E269 - Animal Farm - What Would YOU Do?

This week on Cinema IRL, Scott and Amber are dissecting the 1999 adaptation of *Animal Farm*, a film that asks the question: "What if we took a bleak allegory about Stalinism and added red sports cars and a trip to the mall?" They’re following the rise of "Napopo" and the addition of a moral-compass pig named Lucky, all while wondering why anyone thought a "Laughter House" pun was appropriate for a story about systemic corruption. Between comparing Napoleon’s cabinet to modern political administrations and debating the intelligence of glow-stick-wielding children, they’re proving that while all animals are equal, some movie adaptations are definitely less equal than others.
