5.7 - MY STRAIGHT SON (2012) & Acceptance

After reviews — some more fervent than others — we talk about drama, found families, and whether or not we might have a Eurocentric view of this film’s politics.

5.4 - CITY OF GOD (2002) & Corrupt Space

The title for this episode comes from something Rob says towards the end of this chat, which I think sums up this film brilliantly.

200! - 300 (2007) & Fourteen Years

The final film in our Disney-animation-and-remakes sub-season is the 2020 iteration of MULAN.

4.49 - MULAN (1998) & Gender

Our final Disney film is 1998’s MULAN. After some reviews, we talk about the ways in which this film starts from a position of naivety, but grows into a much more adult movie: which leaves us both intrigued as to what the reboot will be like.

4.48 - THE LION KING (2019) & Hyperrealism

This week, after some...reviews of Disney’s most recent take on THE LION KING, we talk about how colour and contrast can make or break a film, the importance of myth to the original movie, and what it means to consider style versus substance when the film is as hyperrealistic as this one.

4.47 - THE LION KING (1994) & Privilege

Our film this week is the 1994 award-winning classic THE LION KING.

4.46 - ALADDIN (2019) & PRETENCE

After…mixed reviews, we talk about the ‘clean’ visuals, what it feels Disney wants from a re-make, and how watching this involves something of the same pretence shown by the characters themselves.

This time, our focus is on the 1992 Disney film ALADDIN.

4.44 - BEAUTY AND THE BEAST (2017) & Loneliness
