spooky tuesday is a (now not so new!) podcast where we’re breaking down all of our favorite slashers, thrillers, monster movies and black comedies on the new scariest day of the week.

we'd say we didn't know how badly we needed paranorman (2012) on our spooky tuesday pride month lineup until we saw it, but sydney definitely did. with everything going on in today's ~~political climate~~ (and despite this movie being a decade old), the stop-motion masterpiece feels more timely than ever. it's not just that it was the first animated film to feature a canonically queer character, although it totally was, just fyi. it's also that the whole story challenges viewers to put their money where their mouth is when it comes to the central message that it's ok to be different. if you still need convincing, we'll go ahead and say this: it's cozy horror, babes. haven't you heard that's all the rage?

give spooky tuesday a listen on apple podcasts, spotify, iheart radio, or stitcher

(Archive) Animated movie of the day: WALL·E (2008)

Originally posted: January 12nd, 2022 Yeah, we had to talk about Pixar at some point. While every movie goes through multiple iterations and changes over development, Pixar takes the concept to the extreme, with pitches that see the light of day pretty much over a decade from their first showing. This often leads to movies that are polished to a T in almost every aspect, which is the case here…sort of.

While I do consider this environmentalist piece a very nice film, with gorgeous visuals, endearing characters and a great sound design, I feel divided about its structure, themes, and just how it ends up as a whole.

Sure, every plot thread is connected, but this film clearly has two very different presentation styles and even in repeated viewings I can't help but feel the abrupt shift from a wordless narrative of a garbage collecting Earth robot bonding over time with a probe unit from space, and the high action/comedy heroics of the second. I like both for different reasons(preferring the first half) but the way they're integrated clashes a bit in my eyes, even if it may be an artistic choice of ironic contrast (the Earth is silent and Space is now noisy).

And then there's the themes. It's environmental discussion(and many other social criticisms it has), while ever relevant, feels undermined by Disney's greed. I can agree with the message(or at least the core ideas) but it's hard to not feel a bit conflicted. It's exploration of nostalgia is striking in it's simplicity though. With just a few images it says so much about this concept.

So, do I love something about the film without caveats? Well, WALL-E itself. This romantic of a robot is such lovable protagonist, and its caring nature is infectious. The relationship it has with EVE is so wholesome too, because it is defined by that attention and care.

I may not think the final blend of it's ingredients is seamless or flawless, but there's definitely a heart to it that makes it an uplifting watch.

Babylon

★★★★★ A los seres humanos nos encanta contar historias. Forma parte de nuestra naturaleza. Puede incluso que desde antes de que el monolito de Kubrick hiciera acto de presencia nuestros antepasados se reunían frente a la hoguera y recontaban o imaginaban situaciones que les ayudaban a luchar contra el terror a la oscuridad. Los gritos y aullidos en mitad de la noche, los depredadores que…

So I was super excited that Goldbergs was back but then I found about Jeff Garlin. Still happy the show is back but this is making me triple down on my thoughts that the show should have ended with Adam's graduation.

Babylon (2022, dir. Damien Chazelle) - review by Rookie-Critic

Babylon was overlong, overstuffed, and over-everything. This is a textbook example of how to jam-pack so much into your movie and make things so non-stop wild that it just becomes a bumbling mess by the time the movie is over. With contradicting messaging and the romanticizing of an era that is really probably not worthy of romanticizing, by the time the movie was even at its halfway point (which is about what the runtime of the film should have actually been) I began to question what exactly Chazelle was trying to get across. He loves movies, but I guess likes the mid-to-late 20s silent film era the most? Perhaps. Although, maybe it's a general love for the art of film making we're seeing, and Chazelle just decided to have a large portion of the film dedicated to showing how soulless and robotic early talkies were? Like I said, the movie falls over on itself constantly, and if the goal was to show how magical making movies is, then he straight up failed, because it looks like a nightmare and shit show (also incredibly deadly, apparently). There are a handful of great ideas here, and maybe if the film had focused up on telling a great story about one or two protagonists instead of four or five, as well as cut its runtime in half, we might have had the best thing he's made since Whiplash on our hands. The best scenes in the movie are the ones that calm everything down and allow two characters to have a genuine moment of connection, and we learn things about the characters that I'm way more interested in than whatever the next absolutely cacophonous madhouse that awaits in the next scene is.

I can't deny that there were things about it that I did like, and the things I liked, I liked quite a bit. Diego Calva is a fantastic actor, and I love seeing big directors like Chazelle give lesser known actors like Calva a chance to really shine and have that breakout performance, of which this is most definitely his. Jovan Adepo, for what little screen time he does get, is also one of the highlights, and I wish the movie had taken a little bit of the runtime away from the less interesting protagonists (Brad Pitt and Margot Robbie's characters) and given it to Adepo, because I feel like he could have quite possibly been the most interesting character in the entire film had the time been invested in him. I don't mean to say that Pitt and Robbie do a bad job in the film, they're two masterclass actors and do a great job as their characters, I just personally didn't find their characters that engaging or interesting in the first place. Also, for as much as I have been rallying against the "muchness" of Babylon, one of my absolute favorite sequences in the entire film is the scene involving Tobey Maguire's mob boss character. It is one of the most genuinely unsettling and freaky pieces of any film I've seen this year and it's not even in a movie that could kind of be considered a horror film. Maguire oozes deplorability and absolutely steals the entire movie away from anyone else every second that he's on screen. The things that happen during that sequence are things I have not really been able to make leave my head since leaving the theater and, god, I wish I could.

I'm sure Chazelle wanted Babylon to be considered his magnum opus, that's definitely how the film reads, but it really just comes across as a movie that tries way too hard to keep the audience engaged, when it didn't really need even a quarter of the amount of flash and wildness that it had in order to accomplish that. Calva's performance alone would have been enough, and the parts of the film that worked would have just been bonus points. However, as it stands, Babylon just feels like a movie reveling in its own excess, and none of the sentiment it throws out in its final act is enough to save it from all of the unnecessary pieces that preceded it.

Score: 6/10

Currently only in theaters.
