Ratings:
Where to watch? Theater
Concessions of a Cinephile
In this segment, we switch to movie-motivated conversations of a large variety that could include headlines, trailers, top-five lists, best-of, competitions, etc.
Topic: Hybrid Performance
Best of 2024: Performances that transcend the medium. The actor isn’t visible but their voice and possible movements (CG/MoCAP) come across. Characters leave an impression.
Some possible movies: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, IF, Moana 2, Mufasa, Wicked, Wild Robot, etc.
