AAPI Heritage Month #2 - It’s Still Spring Somewhere (Preview)

For our second celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month we watched China’s 1948 film Spring in a Small Town -- an intimate movie about the interweaving lives of a family and their surprise guest trying to figure out how to navigate moving forward in a landscape where many of them can no longer envision a happy future in the aftermath of the Second Sino-Japanese War and World War 2. We love a melancholy movie.

This is the full release of 2025’s May bonus celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month, where we watched the 1930 Japanese film What Made Her Do It? -- a movie that takes the concept: “life is suffering and then you die” to the next level. But who's to say that you can't choose how you go out?

Animation History #1 - The Fairest of All Time (Preview)

This episode spoils 1937's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Join us alongside a special guest as we discuss the movie that birthed a dynasty (of princesses). Snow White convinced Hollywood that animation was a viable medium for full length movies and propelled Disney animation and similar studios into a golden age of animation. Heigh-ho!

15th Academy Awards - The Stiffest of Upper Lips

This episode spoils 1942’s nominees 49th Parallel, King's Row, Yankee Doodle Dandy, The Magnificent Ambersons, The Pride of the Yankees, The Talk of the Town, The Pied Piper, Wake Island, Random Harvest, and winner Mrs. Miniver. America officially joins World War 2 which means Hollywood officially endorses it. This year's movies universally deal with the question of being steadfast and determined in a time of stress or change (for better or worse). Yes, there's a lot of rugged patriotism on display. Yes, there's a lot of talk about ethics and justice. Yes, checks notes, Ronald Reagan is here??
