Speed Racer (2008)
from Slimehouse · host Jasper, Jared, Max, & H Nelson
"Was that a ninja? More like a non-ja - terrible what passes for a ninja these days!" A movie that sped right past movie theaters upon release but has gained a following upon its second lap, The Wachowski's Speed Racer is a visual fever dream that fits into the cartoon-come-to-life aesthetics of our genre. It's got a lot in common with the Star Wars prequels and the Robert Rodriguez movies visually, but a humor and style of its own. Oh, and a monkey named Chim-Chim. Enjoy the discussion!
