313. Frame Rate: White Snake
🕑 Added 2020-08-25 13:00:08 +0000 UTC
If Pixar made a Chinese fable 6 years ago, it’d look a lot like this 2019 Chinese and American co-production. This most recent Pick the Flick takes us to the world of demons, humans, and utterly terrified dogs. Michael and Abe discuss the unique aspects of making an international kids film and how filmmakers will often water down narrative and character for a wider audience.

That makes so much sense that I can’t even imagine a time where I would fathom such a query. Immediately reading your reply, I can’t even imagine being in the mindset to where I couldn’t come up with the answer “it’s from the movie we’re talking about, dude.”

It was this movie, White Snake! At least the US dub version.

Can anybody name the movie they were quoting when they said “that’s what life is, a buncha shit you don’t wanna do?” And “well, you’re not one of ‘em, and you never will be.”?

I gotta tell you, one of my favorite things about Frame Rate is that, about half the time, I haven’t even heard of the movie being reviewed. Meanwhile, I have listened to three podcasts review both of the Bill and Ted movies, one of which is NOT a movie review podcast, and they just felt like doing it. But I am a marketer, I market, so I get it and appreciate it.
