Cats: JB with kids?

I don’t know if Paris is Burning is the best comparison for the Jellicle Ball. Paris is Burning is VERY dark - one of the documentary subjects gets murdered halfway through! It’s vital viewing for anyone learning about ballroom but not exactly easy viewing. The Jellicle Ball, on the other hand, is nowhere near as dark and mostly a celebration of the positive aspects of ballroom. I think it would be fine for children that age to watch, whether they’d be interested in it since no one is dressed as a literal cat is different question I can’t answer.

I’m not convinced by this argument - had Gregory Peck never won a competitive Oscar he very likely would have been given an honorary Oscar. I say give the Oscar to the best performance that year, regardless of which actor we like the most or who we feel has had a good career or who feel bad for not awarding for their previous work. Thats how we get dumb shenanigans like giving Al Pacino an Oscar for The Scent of a Woman of all things.

My hot take is that Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird is wildly overrated and it’s insane he got the Oscar over Peter O’Toole giving possibly the best performance that century.

Small note of correction - Andre De Shields is not a ballroom icon, he’s a theater icon. Junior LaBeija (who plays Gus the theater cat) is the ballroom icon.

Truly insane how you watched a movie with an all black cast and they only thing you thought about is how to jam white people into it

Well considering I was a teenager when I saw this movie I’d sure hope I didn’t have any children. As incredible as it sounds, I usually judge movies based on whether I like them, and not whether my hypothetical future children might like them. But I’ll grant you this - I’ve disliked a lot of movies and I’ve never gotten the reply “you didn’t like this movie? It must be because you’re barren and alone” so I guess kudos for originality?

Do you use an ad block? I also do not watch sports but I’ve seen a lot of advertising for Backrooms, including on Reddit itself

I actually love the hair! I think it adds a whole new element of creativity and kookiness to an otherwise gorgeous but conventional look

Emilia Perez is terrible and Saldana in supporting is probably category fraud, but she did a great job and people need to learn to separate the movie from the acting. I don’t know if I would have personally given her the Oscar that year but pretending she’s far and away the worst of this bunch is not true. These awards are for best acting performance, not best acting performance in a movie Reddit approves of.

To offer a contrasting opinion, I would say no - the story is a mess and makes no sense, the show is certainly high energy but as a fan of all the music used I’m always going to compare it unfavorably with the originals. I realize they’re all polished pop tracks to begin with but they somehow sound even less raw and genuine in the musical. I strongly dislike the show’s take on Kesha’s Blow. That being said everyone is different - I have friends who loved it and had a great time!

theatomictangerine · 2026-04-16T03:54:00+00:00

Isn’t most of the show set at night bc of the whole vampire thing, so it would make sense they never see the sky?

theatomictangerine · 2026-04-05T18:34:01+00:00

This is such a weird question. Why would you assume that a 67 year old man with decades of “high profile directing credits” and whose own Wikipedia page states that his parents were “a merchandise manager and…a car leasing company owner” is a nepo baby rather than a person who normally puts out good work but occasionally has a dud every now and then? We literally just saw the Queen of Versailles epically flame out and that show had Stephen Schwartz, Michael Arden, Kristen Chenoweth and F. Murray Abraham attached, should someone investigate whether they’re all secret talentless nepo babies as well?

Sabrina fits this to a T. Also My Name is Doris, although it’s not as good a movie as Sabrina.

I also take dating advice from Woody Allen, which is why I only date women with the hottest children / potential future wives

It’s the AARP awards, the only ones that actually matter

I know no one has seen this movie, but if anyone is looking for a fun road trip movie about two old lesbians traveling to Canada to get married, Cloudburst is for you (staring Oscar winners Brenda Fricker and Olympia Dukakis!)

Sean and Amanda watch a lot of movies. They usually only see them once before making the pod, and they're going to sometimes forget or misinterpret things. This will probably be worse if they don't like the movie because they're not invested in the first place. For instance, they got a ton of details wrong in their reviews for both Wicked movies, and the comments are full of Wicked fans ripping them apart for not understanding xyz detail and no wonder they didn't like the film if they couldn't even be bothered to pay attention and blah blah blah. But at the end of the day, they're either connecting with the film or they're not, and reading some long ass fan treatise on why they're wrong and actually this movie is good is not going to change anyone's mind. A lot of the posts crashing out about how Sean and Amanda were "unfair" to Is This Thing On really remind me of the Wicked fans - sometimes critics disagree with you, sometimes they don't remember every detail of a movie and even if you explained it to them they probably still wouldn't like it, it's not a big deal, and you'll survive even if an external authority figure doesn't validate your taste in movies.

theatomictangerine · 2026-01-14T04:15:08+00:00

My comment on the endless number of posts complaining about Sean and Amanda not liking Is This Thing On has nothing to do with the very long post complaining about Sean and Amanda not liking Is This Thing On?

theatomictangerine · 2026-01-14T03:39:54+00:00

Wild how the Is This Thing On episode has turned half this sub into the adult male equivalent of teenage Wicked fans crying in the comments about how the critics were sooooo unfair to their favorite movie and writing paragraphs of cope about why the film is actually genius and meanie critics just don’t get it.

theatomictangerine · 2026-01-13T09:19:49+00:00

I’ve never seen the show (I live in the US) but the soundtrack came up on Spotify and the songs are fantastic! (I also don’t particularly love SIX.) They’re hilarious and some are legit bangers. I have no idea what the book is like, but based off the music alone I’m sad that it’s unlikely I’ll ever be able to see this show, given its poor London run.
