Mousterpiece Cinema, Episode 181: “Strange Magic”

Wise men say only fools rush in. But I gotta feelin’ that tonight’s gonna be a good night. So come on, Marianne! OK, enough singing (for now). Time to get down to business, and on this week’s episode of Mousterpiece Cinema, business equals talking about the brand-new film from the Walt Disney Company. Yes, they just released a new animated film! From George Lucas! It’s got tons of songs! You may have skipped out on Strange Magic, but Josh and Gabe can definitely attest to the fact that it exists, because they both paid to see it. And so did their guest, friend of the show Keith Phipps of The Dissolve. And now, they’re here to commiserate over the film, which is unique! (Uniquely bad, that is.) From the current state of computer animation to the novels of James Ellroy to Beyonce’s recent surprise album, everything–really–is up for discussion this week, as these three try to wash the taste of Strange Magic away. The movie might’ve been a pain, but this episode’s (thankfully) not. Check it out!
