We're breaking the cycle with the third installment in our second year of Ani-May, which has us look back at another 2021 anime that Sophie was very happy to be re-watching and reviewing - that being Mamoru Hosoda's Belle (and it might have something to do with the parallels to Beauty and the Beast...) As we look back over this sci-fi musical, we also take note of the director's other work in similar themes, a jab at the Avengers, Polly Pockets, and the good and the bad sides of online interactions (and what it's done for us!)

In our next installment of Ani-May season 2, we take a more seemingly European approach(?) for a Japanese animation, as we both check out The Deer King from 2021 for the first time. During our discussion you'll hear what has Paul darting over to the blu-ray shelf, whether the movie title should go by another name, what made Paul upset and Sophie annoyed - and obligitary Pokemon references!! Promo ad provided by The Good, The Bad and The Weird Podcast

It's round two of 'Ani-May' (still a clever title) and we asked the Patreons to pick one of two cyberpunk-themed heavy hitters. Yes, to Sophie's delight, we're going gritty instead of cutesy from the start with Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 anime movie Akira. Despite the despair that occurs in this dytopian 'future', there is still beauty to be found - as Paul tries to point out to Sophie throughout the discussion. On top of that we have more 4K appreciation, anger at animated nudity, and contemplation on whether time would allow Paul to ever delve into the manga series... Promo ad provided by Deconstructing Comics

As we close in on second running of our themed month, we remember a previous themed month of Monster March with a lighthearted '80's comedy in the form of Teen Wolf. Does the movie have a lot of bite, or are the fangs just for show? We also discuss Turning Red, basketball movies, just how hairy is Paul, and Sophie dives deeper than you think into the characteristics of the character Styles (never mind Michael J. Fox's character Scotty!)

If you want the ultimate, you've got to be willing to pay the ultimate price... thankfully, this episode costs you nothing, but it's certainly a doozie - as this is Sophie's first experience with the 1991 Kathryn Bigalow movie Point Break! On top of that, we are also joined by massive movie fan and fellow podcaster Em of Verbal Diorama fame (@verbaldiorama on IG) to discuss the rad cinematography, how they don't make action films like they used to, gush of Reeves and Swayze - and would the sequel be even worth watching without them in it??... plus much much more!!

We're saddling up on our horses once again as we mosey on down to Old West, but this time with a promise of James Stewart for Sophie. Yessir, we're taking our chances with checking out the 1939 Comedy-Western movie, Destry Rides Again. As part of the discussion, we also reflect on Jimmy's previous movie roles (particularly ones we've covered), whether there is in fact anything in star power, and most importanly - does this iteration of the Wild West sway Sophie's opinion of the genre at all??
