  Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018)

  Oct 1, 202657 minS7

  Show Notes Why would you follow a naming convention? Ralph wouldn’t know anything about that because wrecking and breaking are obviously different things. We watched Ralph Breaks the Internet this week and marvelled at the princess power and the deeply unsettling embodiment of insecurity. There’s a good amount of growth for some pretty emotionally stunted characters which is gratifying to see in a sequel and too many tech company name drops for comfort.

  Incredibles 2 (2018)

  Sep 24, 202654 minS7

  Show Notes The Parr family is back and this time it’s a matriarchy! Picking up right where the previous movie left off, supers are still a strain on city infrastructure but rich people get what they want and everyone knows that the best way to get trust is to use a woman, and so we enter the age of a working mother and a stay-at-home father. We love a supportive king - Bob proves his incredibleness with his effort in truly caring for his children while supporting his wife even while being hurt by not being chosen. We also get the best animated lush of all time and a baby with uncontrollable and unknown powers, which is always a good time.

  Coco (2017)

  Sep 17, 202659 minS7

  Show Notes This week we get ready for spooky season with Coco. If you aren’t colorblind, this movie is a color wonderland full of neons and contrasts. We wonder how it is that our protagonist never really questioned the lineage that constrained his passions, how many times Miguel yelled Dante to get us to think to of The Inferno, and why Disney thought they could get away with trademarking a whole culture.

  Cars 3 (2017)

  Sep 10, 202639 minS7

  Show Notes Sequels can add to or detract from a franchise. Cars 3 is a surprisingly warm and fun entry into a series that until now we watched out of obligation but not out of excitement. After the train wreck (pun intended?) of Cars 2, the amount of dread we had going in almost guaranteed hatred. But this movie pulled back on Mater and sped ahead with heart. The third in a series is not often the best, but in the Cars series, when you center a likeable character in Cruz Ramirez, highlight the fact that your “main character” is kind of an a**hole, and pull back the use of the comic relief to just comic relief, you can make a movie with a lot of heart that makes an audience enjoy rather than endure.

  Moana (2016)

  Sep 3, 20261h 4mS7

  Show Notes Let’s sail the open sea this week with Moana. She is the leader of her people and as the leader, sometimes you have to defy your parents and set sail into certain death. Certain that is if you don’t have the favor of the sea. Fortunately, our intrepid explorer has just that. She also has a healthy take-no-shit attitude when it comes to petulant demigods with inferiority complexes and a penchant for constantly trying to kill her. This movie has so much heart it’s literally bursting with it.
