Profound films come a dime a dozen for Pixar, a studio who has been so successful that when they make good movies it’s seen as taking a step back. But of the profound films and subjects they’ve touched on, Inside Out provides the studio with one of its most challenging attempts at trying to succeed. Thankfully I can report that the film more than earns its profound status and a place amongst Pixar’s beat.
This week’s On the Floor tackles one of the biggest issues currently facing the film industry, the star system. With Jurassic World making a gazillion dollars and everyone cementing Chris Pratt as a new star, we take a look at the history of the star system, how we do and should determine what a star is and where we go from here. We also take ample time to shade Will Smith for his career choices. Enjoy!
On the Floor is back and more unorganized, jumbled, and scatterbrained as ever as we talk about new Netflix show Sense8. It’s appropriate that we have a wide ranging discussion given that the show is about 8 lives in 8 different places and mind melds and the such. We give our overall thoughts on the show, what worked and what didn’t, our fave characters, and who makes our sense8 workout list. We also talk about orgies and Spagettit tries to come for my wig over Lito. Enjoy!
Yall sense8s just…That show is wild. Don’t read any further till you have gotten to episode 7.
Making a film for a star is not a new Hollywood concept, its been done since we discovered what stars can do for film’s box office. Still there hasn’t quite been someone in the package of one Melissa McCarthy to build one around. Thank goodness for Spy then, the smart, wickedly pointed spoof of all spy films, that gives her an amazing movie to lead.
