Blue(cat) Christmas

Merry Christmas Vanguardistas, one and all! In this week’s Take 2 we’ve got a bonus review of ‘Dolphin Boy’, an animated underwater adventure that sees a baby almost lost at sea rescued and raised by dolphins... if you’re wondering how a human baby survives underwater for hours at a time, so is Mark. Safe to say his review is a lot more entertaining than the film itself sounds... One frame back this week is blue characters--which means a free pass for Mark to gush about Dougal and the Bluecat. We hear your top picks from Aladdin’s Genie to the Muppets’ Gonzo—and find out whether any of them can topple Mark’s firm favourite. This week’s Watchlist is a bumper Christmas holiday edition, with 50 top festive films... And on the Notlist, we’ve picked out the cinematic equivalent of Brussels sprouts so you don’t have to. Plus Simon and Mark answer your Questions Schmestions on their favourite TV shows of the year, the best movie trailers ever made, and a bit of Golden Globes bashing.
