485: Serial Mom

This week, we're discussing a sequel that goes hard in some areas and goes hard (derogatory) in others: An American Tail: Fievel Goes West! We discuss surprisingly excellent action sequences, a scheme we don't quite understand, and debate Jocelyn's upsetting connection to a certain feline character.   Produced by Andrew Ivimey as part of The From Superheroes Network   Visitwww.FromSuperheroes.com for more podcasts, articles, video series, web comics, and more.

This week, we're discussing the conclusion to Terry Gilliam's "Trilogy of Imagination", The Adventures of Baron Munchausen!

We're kicking off Kids Movie Month with a film that's a bit "wrong place, wrong time" - Treasure Planet!

This week, we're discussing Emerald Fennell's debut feature, Promising Young Woman!

This week, we're discussing a film that AGED LIKE MILK IN THE SUN, As Good As It Gets!

It's Audience Choice, and this week our Patrons chose Ella Enchanted!

This week, we're chatting about the Tim Burton fantasy Big Fish!
