FEATURED FILM: Turning Red (2022). OTHER FILMS DISCUSSED: The Lion King (1994), V for Vendetta (2005), House of Wax (2005), But I'm a Cheerleader (1999), Roman Holiday (1953), Heart of a Dog (2015), Tarnation (2003), Red Cliff (2008), Mothlight (1963)

Filmmaker, video producer, singer, musician, ethereal angel and ray of sunshine Reina Lam goes over every single time Turning Red made her cry (apprx every five minutes) and why! Reina also tells the story of the very cool community screening she attended of the film, the similarities between Chinatown San Francisco and Chinatown Toronto, which movie 4-year-old Reina helped her grandpa not be scared of (in theory), why seeing a movie with the Lam Fam is basically a heist, Reina roars "MOAR!", we talk metaphors and generational family trauma, and how representation can encourage us to pursue the beauty of imagination rather than tolerating an intolerable reality!

This beautiful chat with Reina is full of wisdom, tons of heart and fun, laughs, and tears. Enjoy, all you popcorn pandas!

Ep55 - Don’t Be a Message, with Christian Einselbrooks

10 Recommendations

FEATURED FILM: Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1996). OTHER FILMS DISCUSSED: Deep Blue Sea (1999); A Goofy Movie (1995); Higher Learning (1995); Do the Right Thing (1989); Friday (1995); Boyz n the Hood (1991); Menace II Society (1993); Hollywood Shuffle (1987); Judas and the Black Messiah (2021)

A casually hilarious chat with Christian Einselbrooks, artist, long-time weeb, hood movie aficionado, and the funniest person on Mixtape's social media feed -- and now yours! Christian brings a very special comedy to the table, an epic parody film that covers many more bases than it may at first seem. We also discuss cartoon dads; what "casual" means when it comes to movie watchin'; the hood classics and what they have in common; what needs to stay in 1995, but what we want to bring back (PARDNER!); next level hamming; the importance of showing the laughs and not just the struggles; having fun with The Message; the best way to be a hater (with love); Hollywood's problem with portraying only a very narrow selection of Black stories; the importance of QUOTABLES!; and how "Don't Be a Menace" allows viewers to watch hood classics with a wider, more nuanced lens! MESSAGE!

This episode was a blast to record, hope you enjoy!
