    What if Wes Anderson was a) British and b) addicted to LSD?

    -2 stars for Simon Farnaby getting his cock out and Julian Barratt suckling milk from a dachshund’s teat.

    Thanks go to Harley for the recommendation.

    Can’t decide whether watching this film makes me want to join the UoM quiz soc or avoid it like the plague.

    Bonus points for The Cure songs, the Oresteia mention, and Bandicoot Cabbagepatch’s textbook Tory snob hailing from Ashton of all places.

    The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists!

    ★★★

    Ironically pirated this on a dodgy fire stick.

    Stunning animation, razor-sharp comedy (which is perhaps Aardman’s most risqué to date), and a tour de force voice acting performance from Hugh Grant as the hapless yet charming Pirate Captain.

    My main gripe with this film would be its pacing. Although the exhilarating pace of the plot aptly contributes to a sense of swashbuckling, piratical adventure, it can simultaneously leave the story feeling somewhat rushed and underbaked - particularly in the third act.

    Nonetheless, I feel like this is a solid - if not underrated - entry within Aardman’s incredibly consistent filmography that is definitely worth checking out.

    Petition to make Bubo the new CAHAE mascot.

    Also loved the Chappell Roan/Dot Cotton looking lady.
