This week, Alex and Steve get spirited away with, uh...Spirited Away (2002), the Miyazaki masterpiece and only traditional 2D film to win the Best Animated Film Oscar thus far. The guys get into their personal history with the genre - and don't worry, Alex had actually seen this one before! As well as the monomyth-esque theme of sending children into strange and fantastic places to teach them a lesson. Plus, we learn what Alex's kid's favorite parts are! And finally, Steve bungles his way through a short but painful lesson in just how in the hell do you pronounce 'Ghibli' anyways? All that and more, this week on the podcast. Drop us a line at oscarwatchpodcast@gmail.com and be sure to like, subscribe and review on iTunes. It really helps people find the podcast! Also, find us on social media platforms @oscarwatchpod Next week, we may be looking at four tough years but let's go back and remember The Best Years Of Our Lives, shall we?
This is a great Disney movie!! If anyone is debating whether or not to see this already-released film, know that seeing it would be the right choice! You've got great voice acting by Dwayne Johnson, Auli'i Cravalho and Jemaine Clement, to name a few. The animation is stellar. Andrew and Phil went off talking about how beautiful the water looks in this movie. Best of all is the refreshing Polynesian lifestyle that permeates the world of 'Moana'. It's a much-needed break from the day-to-day lives most of us lead. Will 'Moana' take home the Best Animated Film Oscar from 'Zootopia'?? Either way, they're both Disney movies, so John Lasseter don't care!

The summer movie season is here and whether it's Tony Stark's armor or Freddy Krueger's fingers this show is all about METAL!!! IRON MAN 2 is bound to be a huge hit. This sequel to the 2008 film brings Robert Downey Jr. back as the hero. In addition to Gwyneth Paltrow and Don Cheadle (replacing Terrence Howard), Tony Stark must also contend with Scarlett Johnansen, Sam Rockwell and Mickey Rourke. Marvel Comics produced this one, which is almost always a good sign.A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET is the remake of Wes Craven's 1984 horror classic. Jackie Earle Haley (WATCHMEN, SHUTTER ISLAND) plays Freddy Krueger this time out in a remake that is more like the gritty original than the humorous sequels.FURRY VENGEANCE is not an internet fetish site, but a new family comedy starring Brendan Fraser. When a real estate developer is about to knock down a nature preserve, the animals of the forest strike back. Hilarity ensues, we hope.THE LOSERS is another comic adaptation, this one a tongue-in-cheek action title from a few years back. A special forces crew is believed dead after a double-cross. They return to the United States in a bid to take out the man who set them up.Finally, THE SECRET OF KELLS is a critically-acclaimed animated film which is only now hitting the United States. It was nominated for a Best Animated Film Oscar, alongside such films as UP and CORALINE.We'll be covering all this plus film news and our DVD Picks of the Week!Hope to see you there, Film Geeks!
