In the end I didn’t connect with Mousterpiece Cinema like I had hoped for, and that’s why Mousterpiece Cinema will continue on minus one, very inconsequential, listener.If your first reaction to that headline is, “-But they just added Hollywood Stargirl and Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers,” let us briefly explain the difference between “catalog content” and “originals.” Both increase the overall size of the Disney+ catalog (also referred to as library), but originals are films made specifically for or premiering on the service whereas library films are films that have already been released.
Mousterpiece Cinema is well made, with great production values, and a pair of amicable and well informed hosts. I’m a huge Disney fan, moreso Walt Disney Animation Studios mind you, but I wanted more out of Mousterpiece Cinema than the podcast was willing to deliver. What Misters Spiegel and Bucsko do on a weekly basis will appeal, and probably already does appeal, to a lot of cinephiles.
My vote is to unsubscribe from Mousterpiece Cinema. I like what I like though, and in order for me to keep listening to a film related podcast I have to really dig the critical approach of the hosts. Not to sound like a broken record, but this probably won’t be the case for others who listen to Mousterpiece Cinema. It’s clear to me that Misters Spiegel and Bucsko know their stuff, but their approach to discussing a film left me cold. There’s nothing wrong with that approach, but it’s not an approach that I look for in my film related podcasts. It seemed to me like they were always scratching the surface of the film they were discussing and not truly delving deeper into what made or broke the film in question. The above being said, where Mousterpiece Cinema most lost me was in the type of film discussion the hosts brought to the table. Misters Spiegel and Bucsko didn’t exclusively deal with the dubbed version of Tonari No Totoro, but when they did I tuned out of the discussion. Again, this is an issue where some people will disagree with me, but I avoid dubbed films at all cost and I’m not really interested in a discussion of a dubbed film. Another pet peeve of mine is the existence of foreign dubbed films, unless of course the film is being shown to a viewer of a younger age. For most people this won’t be an issue, but those who know me know that I really despise plot description in reviews.Īnother issue I had with the podcast was the discussion of the dubbed versions of some of Hayao Miyazaki’s films. The next ten to fifteen minutes were spent describing the plot of Oliver & Company.

In their discussion of Oliver & Company there came a moment when, about twenty minutes into the podcast, the free flowing discussion stopped. There were a couple of areas where I did take issue with Mousterpiece Cinema. That by no means pegs Mousterpiece Cinema as a podcast that people should steer clear from, but it’s not a podcast I feel the need to add into my queue for weekly downloading. This is, I believe, another instance of a well made podcast that doesn’t gel with me for one reason or another. I had to rack my brain for things to say about Mousterpiece Cinema and I couldn’t come up with much. Nothing about the podcast was terrible, but nothing stood out to me either. I came away from Mousterpiece Cinema without much of a reaction. My affiliation with Sound on Sight isn’t going to play a role in this review, but it’s something I want to get out in the open.
Spiegel all that well and I had no idea who Gabe Bucsko was when I listened to my first episode. I have had a handful of dealings with Josh Spiegel, but that being said I don’t know Mr. The podcast did undergo a significant shake-up earlier in 2013 when one of the hosts, Michael Ryan, suddenly passed away.Īs a small disclaimer, or a slight aside if you will, I do write for Sound On Sight, the parent website for Mousterpiece Cinema. The podcast has always focused on Disney movies, and the format is that of a review of a Disney related movie, and some general side discussion of movies, Disney and otherwise. The podcast has been around since the middle of 2011, and usually the aforementioned hosts are joined by a guest of some sort. Episodes, usually a little over an hour in length, are released on a weekly basis from the Sound On Sight affiliated podcast. Josh Spiegel and Gabe Bucsko are the two hosts of the Disney centric podcast Mousterpiece Cinema.
