Celmates

After having some bad experiences with Laika in the past (looking at you Missing Link), we dive back in to the world of stop motion for some pleasant surprises! Two movies about weird kids that may or may not be lonely depending if you count ghosts as friends. We explore Coraline's weird videogame subplot, Paranorman's questionable messages, and decide that stop-motion animation is, in fact, just magic. Hosted on Acast.

Heya friends! Lots going on around the Celmates house as we prep for the summer. No new episode today, but we'll have some hot steaming fresh content for you soon! In the meantime, here's a flashback to one of my favorites. A story of fairies and ponies and Megans.https://www.facebook.com/celmatespodcasthttps://twitter.com/celmatespodcasthttp://celmatespodcast.com/[email protected] Hosted on Acast.

It’s reigning cats and dogs as we discuss Disney petnappings of all breeds: feline and canine; period and “present day”; delightfully watchable and not-so-delightfully insufferable. Meow! Woof!

Y’know that thing where you’re trying to break through to your dad who just doesn’t understand you then TECHNOLOGY-INDUCED APOCALYPSE and all the sudden you have to work together to literally save the world? Yeah. That. https://www.facebook.com/celmatespodcasthttps://twitter.com/celmatespodcasthttp://celmatespodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

They want to be where the people--and seals--are: We center transformations into and out of the sea as we take on two impossibly cozy films that dive into their whimsical worlds with ease.https://www.facebook.com/celmatespodcasthttps://twitter.com/celmatespodcasthttp://celmatespodcast.com/[email protected] Hosted on Acast.

We square up with two films that explore the eternal struggle between humanity and the wild. Kinda. Not really. Mainly we square up with two films that managed to put us to sleep multiple times due to flat characters, poor voice casting, and absolutely zero stakes. Oh, and Randy Quaid outperforms Dame Judi Dench. So that's a thing.https://www.facebook.com/celmatespodcasthttps://twitter.com/celmatespodcasthttp://celmatespodcast.com/[email protected] Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It’s a musical extravaganza as we croon and dance our way through two films that champion (sort of) artistic expression through song. Do they succeed? Do they pander? Do they explicitly demonize the use of mental health medication?

We set out on a journey to determine how much of a sprawling fantasy novel universe you can cram into an 80-minute runtime with The Hobbit and The Black Cauldron... and why you maybe shouldn't?

Happy March! We're taking an episode off because, you know, all the things in the world. We'll be back in two weeks, but for now, here's a flashback to our March Madness brackets from 2019!Dick and Kate discuss the kind of March Madness that they actually know things about! We've created a bracket of 64 Disney and Pixar movies to rank, and we're discussing our personal Sweet 16s. Then we go on to try and make a definitive bracket for the show and it goes more smoothly than expected! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Surprise: Baby! A century-old Western tale finds its way to Japan and prehistoric times (but probably Wyoming?) as trios of misfits learn to take care of small humans, themselves, and their “herds”.https://www.facebook.com/celmatespodcasthttps://twitter.com/celmatespodcasthttp://celmatespodcast.com/[email protected] Hosted on Acast.
