Summary
In this episode of Can I Change My Score? , Sophie and Matt head back to the cinema – and back to 2012 – for the 13th anniversary re-release of ParaNorman . It’s spooky season, and this cult stop-motion gem still holds up (and looks even better in faux-3D). Matt’s enchanted by Laika’s craftsmanship, toilet-bound uncles, and Halloween deep cuts; Sophie’s swooning over the chubby charm of Neil and wondering aloud how long someone can stare at a puppet’s butt and still call it art. They discuss zombies, witch trials, parental disappointment, and why stop-motion might be the most unnecessary (yet most magical) way to tell a story. Hosted on Acast.
