Caroline/Paranorman - I guess you could say we Laika these!

Mon, 01 Nov 2021 00:47:47 GMT

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.

101 Dalmatians and The Aristocats: A Cat is Not a Dog

Mon, 24 May 2021 17:19:26 GMT

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! [woofing ensues for 20 more minutes across the entire country of England]

Open Season and Home on the Range: Man vs Wild vs Film vs Us

Mon, 12 Apr 2021 15:35:29 GMT

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.

Mon, 29 Mar 2021 16:42:20 GMT

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? Find out!

Mon, 01 Mar 2021 16:32:21 GMT

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!

How do you do, Fellow Kids! Late Stage Capitalism proudly presents three films that try very, very hard to be very, very relevant. Today’s episode brought to you by Roku, Netflix, Hulu, Vudu, Behringer audio equipment, an Apple cookie timer (sorry, Chips Ahoy timer), and utter exhaustion from the amount of brand references we had to suffer along the way.

Howard (Not The Duck)

Mon, 10 Aug 2020 09:23:19 GMT

We take a break from our usual format to talk about the contributions of Howard Ashman, and about the new documentary, Howard. It’s also about Howard Ashman. Ashman not only wrote the lyrics to the songs in Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and parts of Aladdin, but he had a huge influence on the outcomes of those movies and the future of animation. He’s great.
