It’s the end of the month and we’re enjoying ourselves at The Malted Meeple once again. After we get through Kylan’s various theories on dance movies, there’s a little bit of news to share and then it’s on to Disney. We have a review of the new live action version of Beauty and the Beast and then we chat about the dozen or so live action remakes Disney has planned for the next few years. Listen now!
Big digression on dance movies, inspired by Kylan’s talk of Fraggle Rock as the Footloose sequel (yeah, it made no sense to the rest of us either), through Breakin’ Two: Electric Boogaloo and on to Swayze movies
News – Deathnote live action trailer, Guardians of the Galaxy double feature, Black Cat and Silver Sable movie, Venom movie, Ready Player One VR developments, Five Doctors getting Riff Trax treatment
Beauty and the Beast – what we thought of it, how it compared to the animated version, what was added to fix plot holes
Upcoming Disney live action movies – Mulan, Aladdin (Guy Ritchie), Lion King, Dumbo (Tim Burton?!), Christopher Robin, Tink, Oliver Twist (hip hop version), James and the Giant Peach (Nick Hornby), Cruella, Little Mermaid, Pinocchio, The Sword in the Stone
