Episode 224: 'Moon Garden' (2023)/ 'Soft & Quiet' (2022)

TRIGGER WARNING. ONE OF THE MOVIES THIS WEEK DEALS WITH SEXUAL ASSAULT AND STRONG LANGUAGE

There is lots of movie news this week. Beetlejuice is an absolute classic, so the news of a sequel was met with lots of excitement. But the original came out over three decades ago. And Tim Burton has not made a good movie in decades. And sequels made years after the fact do not tend to do well. Are we still excited? Plus, the surprising Five Nights at Freddy's trailer and Danzig's adventures on the French Riviera.

Moon Garden sounds like one of those movies that kids will love. It boasts fantastic imagery, outrageous characters, and an awesome villain. How did it end up being one of the most difficult films we have ever watched and why? In another case of style over substance we try to figure out the audience for this movie and question the casting.

We have covered some difficult movies on this show. Soft & Quiet may top the list. Both of use were left affected and have a lot to say. Perhaps surprisingly, both of us had drastically different opinions. We agreed that there were some definite flaws, but one of us  would never wish this on anyone, while the other felt this is something worth seeing.

There is no doubting it is a topical movie, but is it an important film of this generation? Would it have made a greater impact if it were released in a different time? What was the point of Soft & Quiet and did it take things too far? All this and more on our latest show.
