Today, the Kicking the Seat Podcast and Keeping it Reel's David Fowlie hit the "Reset" button on Jumanji: The Next Level. The sequel to 2017's surprise smash Welcome to the Jungle finds Dwayne Johnson, Karen Gillan, Jack Black, and Kevin Hart once again navigating a mystical, high-res wilderness as the unwitting avatars of "real world" players.
And once again, Ian finds it just as hard to care/stay awake. David offers some balance with an appreciation of this off-beat, branded escapism, and the ensuing conversation proves to be much longer and more robust than either had expected!
Also, Ian reviews Fatso, one of eight new Blu-rays from Shout! Factory's fantastic Anne Bancroft Collection, and tells listeners about a 35mm screening of Chained For Life coming up at the Gene Siskel Film Center, hosted by none other than today's incomparable co-host, David Fowlie!
Episode 481 is fresh out of lives--and is oddly okay with that!
