SLY LIVES! 
  (AKA THE BURDEN OF BLACK GENIUS)
(2025 dir. Questlove) Date Seen: February 16 2025
Equally as brilliant as SUMMER OF SOUL in every way. This one just became such a downer on the emotional front.. But I think that's kind of the point.







68) ASTERIX AND THE VIKINGS
(2006 dir. Fjeldmark / J.Møller) Date Seen: February 16 2025
Of the ten animated Asterix movies this one had my personal favorite animation style. Looking sort of like 90s "Waking Sleeping Beauty"-era Disney traditional cel 2D.. wish some of the humor landed better though.









67) ASTERIX AND OBELIX: 
      THE MANSIONS OF THE GODS
(2014 dir. Astier/Clichy) Date Seen: February 16 2025
really dug the new 3D character models and the color palette they went with.








66) ASTERIX: THE SECRET 
            OF THE MAGIC POTION
(2018 dir. Astier/Clichy) Date Seen: February 16 2025
Of the six Asterix/Obelix films I saw recently, this one was the best approximation of the source material. + it's a hoot! Make the kiddos watch it.
