Birthday Double Feature: "The Wild Robot" Meets "Joker 2"

Natey & Katy: At the Movies

"Send us a Text!"

Ever wondered how a robot could bring the warmth of family bonds to life? Join me, Natey, on a special birthday episode as I explore "The Wild Robot," DreamWorks' latest heartwarming animation. With stellar voice talents like Lupita Nyong'o and Pedro Pascal, the film follows Roz, a robot unexpectedly thrust into motherhood as she raises a goose on a deserted island. My wife and I found ourselves captivated by its unique story and themes, awarding it a 4.5 out of 6, despite its slower pace for the youngest viewers. This film is a refreshing break from the usual Hollywood reboots, perfect for families seeking a meaningful cinematic experience.
Switching gears, I dive into the enigma that is "Joker 2" as a musical. While Lady Gaga's presence as Harley Quinn initially piqued my interest, the film's musical approach left much to be desired, earning a modest 2 out of 6. Joaquin Phoenix's performance was the saving grace amidst a slew of unnecessary characters and a storyline that didn't quite justify its sequel status. To top off the episode, I revel in the joy of fan mail and hint at an exciting upcoming chat with a special guest about "Singing in the Rain." Don't forget to keep the conversation going with us on social media and be part of our ever-growing community celebrating movies, birthdays, and everything in between!
