We are listening to @ChatsunamiPod
, and oh, mi estrella, this episode is a fearless leap into the dazzling, whip-smart world of Puss in Boots: The Last Wish! Satsunami and Martin McAllister kick off Animation Month with the kind of gusto that’d make Puss himself tip his hat, delivering a podcast that’s equal parts heart, humor, and high-octane hype. It’s like they’ve snatched the Wishing Star and wished for the perfect blend of nerdy analysis and belly-laugh banter. From geeking out over the film’s Spider-Verse-esque animation to wrestling with its unexpectedly raw themes, this episode is a wild ride that’ll have you queuing up the movie and following @ChatsunamiPod
faster than Death’s chilling whistle. #UndergroundReviews #AnimationMonth #PussInBoots #PodcastAddict #FearMeIfYouDare
The hosts are a purr-fect pair, their chemistry sparking like Puss’s rapier clashing with Death’s sickles. Martin’s story of stumbling on the film via an Attack on Titan-inspired Instagram clip is a riot, and his infectious passion—declaring it “one of the best films I’ve ever seen”—sets the vibe. Satsunami keeps things rolling, deftly guiding the chat from the film’s “visual feast” to its heavy-hitting moments, like Perrito’s sock-in-the-river backstory that left them gasping, “There’s no way they put this in!” Their breakdown of Jack Horner’s gleeful villainy—shooting his own men with unicorn horns and wielding a “legally distinct” Jiminy Cricket—had me cackling, while their praise for the film’s scaffold plot and found-family themes adds real depth. Standout moments include their take on Puss’s panic attack (“nailed it in a kids’ film”) and the cave scene where Puss faces his past lives, which Martin boldly claims outdoes Empire Strikes Back’s Yoda cave. The only hiccup? They lean so hard into their love for the film that they skirt tougher critique, but their raw excitement makes it feel like you’re debating with buddies at a bar.
That said, the episode isn’t without flaws. The hosts’ relentless gushing—Martin’s “this is so good” could be a drinking game—occasionally overshadows nuanced discussion, and a tighter structure could’ve let them unpack the film’s broader impact or DreamWorks’ legacy more. Still, their unfiltered joy is the episode’s secret weapon, making it a gem for animation nerds, Puss in Boots stans, or anyone craving a podcast that’s as lively as a three-way star-chasing brawl. I’m giving this a .2/5—thrilling and heartfelt, with just a claw’s width of room to sharpen. We’re listening, @ChatsunamiPod
