We decided we needed to watch the 2019 Oscar Winner for Best Animated Film, Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse! Melissa had not yet seen it so Patricia Wick returns as our expert to talk about the film that may have just been the best film of 2019, period. While not officially a part of the MCU, Spider-Verse fits extremely well in that universe and, in some ways, even tops it.
Next up, we swear we are actually going to watch Frankenstein!

Â However, Oscar voters surprised everyone by selecting Spotlight instead. Â The film is representative of a dying genre as newspaper journalism is a dying medium. Â Fine performances anchor this movie that is disturbing not so much because of how the story is told but because so much of the story is true.
Note: We apologize for the late posting of this episode. This episode, we return to the works of director Martin Scorsese to watch the film Hugo.  Jena was unable to join us so we appointed stunt Jena Sean O’Laughlin to watch the film with us.  Hugo is notable for being a film almost completely unlike any other film by Martin Scorsese.  It starts out as a children’s movie and morphs into a love letter about film preservation.  It is also visually amazing.  We dissect all of this in our conversation after watching the film.
With this episode, we embark on a two episode exploration of baseball movies. Â
