UW Film Club Podcast #91: Puss in Boots: The Last Wish

“You are down to your last life. My prescription, no more podcasts for you. You need to retire.”

For today’s podcast, we look over Joel Crawford’s latest 2022 animated film Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, and how its stunning word-of-mouth talk by fans has helped it to be one of the most surprising hits of the last year. In this episode, we go over its breathtaking visual style, amazing storytelling, complex character design, the fact we are getting a Shrek 5, and how the film has helped capture tender moments that can appeal to all ages. All that’s left to ask is, do you like gazpacho? Find out here on the UW Film Club’s 91st podcast episode!

UW Film Club Podcast #90: Signs

“Morgan, this podcast stuff is just about a bunch of nerds who never had a girlfriend their whole lives.”

Here, we discuss its beautiful shot composition, timeless framing/VFX, the absurd yet heartfelt dialogue, how it cemented Shyamalan in the world of auteurs, and how the film encompasses the true meaning of faith and family while also begging the question: Does M. Night Shyamalan hate dogs? Find out here on the UW Film Club’s 90th podcast episode!
