I mostly agree, but I feel like Talking Cat and Munchie could’ve swapped title character voices and been… still not good but somewhat better.
This seemed like a kids version of Weird Science
Great. Now we’re all picturing Munchie in that gym teacher outfit. You absolute rudeword.
I wonder if the Emily scenes were filmed recently… the way Kelsey’s Crow said “my voice is different… but yooou’lll get uuuused to it very quickly” seemed like they were lamp-shading the reaction to her voice after Beyond Atlantis.
this cracked me up, especially the way crow looked at the camera. crow isn’t wrong, i am getting used to it!
Also, if no one else has mentioned it yet, I applaud Jonah for standing up to Kinga even if he couldn’t actually stay standing for very long.
As someone who is on both sides of it, I’ll say I had a great time with it as a viewer and as a writer, I definitely understand the reaction they had.
Snow can be a lot of fun unless you’re the one shoveling it.
Meanwhile i loved loved loved Kinga’s face when she crimped the air hose. Really brought the maniacal
Same.
I can see it breaking them as writers. All the not jokes that just sit there as is waiting for laughs. And every movie beat being taken from other stronger properties.
Teacher having Gage stay after class - Bill and Ted*
Fantasies - Christmas Story
Scientist Friendship - BTTF
etc
- yes i know kids getting called to stay after class happens in a million movies. But this really felt like they were copying the “guys your report Had really be something special “ scene. I don’t know why i feel this but i do
Stealing and using this line forever.
Hi and welcome to the forum! I encourage you to stick with it… I’ve had problems with a few of the voices over the years, and for me those problems have always faded in time. I find that an air of Zen-like acceptance helps… well, I find that trying to achieve Zen-like acceptance forces you to focus on something other than the annoying voice, lol.
I’m going to break kayfabe here to say I am honored.
Interestingly, bits and bobs now crops up in the New Zealand Oxford Dictionary under bit as “bits and pieces (or bobs), an assortment of small items,” though it does not yet make any kind of walk-on appearance in the Australian National Dictionary
I KNEW they’d done that one before!
This reminds me – I will actually say something nice about Munchie. I thought it was terrific that the gym coach was kind and understanding, instead of being a stereotypical drill-sergeant wannabe. With the kid protagonist getting sh#t on by everyone at school it was a lovely break to see a little kindness.
The gym coach seemed really familiar to me, but he’s nobody I saw in anything else.
When they spent so much time focusing on the drunk at the party who told people not to go in the bathroom, I thought he must be somebody… a director cameo, maybe? But it turns out he was one of the producers.
If we’re all going to quibble about this, I’ll put my $0.02US in…
