Podcasts about my life as a zucchini

This week we end out our Stop Motion Festival with the originally French film Ma vie de Courgette or My Life As A Zucchini by Claude Barras. This thoughtful and sweet stop motion film stands out as one of the best to come out in past years as it analyzes the hardships as well as the growth opportunities you go through as an orphan. With stunning tone and style this is a great film with a great conversation. Join us!

We have something special for you today, friends. This week, we log another installment in the temporary but long-form series of non-horror material in #whatsavesus. MY LIFE AS A ZUCCHINI (original French title MA VIE DE COURGETTE) was a 2016 Oscar nominee for Best Animated Feature and clocks in at barely longer than an hour. It tells the remarkably restrained but powerfully moving story of a boy named Ikar (who insists that everyone call him Zucchini) who is left orphaned following a sudden accident and taken to a group foster home where he soon discovers friendship, trust, love, and family. Nearly every scene of the film is rich with emotion, both joy and sadness in equal doses. Our guest Dave Courtney (newly invited to a more formal role in the FoG community) selected this film as an opportunity not only to share some of his personal story, but to give us all the chance to explore our own intersection with the world of adoption, whether literally, figuratively or spiritually.This is a really special film and we have a sensitive and heartfelt discussion about it which we hope will encourage you. Also don't miss a brief excursion through merry old England for episodes 5 & 6 of Season 1 of TED LASSO!

Peter Martinez returns with Kyle Lira to discuss "My Life As A Zucchini" and "Dolemite Is My Name."

This week, Summer & Josh watched the French claymation film, My Life As A Zucchini. There’s not really much to this one, but it’s a fun episode and an interesting discussion so check it out!

Somehow both Tim and Aaron picked foreign films to talk about in this month's This Is Good I Swear. Tim had Aaron watch "My Life As A Zucchini," and Aaron had Tim watch "A Pigeon Sat On A Branch Reflecting On Existence." I'm going to be honest, this one's a weird one. It was completely devoid of red bull. I'm happy to hear you're doing well.

On this edition of the Cinema Clash: A grim final farewell to Logan; Table19 serves up some lukewarm wedding comedy; BeforeIFall aims for the YA crowd; LandOfMine wins Charlie’s vote for best foreign language film; MyLifeAsAZucchini offers up a smart, animated tale about orphans (not veggies); and Hannah mixes up her mammals. 

Dave had to look after Baby Henry, so BOFCA critic Greg Vellante joins Evan and Kris for this week’s episode. After a brief game of “Get to Know Your Guest Host,” Greg leads off with BEFORE I FALL (at 7:30), the teenybopper version of GROUNDHOG DAY, which he finds forgettable despite its heart. Next Kris discusses TABLE 19 (15:04), a wedding comedy about nothing in particular that he dubs “stay together porn” for its terrible plot involving couples staying together that shouldn’t. After that, Evan and Greg rave about MY LIFE AS A ZUCCHINI (at 29:42), the touching Oscar-nominated animated film about a group of orphans who form a family. Finally, Greg fully loses his Spoilerpiece virginity by spoiling the heck out of LOGAN (at 42:06), the Wolverine movie that he describes as entertaining, unexpectedly moving, and extremely violent.
