GBU Season 3, Episode 1: Ride Your Wave, and Sonic the Hedgehog

This week we look at Masaaki Yuasa’s Ride Your Wave, and touch on his Night is Short, Walk On Girl, and Sonic the Hedgehog, starring James Marsden and Jim Carrey.

That is all.

Thank you for stopping over to the blog. We’d love it if you shared the show with your friends if you like what we do.

Don’t forget to rate and review the podcast on your podcatcher of choice if you can, like Apple Podcasts, but if you don’t use Apple Podcasts, don’t forget you can find the show elsewhere, including Spotify and Stitcher. We’re supposed to be listed on Google Play, but who the hell even knows, you know? Apple and Spotify are your safest bets.

Early 2020 Catch-Up Post

Hello, there. The charge on my credit card for the continued ownership of this domain tells me that we’re still in business here at the Dayton Upstairs Recording Studio, although things have been quiet lately.

Over my Winter Break I spent the first half doing family stuff and the second half working on my house, including reworking my bedroom. Since then I’ve started another term of college, and it’s one which is very reading-intensive, so it has been difficult to find time to record. Besides that, the groups with which I’ve seen movies these past months have been all over the place, and I have wanted to do group shows rather than just sitting down with one other person. I don’t know why, Adam and I used to record two-man shows all the time. I guess it’s because most of these movies are seen, sooner or later, or expected to be seen, by more than just one of my potential co-hosts, and so I’m always holding out for someone else to see it and make the potential recording pool bigger.

At any rate, I will try to have something recorded soon, and in the meantime, after the break are are some scattered thoughts about the following movies:

  • Parasite
  • Mobile Suit Gundam: Char’s Counterattack
  • Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
  • Ninja Scroll
  • Knives Out
  • Marriage Story
  • Uncut Gems
  • 1917

Brian’s Exploratory Christmas Endeavor ’19: It’s a Wonderful Life

I spoke about this movie on, I believe, the first Christmas special episode of the podcast we ever did, and I was enthusiastic about it at the time. I’ve only become more fond of it since then. Why bring it up now?

There’s a 4K release now.

Brian’s Exploratory Christmas Endeavor ’19: The Knight Before Christmas

Well, this is interesting. Did you know there was a Christmas Prince extended universe? Or that within that universe Netflix exists and has Christmas movies? Which are the same ones you can watch in this real universe? Wow.
