Canon DSLR cameras are among the best stop-motion cameras of all time!

This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!

Great video Marc, thanks for the insight! I was always curious how large the actual models are.

I think this could be Chris Pine’s “Bottle Rocket”. I hope he looks past the reviews from passive viewers and produces more.

I was about to post my own review. 😂 Poolman deserves an honest look. ❤❤❤

Just bought the pro dock 4, only to find out sandisk has discontinued it and all support.

This film had a huge opening weekend. Over $200M.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but definitely a rare good expensive exotic limited tea.

Wow

This movie was nothing less than disgusting. Broke my heart to see Emma Stone doing porn.😢

Godzilla Minus One is now on Netflix!

here because I just noticed that the movie has a 29 score on Metacritic. Ouch

I honestly think that watching our longer review/analysis before seeing the film will make it easier to understand and appreciate the film.

I enjoyed this film and our discussion. The longer podcast is worth checking out if you’d like to know more about Poolman and director Chris Pine.

Nice review! It’s interesting to see someone positive on this movie.

Well done review. Interesting to learn about the style and Chris Pine's influence, vision, and love for LA.

Thanks for inviting me to be a part of this podcast Heath. This was a fun film to check out. The characters are so quirky and the film has an authentic look. Chris Pine was a pleasure to interview.

This is an interesting film. It's a bit oddball and goofy, but I did enjoy it. It's probably not for everyone, but I was entertained, especially when I went back and dissected the symbolism and references.

25:00 Godwin make her as an experiment, not to be a parent, so there's no need for guidance, he only need to control the environment and observe the subject. 25:55 Normal little kids do messed-up things like that all the time, frog, insects, no difference. Hello, you're taking the fictional premise too seriously and literally, and you're focusing on the wrong things and missing the whole point. Transplant a baby's brain into an adult body WON'T WORK in REAL LIFE, you will only end up with a dead suicide mother and a dead baby with open head on the table, the end.

Heath I do not understand why you doubt yourself. This film was not disturbing. Dogville is disturbing. Irreversible is disturbing. Antichrist is disturbing. This film is evil. I cannot imagine anything worse than a 'highly stylized' depiction and endorsement of child abuse.

Now Oscar winning song.

You said everything in this video. I don't need to listen to your whole podcast.

I agree with the guy on the left even though it seems like you're shy to come out and say it, it is what it is. It is pedophilia and disgusting and there's no way around it. Could have been an interesting story if they would have just left it as a Frankenstein character with an undeveloped sense of self and immaturity, but they made it clear with many many Clues to intentionally remind us that she is a 2-year-old, yet the next scene she's having vigorous sex with a man. But as the pedophile groomers want us to remember, she asked for it, she likes it and she wants it so therefore it's consensual. But having sex with someone who doesn't have the capacity to understand their actions, just as someone who is drunk or mentally disabled or in this case a minor, is a crime for a reason. It is not only illegal, but extremely morally wrong because they are not capable of understanding what the long term consequences are. This was a movie about a woman who was not only repeatedly, unknowingly raped, but was conditioned and desensitized by Stockholm syndrome into believing that it was okay. This is sick crap disguised as art! Just kike Roman Polanski, and we all know what he was charged with, and he's not the only one. I'm very disgusted that after Epstein Island there are people who still don't understand that child rape and torture in Hollywood is real and that the world is filled with sick pedophiles who are putting it in our face, yet we're applauding them and giving them Awards! I'm disappointed in all of you who dont see it at this point, as you have become either offenders or enablers by default. Wake up! See the truth!

I’m so 20:15 grateful that you brought this up. People with delayed intellectual development are SO OFTEN vulnerable to sexual predators. This movie had that in spades. It was scathingly disturbing and no one had mentioned it in the reviews I’ve seen so far.

Speaking as someone who has even MET any real children. Someone with a 7,8,9 year old brain would be a lot more fascinated with dinosaurs, bugs, dolls, Thomas the Tank engine, stickers, slime, puppies, kittens… Frankly children are interested in the world around them and are fascinated with ANYTHING… more than they would be interested in sex with an adult male (Ruffalo) aka sex predator.

THE MOVIE WALKS A FINE LINE as CLUMSILY as BELLA's first baby steps. I left so let down & feeling like the poor thing was me having gone to see it! I view the mainstream praise as a reflection of our times where superficiality vs substance has become the norm. If there's enough surface glitter, lip filler, butt padding & marketing ferocity then there's a good chance of success. Like a Frankenstein monster, Poor Things was a series of pieced-together events that touched on several deep social issues yet followed through on none of them. Like a Frankenstein who's threads are were loose vs sewn tight., much of her character was just plain contradictory. For one, her performance seemed to be retarded at first rather than a newborn innocently becoming aware while her unrestrained bluntness & unfettered reactions seemed too cold & cruel and lacking any sweet naive childlike innocence or wide-eyed curiosity. She was often emotionally one dimensional & distant, IMO. Later attempts were made to humanize her but by then the story had already begun to drag & the many narrative ideas remained unresolved. SO MANY CRITICS HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME REACTIONS to the film so I know I'm not just being purely subjective. EITHER YOU CAN IGNORE ALL THE BROKEN PIECES of the Story or they stand out like a sore thumb. Maybe the pretty nature on the surface camouflaged the holes in the film or the quirkiness but it was far from the best thing since sliced bread. In fact it ended up being mostly just icing without much cake! I find it interesting that people care less about seamless intricate complex storytelling & more about surface decoration. Some directors can do both. Although there were a few funs scenes, none of them validate the flaws of the overall film. At times her actions are CONTRADICTORY & hypocritical to a Story that was CONVOLUTED in it's exploration of many social themes which were never resolved. Many scenes were pretty but ARBITRARY and did little to progress the narrative! Her FRANKENHOOKER phase was wild & a bit intense but it was mostly contrary to her strong free-willed independent nature. Concepts of misogyny, pedophilia, prostitution, abuse only serve to SHOCK rather than reveal any true insight, empathy or heroic sentiment. For all the men bashing she then freely allows a woman, the Madame Dwarf, to use & abuse her. Saying nothing about contraception and STD's. Often I was just confused to whether or not to laugh or frown. Nevertheless the IMAGERY is stimulating to watch but the STORY just gets SLOW around 3/4 the way through. After all the controversial SEX, when it should become full of intrigue, conflict resolution or drama it stalls when her new found "ENLIGHTENMENT" BOAT TOUR tries to get Political, to no successful conclusion except to END with a GOAT SACRIFICE & sick operation to show REVENGE towards her estranged Father, a stranger to us & her the entire film only to end with a, so far, non-romantic relationship with a FEEBLE wannabe Frankenstein Scientist Husband who unsuccessfully did to that poor girl exactly what was done to Bella. WTF!!! I LEFT UNINSPIRED, unsympathetic, irritated over the whole experiences! > Please GO WATCH any TERRY GILLIAM film * or PIERRE JUENET's "Amelie" or 'City of Lost Children" (in French) or even DEL TORO'S "The Shape of Water" to experience truly strange, VISIONARY, eclectic, quirky, enriched, yet fascinatingly cohesive FAIRYTALE STORYTELLING. Heck you can even rewatch the classic "The WIZARD of OZ" to experience a film of this style, done EXCELLENTLY!

36:10: I called out the Oscar nominations long before they were announced. In hindsight, I think we had a pretty good read on this film!

The film is about Lilith the satanic feminist icon. Hollywood wood not fooling nobody!

this review is so refreshing!! i've been feeling like i'm taking crazy pills watching people's reviews only praising this movie and overlooking the points you guys touched on

Heath gets it

Poorly conceived but elegantly filmed, Pure Things is style over substance and would make Mary Shelley turn uncontrollably in her grave so as to frighten even poor thing Yorgos! This is an exploitative study in female child-grooming, hypersexualization and mindless sexploitation that could have greatly benefitted from being filmed exclusively in a Victorian brothel with an Amsterdam street decor and saved its middle-aged ateur-director half his budget! This is the stuff that Hollywood is made of in its life-long film exploration of females as "bodies" and after overdosing on LSD & Moulin Rouge repeat viewings. Lathimos expertly disguises his infantilizing of women (pedophilic attraction-no consent necessary) by giving the "child" a grown woman's body--kept alive with its own mother's brain. Nothing new in his "edgy exploration" that tragically defies humanity, except its impressive stylistic accomplishments. And that is not enough.

OMG. Lighten up. Sociopathic tendencies? Are you kidding me? This is a work of FICTION in an alternative universe and you’ve managed to squeeze every drop of creative inspiration out of this film and twist it into a highly subjective displaced hyper-analytic ball of angst. Geez. Talk about missing out on the wonder of it entirely. 🙄 Reply

Interesting and insightful

Cool that Finneas shared insight into recording this Oscar nominated song!

As a therapist who works with disabled and traumatized people: you can make films where you dislike characters, even if they don’t grow by the end of the film. They can even be abusive as long as the movie is rated correctly and it serves the story… but it is so hard for me to wrap my head around an infant person being abused in many ways repeatedly, and then just… having reached self-actualization almost on her own. She seems to be able to have bodily autonomy and take care of herself, hold positive relationships with close partners, and sort of win at the end. That’s not how trauma affects people; they become unstable to the point of needing support and therapy to recover. From what I’ve seen in reviews, she never experiences a period, another pregnancy, a sexually transmitted disease, and she always looks like she knew how to shave and take care of herself despite being an infant at the start; which lends to the absurdity as much as the beautiful visuals. I’ve only seen reviews, but from what I’ve heard I can only see the clients I work with before in the main character and honestly am point-blank offended at how this movie is seen as feminist. She does make decisions by the end of the movie, but it just seemed like “she is sexually liberated and knows what she wants now!” When the trauma that sex/lack of autonomy can cause at any age would most likely render a person unable to recover on their own, and really just unable to leave her abusers. If it’s supposed to make us uncomfortable to consider the themes, I still think it glorified the abuse. The conclusion for the movie seems that she got her revenge, so it’s art!

Me and my grandmother went to go see it, and shes not a huge godzilla fan, the only other Godzilla movie she's seen was the 1998 one which... Yeah. So she went in with extremely low expectations, but she got invested in the plot and instead of just falling asleep during the movie from boredom, and now she says its the best movie she's ever seen in her life, which makes me happy as a Godzilla fan (btw we watched the Minus color version because of how people said it added a bit more to the movie, and I think it gave some more serious tones to some parts that wouldn't without the minus color, and add some horror as well throughout the movie only something without color could do.)

Saw "Minus Color" this past weekend. Still enjoyed it because I liked the story. I hope the Blu-ray release has both color and B&W versions.

Re the frog scene, Bella had been brought up in Godwin's surgery with death and dead bodies all around

This film is nominated for an Oscar for its Visual Effects. It’s definitely worth seeing for that reason alone.

I agree that the color version is probably the best, but I love that they did this.

Thanks for your thoughts

Thanks for your thoughts

Wow! This is cool. It definitely has the look of the old-time movies. I can tell it’s a little harder to make out the detail, but it was a creative way to generate further interest in this film.

If PT was the most truly unique film you've seen then you must get out more. Without the visuals, the story would have been rated poor. If she had evolved like a normal child there may have been more than her nymphomania to focus on instead she evolves like a AI Robot. I GOT BORED when her character simply didn't develope into maturity which caused the film to go nowhere emotionally without any dramatic fulfilling narrative of conflict resolution. Glossy & fascinating visually, Interesting dark premise & concept with wonderful cast and acting, but a bit weak in terms of narrative intrigue and dramatic intensity that resolved or without any of the orgasmic pleasure & climaxes like those she enjoyed throughout the film! And why no sexual desires for her most humane & honest encounter, the Black guy? LOL! I just left the theater without feeling any lasting "emotional" impact & felt just as COLD AS SHE WAS towards most everyone and everything. After a while a child's brain becomes self-conscious about their social actions and that goat was just silly. SMH. Her 2 dimensional evolution didn't evolve the story. Nothing deep about this film. Just pretty filmmaking & surface bling. This was no brilliantly written, Terry Gilliam or Guillermo Del Toro cinematic gem
