It's the second week of 2023, and Dave and Jess spend it catching up on Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio on Netflix! This stop-motion animated film is listed as a kid's movie, but how does it fare as a date night watch?
Listen to the couple discuss whether or not this adaptation from a "Master of Horror" holds up against the famous Disney animated version. Surely it's better than Roberto Benigni's disastrous adaptation, right?
The couple discusses other favorite stop-motion animated films, with a shoutout to Kubo and the Two Strings. Other highlights include Jess inviting herself to a lime party (which, thankfully, is not the same as a lemon party), the use of dying maggots as a visual comparison, and a shoutout to the Kickstarter for David's comic book - Night of the Chihuahuas.
