Pixar is back in action with an enjoyable ride that’s full of bonkers spirit and a heartfelt appreciation for the environment. I’m very glad to have caught this in theaters, and holy crap, it really has been playing for a long while. It reminds me of how I hadn’t seen Sinners until the tail-end of … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Hoppers

#67 – Pixar’s The Incredibles | Directed by Brad Bird (with Matthew of That’s SO Matthew)
Tune in as Matthew (That’s SO Matthew) hangs out on 2CC to talk about Pixar’s The Incredibles, the 2004 animated superhero movie that gives you all the alarm-button red super-suits, golden jazz, and Fantastic Four energy you could ever want. The viral TikTok fame of Michael Giacchino’s splendid score, the concept of the mundane versus the … Continue reading #67 – Pixar’s The Incredibles | Directed by Brad Bird (with Matthew of That’s SO Matthew)
My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Turning Red
What’s new, everyone? Directed by Domee Shi (Oscar-winning Pixar short Bao) in her feature directorial debut and written by Shi and Julia Cho, Turning Red, the latest movie to be released by Pixar, follows unabashedly dorky 13-year-old Meilin “Mei” Lee (played by Rosalie Chiang) in the year 2002 as she hangs out with her equally nerdy best … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Turning Red
2 Cents Critic Podcast – Pixar’s Luca | Directed by Enrico Casarosa
Tune in for Arthur’s opinions on Luca, Pixar’s 24th film (but not before he momentarily digresses at the beginning to touch on his faulty Wi-Fi that had most likely been caused by the Pacific Northwest heat wave, followed by the matter of that garbage bag Bill Cosby being released from prison). Directed by Enrico Casarosa … Continue reading 2 Cents Critic Podcast – Pixar’s Luca | Directed by Enrico Casarosa
My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Luca
What’s new, folks? Six months have passed since Pixar’s Soul streamed on Disney+ on Christmas 2020, and hooboy, that half a year was simultaneously interminable and fleeting. Now we have Pixar’s 24th feature film, Luca, which released exclusively on Disney+ on June 18 (Toy Story 3 premiered on that very same date all the way back in 2010). Directed … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Luca
My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Soul
What’s new, readers? I mean, aside from the coup that President Trump’s MAGA minions attempted at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, a date that will go down in infamy for our nation. It’s genuinely disturbing, but not one bit surprising, that a riot like this actually took place and resulted in five deaths thanks … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Soul
My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Onward
What’s new, readers? I hope you’re heeding social distancing rules, finding ways to keep yourself from going stir-crazy during COVID-19, and praying our egomaniacal and “total authority”-obsessed president doesn’t tear the United States apart. Personally, I’m occupying myself with writing, reading, watching the musical parodies of Chris Mann, and being repeatedly amused by the public’s … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Pixar’s Onward
My 2 Cents on Toy Story 4
Nine years. That's how long it's been since Pixar Animation Studios made everyone break down in tears by releasing 2010's Toy Story 3, a touching conclusion to the trilogy and the gang of toys whom we've grown to love. So it should be understandable that I never asked for a sequel and hadn't been completely … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Toy Story 4
