Episode 146 - Robert Zemeckis' Pinocchio Review

Matt's Movie Lodgecast

Holy Smokeo! There were two major Pinocchio films that came out late this year and we opted for the most painful one! Director Robert Zemeckis, the genius behind the movie Welcome to Marwen (2018), has returned with a direct-to-Disney-Plus live-action remake of Walt Disney's beloved 1940 animated film Pinocchio. We knew this one was gonna hurt, but we were unprepared for the level of pain Zemeckis was going to inflict upon us this time. Will this $150 million soulless production finally put an end to Zemeckis's career?! Probably not! Tom Hanks is Geppetto, Benjamin Evan Ainsworth is the voice of Pinocchio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the voice of Jiminy Cricket, Keegan-Michael Key is the voice of "Honest" John, Cynthia Erivo is The Blue Fairy, and Lorraine Bracco is the voice of a new seagull character called Sofia. Brace yourselves for Pinocchio and have a Happy New Year! Holy Smokeo!
