It tells the story of a tuatara longing for the wild and worried about dying who is taken home by different students per the assignment of a strict substitute teacher.Leo was released by Netflix on November 21, 2023 to generally positive reviews.Leo is a jaded old lizard with a heart of gold who's been stuck in the same Florida classroom for longer than he can remember, alongside his terrarium-mate Squirtle the turtle. He's watched generations of students come and go but feels like he's missed out on life. When Leo learns he only has one year left to live, he plans an escape to experience the world. Thanks to a new substitute teacher who task the kids with taking one classroom pet home for the weekend, Leo has a chance to escape. His hilarious attempt to head for freedom and him opening his mouth to break the one simple role that seems to be the theme in the movie, you can't let humans know animals can take, which is pretty dope, like imagine if that was the case in real life, talk about restrain. In Florida, Leo the tuatara and Squirtle the turtle are the class pets of a fifth-grade classroom at Fort Myers Elementary School and are prepared for another year with a new set of students. During a parent-teacher conference night, where the students' pregnant teacher, Mrs. Salinas, announces that she must go on maternity leave, Leo overhears one of the student's parents say that he's old, making him despair that he never accomplished anything with his life. The next day, Ms. Malkin, the students' strict, no-nonsense substitute, arrives and is quickly loathed by the students.Leo is taken home for the weekend by Summer, a girl who is highly talkative. While trying to make his escape, Leo accidentally reveals to Summer that he can talk, and suggests to her that she ask more questions after saying that her constant talking tires everyone out. As a result, Summer becomes more popular among her classmates. Soon enough, the students begin to request that they take Leo home with them, where they share with him their own personal dilemmas, to which Leo offers them life advice. Before long, each of the students have taken Leo home with them and offer them their phones so that they can keep in touch with him.Fed up with the attention Leo is getting, a jealous Squirtle decides to expose Leo by revealing that he can speak to all of them, as he lied that the only ones who could understand him are the ones he was taken home with. Feeling betrayed by this revelation, they decide to disregard him, and Ms. Malkin, having caught on that Leo can talk and that the students' changes in behavior are the result of his advice, decides to take him to her home.While at Ms. Malkin's home, Leo learns that the reason she's grouchy is because she never got to accomplish her dream of being a real teacher, always getting relegated to being a substitute. The next day, the school is having a history fair, and the students manage to win the grand prize of a field trip to Magic Land Park with their reenactments of famous historical figures. When she is praised for her work, Ms. Malkin, wanting to take all the credit, decides to abandon Leo at the Everglades, and proceeds to lie to the students by telling them that he abandoned them, much to their dismay, as they had wanted to apologize to him.As the students head to Magic Land Park, Squirtle catches up with them and reveals that Ms. Malkin lied about Leo, to which she confesses. Upon arriving at Magic Land Park, the students and Ms. Malkin hijack the bus so they can drive to the Everglades. Meanwhile, Leo, while trying to fit in with the wild animals, learns from other lizards that he can live to be more than 75 years old, reinvigorating him. While trying to find a way out, he suddenly encounters a congregation of alligators, but they are successfully scared off when the students arrive and reunite with Leo.On the final day of the school year, the graduating students ask Leo how they could get through middle school without his advice, to which he says that they just have to look out for each other. Ms. Malkin is given a full-time job as a teacher and is promptly assigned to the kindergarteners, with Leo and Squirtle as the class pets. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is an animated television series developed by Bryan Lee O'Malley and Ben David Grabinski for Netflix. The series is based on the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels written and drawn by O'Malley, with the entire main cast from the 2010 film adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, reprising their roles, while also serving as a joint sequel/remake to the graphic novel and film. The series was released on November 17, 2023, to critical acclaim.The series, set in Toronto, Canada, serves as an alternate retelling of the original Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series. Like in the original series, Scott Pilgrim, a bassist in an indie band, falls in love with Ramona Flowers, a mysterious delivery girl, attracting the attention of Ramona's seven evil exes. Things take an unexpected turn, however, when Scott loses his battle against Ramona's first evil ex Matthew Patel and is seemingly killed. As everyone's lives, including those of Ramona's evil exes, change drastically as a result, Ramona learns that Scott may still be alive and decides to investigate his disappearance.THIS COULD BE RIDICULOUS CARTOON I HAVE EVER SEEN, AND I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF SHITTY SHOWS, BUT THIS ONE TAKES THE CAKE!This here is a peal of trash in my opinion. 8 episodes, 4 hours down the drain but what the heck do I know. Apparently, this is an alternative ending to the original 2010 movie. I guess the cool thing is that every actor in the original repriced their role in this shit show, of course, even the original was still as stupid as this. So it's just retelling nonsense. Another cool aspect could be that it's designed like a game, it's got Mario brothers type of coins that pop out when you punch someone to death, and every fight has mortal combat or even street fight vibes. I guess what's missing is that “finish him” aspect. This shows how impactful the Hollywood strike has been, This cabbage is considered entertaining. Now before I say anything else about this show, Romona is a whore and Scott is a creep who dated a 15-year-old. And could also be mentally disturbed. Dude faked his death and kidnapped himself, to prevent himself from marrying a girl. That's crazy but that's not even the weird part. I mean like if a future version of me kidnapped me and told me my life would be shit if I dated a particular girl, I wouldn't even question him, in fact, I would instead ask him to compel a list of match results of all the world sports so I could make a huge fortune making bets. Now that more logical and positive way to use a time machine, not waste time on some girl. Who's a whore for that matter, hey 7 ex-boyfriends are not a lot of body's. but you should question the type of men she is pulling when she breaks up with them. these fools instead of moving on start a little club, a stupid league of Exes, and their sole mission is to fight and kill Ramona's future love interests I mean how pathetic can you get.

SLY is a work of art, it doesn't only tell a story of legendary award winning; film director, screenwriter and action hero of the 80's and 90's “SLYVESTER STALLONE.”. He has a career that spans over five decades. If that's that make you a GOAT, I don't know what will. it somehow makes him immortal and mortal at the same time. The documentary shows, the vulnerabilities of a living legend.it shows his character not the role he played on motion picture but the man. The man behind the lens, the man before the words a written. In his purest moments. It brings out his true essences. The arrogance, the pride, the humility. The human not the millionaire and Hollywood mogul. But just a guy who had a dream, who work hard to make his dream a reality. It's beautiful. Its tear Jucker when you realise how much nonsense Hollywood movies have fallen. it's no longer about heart, passion and making relatable stories. It about making movies flashy and making tonnes of money. Story telling is a dying heart. And it's a wonderful to learn or to experience that Sly wrote, directed and produced, some of his great's moments on the big screen. To believe in yourself even when the odds are pinned against you. When they mock, ridicule you, trip and push you. That you keep on believing. For me that's really the message of this documentary and that no matter how successful you become it will always amount to nothing unless you have family and friends. Because ultimately that's what really matters. The people we love not the things we love. So, to me “Sly'', IT brings out his soul, it gives a detailed description of how much Sylvester Stallone gave it order to bring exceptional characters like Rocky Balboa and John Rambo to life. I only wish the documentary was longer.When I look back at my childhood, I look back with great fondness. It brings me to tears when I think that my father introduced to this wonderful world of movies. So, watching this and seeing sly talked about the trails and the huddlers he had to jump and cross to make these wonderful stories.I think about my father and the VCR, the tapes he rented from blockbuster and those movie rental joints. The anticipation of waiting for Friday and the weekend because we had no electricity. So, we powered the television with a generator. Slyvester stallion. He was so good. I couldn't separate him from the characters, we'd say, things like (while growing in fact some people still do that to this day.) “The new Rambo movie or rocky movie just came out” even though he was playing a completely different role, he was RAMBO. HE WAS ROCKY. with a whole different story line.he embodied the characters. So, much that they become real. You could almost touch them, while they were on screen. These are the types of films that resonate with the audience so much that, we become so involved in the story, you cry, laugh, jump with joy and you be enraged.whenever the character expresses an emotion. Its almost as if you were there with them. Like you part of the story somehow. I think that's what made Stallone so renowned. To make it even sweeter he wrote and directed it. Wow. Man was …. No man is talented. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
The start of this movie almost lost me as we just had Michael Fassbender ( the protagonist in this film whose actual name is never mentioned but, he uses various names throughout the movie, almost Jason Bourne-type of vibes) anyway, Michael delivers a never-ending narration while he waits to execute a hit. But then when I thought about the character, it made sense. David Fincher's ( the director, in case you wondering who that is) attention to detail throughout the entire movie is immaculate as every little thing plays an important part. This is also a very intelligent and smartly written movie that requires you to think, and for me at least, I really liked this as it made it a fun challenge to figure out certain elements in the film and to always pay attention to details.Plus the movie finds a way to make you feel like you're shadowing a real contract killer the whole time. The main character's narration is a unique touch, even in the normal everyday moments when he's constantly looking over his shoulder. The film's pace has a constant tension, with certain moments where it escalates rapidly into venomous action, yet the action never feels overdone and instead feels hyper-realistic.NOW PAY ATTENTIONI have a theory. This is a perfect misdirection trick the film creators made.You never get to know this unnamed assassin. You never get to know what makes him tick. That's the whole point.As a viewer, we normally project our own moral compass onto what we are watching. We think this is a revenge story. We think we are rooting for this character who is fighting back because his loved ones were attacked. But really, i don't think that's the point, I think it's something darker.Now listen Throughout the movie, the killer repeats his rules. He never mentions anything personal. Nothing about his home or girlfriend. He doesn't care about anyone. People are not important. He IS a paid killer after all. The Killer tells us his job bores him at the very beginning and hopes for a chance to experiment with more creative ways of killing.He is basically telling us he is craving a challenge. I believe he subconsciously makes the error of botching up the first kill on purpose to liven up things, to see what would happen & push him to the extreme of his abilities. It's as if he has created an excuse to go on a killing spree around the world. By the end, he realizes he loves his job again. This is why he doesn't kill the client as he knows this would destroy future gigs.The final scene is him poisoning his girlfriend's coffee. The girlfriend was his only weakness & vulnerable target. His handlers immediately for her after he botched the job. NOW he has learned this, now to avoid it from happening again he kills her.. but then again i could be wrong. ANYWAYSIn conclusion, "The Killer" is a must-watch thriller drama film that combines suspense, brilliance, and stellar performances to create an unforgettable cinematic experience. If you appreciate a well-crafted narrative that keeps you guessing until the very end, this film is a must-see. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

“Old Dads,” a Netflix comedy about three middle-aged dads in Los Angeles, each trying to deal with the delayed pleasures and perils of fatherhood, sounds like a Hollywood satire to watch along with “Bad Moms,” or maybe the sort of broad burlesque of child-rearing that would star someone like John Cena. Actually, though, it's not that sort of movie. It was directed and co-written by Bill Burr, who also stars in it, and it's been spun out of the kind of prickly incorrect observations that are the hallmark of Burr's stand-up comedy — and also the kind of squirm comedy that powers his anthology series “Immoral Compass.” “Old Dads” isn't nearly as good as “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” but at times it feels like three episodes of that show jammed together — that is, if Larry David were a Gen-X firecracker whose anger-management issues make Larry look like a pussycat.In the opening scene, Burr's Jack, playing catch with his pre-schooler, tells the audience in voice-over that embracing fatherhood later in life was more or less the best decision he ever made. He and his wife, Leah (Katie Aselton), have another baby on the way; as Jack sees it, they couldn't be happier. So what's the problem? In the old parental gender wars, men were called out for not being nurturing enough, or for failing to do their share of the housework. Jack isn't that kind of caveman. He's a warm, hands-on father, not the sort of ancient old-school sexist who expects his wife to do the heavy lifting of parenting while he's off working or unwinding.The problem for Jack is cultural and generational. He hates the brave new world of safe spaces, obsessive social justice, and what he sees as extreme oversensitivity. When he arrives at his son's private preschool, Little Hearts and Minds, to pick him up, Jack is two minutes late, and this is treated as a major infraction. Didn't he read the guidebook? In the middle of it all, he blows his stack at the principal, Dr. Lois (Rachael Harris), a moralistic Karen who beams with passive-aggressive pride. By the time Jack is done venting, he has said at least three words he shouldn't have (one is the C-word), and he's got to come back and apologize in front of the whole school.The rest of the parents, who are mostly millennials, tut-tut their disapproval, and talk about how badly they've been triggered. And that's what links “Old Dads” to “Curb Your Enthusiasm”: the way it satirizes a certain L.A. noodginess that's really a form of one-upmanship, one that grows right out of the corporate showbiz culture, with its fake New Age trappings. What everyone is really looking for is the socially approved way to get ahead.Jack and Leah are desperate for the principal to write a recommendation for their son (so that he can get into the right kindergarten!). As a result, everything they do is being judged. Burr, in his stand-up specials and podcasts, revels in what some would call “anti-woke” comedy, but what brings the satirical world of “Old Dads” to life — at least for a while — is that Jack recoils from the new ethos of parenting because of how controlled it is. He's a man of a certain age who feels that he's not allowed to do, or say, any of the stuff he used to. And that hits home because he's a father — a father who has somehow been denied what he feels is most essential, which is his authority. The whole world is telling him: You're not in charge. So he lashes out. And just digs the hole deeper for himself.Jack has two long-time buddies, both of whom are experiencing their own version of the middle-aged daddy blues. The hopelessly insecure Connor (Bobby Cannavale) lusts for his lost youth — he wants to look the way he did, and be as cool, which means that he speaks in his idea of cool signifiers, saying “pound it out” as he offers a fist bump, dropping his cringe version of Black street slang. (The office worker he tries to do this with looks at him as if he were from Pluto.) Meanwhile, Mike (Bokeem Woodbine) has grown-up kids and is done with fatherhood. Or so he thinks. He's living the life — until his girlfriend, Britney (Reign Edwards), announces that she's pregnant, despite the fact that he had a vasectomy.“Old Dads” also finds the space to be an office comedy. Jack, Connor, and Mike launched a vintage sportswear company that they sold, which should theoretically put them on easy street. But they still work there, and the new CEO is a duplicitous progressive-generation flake who talks about “liberating” workers when he's firing them. Miles Robbins, who plays this cuddly toxic clown, does it in high style.He sends Jack, Connor, and Mike on a road trip to locate a grizzled hermit — off the grid since 1988 — he wants to use as the company's so-obscure-he's-the-new-fame mascot. Along the way, in their rental car, they have a raunchy conversation about Caitlyn Jenner that is, let's just say, beyond unenlightened, and a video recording of the chat gets them all fired, their equity in the company canceled. Is this a violation of privacy? That's one of many glancing themes “Old Dads” introduces for about 30 seconds only to move on to something else. As a first-time filmmaker, Burr demonstrates a certain shaggy vision, but he keeps jamming episodic ideas together. Here and there, “Old Dads” hits notes of scathing perception. Connor's wife (Jackie Tohn) is convinced her preschool son can do no wrong, despite the fact that he likes to hit people with a stick. That situation sounds extreme, but what's funny and telling is the righteous therapeutic ardor of her language, where letting kids off the hook — for anything — becomes its own form of “advanced” parenting. And when Mike tries to force his millennial coworker to admit that if he really loves hip-hop so much, when he's rapping along with N.W.A. he must be saying the N-word, it's explosively funny, because it's such an honest scene. Yet there's a monkey wrench sitting in the middle of the movie. And that's Jack's rageaholic personality. Forget the over-controlled, virtue-signaling era. Jack's anger really is over-the-top and inappropriate, and would be during any era. So even if you welcome a satire of the new corporate-approved hypersensitivity, since Jack's rage is a more glaring problem than any of that it undercuts the film's satirical bite. I realize that rage has long been Bill Burr's calling card, but if he had made Jack a more restrained character, quietly infuriated by everything around him, “Old Dads” would have been funnier and scored more points. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Miseducation takes us into the life of Mbali Hadebe, the daughter of corrupt politician Brenda Hadebe, who faced accusations of stealing grant money. The series begins with Mbali's extravagant party, where every action she takes becomes a source of controversy, leading to her becoming a subject of mockery and the target of social media memes. Raised in the shadow of her mother's scandalous image, Mbali's formative years were filled with public scrutiny and criticism. The weight of it all became too much for her to bear, which compelled Mbali to break into tears and finally drift away from her friends. In an urge to escape the spotlight and return to normalcy, she makes a life-altering decision to relocate to Makhanda, enrolling at Grahamstown University. It's here that she crosses paths with Sivu Levin, the charming student who happens to be the university rowing champion and a candidate for SRC president. Their encounter ignites a love story that blossoms despite the difficulties of university and politics and becomes the core of Miseducation. This romantic tale takes center stage, showing how love can heal and change lives, even in difficult times.Miseducation is a lighthearted drama that delves into the complex world of university life and uncovers issues that are relevant to today's audience. It shines a light on problems like bullying, exclusion, and the complicated world of student politics at Grahamstown University. Through the story of Mbali Hadebe, the series vividly shows the challenges of fame and the difficulties of living under the shadow of a tarnished political legacy. As Mbali becomes more distant from her mother, she takes a drastic turn in her efforts to maintain her relationship with Sivu Levin, which leads her into morally gray areas that mirror her mother's actions. Amidst all the chaos, some unexpected friendships develop, especially with Sivu's adoptive sister, Natalie, who provides support and a sense of belonging. The inclusion of Jay, a character of South Asian descent playing a homosexual role, demonstrates the show's commitment to diversity and its fearless exploration of the issue of homophobia. Miseducation doesn't shy away from tackling these subjects, which serves as a mirror to the difficulties of modern student life.Miseducation goes beyond the typical romantic comedy-drama by boldly addressing prevalent issues in schools and colleges, including unequal treatment between wealthy and less privileged students, as well as the harmful tradition of ragging. In addition to its central love story, the show sheds light on the often-overlooked politics on university campuses, shining a spotlight on these important matters. The character Sivu Levin is at the center of this academic struggle. He faces a tough choice: should he stick to his privileged, bullying white classmates, or should he support the students who are being mistreated by them? This is a big moral dilemma, and it shows the difficulty of doing what's right when faced with injustice.As student elections approach, another strong candidate, Caesar, becomes Sivu's main competition. Caesar's involvement in an attack on Jay highlights the need for serious action against intolerance and violence in college life. The promising cast, helmed by Buntu Petse, who plays Mbali Hadebe, and Lunga Shabalala, who plays Sivu Levin, do a fantastic job, making their roles feel real and genuine. Besides the protagonists, we get to see a diverse cast, including Prev Reddy as a South Asian student, Jay Naidoo, and Micaela Tucker as Natalie Levin, who did an absolutely amazing job in the show, portraying a beautiful bonding between these characters. Through these diverse character journeys, “Miseducation” captures the feeling of college life, mixing in elements of romance and humor. It shows the contrast between the excitement of youth and the serious problems that students face. In the end, it's a show that not only entertains but also makes you think about crucial issues in education.As Miseducation Season 1 wraps up, it leaves us with lots of questions and characters we want to learn more about. The final episode hints at the possibility of a new season on Netflix, where we can dive deeper into the stories, flaws, and growth of the cast. Fans are left in suspense, wondering if Mbali will overcome her challenges or if someone will come to her rescue. The show's open-ended conflicts and mysteries leave ample room for more storytelling. At the core of the show is the evolving relationship between Mbali and Sivu, which has been a central focus. Its continuation is expected to be a driving force in the ongoing story, even though there's no official confirmation of the second season yet. Bit fans can anticipate the potential arrival of a second season of Miseducation. This series has already made an impact by addressing important issues in the academic world, and future episodes promise more drama and exploration of these fascinating characters and their stories. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

The cinematography, everything was great from costume casting the acting the set. Oh, my God, those sets were phenomenal and huge. This must have caused Netflix of fortune.

Because of her abusive upbringing, Miyo is a timid girl with very low self-esteem, often thinking of herself as a burden to others and letting them order her around. Until her engagement to Kiyoka Kudou, a commander apparently so cold and cruel that his previous would-be brides all fled within three days of their engagements. With no home to return to, Miyo resigns herself to her fate—and soon finds that her pale and handsome husband-to-be is anything but the monster she expected. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
On this weeks episode I review a new raunchy comedy in theaters, Joy Ride. A perfect movie for a friends night out and to laugh your butt off. I had a returning guest, barbershop owner, Jose Hernandez. For this week's throwback movie, we watched Netflix's original movie, Entergalactic starring Kid Cudi. Joy Ride. Directed by Adele Lim. Follows four Chinese-American friends as they bond and discover the truth of what it means to know and love who you are, while they travel through China in search of one of their birth mothers.Entergalactic (2022). Directed by Fletcher Moules. Jabari, a charming, streetwear-clad artist on the cusp of real success. After a chance run-in with his cool new photographer neighbor, Meadow, Jabari has to figure out whether he can make space for love in his life.https://msha.ke/thisseatstaken
A knight is framed for a crime he didn't commit, and the only person who can help him prove his innocence is Nimona, a shape-shifting teen who might also be a monster he's sworn to kill.I loved Nimona. It is beautiful, fast paced, funny and emotional. The quasi medieval world, with flying cars and subways, is visually a delight to look at. The characters are well developed and wonderfully voiced. Nimona herself is a true original- a quirky, feisty, anti hero. She sets out to cause mayhem but, as we get to know her, we realize she wants acceptance, not the fear she engenders in others because she is a shapeshifter. The developing friendship between her and Lord Balister is genuinely moving. They have both been outcasts but find strength in each other. Nimona is really a movie about being loved even if you are different, which is a timely message during these intolerant times. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
Amy Schumer: Emergency ContactOver the years her comedy got quite stale unfortunately. Eventually it seemed (to us) that Amy had left comedy to start a family. We figured good for her. She did very well for herself while in the limelight.Well... She's back.... with a special? I was curious, despite the large amount of distaste she has garnered for herself over the years with some of the biggest names in stand up. I gave it a try.Nothing relatable out of the gates. L. A. Plastic surgery material from a frumpy wanna-be funny mom? Hard pass. I feel like this was specifically for her friends and family, but thought it was good enough to make some cash from. I'm curious if she actually tried the material out more than a couple times outside her friends and family... This was NOT "special" material by any measure.Amy uses the exact same comedy beats that she used years ago. The jokes MIGHT be new, but the same tired delivery was enough to turn me off. I did chuckle a couple of times, but i might have just been attempting to find something funny. ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

In which Kid 1 and eventually the Mister join me in reviewing ENTERGALACTIC (2022) which is still available on Netflix. From writers Kid Cudi, Kenya Barris and Ian Edelman, with voice work from Kid Cudi, Jessica Williams, Laura Harrier,Ty Dolla $ign, Timothée Chalamet, among others and is directed by Fletcher Moules. The film follows Jabari (Kid Cudi) and Meadow (Jessica Williams) who are neighbors in the same apartment building. They meet and over the course of days and weeks form a bond. His ex and her insecurities throw a wrench on their budding relationship and as they do the work of building a relationship, you see how they do the work of making it work. A solid script, great voice performances and an excellent soundtrack make this a fun watch and not to be missed but with the caveat that even though its animated its NOT for younger viewers. The film clocks in at 1 h 33 m and is rated TV-MA. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

"Scott [aka Kid Cudi] sees music in color, so what the visuals of music meant to him. So he wanted to create a new experience and that alongside Kenya Barris and ideating what it could be led to Entergalactic, which essentially Scott wrote an original album, which is his 10th Studio album, and pieced those songs in before the creation of this love story, which runs 90 minutes from start to finish, and essentially the two parts exist simultaneously. So you've got the album on its own, and then you've got the event, which allows you to hear beats of each piece of music in all of these key beats of Jabari (Scott's character) and Meadow's (Jessica Williams' character) love story. Scott had tweeted out that Entergalactic was the greatest piece he's ever created. This is the thing he's most proud of. Scott feels that this was an opportunity to create that new moment for his audience where they're going to get to experience something that they'd never had the opportunity to before because it feels so new.""Scott lives in between the notes. So the things that you would expect, he lives right in the center, which is why his music is so interesting. The nuance and creativity of his choices is so indicative of the way that he hears sound."Karina Manashil is the President of Mad Solar Productions.

You're sitting there and at the end of it, Scott was crying, and I looked over - it made me cry low-key - but Scott was crying and he said – This completely blows my mind because this is the first time I had a vision up here in my head and tried to express it, and then had to trust all 300 plus people, all around the world, working in different time zones, in different places, and each of them putting a hand to it and seeing exactly that vision.

"Scott [Kid Cudi] is the most beautiful, kind, goodhearted man, but also he's brilliant. He's a generator of ideas. I feel like by being next to him, your role is to take all of these concepts that he's crafting and ideating and bring them to fruition, so it's a really beautiful gift where you feel like you're paired with an artist who is the source of so much. Scott was also really important to me in a lot of ways from our very beginning.""So the animated series Entergalactic tells the story of a black modern love story in New York City. It's simple in its core. Jabari, the character Scott plays, is a graffiti artist, and Cosmic Comics has decided to option his character and turn it into a comic book. So he's at this point in his life where he is moving into the loft apartment of his dreams, everything seems to be working for him when he meets Meadow, who's his neighbor. And she is this amazing woman, photographer, coolest cat on the planet. And essentially this show follows their meet-cute and their love story and the will they-won't they of if they'll end up together. So there's something very warm in its aesthetic.

Throughout it, it felt like we were doing something new and different. And then what really hit home is that there was something so new about the colors, the fashion, the music, the sounds, the visuals, the thinks and purples, even Fletcher Moules in the way that he animated, it harkened back to hand-drawn animation, where instead of, you know, traditional 3D animation of today where you've got your arm up and then you draw the arm down and the computer generates a smooth move from top to bottom, so everything looks perfect. With Entergalactic, it was really important to him to make sure each frame was hand drawn. So every move was a deliberate choice by an artist and a team of artists around the world.So there's something very warm in its aesthetic, but what's so interesting is that the love story is very nostalgic.

So I remember growing up where the movie that felt most reflective of our family was My Big Fat Greek Wedding, which, it's Greek. They're not the same, but it was so close, talking about the lamb, and we have Nick, Nick, Nick, Nikki, and in my family, Shuly, Shuly, Shuly, Sol, and there was just... It felt like, Oh my God, this feels like my family seeing that. And the second thing like that was seeing Ramy Youssef, who's Egyptian, New York. I'm Iraqi, L.A. Jewish.He's Muslim. It's not a like for like, but there was so much. I was like, that feels like us. So I feel my guidance would be, go for it! Because I feel like I've had these moments within the business, but seeing Ramy, it felt like content is renewed. All of a sudden, there's a whole new world that's open simply because he was willing to tell his story. And I would love to see a million more opportunities of that. And I would love to be involved in fostering opportunities like that. And I found it to be so inspiring to see content like that. So that, and maybe it's simplistic just to say, Yes, go all in. But my pride would be, and my appreciation would be, to see more opportunities for creators that move me in the same way that those two experiences felt reflective of who I am.”Manashil www.imdb.com/name/nm3556462/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 www.kidcudi.comMad Solar https://www.imdb.com/search/title/?companies=co0831164 Entergalactic www.netflix.com/title/81053303Pearl www.imdb.com/title/tt18925334/X www.imdb.com/title/tt13560574/?ref_=tt_trv_trvwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.org
"Scott [Kid Cudi] is the most beautiful, kind, goodhearted man, but also he's brilliant. He's a generator of ideas. I feel like by being next to him, your role is to take all of these concepts that he's crafting and ideating and bring them to fruition, so it's a really beautiful gift where you feel like you're paired with an artist who is the source of so much. Scott was also really important to me in a lot of ways from our very beginning.""So the animated series Entergalactic tells the story of a black modern love story in New York City. It's simple in its core. Jabari, the character Scott plays, is a graffiti artist, and Cosmic Comics has decided to option his character and turn it into a comic book. So he's at this point in his life where he is moving into the loft apartment of his dreams, everything seems to be working for him when he meets Meadow, who's his neighbor. And she is this amazing woman, photographer, coolest cat on the planet. And essentially this show follows their meet-cute and their love story and the will they-won't they of if they'll end up together. So there's something very warm in its aesthetic. But what's so interesting is that the love story is very nostalgic. It's, it just hearkens back to what a romance feels like.”Karina Manashil is the President of Mad Solar Productions.

"It was such a beautiful process. Throughout it, it felt like we were doing something new and different. And then what really hit home is that there was something so new about the colors, the fashion, the music, the sounds, the visuals, the thinks and purples, even Fletcher Moules in the way that he animated, it harkened back to hand-drawn animation, where instead of, you know, traditional 3D animation of today where you've got your arm up and then you draw the arm down and the computer generates a smooth move from top to bottom, so everything looks perfect. With Entergalactic, it was really important to him to make sure each frame was hand drawn. So every move was a deliberate choice by an artist and a team of artists around the world.So there's something very warm in its aesthetic, but what's so interesting is that the love story is very nostalgic. It's, it just hearkens back to what a good romance feels like. And what was interesting watching it for the first time was I didn't realize how much I missed seeing that from the US. It just felt like the joy that we've been missing in programming."Karina Manashil is the President of Mad Solar Productions.

"Scott [aka Kid Cudi] sees music in color, so what the visuals of music meant to him. So he wanted to create a new experience and that alongside Kenya Barris and ideating what it could be led to Entergalactic, which essentially Scott wrote an original album, which is his 10th Studio album, and pieced those songs in before the creation of this love story, which runs 90 minutes from start to finish, and essentially the two parts exist simultaneously. So you've got the album on its own, and then you've got the event, which allows you to hear beats of each piece of music in all of these key beats of Jabari (Scott's character) and Meadow's (Jessica Williams' character) love story. Scott had tweeted out that Entergalactic was the greatest piece he's ever created. This is the thing he's most proud of. Scott feels that this was an opportunity to create that new moment for his audience where they're going to get to experience something that they'd never had the opportunity to before because it feels so new.""Scott lives in between the notes. So the things that you would expect, he lives right in the center, which is why his music is so interesting.

"Entergalactic" is a new 90-minute adult animated special event coming to Netflix this Friday September 30th. Popular music artist Kid Cudi and "Black-ish" creator Kenya Barris team-up with director Fletcher Moules to present a classic love story in contemporary ways, set in modern day — and to Cudi's music. Moules and I discuss all aspects of one of the coolest animated presentations I've seen in a long time.
