    Friends From Film School Podcast - EP 66: Mortal Kombat (2021) -  Do Video Games Make Good Movies? Listeners' Discretion Advised: This podcast contains clips of the film containing strong language    Ever since the Super Mario Bros. Movie came out in 1993, popular video game properties have quickly been greenly to live action movies, but in many ways, the art form has suffered in the transition from console to cinema. This week the friends from film school gang (minus Luke who is on vacation) review the new live action Mortal Kombat and ultimately answer the question,  "Do Video Games make good movies?" Join us as we discuss Earth's greatest champions, flawless victories, and what makes it so darn difficult to nail the combo of having a great video game and a good film adaption. So "GET OVER HERE" and join in as Brad and Ellis for an awesome episode of FFFS!   If you liked what you heard, support Friends From Film School on PATREON!

    EP 65: Princess Mononoke - Can Anime Reach Universal Acclaim?

    Friends From Film School Podcast - EP 65: Princess Mononoke -  Can Anime Reach Universal Acclaim?   This week we conclude our journey to the East in search of becoming true Anime fans. We watch the 1997 Hayao Miyazaki classic, Princess Mononoke and tackle the question of "Can anime reach universal acclaim?" Mononoke tells the story of a young Emishi prince named Ashitaka, and his involvement in a struggle between the gods of a forest and the humans who consume its resources.  The film is known for its heartfelt story, beautiful showcase of human folly, and its influence on filmmakers and fans alike. It is one of the highest grossing Japanese films of all time and a major cornerstone of solidifying anime's reputation in the West. Dive in with us as we discuss this Studio Ghibli hit and figure out if Luke and Brad will join Ellis as "true anime fans!"   If you liked what you watched, support Friends From Film School on PATREON!

    EP 64: Akira - The Cult Anime Classic

    Friends From Film School Podcast - EP 64: Akira - The Cult Anime Classic This week we continue the journey into the weird and wonderful world of Anime. Ellis has been taken on the duty to teach Luke & Brad about the intricacies of Japanese animation and ultimately try to win them over as "Anime fans." This week, we take a look at where America's modern anime obsession started,  the 1988 cult classic, Akira. This Katsuhiro Otomo directed film tells the complex story of Kaneda, a bike gang leader, and his psychic, superpowered friend Tetsuo who has fallen victim to a secret government project. The pair faces-off against anti-government activists, greedy politicians, irresponsible scientists and a powerful military leader until Tetsuo's supernatural powers suddenly manifest causing a final battle between him and Kaneda in the Tokyo Olympiad. In this episode, we enlist our good friend, actor Ryan Littmann, to share his thoughts on anime and if this 33 year old movie still holds up. Time to take to the streets of Neo-Tokyo and figure out if Akira is worth the acclaim. If you liked what you heard, support Friends From Film School on PATREON!
