| Caroline/Paranorman - I guess you could say we Laika these! | 01 nov. 2021 | 01:21:10 | |
After having some bad experiences with Laika in the past (looking at you Missing Link), we dive back in to the world of stop motion for some pleasant surprises! Two movies about weird kids that may or may not be lonely depending if you count ghosts as friends. We explore Coraline's weird videogame subplot, Paranorman's questionable messages, and decide that stop-motion animation is, in fact, just magic. Hosted on Acast.

| 101 Dalmatians and The Aristocats: A Cat is Not a Dog | 24 mai 2021 | 02:05:29 | |
It’s reigning cats and dogs as we discuss Disney petnappings of all breeds: feline and canine; period and “present day”; delightfully watchable and not-so-delightfully insufferable. Meow! Woof! [woofing ensues for 20 more minutes across the entire country of England] https://www.facebook.com/celmatespodcast https://twitter.com/celmatespodcast Hosted on Acast.

| Open Season and Home on the Range: Man vs Wild vs Film vs Us | 12 avr. 2021 | 01:14:53 | |
We square up with two films that explore the eternal struggle between humanity and the wild. Kinda. Not really. Mainly we square up with two films that managed to put us to sleep multiple times due to flat characters, poor voice casting, and absolutely zero stakes. Oh, and Randy Quaid outperforms Dame Judi Dench. So that's a thing. https://www.facebook.com/celmatespodcast https://twitter.com/celmatespodcast Hosted on Acast.

| Sing and Trolls: You Can’t Stop the Beat | 29 mars 2021 | 01:43:20 | |
It’s a musical extravaganza as we croon and dance our way through two films that champion (sort of) artistic expression through song. Do they succeed? Do they pander? Do they explicitly demonize the use of mental health medication? Find out! https://www.facebook.com/celmatespodcast https://twitter.com/celmatespodcast Hosted on Acast.

| The Hobbit and The Black Cauldron: Lost in Movie Translation | 15 mars 2021 | 01:26:51 | |
We set out on a journey to determine how much of a sprawling fantasy novel universe you can cram into an 80-minute runtime with The Hobbit and The Black Cauldron... and why you maybe shouldn't?

| [Rewind] March Madness - Disney/Pixar Edition | 01 mars 2021 | 01:21:43 | |
Happy March! We're taking an episode off because, you know, all the things in the world. We'll be back in two weeks, but for now, here's a flashback to our March Madness brackets from 2019! Dick and Kate discuss the kind of March Madness that they actually know things about! We've created a bracket of 64 Disney and Pixar movies to rank, and we're discussing our personal Sweet 16s. Then we go on to try and make a definitive bracket for the show and it goes more smoothly than expected! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Ice Age and Tokyo Godfathers: Three Beings and a Baby | 15 févr. 2021 | 01:25:32 | |

The ants go marching one by two by three by bee in our annual mega-episode folly as we take on FOUR bug-infested films.

What’s that in the sky? And in the sea? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a bugplane? No, it’s two lost civilizations being descended upon by nefarious militaries while a scrappy crew of characters and a very special Strong Female Lead works to defend them!

Late Stage Capitalism proudly presents three films that try very, very hard to be very, very relevant.

Things are a little crazy in the Celmates household right now, so in lieu of a new episode, we're republishing one of our favorites. From June of 2019 - it's Cars and Bolt! Two movies about things that go fast, and don't really hold up under mild scrutiny!

There are many reasons to produce a sequel to a monster hit of an animated movie: expanding the world, developing beloved characters, dropping the audience into a pit of confusing plotlines and endless MacGuffins...

| Howard (Not The Duck) | 10 août 2020 | 01:49:29 | |
We take a break from our usual format to talk about the contributions of Howard Ashman, and about the new documentary, Howard. It’s also about Howard Ashman. Ashman not only wrote the lyrics to the songs in Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and parts of Aladdin, but he had a huge influence on the outcomes of those movies and the future of animation. He’s great. https://www.facebook.com/celmatespodcast https://twitter.com/celmatespodcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

Why Venn Diagram two animated films when you can go for EIGHT (short) FILMS??

In one movie, a princess gets put to sleep for a little while! And in the other, the princess is relegated to Swantanamo Bay. And they’re both based on ballets by Tchaikovsky!
