MARK AS PLAYED: The Shape of Water and The Power of Visuals


On our latest episode, Jairo of THE TRUE BROMANCE FILM PODCAST and Jessi of MARK AS PLAYED struggle to keep count of the number of Oscar nominations that Guillermo del Toro's THE SHAPE OF WATER but they do admire the beautiful imagery seen in this new film. On that topic they also recommend two other movie podcasts on this filmmaker and that subject. In THE RAD CARPET the hosts talk about how both the war and fantasy elements of PAN'S LABYRINTH elevate an otherwise cliche film, and in MAD ABOUT MOVIES the discussion revolves around the excellent visuals adding more to CRIMSON PEAK much in the way of other more traditional live action adaptations.
It would be a fairy tale ending for us if you check us out in other places:

The voice talents in The Venture Bros. have always been top-notch, and R
