Way Too Seriously

I’d like to say that the sound affects are the best. Listening to this podcast is like having conversations with some friends about the craft of films. Being that it’s children movies is helpful too! With some, it’s a walk into nostalgia and analysing films of my youth and others is listening to what’s out there. I love listening to this podcast because it’s a nice way to chill with some buddies. Please listen!!

Is it good? Yes. Is it seriously good? YES! Great way to revisit and analyze entertainment aimed at kids from an adult perspective without removing the emotions involved. Paul and Jan aren’t worried about taking these movies seriously, without taking themselves too seriously.

Love this podcast! So much fun thinking about all of my fav kids movies way too seriously! Paul and Jan do a great job of unpacking some of the issues that seem to get swept under the rug in these movies like sexism and racism. Glad to know I’m not crazy thinking about this stuff.

Paul and Jan are excellent at talking through films aimed at kids from a thoughtful, intelligent perspective - what works in the story, what’s problematic, what the messages are that are really good for kids to be exposed to. It’s critical analysis that’s much needed for any type of media. Plus, for the older films, I love revisiting them as an adult.
