Staff Picks: G-Rated Movies

10/04/21 • 52 min

Welcome to the first Monday of October and it’s time for Staff Picks! Once again, Val, Jake, and Tracy select three films and we discuss and recommend them to you. This month we all selected films that are G rated.

Tracy picked the 1973 Disney classic Robin Hood. It’s the retelling of the classic English tale of the scoundrel that robs from the rich to give to the poor. He also selected the Disney/Pixar film Ratatouille, and the 1982 cult classic The Last Unicorn.

Val also selected Ratatouille because great minds think alike! She discussed the G film that many mommy bloggers want to be re-rated as PG, which is My Fair Lady. She also picked the 2008 Hayao Miyazaki film Ponyo about a goldfish princess that longs to become human.

Jake selected the 1991 Disney classic Beauty and the Beast, the Dennis Quaid live action film The Rookie, and also selected a Miyazaki film in My Neighbor Totoro. The film centers on two young sisters who live in an old country house with their father and wait for their mother to recover from an illness. They encounter and befriend playful spirits.

What are your thoughts on these films? Next week we kick off Classic Monster Movie month in honor of Halloween. We’re excited to discuss some of these legends of the silver screen and may even have a special guest join us for an episode.

Black Widow: Beyond the Ledger Live From FanX

On this very special episode of Movies That Make Us, we are coming to you live from FanX in Salt Lake! Okay, it was live at the time, but obviously recorded now. This was our big live panel at the convention, and we were glad to also welcome special guests Heather Price of Nerdy Bitches Podcast and Cheesy Bloomfield of Cheesy and Noel Go to Hell Podcast.

In this panel we went on a deeper dive into some of the things that Black Widow covered and why this film was important in the MCU and maybe even in society as a whole. So join us at FanX- well, you know 10 days after FanX- for this special episode!

What did you think of Black Widow? Did you attend FanX? Did Tracy say something you disagreed with? You can send all of that feedback to [email protected].

Next Episode

The Creature from the Black Lagoon

This week, the cast of Movies that Make Us kick of October with the first of our classic Universal Monster movies - The Creature from the Black Lagoon.

The film is a 1954 black and white film that deals with a group of scientists attempting to find a humanoid creature that can live underwater in the rivers of the Amazon. It’s a shorter film, clocking in at 79 minutes, but has some great creature design, beautiful cinematography, and is quite a bit of fun.

What are your thoughts on the film? Next week, we discuss the 1931 iconic film Dracula with Bela Lugosi.
