FF+ Gran Turismo

Posted on by Aaron White.

Almost every competitive gamer has at one point in their lives wondered what it would be like to do the sport or activity they dominate digitally in real life. For Jann Mardenborough that became a reality when the GT Academy and Nissan provided him an opportunity to go from sim racer to behind the wheel of an actual car. This incredible real life story is the backbone for PlayStation Studios’ adaptation of the beloved long-time racing franchise Gran Turismo, and I’m here to tell you that it makes for one heck of a crowd-pleasing good time at the theater, regardless of whether you’re familiar with the video game, a racing fan, or none of the above.

Episode 379: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

Posted on by Aaron White.

It’s new turtles for a new generation, with some twists on origin stories as well for both friends and foe. These teenagers act, talk, and look their age more than they ever have before and a dynamic but raw sketch-like art style makes for a visually interesting cinematic experience. There’s plenty of action and jokes to go around and we’re glad to report that this is one reboot we’re completely onboard for.

Episode 378: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Posted on by Aaron White.

We’ve got turtle madness so before enjoying the newest animated adventure of the four ninja brothers next week, we decided to take a look back at a film we absolutely loved when we were both 11 years old. With its practical effects, puppets, and costumes, there’s some incredibly charming (and silly) about this version of the property, and we still find plenty worth praising that has held up just fine over 30 years and despite numerous new imaginings of the same characters.

FF+ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem

Posted on by Aaron White.

The skateboarding, pizza-eating teenage mutant ninja turtles are back for a new generation in new animated film. Kicking off what is likely to be a multi-film and TV series franchise, this reboot quickly goes over the origin story and gets right into the dynamic action with the four brothers facing off against mutants that want to rule the world. It’s got modern jokes aplenty and a gorgeous stylistic animated style, resulting in a fantastic new introduction to one of the coolest crime-fighting teams ever imagined.

FF+ Haunted Mansion/The First Slam Dunk

Posted on by Aaron White.

Disney has resurrected its ghosts once again for a new live-action cinematic story based on their famous attraction. This time around an unexpected group is locked inside the titular mansion together and must find a way past its creepy spectral inhabitants to get out, but there’s an undercurrent of dealing with personal grief, as well. Then we also have the anime adaptation of a sports drama manga that follows a HS basketball player over the course of a big playoff game as he struggles to lead his team to victory while remembering his tragic and complicated path to where he now stands.

Episode 377: Barbenheimer

Posted on by Aaron White.

The movie event of the summer is here and we couldn’t just choose one of these great films to discuss, so we’re talking about both! Patrick is out on vacation this weekend but Meredith Loftus is filling on to discuss what made Barbenheimer such a phenomenon, what makes Greta Gerwig’s colorful satirical comedy so meaningful, and how unique and powerful of a biopic Christopher Nolan has crafted. It’s a celebration of great cinema, with a few criticisms here and there, and we hope you enjoy.

Barbie – 13:56

Oppenheimer – 49:30

FF+ Oppenheimer/Barbie

Posted on by Aaron White.

The cinematic event of the summer is upon us with new films from beloved directors Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan. These two couldn’t be more different, but both have much to offer. While one is bright, colorful, hilarious, and heavy-handed but entertaining in its satire, the other is a challenging, long, and dense operatic biopic. Both are highly recommended for their strengths, but I do have notes.

Barbie – 0:53

Oppenheimer – 10:02

Episode 376: Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One

Posted on by Aaron White.

Rounding out three weeks in a row of mission madness, we dig into the newest entry in Tom Cruise’s blockbuster action spy series. Narratively, this time around we’ve got some notes, and overall feel it missed the depth that some of franchise’s most chilling human villains provided. But even with some issues, the spectacle in incredibly entertaining and the pacing absolutely perfect, resulting in such an exciting and fun experience that we can find ourselves able to forgive this for not quite reaching the Ethan Hunt Hall of Fame.

Episode 375: Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation

Posted on by Aaron White.

Continuing our immersion in the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE franchise over a few weeks, we have a conversation about the franchise’s sixth entry, one that shines for its overall balance of high quality elements. We talk about the addition of Ilsa Faust as a mysterious friend/foe and subtle love interest, how great of an antagonist Solomon Lane and The Syndicate are, and why Ethan’s relationship with his teammates will always make this series special. Plus more, of course, because there are always crazy stunts and intricate set pieces to ooh and aah over, as well.

FF+ The League

Posted on by Aaron White.

In this episode – the history of the Negro baseball leagues goes far beyond the stories of Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige. Fellow Seattle film critic Tim Hall (The People’s Critic) joins the show for a conversation about what we learned in this documentary full of wonderful on and off the field archival footage, numerous interviews, and history of the Negro Leagues that goes deeper than just celebrating the best athletic talent and discusses their importance in the civil rights movement.
