Now this is a weird one, folks. The story of a zoo filled with cryptids (mythical monsters/animals) that is destined for tragedy. It's definitely an interesting and artistic film, but it sure is a strange one. Join Kyle and Tej as they give you their thoughts on this artsy feature. 

This week the guys continue the Berserk trilogy of films with a title so long we had to abbreviate our show's title. Tej and Kyle discuss the Battle of Doldrey and all the implications surrounding this stellar setup for what is sure to be a satisfying and not at all traumatic third film. 

This week the guys watched and talked about a movie that looked really exciting and like it had potential, that fell short by a mile. It's not every movie that Tej and Kyle agree so wholeheartedly. It's a coming of age story that should have focused on coming of age and less on the setting of the character coming to age. 

Strap in for a wild ride as the guys race into a must see by anyone who loves animation and its history film. It's Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 class "Akira." Set in post apocalyptic Japan after the events of World War 3 it follows a motorcycle gang as they embark on the ride of a life time, complete with military baddies and psychic wrinkled children.

"I Lost My Body" (2019) is the story of a severed hand making its way through a cold and difficult city to try and reunite with its past, its former body. 

I mean, need we say more? It's Shrek, and the guys have a hard time staying on topic as they discuss this legendary animated film. A film from just about everyone's childhood and certainly a movie that helped birth the meme generation come stroll with us back to Duloc, after all it is a perfect place. 

Your eyes do not deceive you! We have ourselves another double feature fresh from the editor. This week Tej and Kyle talk about Two movies separated by decades, but connected by animated ingenuity.
