I saw a review of this that compared itself to an "Animated Babysitter" and it honestly is. While it has great voice acting and a very simple and solid story, it takes no real risks.
Probably one of the best Dragon's though in an animated film and who would have thought that Jane Fonda would rock it. It's clear that everyone involved was having fun (but happy to be getting paid for it).
As I write this, the credits are playing for this landmark animated film that hits the sweet mark of 90minutes long. Pompo the Cinephile is top notch animated film that explores the world of cinema and I complete resonate with the creative process it presents into creating film, art, and yourself. I don't want to give it all away cause I could go on about all that it is. This is a pleasant film and has to be for sure one of my top animated films.
If you are someone who is a creator. This is a must watch.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I've been battling some sort of illness (luckily it turned out not to be Covid) but I put on the ol' Hulu and saw this and went "What the Hell" I need a monster movie on while I work on my own monstrous creations for APEX: A GIANT MONSTER STORY.

"Episode gets high jacked by guests, but at least the movie was pretty solid."

I like to think of it as the "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" of the modern age, this film is a delightful way to bring the wonderful world of Pokemon to the big screen. Obviously Ryan Reynold's portrayal as the titular character def helps this kids' film to be an enjoyable romp for almost anyone new…
"It deserved a better conclusion. But hey..Toothless got a girlfriend?"
So this was the first ever "IT CAME FROM A PARKING LOT" movie we did for the podcast where we sat in my Prius for the first half of the recording while we waited in the movie theatre parking lot to talk about what was to come. While the premise was a little lackluster for myself, I myself was a faithful an of the series and was curious to see…
"Haven't you seen Shark Week?"
So after many years of development hell, THE MEG finally made it to the surface of cinema like I had always hoped it would. As a fan of this classic sea creature thriller penned by Steve Alten, seeing the movie was super excited. Doubly so cause this was the film I saw when I first met my long lost niece so it has even a closer place in my heart.
Hence why I honestly felt…
Last month we at the podcast reviewed a monster movie that I personally have been wanting to see since I was as wee early high schooler learning the internet and of a site called TOKYO MONSTERS. Reigo was this creature feature that enchanted me due to my love of the historical record of the Pacific Conflict but also cause a truly ocean going monster was an enchanting concept.
