    This week we're talking about the visually stunning Loving Vincent. A mind blowing 65,000 hand painted frames from 125 artists created this film, but we couldn't help but think the narrative of what those paintings showed was a little lackluster.  We wished the same amount of detail that went into the animation was consistent throughout the project, but either way watch it for the paintings alone.Fumbler Score 7.1/10filmfumblers.com for all our links!►Follow us on Twitter! - twitter.com/filmfumblers►Follow us on Twitch! - twitch.tv/filmfumblers►Send comments and movie suggestions to filmfumblers@gmail.com

    In 1995, a tragic earthquake hit Japan and destroyed the movie studio that would have produced a live-action version of Perfect Blue. Production was stopped and funds were reallocated to create a shorter animated version of the film. Tragedy birthed one of the most original, influential, and most talked about anime films of all time. Satoshi Kon's brilliance inspired a generation of film makers and brought the world into the life of an IDOL. This was a fun (trippy) watch for us and really got us thinking about streamer/idol/celebrity culture that we see today. Fumbler Score: 8.6/10filmfumblers.com for all our links!►Follow us on Twitter! - twitter.com/filmfumblers►Follow us on Twitch! - twitch.tv/filmfumblers►Send comments and movie suggestions to filmfumblers@gmail.com

A lot of the problems can be dismissed by the fact that this Bruce has only been the Bat for a couple years, but only Taryn is fully convinced. Overall we liked Battinson!

    C'mon C'mon is a movie that invites the audience to reflect. It paints familiar scenarios from both adult and child perspectives, and it rolls slowly letting you really bathe in the moments the characters are flowing through. The camera work is beautiful, with slow subtle movements and black and white presentation to minimize distractions and offer a layer of removal from reality. Yet reality is sprinkled throughout with unscripted interviews from kids around the country concerning their future. There are no huge story arcs and also no real moments of sentimentality or emotional manipulation, yet we still managed to leave this one feeling some type of way. C'mon C'mon enters the Fumbler Hall of Fame with a 9.1!filmfumblers.com for all our links!►Follow us on Twitter! - twitter.com/filmfumblers►Follow us on Twitch! - twitch.tv/filmfumblers►Send comments and movie suggestions to filmfumblers@gmail.com

We went really deep with this one because it seems that despite being 64 years old not much has changed in America. It sort of left us feeling somewhat hopeful, but also somewhat disappointed that prejudice is still prevalent today.

    Do you like American Psycho? Although originally polarizing to audience in critics alike it developed a much deserved cult following when released on Digital Video Disc or DVD. There it found new life and came into its own commercially and artistically. The movie works both as a an examination of male vanity while also maintaining real genre thrills, justifying these tonal shift by placing the audience into the mind of the main character. The role almost went to Leo but we think Bale has a more bitter, cynical sense of humor. The movie itself is so polarizing most people probably don't even listen to the message. But we think they should, because it's not just about the killing and psychotic breaks, but a personal statement of the horrors of 80s corporate culture. Anyways, that wraps of horror month for us.Fumbler Score 8.8Special thanks to our guest of honor @jamallen89!filmfumblers.com for all our links!►Follow us on Twitter! - twitter.com/filmfumblers►Follow us on Twitch! - twitch.tv/filmfumblers►Send comments and movie suggestions to filmfumblers@gmail.com

    Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox is just that: cussing fantastic. It's got all the great things you'd expected out of a Wes Anderson flick, and they translate beautifully to stop motion animation. This also officially brings Anderson into the Fumblerverse, which I guess means that all of his usual crew is also now in the Fumblerverse. It's hard to not love this one, and it's a proven fan favorite with some of the highest scores given by our live audience yet, including a perfect 10! Collective Fumbler Score: 8.7Next week we are heading into June with no theme, but we will be watching Kubo and the Two Strings!

    Heavy Metal, directed by Gerald Potterton, is a pretty weird movie. Well, more of an anthology I guess. And boobs. A lot of anime boobs. Like a lot. It had it's good things too, like a great soundtrack an some interesting "chapters", but its ultimately just pretty weird and some of the "chapters" haven't aged well. But it gave way to Love, Death, and Robots, so it's hard to knock it too much!Next week we are rounding out AniMAYtion with Fantastic Mr Fox, a movie we can't wait to revisit.

    We're continuing AniMAYtion, a whole month  of animated movies! Katsuhiro Otomo's Akira has been an incredibly influential film, not only to animation as a medium, but to movies and the sharing of culture as a whole. Even if you are not really an anime fan, we encourage you to give this a try, it will blow your mind. It can get a little convoluted, but let it sit in your psyche for bit, and then revisit. Next week we are doing Heavy Metal, a movie none of us have seen and we're stoked to check it out.

    Some of the boys took some extra shots for this one. We're back and continuing Ape-ril by forcefully jamming Mortal Kombat into it! Directed by Simon McQuoid, this iteration of the popular video game (back to back video game movies btw) takes a different turn by introducing a new character, Cole Young, into the Mortal Kombat universe. We're sure, in fact we know, that MK purists will be vehemently opposed to this, but when you're tryin' to make that money, you gotta give the newbies something to follow along with. With a surprising (totally appropriate) amount of gore, fun callbacks to the game's famous lines, and a finger on the pulse of spamming low kicks against your siblings, Mortal Kombat was, if nothing else, a fun watch.filmfumblers.com for all our links!►Follow us on Twitter! - twitter.com/filmfumblers►Follow us on Twitch! - twitch.tv/filmfumblers►Send comments and movie suggestions to filmfumblers@gmail.com

    Look man I'm just gonna say it: Rampage is a decent fuckin' flick. Seriously, and I know it's plagued with a video game curse, so maybe our expectations are just low, but damnit if it wasn't a pleasant surprise. Directed by Brad Peyton, this one shakes things up with straight up brutal monster brawling, little humor jabs at itself, and an opening that sucks you in. But I ain't calling it a classic in 30 years.Special shout out to Quarter Circle Brewing for hooking us up with some tasty beers!
