Watch with Septimo

I had some fun with this one. McKay does a great job balancing anxiety with absurdity, the musical cues are masterful, and the performances decent. The final scene really got me, it made the entire movie worth it.

Went into this almost WANTING to hate it, and came out having every single song stuck in my head for weeks. I am no fan of Manuel-Miranda, and Surface Pressure is my least favorite song I've listened to for over 20 mins on a loop, but I am now a covert. The animation, if nothing else, is amazing. The music is catchy, the story is tight, but you can hear the hateration in this my initial watch. I may consider recording my post-conversion takes, who knows.

Just a feller watching some MCU content. Commentary begins around 6 mins in after a brief intro.

If you're new to this experiment, I conceived of it during Quarantine to be something like those old DVD commentary tracks with the director or writer or whoever, except I'm just a regular fella that likes talking during movies. So sync up the movie with my countdown and make sure you have your subtitles on and let's go!
