Garfield
Is the new Garfield movie reboot worth your time, or just another nostalgia cash-in? Join us as we dissect the new characters Vic and Jinx, speculate on Garfield’s father-son subplot, and debate whether Jinx might be more than she seems. We’ll also voice our disappointment with the lack of adult humor and ponder the tropes and pitfalls common to children’s movies.
How does Chris Pratt stack up against Garfield’s iconic lazy persona? Our discussion heats up as we argue whether Nick Offerman would have been a better fit for the voice role. From the buddy dynamic of Garfield and Odie’s original film to the father-son reunion theme of the reboot, we evaluate which plot resonates more and share our mixed feelings about watching the movie with kids. Plus, we reminisce about the charm of actors like Hannah Waddington and Brett Goldstein, and critique the quality of the CGI rendering.
Lastly, we take a nostalgic journey through Garfield’s rich history, from plush toys and comic strips to Sunday comics and the 1988 TV series. We touch on fascinating trivia, like the Easter egg of Garfield’s comic strip debut date, and chuckle over the peculiar 90s trend of cartoon characters on car windows. As we wrap up, we share our excitement for a slew of upcoming movies and shows, including the much-anticipated Deadpool 4, Dog Man, and the Atlas series on Netflix. Don’t miss out on our lively debate and hearty laughs in this episode!
