Episode 574 – Ne Zha II / Highest 2 Lowest

Moviewallas: Ne Zha 2 & Spike Lee’s “High and Low” | Movie Reviews & Streaming Picks!

In this episode of Moviewallas, hosts Joe, Rashmi, and Yazdi dive deep into two very different cinematic experiences.

First, the trio unpacks the dazzling and chaotic whirlwind that is Nezha 2, China’s record-breaking animated epic. Was it a visual masterpiece or an overwhelming mythological journey for Western audiences? We debate whether subtitles—or a crash course in Chinese lore—might have helped guide the ride through this cultural spectacular.

Next, the podcast shifts gears to the gritty streets of New York with Spike Lee’s modern reinterpretation of “High and Low,” starring Denzel Washington and Jeffrey Wright. The gang is unanimous: this one’s a must-watch. From its slick cinematography and old-school thriller vibes to powerful performances and cultural commentary, Spike and Denzel have done it again.

Plus, our weekly streaming corner is back! Don’t miss:

– “Kneecap” – a Belfast-set dramedy with heart and humor, now on Netflix

– “Grave of the Fireflies” – the Studio Ghibli classic that will leave you emotionally shattered (also on Netflix)

– “Alien: Covenant” – Joe makes the case for giving this misunderstood sci-fi sequel another shot (now on HBO Max)

Listen to find out:

Which movie left Joe feeling lost in a mythological maze

And whether Denzel could be up for yet another Oscar…
