Paul and Corey Cross the Streams is a bi-monthly podcast in which hosts Paul Pakler and Corey Pepper watch and review streaming content. It’s the Great American Podcast where two friends learn about life as they float down the river of streaming services.
Welcome to Season 7!
As we are now a quarter of the way through the 21st century, like Bill Murray in Tootsie, Paul and Corey are asking, “What happened?”
This season we are looking at the trends, genres, styles, and more that make up cinema of the past 25 years.
In today’s episode, Paul and Corey look at the (mis?)adventures of an old man, a boy scout (Not capitalized! Some other organization!), a talking dog, a big weird bird, and… a thinly-veiled crypto-N@zi.
Yes, it’s Disney’s Pixar’s Up (2009).
What’s to say here, folks? Not great. Structure messy, YIMBY politics, Disney being Disney. Paul disliked it more, but both he and Corey were on the same page.
The balloons look pretty.
Sorry if you love this.
