Episode Details

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Daniel Howat, Ema Sasic, and Tom O'Brien join me to review and discuss the Disney live-action remake of 2016's "Moana" also titled "Moana" starring Dwayne Johnson, Rena Owen, John Tui, Frankie Adams, Jemaine Clement, and Catherine Laga'aia. Arriving only two years after "Moana 2," this is another cash-grab by Disney to capitalize on the popularity of one of their most recent properties, propelled mainly by its leading star. We all know it. We all see it. But is that enough to detract from what many of us considered to be a pretty great film ten years ago, only now we're seeing it, beat for beat, in live-action? With "Hamilton" director Thomas Kail behind the camera, original song creator Lin-Manuel Miranda producing, and Johnson and Clement returning, this should be another hit for the Mouse House, right? Please tune in as we discuss the transition from animation to live-action, the story, performances, songs, visuals, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!
