In this Movie-Go-Round You Did This to Us, you did this to us... again. We had to watch a film that nearly topples over from the weight of its own bad science, The Happening! Listen as Brett, David, and Nicole tear their hair out over the impossible-to-swallow premise, illogical behavior of the characters, horrible dialogue, and waste of an "R" rating. Join us for one of our most spirited episodes! (It's better than watching The Happening...)

For this Movie-Go-Round Around the World, it was an occasion to highlight a nominee for Best Animated Feature at this past year's Academy Awards: I Lost My Body. A severed hand escapes a lab in Paris. As it makes its way across the city, we see memories of its former life, and a young man trying to cope with old losses and find new dreams. Nicole, Brett, and David really dug in to the story, the animation style, and what this film is trying to say. Come join us! Also, here is the I Lost My Body interview Computer Graphics World ran in December that Brett referenced.

In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, we drew a milestone work of the 90s, Chasing Amy. We dove deep into LGBTQIA* themes as we talked about how ignorance could flourish before fast internet, how open and direct communication is vital in relationships, and how even the gay community had a habit of pigeonholing people into categories. Join us as Nicole, David, and Brett compare sexual injury stories here on Movie-Go-Round! (Okay, not really that last thing. Sorry.)
