 UTCBAA RAM EWE!!! George Miller didn't direct Babe (an infamous point of contention we dive into) but we couldn't not cover this 1995 classic. Griffin, David, Ang, and Emily Yoshida called each other up on Zoom to revisit James Cromwell's Oscar nominated performance, life and death drama in kids movies, and a certain little pig who goes a long way.

2025-07-24 18:52:50 +0000 UTCI've been on a kick of downloading the commentary episodes and then going to the comments to find the start timecode to make editing them to fit the movie's timecodes specifically easier. Three years later you saved me 45 minutes of waiting for the commentary to start, as I had zero clue this wasn't a commentary xD

2020-05-07 19:29:16 +0000 UTCI really relate to Emily about watching the VHS as a kid. This is one of the only movies I remember putting in and rewinding over and over again!! π

2020-05-01 13:18:55 +0000 UTCFor some reason I thought this was a commentary, so after 45 minutes I was like "damn, even for them this intro is long".

2020-05-01 05:55:01 +0000 UTCI remember seeing Babe for the first time about four years ago. And it's a film whose incredible compassion and honesty has always been so important to me, but the thing that always gets me is the ending. Babe is herding the sheep in perfect formation. There's no sound. No score. Just Babe and the sheep doing their thing. That has always been such a Rosetta stone for my understanding of what I like in direction. That level of restraint and confidence in your own story to let the visual storytelling in your movie's climax to speak for itself like that is mind-melting.
